SUFFERING man DOES HIS
DUTY AND DROPS DEAD

When Sullivan went to work
Sunday morning, he walked in the
sunlight, trying to rid himself of a
paralyzing chill. Bright, eager
faces of passersby went by him as
in Il dream. The man he relieved
at the station greeted him with a
CHEEKY Hello" He tried to an
swer, but his voice was faint. Sui
livan's companion looked queerly
at him and Sullivan looked him
straight in the eye. He could not
see the man clearly, but he was
curious to know how a fellow being
looked to dying man.
All that day Sullivan stood out
side his cabin in the sunshine,
watching the crossing, as the dead
ly chill crept up toward his heart,
dying man.
Although the feeling was terrify-
ing, Sullivan remained on duty un.

CITY WATER TO
HOME OWNERS

Councilman Fred Baldwin in the
city council last night opposed ex'
tension of city water mains, re-
CARELESS of whether the proposed
extension paid the required IL per
cent revenue on the investment or
not. The objection came up over
a proposed extension on Sixteenth
avenue, estimated to cost $451, on
which IL per cent would mean an
earning of $3.50. Mr.. Baldwin said
the city now owed 100000 in out
standing warrants for water extern
sions, having gone $4,000 in the
hoe this year alone for this class
of improvement.
City Commissioner O'Brien ex-
planned that the extension asked
for was to connect up two dead
ends"
Councilman Lambert, recalling
the fact that Mr.. Baldwin had a
few minutes before voted for a
water main extension in his ward
prayed for by the park board, said
he believed in giving the home
owners water first and the parks
afterward. On his motion, the Six
teenth avenue extension was grant.

OLOLANOMARKS
DOOMED

What are said by City Forester ].
Sempell to be the only shade trees
on the whole length of Riverside
avenue are doomed. There are but
two trees on the avenue, and they
are an elm and box elder located
near the Olympia hotel. 80 River
side. David Dodge, proprietor of
the Olympia, and nine other bust
ness men near him, complained to
the board of public works that
these trees obscured their view up
Riverside avenue, and asked that
they be removed.
The eptition went to the city
council which referred 1t to the
park board, where 1t was turned
over to the city forester for his
opinion. He pronounced the elm a
very poor specimen and suitable
only for firewood. With the elm
gone, the forester thought the box
elder would look too lonely, so he
recommended that it go, too. The
recommendation OF the forester has
been concurred in by the city coun-
Gil, and the two lone shade trees,
that have been landmarks of their
neighborhood for years, will soon
give way to the onward march of
progress.

While making an inspection trip

observed that Nave, who was work

that he would even the score. He
