PAVING REPRESENTATIVES,.
Trying to Get Contracts for Improv-
 ing City's Streets.

Representatives of the different firms that deal in permanent pave ment material are very much in evil dence just now and they will be like ly to keep coming and going until final action has been taken regarding the kind of material to be used here this year. The talk of paving ten or twelve miles of streets. which has taken place at meetings of the bond issue commissions, has also had some thing to do in bringing the agents in, but that is something that will not be available until next year. and probably there will not be much in 1t even then The feeble efforts of the best material to successfully cope with the freshet that rushed through the streets Tuesday has set every body talking about this question and many are asking what does this per- manent pavement amount to anyway. when Nature gets blood;hfrsty and goes on a rampage. The advocates of bitulithic, which makes nice street, but after all Is not much superior to a first class macadam road. claim that 1t was not the water that ripped up the bitulithic on North Willow street but a bolt of lightning and in proof of this statement they point. to rifts here and there which they claim could possibly have been made by wa- ter. Probably they are right. but even so what happened on that evening shows that there is no such thing as permanent pavement and that no matter what people say about bricks nothing has yet been found that comes any where like equaling 1t for street purposes.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Inspector kss|sy VIII Miks IlVss-
 dgadon Of Slaughter Houses.

There was not much business tram sactes at the meeting of the board of health last evening. A communi- cation was received from the Bene- dict & Burnham Manufacturing com pany in regard to the pool of water near their plant which is in an un- sanitary condition. The company thinks the city should make an ap- propriation to straignten the course of the river at the point mentioned and also change the location of the Liberty street bridge to correspond with the other change.
 Dr Kilmartin thought the sugges- tion of the company good one and advised the members to submit the matter to the board ofe public works.
 Milk and Food Inspector Keeley was instructed to make special in- vestigation of the slaughter houses in the city and to submit a written report to the health body at some future date. The members are be- coming little suspicious about some of the sausage factories in the city, consequently the special investiga- tion. The bill of Charles Thatcher & Co for 3900 for plumbing done in the crematory at Waterville was ordered paid.
 Mayor Thoms was anxious as to how the work was progressing on the crematory and he was informed that 1t would be ready in about three weeks time when the task of erect ing the stack will nave been finished. Dr Bland, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to see P. H. Carroll and talk 1t over with him in regar,l to what he should give the city for having the crematory out of condi- tion, reported that although the com mittee has not yet seen MT Carroll 1t expects to in short time. He said in his opinion it was best to wait to see what the actual damage to the crematory was.

BURNS COMES
AFTER PUTER
Ready to Take Fugitive
Who Escaped Him
to Oregon.

s. A. D. Puter, convicted of tim
ber land fraud, will be taken before
United States Commissioner Heacoclz
mary to his extradition to Oregon for
trial on an Indictment found against
him and others by the United States
Grand Jury. A warrant for Puter's
arrest was issued yesterday on COM
plant sworn to by William J. Burns,
United States Secret Service Agent,
who has made himself famous for
bringing to light extensive timber land
frauds on the Pacific Coast, and for
working up successful eases against
them. Puter was arrested in Oak
land few days ago by Secret Service
men who had been put on the trail
by Burns.
The defendant was indicted with
Franklin Pierce Mayes, Horace @. Me-
Kinley, Marie L. Ware. Emma l..
Watson. D.. w. Tarpley, Robert Simp-
son, John Doe and Richard Roe for
having on December "a, 1901, con-
spired to defraud the United States
out of a portion of its public lands
by fraudulently acquiring lands in
township "a south, range l east,
Willamette meridian, Oregon. Puter
was convicted upon one of several in
dictments and escaped on January 81
of this year. Burns at once went up
on the trail and traced the fugitive to
Boston, where he captured him in a
postoffice station on March 26. As
Burns was taking him TO police sta
ton, Puter suddenly drew a revolver
from his breast and covered Burns
with it, declaring at the same time
that he would blow out the officers
brains if he attempted to lay hands
h IN 1a4a NV
Burns rushed in upon him and seized
the revolver, at the same time back
ing the desperate man against the
wall of a restaurant but Puter, who is
q man of great strength and agility,
wrenched himself loose and covered
the officer with this weapon until
Puter jumped behind woman who
was passing and made his escape
down an alley.
This episode put the detective upon
his mettle, and he went hot footed
upon the chase. He next located the
fugitive in New York and finally in
Oakland. Burns had sent two of his
own men ahead of him to Oakland
and they shadowed him night and
day, for the purpose of having him
on tap when Burns should arrive, but
Puter having purchased ticket for
China, Burns men arrested him be-
fore he could get away.
Marie ware, at the time or her in
dictment, was a United States COM
missioner. She afterward married
Horace G. Mckinley, another defend
ant, who escaped to China on the
same steamer with Little Egypt, a
notorious muscle dancer. She was ac-
quilted on the trial and came to Oak
land, where she and Puter had sew
eral meetings.
Agent Burns has been highly COM
mended by Secretary Hitchcock for his
bravery and his faithfulness in the
pursuit of the fugitive and the pros
ecution of all the parties concerned
in the frauds.

THESE MEN STOPPED THE
GREAT FIRE IN MISSION
Patrick Heran Writes to The Call About
Frank Shadd and Other Obscure
Fire Heroes

The following letter has been received
by The Call:
II was present at the fire on Dolores
street which was menacing what remained
of the Mission on the goth of April. A
great number of people worked well, but
specially TO be mentioned is Frank Shadd,
41-2 Allemany street. 1t was he that
led the fighters. BY tearing down build
ings on the east side of Dolores, and then
working on the west side with wet sacks
and blankets, the fire was prevented from
leaping the street.
Mike McGranaghan Of 1861 Eighteenth
street next deserves credit. He stood at
his post in the smothering smoke that
was issuing from the base of the spire of
the Swedish Church at the corner of Fiji
