Commander Of the Department of the Column

has consented to impart his Information to the
General. and left on this mornings train for
Vancouver. w. 5. Gardiner, one OF the last
miners to come out over Dalton trail, arriving
in Seattle yesterday, was also requested to VISIT
the General on the same mission. He accom-
panied Dalton this morning.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-J. w. Boyle, tho pro-
moter OF the snow locomotive as a means of
opening up u route to the Alaska gold fields,
has a new proposition. which he explained yes
torday to Gen. Nelson A. Miles at the War De-
partment. Mr.. Boyle proposes that the Gov
eminent purchase his locomotive outfit. and
that he himself purchase sixty tons OF provis-
ions TO BIO carried to the minors. He would
place the expedition In charge of the Of
ftccrs OF the Government. thus insuring a
satisfactory conduct of tho enterprise. The
provisions, he says. would DO sold wherever
miners are able 10 buy, at priccs in the ratio OF
one to two In summer and winter respectively.
Mr.. Boyle asks on the part of tho Government
that no DO reimbursed after the enterprise shall
have been consummated for the money no
spent for provisions, with q nominal profit
added to pay him for his trouble. He insists
that his scheme Is not a oney.making ono and
promises to enter into such y contract with tho
Government as viii preclude tho idcn OF great

A REAL BENEFIT
Could Be Derived by Rolling the On
paved Streets.

A use has been found for Jumbo"
who spends most of his time in a shed
at the city prison. Poor old Jumbo"
was bought by the city to roll the streets
in an idle moment when the council had
more money at its disposal than it knew
what to do with and every successive
council has vainly tried to get rid of the
big steam street roller
The first real service the roller has
done for some time was when it was used
in the construction of the state house
walks last fall but Councilman Nettels
thinks that the roller can be used to i'm
prove the dirt streets after a wet spell,
such we have had this spring. The
streets have been very rough and the plan
is to run the heavy five ton rolled over
them and thus level them and make
travelling more paSible.
The question of rolling the streets may
be brought up at the next meeting of the
council.
This suggestion is one that should be
followed. If the unpaved streets were
kept thoroughly rolled, it would take a
very heavy rain to cut them up into ruts,
while the rolling would be of inestimable
benefit to the thousands of bicycliStS as
well as those who drive.

OUGHT THERE BE A SEWER
North Topeka Not Certain That She
Wants to Pay for Tt.

The people of the First ward are await
Ing the decision of the council concerning
the sewer in that ward. For years the
people of North Topeka have done with
out a sewer and they have put up with
the Disadvantages resulting without a
great deal of complaint.
Several years ago the representatives of
that ward thought out a scheme for
draining the ward and the wonderful
: ditch which has become historic as
Gums Canal was constructed by the
Lefty It took its name from it's originator,
i,E. N. Gum, who was then one of the
First ward representatives. The ditch
was never a success. 1t did not drain the
ward and the people failed to secure the
relief hoped for.
During the last year as result of the
agitation of the sewer question the state
board of health was requested to investi-
gate the needs of the ward from SAM
tary standpoint and the report of the
board received at the last meeting of the
North Topeka to empty in the Kansas
rived east of the city.
Now the matter rests with the council
Acting upon the report of the board of
health the council may decide that the
sanitary situation in the First ward is
such that a sewer is required. Then there
will be nothing left but for the city to
build the sewer.
There is much opposition to the sewer
because of the necessary tax and there
will be a pretty fight over the proposition
when the question comes up in the coun-
Gil.
