of the year, that of paving Water,
Chestnut. Myrtle and Second streets
with cedar blocks, was initiated yester-
day under the personal direction of
Walter c. Doherty, st. Paul, represent
ing the contract SIS, John w. Doherty q
Co. The preliminary grading of Water
street Will be begun Monday. and the
PAYERS will follow with their work by
Friday or Saturday, completing the
street as to paving and curbing within
less than week. Chestnut, Myrtle and
Second streets will then be paved in the
order named, all to be completed, in
Mr.. Doherty's opinion, as early as the
middle of July, though the contract
allows considerably longer limit. All
the cedar posts, brought from White
Birch, Wis, under the terms of the
contract between the city and William
Sauntry, are delivered on the levee,
where the contractors will at once set
up the mill and saw them into blocks.
The paving operations, when we'll under
way, will employ a daily average of
about forty-five men. With Main street,
so far as paved, in its present fine
shape, together with the pending im-
provements, and the operation OF the
electric railway, Saltwater will present
an appearance in keeping with her
importance and the size OF the city.
John Fitzpatrick and Tom Lowder
were taken into custody Yesterday by the
charged with the burglary of Lyons
saloon last Saturday night, when en-
trance was effected through a rear win
dow and the till robbed OF $50. Fitzpat-
rick closed long engagement as
Lyons barkeeper four weeks ago, when
he was, discharged; and tLoWder is a
well-known man who works in the
pineries during the winters. The arrests
were made on the testimony of a man who
says that he overheard between FitZpat-
rick and LOwder conversation which
clearly identified them and third man,
not just now in the city, as the guilty
parties, and showed that while one
tapped the till second held the window
raised, and the third stood guard. the
spoils being afterwards equally divided.
In order to prevent any possible fur
ther conversation between the two men,
Fitzpatrick was locked up at the county
Jail and Lowder at the city hall. They
will probably be arraigned this MORN
ing.
The long-delayed dynamo for the
street railway power house arrived yes
terday, but motors for two of the large

1t is said that at least eight Of the
fourteen composing the executive COM
mittee of the Driving Park association,
are disposed to engage Brooke's Cornet
band, of st. Paul, to furnish music dur
ing the June races. This disposition
meets with loyal remOnstrance from
an element which insists that as Still
water has a creditable band the home
organization should be engaged in pref
erence to anything away from home.
Saltwater can have still better band
if it's local musicians receive some de-
gree of announcement from home peO-
pie.
