Improvements at the depot addition
which Is nearly two miles east from ill.,
old town, are rapidly advancing. New
business blocks are Being completed and
streets are assuming shape. The long NV

John l. Tooker, the newly appointed
Territorial Secretary, vice McCutcheon
resigned, supplies subject for discussion
In official circles, a. also does the resig.
nation of our postmaster. The latter event
is general surprise, as Mr.. Fisk was sup.
posed to be firmly and popularity engaged
In the discharge Of his official duties. Those
absorbed In the stern, hard struggles OF life
know but little about the delicate compli.
cations that frequently govern in such mat.
