Dog Poisoner Is Here,

The dog poisoner is getting in his
deadly work in Colfax. Tuesday several
dogs got hold OF poison, Fred A. Rus
rell's dog being among the number to be
sacrificed. While dogs are sometimes a
nuisance and a cur is a cur, still throw
ing out poison to kill promiscuously is
wrong and sometimes does rreparabe
mischief. There are valuable dogs that
owners hate to part with. Others are
pets, dear to the children and the house
hold, that do no harm and fill useful
place in the economy OF nature. II a
creature belonging to the dumb animal
species becomes a nuisance the law pro-
Vides a remedy and the law should be
invoked. There are other nuisances be.

BUSINESS MEN AND PROPERTY
OWNERS ALL WANT PAVING DONE
At a Meeting of Interested Parties It Is
Decided to Uphold Action of the
City Councils Intention.

The city council last week declared it's
intent to improve Main street by Great
ing two improvement districts, one from
Islandfstreet north to the O.-W. R. & N.
passenger depot, the other from Island
street south to Cooper lake bridge. The
last named district includes the principal
business houses of Colfax. Protests, if
any, to this Improvement must be filed
not later than the next meeting of the
council, which ia next Monday.
Apparently there will be no objection
to this Improvement. An informal meet
ing of the principal property holders OF
the district reaching from leland street
south to Cooper lake bridge was held
Tuesday, exMayor Lippitt presiding and
Dick Reid acting as secretary. Four
teen or Is OF the largest property holders
we're in attendance, representing about
100 feet of the thoroughfare proposed
to be improved.
The decision of the meeting was that
the Improvement should be made,
although it was thought that the city
should pay for the Improvement of cross
streets However, if the city does not
see it's way clear to pay for paving the
cross streets the property owners will
not make strenuous objection to making
the payments. The cost of the proposed
improvement is to be assessed against
abutting property.
The meeting put itself on record as
being in favor OF the work being done In
a thorough manner, something that will
be enduring, cheapness, in this particu-
lar instance, not being a matter to con-
slider in comparison with work well done
at higher cost. There was no dsposi-
tion shown to dictate to the city author
tiles as to the materials to be used, it
being the concensus of opinion that the
mayor and council would use their best
endeavors to have the work we'll done,
having an eye single TO the best inter
ests OF the community as a whole.
What General Livingstone Said.
Wednesday a representative of The
Gazette called upon General FL W. Liv.
ingstone, one of the largest property
holders on Main street in the district
affected, owning frontage of $40 feet,
and he unhesitatingls said that be was
in favor of the proposed improvement
with provisO, namely, that the work
should be we'll done. let the cost be what
it will. He severely criticised the work
previously done on Main street, the
effects OF the food waters of last spring
showing what poor macadamizing or
paving would do. With first class paw
ing the food waters of last spring would
have passed oyer the street, not tearing
it to pieces as it did. The work, too, in
his opinion, should also be done with an
eye to appearance, to make the city
more attractive, and instead OF cross
walks at the intersection of each by
street the entire street should be made
so that crosswalks would not be neces-
sary. Every thing connected with the
work should be modern and of the best
material.

The Auto Is Here.

The first automobile to appear on the
streets of Colfax this season was seen
Tuesday. 1t probably means that, like
Abou Ben Adhem, his tribe will increase.
1t also means that spring-gentle,
ethereal spring-is here, bidding good
bye to mud and slush, snow and ice,
greeting the warm sunshine, the butter
cups and daisies, the song OF the bird.
We may expect more rainy days, in
fact, should pray for their coming, but
the back of winter is broken without
doubt. We salute the auto and greet
the other blessings in life.

M. {. CHURCH BUILDING.
Work in Full Swing to Make Ready
for New Edifice.

Excavation for the new Methodist
church is in full swing. The choir loft in
the rear of the old structure was torn
down Monday. The annex on the north
side was removed Wednesday, and the
main structure placed on stills to allow
excavation to be made for the new brick
building. Excavation will be four feet
in depth facing Mill street and eight feet
in depth in the rear. This means that
the new building when completed will
have a deep basement, where the
gymnasium, kitchen, etc, will be located.
As previously stated in The Gazette,
the present building will be moved to
the rear OF the lot, facing Canyon street,
veneered with brick and used as 10 annex
for the new brick structure to be erected
At this writing the city is carting
away the dirt excavated, filling in the
south approach to the Cooper lake
bridge The church authorities are do
ing the digging and loading, the city
hauling the dirt away. Later county
prisoners may be put to work to do the
digging, the county using the dirt to
fill in around the court house.
Next Sunday morning services will be
held in the court house. There will be
no evening services.
Tuesday a love feast was held, it being
the last gathering in the old church as
such. Speeches we're made, big feed
was given, followed by an experience
meeting in which most of the members
took part.

St. Patrick's Day.

This is St. Patrick's day. st. Patrick
is an honored name. Albeit st. Patrick

the Green Isle lays special claim, still the
name is honored in all civilized countries,
in America, probably, with greater en-
thusiasm than anywhere else.

Anent Personal Property Taxes.

Unless personal property taxes are
paid Immediately the sheriff will sell the
property for taxes, as house bill 800,
signed by the governor, provides that
all personal taxes not paid on March Is
are delinquent and are to be transmitted
Immediately by the treasurer to the
sheriff for destraint. This means that
unless the money is paid Immediately
that the sheriff will sell the property for
taxes, as the bill carried an emergency
clause and is now in effect.
Chinese Consul Returns Thanks.
A letter OF thanks written by Coon
Dip, the imperial Chinese consul, on be-
hall OF the suffering Chinese of Northern
China has been received by Governor
hay. He thanks the governor for his
efforts in their behalf and for the aid
extended.
Money Returned to Treasury.
The state board OF control, as the re-
suit OF close figuring, will turn back
about 100000 to the state treasury on
April 1. Governor Hay instructed the
members of the board OF eontrol to use
business methods in handling the affairs
OF state institutions, and this money
represents the unexpended portions OF
appropriations made two years ago by
the legislature, showing that the board
OF control has followed his advice and
saved neary quarter of million.
What Mr.. Bell Thinks.
A county commissioner who does not
live at the county seat is entitled to
reasonable hotel bills although he does
receive a fat salary, according to an
opinion to the state bureau OF inspection
by the attorney general, W. P. Bell. He
also holds that without calling for com
petitive bids county commissioners may
purchase road machinery which costs in
excess of $3.50. The attorney general
says that inasmuch as machinery can
be purchased in open market it would be
easily ascertained if more than the re-
quired amount should be paid.

HISTORIC LANDMARK
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Pavilion on SteptOe Butte Will
Be Seen No More.
Erected by "Cashup" Davis in July,
1ees--cost $1o,o 900. and Was
Designed to Be Crownlng Jewel
of Great Scenic Resort N ovsI
Features Connected With Place.

The building erected by James 8.
("Cashup'') Davis in July, 1889, on top
OF Steptoe butte, an historic Landmark,
went up in fire and smoke Wednesday
night between 8 and 10 O'Clock. The
fire must have been of incendiary origin,
as the building has not been occupied for
years.
Steptoe butte is $500 feet high, and
towers like giant above any thing in
this part OF the Inland Empire. 1t is a
perfect butte, being, as round and almost
as perfect as an Old-fashioned sugar
loaf. 1t was the dream OF "Cashup"
Davis to make the top of this butte a
great summer resort, and with this end
in view he constructed the building at
the time mentioned which was DESTROYED
by fire Wednesday night.
