Some OF our citizens have been
frightened by false statements that
cement walks would cost 900 per
lot. Contractors will agree to lay
these walks for Is to Is cents a
square foot. The walks would be
tlve feet wide and so feet In length
for an ordinary lot. That Is $50 square
feet at, we will say 20 cents, liberal
price, and 1t would amount to $50.
Varnam proposes that the city be
divided Into improvement districts
and the walks laid where n majority
Of the people favor them. The cost
would be divided into a number of
annual payments running over a per
Tod OF ten years making them so light
that any one could meet the obligation
with ease. A cement walk Is per-
manent Improvement; while the wood
on walks advocated by Scallon's sup.
porters will last six to seven years.
With fines from gambling Scallon
ought to do better than this.

did not disturb themselves over the ques-
ton where the money was to come from
The money was asked for by depart
mental heads and 1t was appropriated d
without further ado. There is no chance
however, that the appropria tons will be
made good in actual cash, for several
months to come. Mayor Mcclellan and
Controller Metz have resolved that there
shall not be another sale of corporate
stock until next spring and that the S.
100000 remaining from the last bond sale
shall be kept intact. as far as possible,

lieved at the maritime exchange Since
the Sewall sailed away from Philadelphia.
April 8. bound for Seattle, via stormy
Cape Horn, not word has been heard
from her until yesterday. when a letter
was received at the maritime exchange
which seems to indicate that one of the
biggest square-rigged ships In the mer-
chant marine has foundered. The letter
was from the straits under date of August
81. 1t stated that on August % the sail
ing steamer Fridjof arrived, and reported
that while cruising near the southea 81
headland of Noir Island. half way between
Cape Pillar and Cape Horn, she sighted
a derelict which is believed to be the
Sewall.
The derelict was a four-masted. square
rigged ship. Only the topmasts were
above the water, and the royals We're set
The Fridtjof cruised about the neighbor-
hood in the hope of getting some trace
of the crew, as it was evident the wreck
was recent. On the shore of Nor Island
they found indications that they had
landed. but, though searching parties
were sent out, nothing further was dis
covered. The skipper of the Fridtiof
feared to allow his men to leave the coast
and search the interior owing to the pres
ence of hostile savages
In the belief that the wreck is that
of the Arthur Sewall divers have been
dispa tched to Noir Island to make an
examination of the ship. i lie SeWall

started for San Francisco. Nothing was
heard from her for months until a few
days ago she was reported at Melbourne
Australia. She ran into contrary winds
and was forced to make the trip by way
of Cape of Good Hope instead of around
Cape Horn. The Shenandoah also is
owned by Sewal & Co.
The Atlas. 3,OO0-ton sailer. owned by
the Standard Oil Company, left Baltimore

to be compelled to put back again to Rio

terrific storm. She is still at the Bra
