SOME mud yesterday.
COMPARATIVELY few farmers came
N TO the city yesterday.
AT the retail stores business was not
as brisk as on ordinary ccaeions, but
the sales aggregated about an average
for week day.
CONSIDERABLE grumbling is heard
around the street corners owing to the
poor condition of the cross walks. The

The rain of yesterday has taught
very instructive object lesson TO the
that additional crosswalks are needed
and some of the old ones ought to be
repaired.
THE street railway extension to the
Mob Hill ADDITION will be pushed
through as rapidly as possible. All
the necessary material has been pur-
chased and OILY its lateness in arriving
causes delay.
The Consolidated Oil Company have
removed one of their tanks to their new
grounds, but the other remains as an
Old landmark where it has stood since
the place was built upon. Has our

Now is the time to look up your last
winter nYercoat, shake the camphor out
of it, and search the pockets for the old
mittens that have done Service these

will exceed anything of the kind in this
part of the Territory.
CONSIDERABLE material is being re-
ceived daily for the new depot. At
present there is so much on hand that
1t almost obliterateS the view of the
edifce itself, but as the work progresses
the material piles will materially
diminish, and the building will ma
teriallze.
The Gas Company have completed
the laying OF mains on Fourth Street
east and west. Next in order are the
service pipes or connections to resi-
dences and stores. A number of orders
yet remain to be executed. Gas will be
turned on in few weeks now, perhaps

SEVERAL unimportant real estate
sales have been made recently. I'm
important were they? Well, they were

YESTERDAY afternoon the police sue
ceeded in capturing an inebriate who
was so far gone that he could neither
stand nor walk. Being wholly without
information as to his identity the non
de plume of John Doe was entered On
the register and if he sobers sufficiently
he will have his trial tomorrow morn

be sufficient to secure his freedom.
PAINTERS, grainers and GLACIERS all
seem to be finishing the buildings

the work in that line will get somewhat
dull, as the number of buildings that
can be so far completed this fall Is
necessarily limited. Why not agiiate
the question of putting names on the
streets. and numbers on the houses.

done indoors by the stove, and will add
more to the attractiveness of the city
than ten times the amount expended
in any other way.
