MAYOR HARTWIG'S
REPLYJO CRITICS
the NewM and the Citiien o
Hood Klver:
Inasmuch as an attempt is lielng
made by the (ilacler to throw din
credit on in.v action as mayor In re
gird to the appointment of a city
attorney, 1 consider It a public duty
to state my position iu Its true light,
olliciall.v, legally and from the stand
point of a fellow taxpayer.
Notwithstanding the statement of
the (ilacler as to the til lies of Mr.
Ivrhy for the position of city attor
ney, it must le admitted that the
city's legal affairs are far from U'lng
lu a satisfactory condition. It will
not be necessary for me to cite the
Instnuce. They are with us, and I
believe the time has come for a
halt and a straightening up of the
city's affairs. I am not laying nil
these Ills at the door of Mr.lerby;far
from It. Nevertheless, he lit the In
strument through which a continu
ance of the Illegal policy of the city's
affairs is apparently sought by what
Is termed the "majority of the coun
cil," and whose co operation Is so
frequently mentioned lu the recent
(ilacler editorial. 1 am of the opin
ion, however, that Mr. Derby lias
not, as an attorney, given his ap
proval to some of the transactions
of the "majority of the council." If
he lias, silence I required from the
point of professional etiquette.
Hut, to get down to the facts.
there Is no authority whatsoever
for the appointment of a cltv attor
ney by the common council by ordi
nance or otherwise. Isoth the city
charter and the state code make this
point clear. 1 ueretore It Is unneces
sarv to go into turn matter anv
further. The "majority of thecouu
ell" is'not supreme to the statutes or
the charter of the city, although the
l i lacier apparently think that it Is.
It Is the privilege of the council to
refuse to confirm the mayor's ni
pointees, for proper reasons, and he
can then present the name of another
appointee If he desires to do so.
It is stated by the Glacier that 1
have "blocked tne progress of the
council's action at every turn by an
unfavorable stand on the 'Derby' or
diimnce. I his statement Is not
inly untrue, but ridiculous. I have
ippi.sed the ordinance, as my pre.
rogative to do ho, with the author
ity of the law, and because I believe
I am right for obvious reasons. If
the fact that the failure to secure a
certain person for city attorney can
stop the city's progress, we nre cer
tainly in a had way. Wise men tell
us that no one Is Indispensable, but
that great and good reflector of pub.

The transactions In regard to the
passage of the "Derby" ordinance,
and its discussion, are immaterial.
In an effort to avoid friction, I have
tried to give the council men every con
sideration protierly due them In this
matter, open and above board and in
direct contrast to the star chamber
proceedings held In the office of the
lateclty attorney, where It was not
necessary to keep record, am) they
would not. therefore, have to be
"struck out or obliterated."
Contrary to the (ilacler, the mayor
does not concede that the ordinance
will lie successful ultimately. No or
dinancecan lie successful that Is con
trary to the statutes, and it w ill not,
therefore, have my approval; and I
trust that no more time will be
wasted on Itn procedure. 1 here are
too many things of a more important
nature demanding the attention of
the "majority of the council."

BASKET BALL SEASON
ENDS IN TROUBLE
The (ioldendale basket ball team,
which won the Columbia Klver
Longue high school pennant at Ste
venson last Friday comes in for a
severe roasting at the hands of the
Skamania Pioneer, t his paper claim
ing that the Uoldcndnle boys stole
the game. The score was 22 'to !).
Although lieating Stevenson out of
the game, according to the Nteveii
eou Pioneer, the Stevenson boy bur
led the hatchet ami Invited the Gold
eudale aggregation into the assembly
room of the high school, where a
sumptuous repast .was spread, and
the high school boys and girl as
sembled ami feasted ami made merry
the rest of the evening.
"Among the decoration of the
banquet hall," say the Pioneer
"were a number of pennant which
had Is'cn won at various time by
different classes of the school, and
these were tucked up around the hall.
After the thing wa over aud all had
gone home to bed till precious Gold-
endale buti'di sneaked back t.i the
school, broke into the building and
stole these pennant from the wall
and carried them off. They did not
remove them gently, either, but
Jerked them down by main strength.
o that all were torn and ome
ruined.
"When Prof. Martin discovered the
open window anil tne ios 01 me
pennant the next morning he got
a Hcarch warrant, and t'lty Marshal
Lindsay and Sheriff Knox examined
the baggage of the Goldendalelte at
the depot w hile they were watting
for the train. The pennant were
not found amongst the baggage be

proved their cowardice by turning

when they were discovered t he young
ladv wept copiously.
"Prosecuting Attorney O'Krlcn
