The Committee Thought he Improve

That the Present Condition

The sewer committee didn't take
worth a cent yesterday to the petition Of
the Missoula gulch people for the cov-
vert from Quartz street down 10 Park

of about all the residents In the vicinity
of the gulch. The petition was as fol-
lows:

in the vicinity of Missoula gulch, re-
spectively petition your honorable body
to have constructed as soon as prac-
ticable a culvert joining those now I'M
der the several streets named.
"Missoula gulch in this vicinity Is in
a very unsanitary condition, caused by
accumulation of refuse of all descrip-
lions and wash from above. We think
its condition would be improved in this
respect by the building of said culvert."
There seemed to De no one in the
committee to say a good word for this
proposed improvement. Several of the
aldermen declared that such an i'm
provement would be very costly and
would all have to be paid out of the gen.
eral fun and that 1t is unnecessary

of water, the armorsd cruiser Maria

abandoned by her crew only to go

that large steamship, with two fun
nels, and resembling war vessel, had
been seen ashore on Cat island. The
wind, according to Commander Harris,
was blowing from the northeast when
the Maria Teresa was abandoned. and
the current was setting to the west

have driven the Maria Teresa, Il she
remained ailoat, toward Cat island,
from the place where she was aband

is significant in this connection, that
