In the absence of Mayor Hammar, the chair\nwas occupied by Aid. McCallum,\nmayor pro tem.\nA communication was received\nfrom the secretary of the fire department, asking for a donation of 8100\nfor the sports to be held at the firemen's benefit on the 24th inst. Mr.\nMcCallum said it had been generally\nunderstood at the beginning of the\nyear that no donations were to be\nmade during the present term. It\nwas, however, difficult to refuse the\nrequest of the firemen, as it was a\nvolunteer department. On the other\nhand, if granted, there was danger\nof further requests being made later.\nAid. Henniger thought the council\nwould have to make tbe donation,\nalthough he would rather see the\nmoney expended on street improvements. On motion, the request was\ngranted. - '\nA communication was also read\nfrom the chief of the fire department\nrespecting the, rate of remuneration\nfor firemen when on duty.\nThe following accounts were ordered paid:\nMax Kuntz $ 25.00\nJ.

Brown, of the cemetery com\nmittee, reported progress, but no\ndefinite arrangement for a new bury\ning ground had been made yet. He\nwas of the opinion that the proposed\nsite neais Smelter lake waB too far\naway. He thought a nice location\ncould be obtained on the north side of\nthe North Fork opposite Ihe city. The\npresent cemetery, however, was the\nmost conveniently situated, and if\nperfect title could be had to enough\nground to last for ten years, he favored securing and improving it.\nAid. McCallum had been placed on\nthe oommittee to co-operate with\nthe other members, and to investigate the title to the present grounds.\nHe thought a good title to the three-\nacre plot could be secured at a reasonable rate. He hoped that the\ncity would grow fast enough that,\nwith ordinary health, it would fill\nthe present cemetery in ten years.\nOn motion, the committee was authorized to negotiate for title to the\npresent grounds, and as much more\nland as might be deemed necessary.\nAid. Clements, chairman of the\nwater and light committee, reported\nthat at a conference with the fire\ndepartment, the following rate of remuneration for firemen had been\nagreed upon: Call, 50 cents; per\nhour when actually at work at fires,\n$1.00; first team at fire station, $5.00;\nteam at station for false alarm, $2.50. *\nThis rate is the same as was sugl.Work\ngested at the last meeting of the\ncouncil. On motion of Aid. Brown\nand Henniger, the report was\nadopted. <\nThe matter of the er**Hion of a fire\nstation in the North addition was\nbrought up by Aid. Clements. He\nsubmitted an estimate of $150 for a\n14x20 building. He said he would\nrather not see it erected, but as the\nfiremen in that part of the city had\nset their hearts on having it, he\ndidn't think it would be wise to antagonize them. Aid. Hutton favored\nbuilding the station, and said if it\nwas erected the firemen would commence practice work at once. Aid.\nHenniger thought that if the station\nwas -erected the firemen might not\nuse it, but do as they did in the\nWest ward\u00E2\u0080\u0094meet elsewhere. Aid.\nBrown took the opposite view. On\nmotion of Aid. Brown and Hutton,\nthe request of the firemen was granted, the building not to cost more\nthan $150.\nOn the recommendation of City\nEngineer Reid, the hours for free\ncity water for lawn sprinkling were\nfixed between 5 and 9 a.m. and 5\nand 8 p.m.\nThe firemen on duty at the Victoria hotel fire were allowed $3 each.\nDuring a discussion regarding city\nwork, the aldermen appeared to be\nuucnimous in the opinion that all\ncity work should be authorized by\nthe council; ot, in the event of urgency, by the board of works. The\nstreet commissioner, it was thought,\ndid not have the power to undertake\nimprovements on his own responsibility.\nAid. Henniger expressed the opinion that if theie was any money\navailable for street improvements,\nthe contemplated work ou Winnipeg avenue should be carried out.\nAid. Clements reported that the\nhand pumps had been removed from\nthe wells in the West ward und\nstored. The water and light committee was authorized to dispose of\nthem to the best advantage of the\nOn motion of Aid. Clements and\nBrown, the city clerk was authorized to call for tenders for the erection of a fire station in the North\naddition, the bids to be opened at a\nspecial meeting of the council next\nThursday evening.\nOn motion of Aid. Clements, it\nwas decided to hold an election to\nelect an alderman to fill the vacancy\nat present existing in the Centre\nward on the 1st of June, nominations to be made on the 29th inst.\nAid. Brown gave notice that at the\nnext meeting of the council he would\nintroduce a tax sale by law.\nThe council then adjourned.\nNEWS OF THE CITY\n\u00C2\u00BB \t\nork Has Been Started on\nBig Flue Dust Chamber\nat the Smelter\nreturned to the city yesterday from\nSpokane.

