It Made a Difference.

A gentleman who resides in Douglas, and who was one of the excursionists to visit White Horse on Victoria Day, dropped into one of the shops to pur- chase pipe, some of which were on display in the window. The young lady in charge was not the regular attendant and when asked the price of certain pipe, first examined the attached tag and then carefully referred to piece of paper, on which was the key to the cost mark. Finally, having satisfied herself as to the value of the pipe, she turned to the prospective buyer and asked, "Are you a resident here, or a tourist?" In true yankee style, the Douglasite came back with the question "What difference does that make?" "Oh," said the girl, "they told me to charge tourists little more"

Exposure

To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden chonges of tenn perature, scanty clothing, undue ex- posture of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the best cure.

Our Front Yard.

Our business men and property own CTS along Front street are almost unan- imous in the opinion that the mud holes and gaps in that thoroughfare should be covered by planking, and it is probable that a petition will be pre- sented to the council, at an early date, to order the work done. This street, the most important one in the city, has long been an eye sore, and we are will ing to hazard the opinion that fit is once planked, none will ever regret the cost.

The Pipe Line Goes.

The city council again plunged into the discussion of the proposed pipe line to Treadwell, last Monday evening. The discussion was precipitated by the report of the committee on Fire and Water Supply. This committee was f. nally authorized to ascertain just the amount of pipe and other supplies needed and place an order for the same. The plan as it now stands is to lay a line of inch iron pipe from the 300 mill at Treadwell, to the corner of Sec ond and D streets in Douglas. This pipe is to be placed on gradual in- cline, and, with the aid of drains or openings, to be kept free from water. Then, in case of fire in any part of Douglas, that cannot be controlled or reached by the city water works, the water is to be turned on from Tread well, giving the use of the immense pressure in that system, which stands normally at about 20 pounds.
 The fact that the entire south part of the city, including all that portion lying between the saw mill and the old Bears Nest mill, has been without any fire protection in the past, is one of the things that has led the council to take this step. In addition to thls is the as- surance that in case of big fire in the business portion of the city, the pro posed pipe line will furnish an unfail ing supply of water at high pressure.
 Tue scheme was suggested, and made possible by the magnanimoas offer of Supt. Macdonald, of the Treadwell, to allow the connection to be made and to furnish the water in the case of the ex- treme necessity, as mentioned above.
 The matter has not yet been settled as to whether the pipe will be laid on the surface, depending entirely upon perfect drainage to keep it clear of ice during cold weather, or, by burying it deep in the ground, below the possibil- ity of frost, make it doubly secure.
 The question of the improvement of the thoroughfare between Douglas and Treadwell, was also under discussion. This includes the laying of good plank road along the line of the old railway as far as the town limits on the south, where it would be taken up by the city of Treadwell and continued as far as the Trsadwell store. 1t is very probe- ble that this will be done, but action is deferred pending the final decision as to the manner of laying the pipe line.
