Joe Allen out, but Joe says he will merely
cut the hours Of days labor down to

that there will be no cause to call on the
governors for mediation.
ado you know there is a joint in one of
ysur buildIngsg" said the county attorney to
a gentleman yesterday. "No; i rented that
for lunch room" "Lunch, shoel," said
the official. "A lunch room is dead sure
sign of a joint"
Yesterday was prolific in runaways. A
painters team awoke the echoes on Central
avenue, and, as l was taking the lay of the
land, and other things in spring wear at the
Douglas avenue depot, just after dinner, a
pair of ponies, 1 believe, belonging to Nc
Naghton, came tearing east on the avenue,
and they reached the Chisholm creek bridge
before they were caught.
The business men at the corner Of Doug
las and Mosley avenues are kicking for Il
street lamp and drivers on the avenue east
are complaing tina. the ends of the street car
ties are sticking up SO as to almost smash
rigs
/ rambled over a considerable portion of
the territory north and south of Douglass
avenue on the east side of the Santa Fe
yesterday and found the building boom
rampant there. / was told that
p. V. Healy was going TO tear
down the old frame stables east or the
Santa Fe house and build a brick business
house on the lot. w. T. Buckner is build
ing frame store at the intersection of
Douglas and Ida avenues. South of this
on Ida avenue Mrs. Furniss is building
quite cluster of houses and on the oppo-
site side of the street some Ohio man, whose
name the mechanics could not tell, is erect
ing nice brick dwelling house. Away
down south along this and parallel streets
about dozen new houses can be seen, most
ly small ones. Further east on Douglas av-
enue Joseph Keonig has just finished a
house and away out near Hydraulic avenue
a man named Pinkham is building small
frame store. The greatest activity in building
however, is on the north side of the avenue
along Mosley, Washington and Ida avenues,
Mathewson's addition, clear up to Central
avenue. There is a regular new town being
built there and they are fair average quail
ity of frame houses. Among those building
in that section l learned the following
names: DR.. Pratt, Geo. L. Mum, Mr..
Stsrchman, Z. F. Barnes, Fred Boucher,
Mr.. Quimby, Joseph Carter, S. Kinsman,
Burt Smith, - Leesc, Sam Bear, Joseph
Slower, Prof. Shull, the Misses. Medley, NJ.

found the stone saw mill beyond the
Santa Fe track blazing away in full blast
and just above this found new foundry
that has just been started. II is called the
Eureka Iron Works and tho proprietors are
Campbell & Shone. The building is 24x50
and they will soon be ready for business.
Owing to the strike the machinery is de-
layed. They are buying all the old iron
they can get.
observe that there is quite number of
fellows of all shades and hues who are de-
termined that nobody shall steal the Santa
Fe depot, SO they just sit on the platform
nearly all day.
There is generally gang that hangs
about the corner of Main street and Doug
las avenue, and who are always wailing that
there is nothing doing. if there is not reg
ulsr rush and rip-roaring time on these
streets. l suggest they tske rsmble occa-
sionslly and see what is going on outside
the business streets think it ought to
cure their complaint. Anyone who will
keep track of all the building and other
substantial improvements that are in pro-
gress in this city now cannot fail to be con-
WINGED that there is big boom on tap. The
walls az the coffee and spice mills and the
brick residences for the proprietors are
climbing up rapidly.

nue.. 1t was fine fresh painted hack drawn
by tsndum pair of horses.
The street commissioner has done good
work during the year, but there is just one
thing l would suggest regarding improve
men;s on the residence streets. They are
generally too fiat; 60 the wster laws
on them and driving cuts them up badly.
They ought TO be rounded very materially
and an open ditch should be maintained and
KEEP: clesn on either side. 1 would like to
have this done before &c: TO be commits
sicner myself because my appetite tor work
is greatly on the wsne.

With reference to the Little Nugget, rise
