CITY STOPS
SIDEWALKS

The grading of 18th Ave, pre-
paratory to putting down The
cement walks, came to an alb.
rupt stop Saturday when Brysor
& Hamilton, the contractors,
gathered up their scrapes and
took their men and horses off the
LOB.
Whether to make the grading of
a temporary or of a "perma-
nent' character, and some dis
pute with property owners as to
location Of engineers lines,
caused the city to suspend opera
tons. There is also a question
as to whether any of the money
voted for the sidewalks may be
used for grading the street
itself.
This question was submitted
to three law firms here, who
have advised the commissioners
that the bond issue was voted for
sidewalks and could not lawfully
be used to grade streets.
Some citizens advocate what
they call a permanent i'm
provement in grading, that is,
making the street as nearly
level as possible and fixing the
grade for all time to come.
Others advocate less grading
and more cement, ::and say that to
try and make all the streets
nearly level would cost an abso-
lutely prohibitive sum of money.
The slight confusion arising
from the newly surveyed lines
conflicting with the. old estab-
lished lines arose this way:
AS originally surveyed, the
Main street blocks were 18 rods,
or 297 feet. The starting point
froffPthe front and centre Of
the old ocourt house. Later,
however,the blocks seem to have
been measured, Incorrectly. as
300 feet, thus encroaching three
feet on the city streets.

All Europe, kings and commoners
alike, received Theodore as the most
distinguished of living Americans
He was entertained by royalty and
nobility everywhere he went, and al
ways the people greeted him with
vociferous applause. What possibly
pleased the former president more
than all this was the fact that liter
airy and scientific circles received him
as a man of letters and science and
several learned societies elected him
to membership.
In Paris, Christiania, Berlin and OK
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him In
and marveled at the wide scope Of bis
knowledge.
The event connected with MI
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred Immediately after bis
arrival in Italy early in April. Before
he left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had intimated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri
can. About the same time former
Vice. President Fairbanks was In
Rome and had arranged for an audi
ence at the Vatican which was can
celled by the pope because Dir. Fair
banks first addressed the Methodist
rlission in Rome. When Colonel
Roosevelt reached the Eternal City be
received, through the American minis
ter, a message from Cardinal Merry
del Val, papal secretary of state, to
the effect that the pope would grant
an audience to Mr.. Roosevelt II he
did not repeat the mistake made by
Mr.. Fairbanks. The colonel promptly
called It all on. stating that as an in
dependent American citizen he could
not submit to such restrictions. The
head Of the Methodist mission tried tC
make religious capital out Of this, and
