SEWERS FOR THE PRESENT YEAR
which the City Now C~Ontempiates Build
ing-Road Improvement and
the New Fountain.

While buildings Of every description
are continually arising and indicating
the extensive investment Of private
capital. the city has apparently been
dormant all spring. First venue south
has been graded to Sixth street at a cost
of about sl.JO0. Outside of this the
amount Of labor performed has been
small. Curious TO learn what the officials
Of a municipality. containing such enter
prising citizens. had in store for their
constituents, a TRIBUNE representative
called on City Engineer G. b. Worlcy at
his pleasant offices in the Dunn block.
In answer to certain ~interrogations he
said.
Not Il great deal has as yet been
done. In the matter Of street improve
mcnt First avenue south has been graded
as far as Sixth street. entailing an ex-
pense of about sl.JOO. Fourth avenue
north is to be graded and the work will
cost about 800 Yes. IT will be graded
its entire length"
What. if anything. will the city do in
building sewers this year.
Just now | cannot say for certain that
it will do any building at all. There is.
however. IA probability that "A main will
be built on Sixth street. 1t will extend
from the river to Second avenu north. a
distance of about half mile. 1t will re
uuire about Il $21,ND investment if ii IS
built. OF course the building Of this
also means the building Of a number Of
lateral sewers, probably four or five. One
of these will be from the school house,
another between Third and Fourth
avenues north and a third between
Fourth and Fifth. | guess that most of
the property owners on the north side
desire the sewer. 1t will drain all the
property on this side east Of Fourth
street. Work on it will not begin before
the first Of September.
do you think of anything else which
the city has under contemplation. and if
not the city is there any other news OF
note:"
THE work of building the fountain on
:, Central avenue will begin next week.
This. you know. is to be built by private
substitution. and Of the amount needed
800 or $500 have been raised. Already
a connection has been made with the
water main by means Of ii 3inch pipe. \
sewer is now being put in to carry off the
waste water. Some time next week
work on the basin Of the fountain will
begin. This is to be entirely of stone
with IA handsome coping of cut stone and
will be forty feet in diameter. 1t VIII
+ cost about $500 and will take the entire
. amount already raised. The style of the
center piece has not been decided on as
vet think there If nothing more.

ANOTHER FINE NEW BUILDING.
the Corner of First Avenue south
and Fourth street.

The TRIBUNE. several days since. pub
lished a complete list of buildings in
course of erection. Looking at past and
present it confidently vcntured the as
sertion that the building season had
but fairly opened, that following in the
wake of other successful investors CAPT
talists would soon be erecting other
great blocks and thus create still other
sources of congratulation and profit to
Great Falls. Behold the gr )undwork of
the prophecy.
A new ard handsome building is going
up. Learning that Mr.. Carloss Wilcox
of Minneapolis was about To erect an
other block. Il TrIBrNE representative
called on his son. Mr.. +. &. Wilcox. OF
Chowcn ~ Wilcox. and learned the fol
lowing particulars:
The building is located ON the corner
of First avenue south and Fourth street.
1t has a frontage Of 100 feet on the ave
nue. and 30 feet on Fourth street. 1t
contains seven handsomely finished.
commodlous store rooms. or these four
front on the avenue and three on Fourth.
The avenue rooms have ii depth Of scv-
enty feet.
Pressed brick is the material to be
used. and the front will present an un-
usually handsome appearance. being en-
tirely of plate glass. 1t will stand one
story above the ground and is furnished
with an extensive basement, which will
be fitted out for shops and office rooms.
The entire building will be furnished
with electric lights and with all other
modern conveniences. The finishing
will he a natural hard oil finish. Eacl
storeroom has Il skylight.
1t was expected that the work 81
draining and eXcavating for the building
would begin yesterday and probabl,
within two months il will be ready fol
its tenants The fact that several appli
cations for these rooms have alread,
been received is II striking comment 81

seems to prevail in this locality. Mex

4 HORSE SALE.
Two ub-cOntractOr on the Barker
Branch Try to Swindle Another
Sub,

j. Il. Purdy and \. w. Baker, sub
contractors on the Barker branch, were
on trial before Judge Morehous Fri
day afternoon for trying to defraud a
man named Peterson. also a sub. The
latter purchased a team OF horses from
Purdy and swore he paid 800 for them,
exhibiting a bill of sale to s~ubstantiate
the payment. Soon after Peterson OBJ
tanned the horses, Baker came and took
them by force, claiming that Purdy had
previously mortgaged them to him.
When the testimony, which was a tritle
shaky, had all been submitted by both
sides, County Attorney Martin advised
the Judge to dismiss the case. He said
the evidence was such a mass of weak.
ness he thought it would be impossible
to obtain a conviction in the distric,
court. 1t was very plain that some one
had discarded the wholesome advice OF
the framed motto hanging in the court
room. "Remember Your Obligation.
The judge after administering some
needed advice to Purdy and Baker warn
ing them against taking another's prop
erty by force discharged them.

A Lie Nailed.

relating to Great Falls. The following

Aberdeen, S. d.. IN the 18th inst:

of the 22d ult.. ! notice AN article on

"Sandy," of your city.
The latter term seems to he Il misno-
mer, for Davies left a sure all-summer
job at six dollars 5000 per day because
he was homesick. He was even discour-
teous enough to quit in the middle of
the day. He stated to his employer that
he liked his work, but was homesick and
wanted to $50 home to ma Aberdeen
is Il splendid city. but its prospects are
not frightened by the publication Of
falsehoods about other prosperous towns.
Mr.. Davies is alleged by the News to
have stated that the prospects of steady
work were very discouraging. and living
expenses SO high that he determined to
get out of the country. Now he knows
that he had work in sight OF one build
ing where he was employed to last until
September. and plenty Of other work in
town to last until winter. Davies is fur
ther quoted as saying that over 'W
brick and stone masons are out Of en-
plOyment here. This is a deliberate mis-
statement, and he knows It. No first
class mechanic need remain idle a day III
Great Falls at the present time. Con
tractors are advertising every day foI
competent men. There is more building
here now than ever before: and as We
never had a .'boom" the consequent "col.
lapse" So fcelingly referred to in the in
terview, has not nor will it ever come tt
Great Falls. There is today a larger
force of men employed on the copper
smelter than ever, and orders have beer
issued to double the construction force
at once.
1t is not wise to urge a man TO leave hi'
home and family if he is doing well. hu'
when the change has been made and thu
man is getting twice as much as he ha'
been receiving, with expenses less than
one third higher, he ought to have nerve
enough to stick by it. If he hasn't, elo
quent silence would become him mucl
better than blatant newspaper interview
which contain false statements in ever,
