Main street, between Maple and
Walnut, two blocks, has been re-
lieved of it's surface loose dirt, and
| this also will show an absence of
mud on the street in a wet time. A
road scraper was run over the track
Monday, moving the loose dirt to
the cutters whence it was shoveled
| into wagons and hauled off. This
dirt was mostly brought from the
country on the felloes of wagon
wheels. The road bed is largely of
crushed rock placed here five or six
years ago. A heavy rain Monday
night cleaned off much of the dirt
left by the scraper.
The city park looks very fine this
spring. The refuse of dead leaves
and fallen branches which had &C
cumulated on the ground through
the winter was removed early from
the landscape SO that the grass has
been free to make it's exit into the
open, enticed by alternating rain
and sunshine. The ground in the
grove has become fairly well sodded
and the grass makes pretty green
carpet upon the landscape The
leaves are rapidly expanding on the
oaks, poplars and passwords show
ing more advanced development,
and the aspect is refreshingly beau
tiful. The park is in good shape.
It has been intimated that the fish
wardens are nosing about for those
rumored to have caught more than
| ten pounds of trout the first day OF
May. If these officials had been on
official and efficient duty on that
date they might have accomplished
some good as contemplated by the
law makers. The most of those
able to catch more than the legal
amount were the expert sportsmen
who live out of the state. These
all took their catches home. And
we don't suppose that anybody
weighed his fish until he caught
them, and not having a set of scales
along he couldn't weigh them until
he got home, and not finding any
scales at home he didn't weigh
them at all, and he might guess
that his catch of $50 lacked the frac.
ton of an ounce of weighing ten
pounds and it will take pretty tall
game warden 10 prove to the con-
trary.
