A copy of the Klondike Nugget of

Popular Pat Calvin arrived home

Accompanying him were Joe Brand and

Harry Smith, of the Klondike hotel. He
confirms the report that Selwin creek
has proven disappointment, and says
that of 200 men who were there this
winter not more than dozen will re-
main there after the arrival of spring.
Mr.. Duvall, on discovery, thinks his
prospects justify a continuance of OPP

to hold the fort at Klein gulch, but Mr..
Ennis knows of no others who will! stay
on the creek. He reports that Thistle

A SOUTH SIDE KICK.
8 A Vigorous Objection to the Condition of
a84 the Streets.

4g the Streets.
Great Falls. April 24.-The residents of
the south side of the city. and numerical
~, at least they are as many as those on
the north side, are Directing to the condi-
ton of the streets, alleys and avenues of
that part of the city. They claim that
they pay their proportion of the taxes
and are accordingly entitled to as much
consideration as the citizens of more IA
vored portions of the town: that while
drainage matters are promptly attended
to when they occur on the north side,
they are given little or no attention when
complaint comes from the country lying
south of Central avenue. They say that
they have been flooded with surface wa
ter for the last two or three months, and
this condition is one which has continued
for SO many years that they will stand it
no longer. and if it is necessary to bring
suit against the city in order to induce the
council and the engineering department
to do their duty they will bring suit. The
matter is being agitated and some action
is liable to take that form unless antici-
pated in the course of the week by the
council.
The facts have already Keen stated at
various times in this column. The south
side receives all of the surface drainage
of the city, the formation of the country
being such that all water flows from as
far north and east as the mill of the
Royal Milling company. In order to find
an outlet it must flow in southwesterly
direction to Fourth avenue south; thence
along that avenue to Third street, where
1t slowly escapes through the Third
street sewer. In other wards it must
traverse some 40 blocks before it finds es-
cape, and then has to go IA or 10 blocks
more.
About seven years ago a city engineer
conceived the idea of cutting Fourth ave-
nue. south very deep, and the idea was
good. 1t made a deep water channel of
that avenue, navigable by boats of light
draught. But the people who own prop
erty along that avenue seem to have an
objection to living like Venetians, partic-
uarly when the water becomes stale
Then there are numerous lakes scattered
all over the south side and in the present
warm weather the voice of the frog is
loud in that land. South side people OBJ
ject very strenuously to water in that
form. They have no taste for aquarelles
and have not cultivated a fondness for
aquatic sports in their own cellars. They
say that they have repeatedly made sug
gestions of remedies to the city council
and they have all been lost in the COM
mittee room. Now they are determined
to find out whether or not they have a
recourse. They will ask the council once
more to give them less of the blooming
Venice and more of the high, dry elm
ate of which Montanans boast, and then
they will appeal to the courts.
1t seems that there is but one remedy
for the evil, and that an extension of
the Sixth street sewer to point where it
would intercept the flood and relieve the
Third street sewer of a part of the duty
which is evidently too much for it.

Real Estate Lively - Considerable Build
ing Is Planned.
Great Falls, April 24.-Lewistown is one
of the places in Northern Montana which
appears to be in a flourishing condition.
Just at the present time there seems to
be a lively movement in real estate there
and property is changing hands rapidly
for an inland town. Among the building
enterprises spoken Of it is reported that
an Episcopalian church will be erected
during the summer. The ladies of the
guild have been working hard for sew
eral years and have accumulated fund
sufficient to authorize starting upon the
building at least. 1t will occupy the lot
near the Hopkins residence, and will be
a stone building. 26X40 feet. and capable
Of enlargement in the future. The con-
tract has been awarded to Charles Leh-
man and the building will be hurried to
completion.
Among the transfers of real estate dur
ing the past week was the sale of the
Hanson residence on Janeaux street, to
George M. Stone and DR.. w. A Long
The price was $1,000. Last fall DR.. Han
son sold his Main street property to H.
H. Hodgson at a good price, and this last
sale closes out his Lewistown holdings
and hereafter he will reside in Los An
geles, Cal. His wife will leave Lewis
town this week to join him there.
The Vrooman residence was this week
sold to ]. l.. Stuart for $l050 and this
price is considered a very encouraging one
to realty owners here. Another deal was
the transfer of the ranch of II. d. Wit
mer, on Upper Beaver creek. to H. N.
Rogers. a late arrival from Iowa. The
consideration was $3.50.

in Issuing New Orders.
A copy of the report Of the board OF
enquiry that was convened by General
shafter. at san Francisco, TO enquire into
the conditions on the transport Tarta, on
the voyage from Manila with discharged
regular troops and the Twentieth Kansas
Volunteers. has been forwarded to General
OTIS with certain recommendations made
by the Secretary Of War.
The report is accompanied by the re-
Communications of Col. Charles Green
leaf, chief medical officer at San Fran
cisco, since ordered 10 Manila, and Major
General Shafter regarding the future load
ing of transports at Manila and the dis
charge OF soldiers there. 1t has been the
practice heretofore TO discharge soldiers
in Manila, paying them there, and allow
ing them free transportation to the United
States on the Government transports. This
has resulted in several complaints 10 the
Secretary OF War about the soldiers land
ing in this country without means to get
TO their homes.
In transmitting the report to General
Otis, il is suggested to him that hereafter
no more soldiers be discharged in Manila,
but when their service expires, they be
sent TO San Francisco, where they will be
given their discharge papers and pay.
Regarding the loading of sick on the
regular transports, it has been suggested
TO General Otis that in the future sick
soldiers be loaded only on vessels having
special provisions for their care. In the
case Of the Tartar the board found that
the vessel was properly equipped for TWEEN
ty-six emergency sick cases, but the sur
geon Of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment,
knowing this. decided to place on board his
rnilre sick OF two hundred men, many OF
whom should have been left in the hos
