A SHELL BOTTOM The dredger is
now operating, at the bottom OF the
| farther section of the channel, in q
stratum composed almost entirely of
shells. 1t is the hardest material it has
yet encountered, and progress is con-
scquently slow. The cut is being made
considerably lower than the contract
calls for, SO as to allow for drift from OPP
erations farther up the course OF the
natural current. The dredger's force
consists of Is men, rine of whom are
on the day.shift and seven on the
night force.

sioners have ordered that residents
along tie line of the l. Hawk road,

work upon said road in opening the
same, provided the county be not re.
quired to pay any of the cost, and pro.
vided further that the road be estab-
lished along the right-of-way of the
Northern Pacific railroad on the north
side of the track, il the owner of the
land will qui: claim right-of-way to
the county.
NOT En- RHAPPORT.-At the Swed-
ish dance given in the Armory, Mon
day night, the elements were not OF
sufficient accord to give proper ex-
preston to the "sweet concord of
sounds" that set the feet in rhythmic
motion and hearts to beating in that
unison which promotes love. On the
contrary, the demons OF Hate and
Jealousy seemed to have been unwel-
come guests, and to have melted con-
tention and strife, which resulted in
bruises and blood. Let us have peace.

MIss.-A miss fourteen years OF age,
named Mildred Rochfort. passed
through this city, Wednesday, who had

came to this country five years ago,
she was left in the old country to COM
plete a school course. Miss Rockfort

than ordinarily attends the average
