CIVIC PRIDE AND
CIVIC UPBUILDING
%
McCarthy is in the midst of
a good sized building boom.
Two or three new buildings
have been erected while a dozen
or more have altered or enlarged.
This boom has been tin* dir
ect result of a little civic pride
and unselfish thoughtfulness in
the putting on the market of a
considerable quantity of good
lumber at a price that does not
make one throw up his hands in
holy horror, and the buildings
stand as a permanent and use
ful monument to this thought
fulness.
McCarthy micrht well take
heed of this little object lessen.
Civic pride Ins long bee-, notice
able by its absence and it is
high time that we spared a litt'e
thought from our own pleasures
and well being to consider the
town colie -tively with a viow to
its betterment and future pros
perit;>—perhaj s to its future
existence.
This can only be accomplish
ed by submerging selfish inter
ests in the interest of the com
moil good.

The following is from the
police reports of Se .ttle —
A young couple were occupy
