Experiment With
 Brush on Second

Deciding it pest to try one block of brush to determine it's suitability, be- fore letting a contract for the whole of the paving from Otter to Black, the council last Wednesday night gave a contract to Scott Holbrook to brush one block of Second avenue between Willow and Richmond and to begin the work as soon as possible.
 The question before the council has been as to the superiority of brush or slabs and the relative cost, it being the opinion of the roadbuilders among them that brush could be laid cheaper and with better results.
 Of the bids put in, F. A. Cleveland offered to furnish slabs at $9 load or %l8 a cord, and this was supposed to figure out about $l foot simply deliv- cred on the ground and the city to lay it. Holbrook agreed to brush the street, laying it in manner satisfac tory to the street committee for 75c a foot.
 It was also learned that the Slip perm mill would furnish slabs as soon as they get them for one-half the price quoted by Cleveland.
 Following the laying of the brush, it is planned to cover it with moss and muck and eventually with sawdust, which should finally result in good highway.
 Second avenue has been the terror of teamsters ever since the city began to rise out of the moss covered empire that hung among the niggerheads, and the residents along the thoroughfare will rejoice to hear that some effort is being made to make it passable.
 As soon as the desirability of brush street is determined. or it is decided to use slabs instead, the balance of Sec Qhd street will be paved.

Plans for 4. B. Hall
 Are MateriaIiZing

The committee on entertainment is quite elated over the fact that it has secured some classy talent for the stunts that are to be pulled of at the big Dedication Ball at the new A. B. hall in this city next Saturday, June 10. Among the new arrivals in the city are some talented people who have promised 70 assist in the entertainment, and it looks as though some new stuff that is even as fresh as the new eggs will be heard.
 The question of music has been set tied with the selection of an orchestra of four, consisting of Berggren, Bier man, Bourret and Drake. and the re- freshment committee is sitting up nights trying to think of something else to put on the score card.
 Work on the hall is being held back to some extent by lack of lumber, but it will be finished in ample time, and indications points to one of the finest social events yet held in the Iditarod.

Says White Pass
 May Have to Quit

The claim is made by the White Pass officials that if the road has to submit to a reduction of one-third in it's present tariff it will have to shut down. The Vancouver World of recent date says:
 That the rates of the White Pass & Yukon should be raised instead of low cred is the opinion of General Manager Berdoe, who has just returned from the East. The company has been gran ted a stay of execution on the order issued by the railroad commission, effective until June l, when the case will come up for reconsideration.
 ''The road at present is only earning two per cent on the investment and this fact has evidently caused the com missoners to take another view of the question.
