PAVING is COMPLETED
Work on Main Street Brought
to an End.
THE STREET CAR TRACKS
Ore Vexatious Delay After Another Hes
Interfered to Delay This Part of
the Work Workmen Laid of
and the Quarry Closed.

The paving of Main street was finally
completed yesterday. All but the paving
of the street car tracks had been COM
pieted but one veXatious delay after an
other had interfered with the completion
of this work. Mr.. Wharton had supposed
that everything was on hand to complete
the work, and he had been assured by +
Kinds q Co. from whom he had arrange
for granite blocks. that enough were on
hand To complete the work. Kinds a. Co.
supposed they had stone enough at the
depot but there was Il mistake some
where and in the middle of the last block
work had TO be stopped because there
was no more stone.
The workmen had all been discharged
and the quarry closed up for the winter.
but +. q. Dugan, who seems to have
some connection with the firm of +. Kinds
d Co, came to the rescue. He went out
to Beef Straight himself and proceeded
to hew out the stone with his own hands.
This was slow work. as MIR. Dugan is
not used TO that kind of hewing and he
occasionally pinned for Hugh wilson
back room and oyster cocktails. But he
kept manfulN at work and ut last had
cut out two carloads of granite blocks.
Then there was another delay of several
days. The tracks being icy. the Northern
Pacific refused To stop To switch on the
cars fearing the freight would be unable
to get under heaa.,dY again up the steep
grade. Afte: several days delay Mr.. Du-
gan again came to the rescue. He pushed
the cars up to the top Of the I'M, There
he put on the brakes. seated himself in
front and ran the cars down the hill TO
Butte. 1t was a piece of heroism such as
has seldom been known in this town be-
fore. Mr.. Dugan is quite the hero Of tie
occasion.
Everybody is glad that Main street is at
last clear and open to traffic from end to
end. Mr.. Wharton will now proceed 10
get the right-of-way for his line To
Walkersvillc. but il is not likely that
anything will be done toward the con
strnction of their line until late in the
spring
1t is the intention of the city authorities
to start the movement for paving Broad
way, Park and Granite streets as early
in the spring as possible There were
many delays the past season ANA had the
weather been less mild during the fan the
paving could not have been completed
this season. With mud on the side
streets Main street will still be muddy in
spite of the paving and iii order to free
the business center of mud these side
streets must be paved.

Brings Down "A G.rizziy,

Twenty years ago few women, eX-
cept those living on the frontier, knew
how to handle gun. Nowadays the
woods are full of Dianas as soon as
the game season opens. Within the last
few years hunting has become a popu-
lar pastime among the fair sex OF
America and many women have ac-
quired considerable skill with the gun
and rifle as a consequence. California
boasts a real Diana in the person of
Mrs. Homer Peart, a popular young So

THE IRON INDUSTRY.

In recent article in the Chattanooga
Times there appears an article which,
without undertaking to--review the pro-
gress of the iron industry during the
ante bellum days takes.up the industry
from the time of it's revival, about 1870
and traces it down to the present time
Some eight Southern States are given
as manufacturers of pig iron, and of these
the principle ones are Alabama and the
two Virginias. The capital employed in
1873 was S5,400,000, but in 1890 it had
leaped from those.figures up to S22 90O,.
600. This same rate about represents the
value of the output
The actual number of plants in opera
ton In 1880 is shown to be less than that
of 1873, but this is more than compensat-
ed for by the increased capital EMPLOYED
and by the valuation of the output. The
same article. in referring to the manufa-
tnre of steel, shows that in 1880 there
were but few plants in existence, but in
1880, there were thirty-five plants in ac-
tual operation, the capital employedssag-
gregating Sl3,0O0,0OO
If figures mean anything, the above
showing as set forth prove very conclu-
sively that the South is no longer to he
looked upon merely az a cotton producer,
but that she has entered the contest for
recognition as the producer of that of
which for long time the North has had
monopoly. The prevailing low prices
of iron at the present has caused a cor
responding Stacking up of it's production,
but when Increased demand shall raise
these prices it will be found chat the
South.from the Impetus already received
will find herself occupying still stron-
ger position in the manufacturing world.
