it fell to the lot Of Claude to make

as he reached the roof of the massive
building again and put his feet down
hard to see if it was firm. 81 had no
trouble at all in climbing, in spite Of

with smile, bringing color back to

pertinent with Interest.

With the acquisition Of steam road
roller by the fifth ward, new era in
the method Of caring for the city
streets will be inaugurated and the fifth
ward will set the pace Aldermen q.
B. Holmes and Wendell Hertig have
some progressive ideas with regard to
the maintenance Of streets and in the
wards new street commissioner, John
Fogarty, they believe they have an Of
fetal who will carry them out to the
letter. 49,
The first important reform will be the
discontinuance Of the use of water for
of an oil solution. The experiments
made by the South Park commission of
Chicago have shown that oil can be used
on the streets without creating the OBJ
jectionable features often complained
Of. The use Of oil prevents dust in
dry weather and slush in wet weather
and gives a hard, b,fS springy surface,
which is very favorable to ordinary
traffic. The expense is no greater than
that Of sprink1ing with water and the
advantage is that the work is thoroly
done. The South Park commission uses
patent compound which unites oil and
water the proportion Of the oil being
five to ninety-fve parts Of water.
To Use Best Materials.
The building and maintenance Of the
streets will be conducted along scien-
tiic lines. The surface will be proper
ly crowned and only tirst-class gravel
will be used. If the best cannot be
obtained none will be used, as the alder
men agree that the use Of inferior ma
terial is mere waste of money. 1t
will be necessary to go outside of the
ward for gravel, but this will make no
difference for good road, even tho the
initial cost may be little high, is the
cheapest in the long run. This is the
experience of authorities on road build.

MONROE HAD TROUBLE
 IN NEW YORK.
Man Walked Off With Rampapter'S Travelling Bag, but 1t Was
 Recovered.

The New York Press of January 9 contained the following story of an ex- perience that befell former Rampant mining man;
 "When I told 'em I just had to get back to Gods own country said Albert II. Monroe, of Alaska, to Magistrate Breen in the Yorkville court yesterday, ''the people in Rampant on the Yukon told me l needn't carry a gun, because I'd see a couple of policemen in every block in New York city. Huhw And he sniffed scorniully. "Why, l followed and followed the fellow that d taken my grip, and l never saw policeman till l sent out for one after I'd collared the thief in saloon.'
 Monroe, who is a mine owner, was complainant against man who said he was John Martin, of Peekskll. Monroe got into the Grand Central Station at ll.45 P. m. on Tuesday, went into the big waiting room and set down his tel escope valise and smaller bag contain ing camera, plates, a revolver and gold nuggets.

To Change Style
 of the Army Pistol

The war department has decided to go back to the heavy caliber for army re- volyers, and to adopt cartridge pro- posed by the ordnance bureau carrying a bullet of .45 caliber to replace the .3S caliber now in use. The reason for the change is that it is desired to have bullet with greater stopping power than that now in use. Opportunity is also given for d decided innovation in the type of the revolver.
 The ordnance bureau has invited man. ufacturers of pistols to enter into competition and to submit types of revolvers either of the automatic kind or along the lines of those now used by the army. All weapons submitted, however, must be made for the use of the .45 caliber cartridge which has been adopt ed. The competition will take place some months hence.
