puzzling the residents of the vicinity.
East of the park there is a wash or
draw which adjacent property holders
have lately spent $500 to fill up and
grade. Recently fifteen or twenty men
and teams in the pay of Huntington
attacked this draw, tore up and re-
moved the fill and laid out an eighty
foot avenue over it, extending south
from California street and following
the draw clear down to the big reser-
voir of the Country club. On the ridge
northeast of this work the same force
of men is now constructing a big reser-
voir, the exact purpose of which is not
known. These extensive operations are
believed to indicate the early extension
of one of the Huntington electric lines
through this section and are naturally
causing much comment among those
likely TO be affected by the rise of
property values such an extension
would cause.
Closed "Blind Pig"
Chief of Police Pinkham placed an
other catch to his credit late this after
noon in the closing up of a "blind
pig" which seems to have been run
ming for some time right in the bust
ness center of the city. For some
time past the chief has had the lodg-
ing house run by Mrs. w. j. Whips
at 80 North Fair Oaks avenue under
surveillance, and asserts that the wo-
man has been secretly selling liquor
to young men. At 4 p. m. he arrested
the woman and searched the place,
finding quite a store of beer. Mrs.
Whips was taken before Police Judge
Wood and when confronted by the tes-
timony against her broke down and
entered a plea of guilty. She was
ordered to pay fine of 500, which
she Immediately did and was released.
Mrs. Whips is married. but her hus
band is an invalid and the lodging
rooms located over the drug store of
c. H. Ward are under her sole con-
troll.
Committee Will Act
A meeting of the board of trade
committee ON the proposed convention
hall was held at 4;30 p. m. in the office
of the chairman C. d. Daggett, for
the purpose OF considering what steps
shall be taken to accomplish the work
assigned them. Those present We're

A general discussion of the conVen-
ton hall question showed that the
is still a unit in it's de-
termination to push the scheme to
successful termination. A committee
was appointed to confer with Admin
istrator Winch to learn what steps
must be taken to conclude the pur-
chase Of the desired portion of the
Carmeita property, and another COM
mittee TO ascertain the attitude of the
public generally as to locating the
hall upon this property. A
public pleasure park and a great con-
vention hall have long been pet pro-
iects of the Crown City,. and the de-
cision of the courts appears to have
made their realization again possible. |
