GRADING MAIN SrRErr.-A few days
since we called attention to this matter,
and in view of the near approach of
winter again refer to the subject. Dur
ing the last month or so, considerable
progress has been made in erecting sub.
stantial and handsome buildings. and
good and passible approaches are becom-
ing essential. The experience of our
citizens during the rain storms that
occurred in the latter part of August will
convince them that some means are
greatly needed to carry off the water
from rains or melting snow. The best
means of doing this will probably be the
construction of cutters on each side OF
the road, and raising the centre of the
latter. We well remember the condition
that the Main street of Austin got into
in the winter of 1S64-65. At that time
Austin like Phoebe is now, had no prep
eratlons made to carry off the surplus
water. The result was that an enor.
nous gully was washed out in the
middle of the street that would have
engulphed prairie schooner team, back
action and all. During the succeeding
summer substantial stone sewer was
built and there was no more trouble
afterwards. With the knowledge of this
experience we think our citizens, consid-
ering the great traffic on our streets,
would do we'll to take some steps to put
them in such condition that during the
winter they VIII not become bottomless
quagmires. .....
The STAGE LiNEs.-We were favored
yesterday with calls from Messrs. Gil.
mer & Salisbury, the well known propri-
etors of the Salt Lake and Montana stage
lines, and also part proprietors of the
Hamilton line. These gentlemen are
out on tour of inspection. They
informed us that improvements were
contemplated in the Salt J AXE route,
both in vehicles and stock. Having two
daily lines, one to Salt Lake and the
other to Hamilton, the citizens of Phoebe
can communicate with both the East
and West as rapidly rs can be expected
for a locality as isolated rs Phoebe. In
the course of our interview with the
above named gentlemen we took the
opportunity of expressing our thanks for
the public spirit OF the M,ssrs. Travis in
organizing the daily line Mt al earlier
date than was at first promised. Quick
and regular communication with the
centres of business is one OF the most
important aids to the developments and
the prosperity OF our mining interests.
CANDIDATEs.-In view Of the near APP
proach of the election candidates are
buzzing around furiously. They evil
IDENTIFY think that it is the early bird that
catches the worm, and so are out cary,
and late too for that matter. 1t is laugh.
able to see the look of woeful resignation
on the faces of some of our citizens, who
are supposed to be influential. when a
candidate suavely intilnates his desire
for short interview. They walk off as
meehly to their fate rs lamb to the
slaughter-house. We reckon the whole
batch of taem. the borers and the borees,
will be mighty glad when the thing is
over, and they are out of their misery.
JUSTICE OF THE PEAcE.-The Review
announces that Mr.. David Wilkin has
been placed on the Republican ticket as
a candidate for Justice OF the Peace for
Phoebe Township. Judge Foster was
nominated by the Township Conven-
ton, but, as we announced some time
since, would not accept the nomination.
YE COUNTY is now being represented
in Phoebe by our friend Sheriff Stein.
He looks as well and as jolly as ever,
and we hope he viii find his visit to
Yioche pleasant one.
PsET.~Yesterdny afternoon Mr.. Phi.
Felsenthal, was thrown from buggy on
the Hamilton road few miles from
town, but we are happy to say he es-
kcaped without s'rious injury,
fNJUnED.--Bar O'Dair, formerly of
Austin, where. he kept livery stable in
1857, was thrown from wagon on the
| way between Hamilton and Phoebe, and
| was very seriously injured.
Personal. = Yesterday we had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. AL. Barber the
Superintendent of the Magnet Mills.
Mr.. Barber has just returned via Salt
Lake, from a visit to the East.
| RETURNED. Louis Felsenthal arrived
yesterday from San Francisco. Glad to
see him back again. ur.. a
