The experience OF Il Hoquiam teamster
last Monday, in an en"eavor to take
load Of lumber down from the school
house hill, emphasized the need for the
improvement OF ID street. 1t is true the
wagon OF the teamster was overloaded
and also encountered by Il cumbersome
top, but had d street been open he could
have descended IN safety. AS it was, in
attempting to 20 down the only possible
way, a roundabout and poor one at that,
he first became stalled at the north end
of Terrace avenue; a passing team helped
oft there, but in turning the corner at
Mrs. McGregor's onto a narrow roadway
one side slid down three foot embank-
ment. An Intellectual attempt was made
to pull out OF the difficulty, but failed and
the wagon turn over, breaking down the
fence. There have been no bids on the
d street improvement because the con-
ira tors say the price set by the council
is too low. There are now several resi-
dences, besides the school house, on the
hill that are decided addition to the
town. and the residents are entitled to a
decent road by which to reach them.
The council should raise the limit OF cost
for the ID street improvement so that the
contractors would bid. Less than ten
per cent. more we have been told would
be sufficient to secure responsible bid.

nearly all have claims, and bring back

The south Bay Bridge.

The estimate CT County Surveyor Jack
commissioners Of the cost oi repairing
the South bay bridge amounted to
~ ,953 90. Upon that report the follow
ing resolution was adopted
Whereas, after duc consideration and
investigation by the board Of county com
missioners in the matter of the repair Of
the South bay bridge, the following con-
clusion has been arrived at: First, that
in view Of the fact that the county has a
large sum OF money invested in roads and
approaches to said bridge, that in case OF
permanent abandonment would become a
total loss to the county Of several thous-
and dollars; second, that said bridge is OF
great convenience and importance to the
people in that part OF the county, and
that they are entitled TO some OF the bcne-
fits to he derived from taxes for road and
bridge purposes therefore, be it resolved
that said South bay bridge be repaired,
and that at the January meeting OF the
board that we advertise for bids for re-
pairing said bridge that in the mean
time III order to protect life and property,
said South bay bridge be and is hereby
condemned and closed to for travel OF any
kind until further notice from this board.
Be it resolved that II. : Jackson, county
surveyor, be ordered to take down the
South bay draw bridge and place it in a
safe place until the bridge is repaired.
This is good deal Of money to spend
upon a bridge so little used and from the
indications the Satsap, Wynooche and
South bay bridges will rival New York s
capitol building as a sink hole.

MR JoHNsoN's BIG E HOUSE.

It's pretty generally known that Will liam c. Johnson has been putting up a new ice house dowp by his pond, but it Is doubtful if it Is realized what an ex- cellent and capacious building it is. It It is 43x4S feet, divided equally into two rooms, and Is 20 feet high. This means that 1t has capacity for some 1000 tons of ice. Leading to 1t from the pond Is a railway for the ice to travel over to reach the house. After short ascent in which horse Is used, as power, the ice slides down grade along the track easily and is guided by a switch to either room of the house as desired. The building and track have just been completed and on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the work of filling the spacious house was com menced. Three teams with blows and some 26 men were at work and put the ice away in rapid manner. The ice, by the way, Is IA inches thick and MT John- son says that he never he used better or clearer ice. He expected to have the house all full by Thursday night.

GDEATH OF MRS WILLIAM EGAN.

Mrs Margaret Egan, wife of William Egan, passed away at her home at Sandy Hook, last Saturday morning, after an illness with pneumonia. She was 32 years old. The blow is a sad one to the sorrowing friends, especially the affiict- ed husband, who not only mourns the loss of wife, but has four motherless children, the oldest 10 years of age. The funeral was largely attended from St Roses church on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Father Fox officiating. The pail bearers were Messrs Thomas Lillis, John Blake, F. c. Bradley, Michael Kane, Timothy McMahon and Michael Foran. The interment was in St Roses cemetery.

It was the old story too much confidence in the animals for when left alone for few minutes tin the road at John R. Peck's place at South Center they started off and did not stop until Martin Shannon ran out and grab bed rein as they were passing E. K. Hawley's store, and brought them around to the post and stopped them. MT Post came up soon afterward and generously rewarded the lad for his deed, and took the team aysay. They had only few bruises.

The Ex- First Selectman Loses
 His Farm.
HE RUNS UP AGAINST A MAN NOT SCARED
 BY BLUFF.

A pretty good story has just "leaked out" about that little plot of ground Ex- First Selectman W. H. Glover bargained for of F. H. Skidmore, down near the fair grounds, but didn't get the lease for. The lease was duly drawn and placed in c. II. Northrop's hands, who held it a week, while MT Glover was looking up the rent money. It wasn't paid promptly enough to suit, so MT Skidmore took the lease himself, having made up hls mind that perhaps after all Farmer Glover wouldn't plant the right kind of seed on the ground to please him or the fair peo- pie, and concluded not to let him have it. MT Glover got wind of what was in the air and took some of Uncle Sam's bills and went over and rendered them to MT Skidmore for the rent. MT Skidmore promptly refused and then MT Glover got gold and took a witness along. But Mir Skidmore didn't scare worth cent, even afterward when MT Glover's attorney went over and hung the law over Mir Skidmore's head. He calmly replied, ac cording to his own statement "Y ou can sue me as soon as you like, but you can never have that land now" No suit has been brought up to date, and probably it Is just as well that Mir Glover did not get this land for there is plenty of good farming land" elsewhere, and it is quite likely the Fair company will lease the land in question now
