SALTWATER.

Two solitary DRINKS braced up before his
honor this morning and waltzed away to the
tune of $3.50.
The cOrnce and trimmings on the Grand
Opera house are receiving their finishing coat
of paint and sand.
Durant. Wheeler & Co. have got settled in
their new office In the Grand Opera, and Will
Chambers looks as smiling as a boy with a
new wagon.
McKusick Anderson & Co. are paying off
their men, who came down from their
camps last night. They have broke up camp
for the season.
Westward, no! Immigrants for the Red
River valley are still arriving. One more added

Northern Pacific No. l hard
Owing to some misunderstanding about the
hall the Land League which was to meet last
night was postponed until some evening next
week. The time will be announced as soon as
the arrangement for a hall can be made.
Tramps are getting quite plenty in the city.
One came to the house of L w. DAILY yester-
day morning and knocked at the door. Mrs.
DAILY went to the door, when he said it was all
right, and stepped into the house and sat down,
and said that he was going to stop while.
Mrs. Daily was alone at the time, but she in
formed him that she was going away, and if he
wanted to stay anywhere that he would have
to go to some other place. He was told to go,
and he thought she meant business, SO he con-
cluded to go. All such should be watched
aid reported to the police.
The Democratic convention will becheld this
Thursday evening, at the city hall, to put in
nomination mayor, three aldermen and a
treasurer. TIE First and Second wards will
nominate the present incumbelts, butthe Third
remains to be heard from. We presume that
there will be strict party vote on all the can
Gidates except the treasurer and we have no
doubt but all parties will support the present
treasurer. Mr.. McKusick has performed his
duties to the satisfaction for all parties and
will be the accept d candidate of both parties.
Mr.. McKusick received the support of the
Democrats at the last election and in converse
ton with the most prominent ones. we feel
safe in saying that he will receive their sup
port this year. Mr.. Durant will receive the
unanimous support of the convention for
mayor.
The meeting of the City Improvement soci-
ETY., held at the office of Mcclure & Marsh,
Tuesday night, was largely attended. The
committee appointed at the previous meeting
to confer with parties in relation to setting
out trees in front of their property, reported
that the improvement meets with the approval
of the property owners generally. and they
felt warranted in saying that already one and
one-half miles of trees would be set out as
soon as they could be procured for planting.
1t is a move that everyone ought to be inter-
ested in, as it will add materially to their own
comfort and at the same time enhance the
value of the property, for it is the attractive
features which property possesses that gives
to 1t value, and at the same time shows that
the prosperity of the city is on the onward
march with civilization.