Patrick\nJ. Kennedy owned a third interest\nin these claims, but his ownershi\nwas unrecorded, and was in the\nname of Francisco Fera. In the beginning of November Antonio Scar\npelli produced $150 in cash ani\nplaced it on a table. At the same\ntime Fera produced a check for\n8130, and, instead of Patrick J. Kennedy taking up the money tabled by\nScarpelli, he took up thc check and\nthe balance in the cash. Thc remainder of the cash was taken by\nFera. Fera said at the time that he\nwould rather Kennedy took the\ncheck, so that if he got drunk he\ncould not say that he had not re\nceived the money. But at this time\nScarpelli received no acknowledge\nment of the $150 he paid over for a\nihird in the Victoria and the Two\nBrothers. So, subsequently, on\nDecember 0th, 1899, a document\nwas drawn up which set forth that\nScarpelli had paid over to Kcnnc\n$130 for his third interest, and that\nif Fera did not pay back the money\nwithin a year, then this third inter\nest should belong to Scarpelli. This\ndocument is signed by Francisco\nFera, and is witnessed, under his\nsignature, by Gabriel Galizia and\nRafael Scarpelli. Last December\nScarpelli sued B'era before Judge\nLeamy in the county court in this\ncity for certain sums, and among\nthese sums was this particular\n8150. In defence Fera swore that\nhe had neither signed the acknowl\nedgement referred to, nor had he\neven seen the paper. This was the\nperjury of which complaint was\nmade. The case will probably last\nfor two or three days.\nA Force oF IOOO Workmen\nWill Be Employed For\nOne Year\nContract* for building 22 miles of\nthe Great Northern's Similkameen\nvalley extension, between Oroville,\nWash., and the international boundary line, have been let to Spokane\nmen. A thousand laborers will be\nemployed for a year, as the work is\nunusually heavy. Material is being\nrushed into the field, and operations\nwill be in full swing within a month.\nL. E. Shields, of Simms & Shields,\ngeneral contractors for the Great\nNorthern, arrived in Spokane last\nSaturday from St. Paul, and is now\non his way to Oroville. His firm\nhas the general contract for the\nwork. In an interview in Spokane\nhe is reported to have said:\n'Subcontracts have been divided\namong Winters, Parsons & Boomer,\nPorter Bros., Jones & Onsued and\nCaughran & Woldson of Spokane.\nThis particular piece of \"Work was\ncontracted for now because it will\nbe needed, regardless of the final\nroute.\n\"Itis uncertain whether the road\nwill be bnilt to Oroville from Midway or from Republic. The Midway\nroute is 45 miles long, with 2>V per\ncent grades for 17 miles eastward\nfrom Oroville. Then, in addition,\nsteel must be laid on the present\ngrade, 15J miles long, from Curlew,\nWash., to Midway. The route from\nRepublic via West Fork and Bona-\nparte creeks is 05 miles long, on a 1\nper cent grade, and it is easy con\nstruction. That route would not\ntouch Loomis, or any other important points, between Republic and\nOroville. Although longer than the\nMidway route, it would be much\ncheaper to build.\n\"I can't say what route will be\nadopted in reaching Oroville. I understand that thc railway company\nis striving to get some changes in its\ncharter from the Dominion parliament at Ottawa, so as to permit it to\nchange its original project.\n\"Thc section from Oroville north\nto thc boundary line'will run on\nboth sides of the river, with one importing bridge.\n\"As for the final route of the road\ninto tho Similkameen, I understand\nthat it is being held iu abeyance until a further examination of the resources\u00E2\u0080\u0094principally mineral\u00E2\u0080\u0094can\nbe made.\"\nThe last of the celebrated Nnn\nPatterson murder case has been\nheard, as the woman has been released on her own recognizance,\nafter three different juries had failed\nto reach an agreement.
