The alarm of fire about $ 80 Yesterday
evening, during a very heavy rain, was
caused by the burning of an isolated
shantv near the Anderson & Middleton
mi'l. When the alarm rnng the word
was passed around that the mill was
ahre, and the firemen ran from their
work and places # business in the ut
most haste, pulling the apparatus tn, ough
the drenching rain and through puddles
OF water, only to find, on arriving at the
scene, that the heavy rain had been taken
advantage OF by the company to purpose
ly destroy the unsightly shanty. We
draw the mantle OF charity over the re-
marks of the firemen on their return and
sincerely trust the recording angel will
consider the extenuating circumstances
when docketing the matter.
Captain Harry Taylor, in his report to
the department for April states that the
work at Gray's harbor was somewhat de-
layed, because of bad weather and breaks
in the machinery. The ;etty trestle was
advanced 480 feet, and the mattress
work was carried on rather further, the
center mattress being laid 395 feet and
the side mattress 672 feet. Eleven thou
sand, one hundred and thirty.nine tons
Of stone we're placed in this jetty, and
the enrolment completed for distance
of 1852 feet outside of the highwater line
and raised to the highwater line 1868 feet
additional. During May, the jetty tres
tie will be advanced IA far as possible.
probably 500 feet, and closely followed
up withe mattress and rock work. There
is $550,90O available to carry on this
work.
A misinterpretation Of an explanatory
note in the pamphlet OF school laws
created quite little stir among those in
terested in the coming school election,
yesterday. A casual reading of the note
is calculated to give the impression that
the new law, which exempts cities OF less
than 10000 from the necessity OF regis
tration, would not go into effect until
June IL, an impression not borne out by
close examination Of the law. II regis
try was required, yesterday would have
been tho last day in which registration
could have been made. so hand bills
were distributed. at the suggestion OF the
county superintendent, announcing that
voters must register before s O'Clock pm.
and city clerk Trethrake did land office
business in the registration line, about
1875 men and women having registered
during the day. AS, under the new law,
registration is not required, those who
failed to register will not lose the right
to vote at the school election on June 10,
and the rush to register was needless.
