WILL Be WELCOME NEWS
Steps Taken Towards Filling Up
Missoula Gulch.
HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON
The Sewer Committee and the City En-
gineer Look over the Ground-The
Matter viii Probably Pass
the Council.

1t will be welcome news to the peo-
pie living in the ~neighborhood of Mis-
soula gulch hat steps have again been
taken toward filling up the gulch and
spanning it with a stone culvert. The
sewer committee, consisting of Alder
men Noyes. Ferns and Bryant, visit
ed the gulch yesterday in company
with City Engineer Bickenbaugh and
decided on this improvement.
Early in the year the Missoula gulch
people petitioned for this improvement
and it was decided on at one time ms
subsequently knocked out by the coun-
Gil. Another petition was recently
drawn up and presented to the coun-
ell. which referred the matter to the
sewer committee. The committed be-
ing favorable. the matter is likely to
go through unless unexpected opposi-
ton shall arise in the council at to-
morrow nights meeting.
Alderman Bryant seemed more favor
able to dividing up the work and only
filling one block this summer. Mr..
Bickenbaugh expressed the view that
if the city goes into the matter at all
il should make a good job of 1T, and
the committee finally decided to I'LL
NIit SeANA
street.
The estimated cost of the culvert will
be 81, 900 to s., 900, which will be borne
by the city. There will be no cost of
filling. for all the dirt from excavating
cellars n grading streets can be
dumped into the gulch, which will be
an advantage to all contractors, as
there is at present M place in the city
where surplus dirt can be dumped. The
paving men are required under their
contract to dump the dirt from the
streets to be paved in this gulch.
hi committee also yesterday decid-
ed to grant the petition of the ID. j.
Hennessy Mercantile company for a
storm culvert on Granite street from
the new Hennessy building to the Old
gulch culvert. The culvert will
be run from the rear of the Hennessy
building to connect with the Old Town
gulch sewer and a catch basin will be
placed at Grant, and Wyoming street.
The city engineer called attention 10
the fact that many catch pans are en-
tirely worn out and many are gone. 1t
was decided to advertise for so new
catch pans.
Favorable action vas taken in re-
gard to the construction of a sewer
East Galena street to accommodate
the new school building, as requested
by the school trustees. The sewer will
run along the south side of East Ga
lena street from Oklahoma avenu TO
Gaylord street. There is considerable
opposition to this sewer among resi-
dents along the line of the proposed
and a strong fight against
it is expected at tomorrow nights
council meeting. Many of the resi-
Tents think that with grading, sewers,
connections, etc, they are being too
heavily taxed ALL at one time, and they
want the building of the sewer put off
until some other year.

THREE BURNED OUT.

A fuse burned out on electric car
No. 80 yesterday afternoon just as it
was about to cross the steam rail-
way tracks at Pidgeons crossing. The
o'clock train whistled as it came over
the red bridge, and this caused many
of the passengers to jump from the
electric car. Had the car gone a few
feet further when the fuse burned out
it is probable there would have been
a loss of life. AS it was some of the
passengers in scrambling out fell over
a ladder which was attached to the
side of the car. However, no one was
injured, although every one received
a thorough soaring.

AN ICE BICYCLE.
It is the Invention of Carbondale
Bow,

James Walsh, a young man of the
South Side has secured a patent on
what promises to he a money making
invention for it's owner. Mr. Walsh has
been working during the summer COM
pleting plans for an ice bicycle, model
of which is now undergoing construc-
tion at b. r. Wickwires bicycle repair
shop on Seventh avenue.
The idea is different from anything
heretofore placed on the market in its
line and differs greatly from the run
ner attachment which may be placed
on an ordinary bicycle. 1t has two run
ners and is propelled by small ratchet
Wheel which may be lowered or raised
at the will of the rider. Mr.. Walsh has
hit upon the proper plan and will no
doubt net a neat sum from his inven-
ton.
