Mr.. Stricken will call the attention

one that is being violated by the

PAVEMENT Off
UNTIL SPRING
Hastings Co. Ask Time for
Mechanic Street.

Work on the proposed Mechanic
street pavement may be deferred un-
til next spring. The contractors, the
Hastings Pavement Company, have
requested that the Job not be start
ed until next spring, owing to the
undesirability Of doing the work dur
Ing tthe winter months. The exca-
waiting contractors have been asked
to hold off operations pending a de-
cision to defer the work until spring.
This request of the pavement
company, which has done most
street pavement work in this city of
late, is significant that it would be
wholly unwise to attempt to lay the
proposed new pavement on Water
street, despite the vigilant demands
of property owners, according to
city officials. Much preliminary
work would have to be done before
the Water street pavement could be
laid and that pavement will be some-
what longer than that proposed for
Mechanic street.

AROUND WORLD
THREE TIMES
W. A. Gilman Has Interest.
ing Story of His Travels
About the Globe.
IN NAVY NINE YEARS
Stenographer and Paymas-
ter's Clerk Here Awaiting
Orders--Has Fine Position.

| w. A. Gilman, who has Just COM
pIeted his third trip around tho
| world, IS interesting many people
with tales of his experiences. In his
recent girdle of the globe he was
paymaster clerk on board the cruiser
california. He had previously served
as stenographer on board various
American battleships and visited
every point of interest on earth.
Novel to relate, he carried with him
on his three globe-circling trips
pair OF glasses and a case he pur-
chased from Louis Kreielsheimer
more than nine years ago. At tho
completion of the third trip he visit
ed the jeWelry shop to have a
stronger lens inserted. The case for
the glasses is now highly treasured
by Mr.. Kreielsheimer.
Mr.. Gilman has by means of dill
gence and ambition reached a good
position in the navy service. He
began on the battleship Georgia and
thereafter enjoyed long cruise In
1908 he Joined the Louisiana and
entered in the second squadron to
Manila. He later made a change TO
board the Wisconsin and remained
along the east coast to April of 1910.
In the meantime he spent time in
navy yards at Norfolk and Ports
mouth. He returned to this city for
few days in 1909. In April of
1910 Mr.. Gilman was detached from
the Georgia and was ordered on
board the New York, an old and
tried flagship. He then left for the
Philippine Islands. In passing
through the Mediterranean sea he
touched every port of southern
Europe, stopping at every place of
interest, including Paris, Naples,
Rome and for the third time in his
career at Gibraltar. Mr.. Gilman
came to San Francisco in April of
1911 and returned to Asia shortly
afterward. He was in China at the
time of the emperor's death.
Perseverance brought Mr.. Gilman
up in navy service. He declares the
proposition was a difficult one at
the start, but he pluckily mastered
the obstacles that came in his way
and rose higher with each year OF
service. In Uncle Sam he has found
a good paymaster and one who ap>
preciates good service. He stalxidfSif
in the service at the age Of about
eighteen and has now completed his
last enlistment. He Is now in this
city renewing old acquaintances and
stands ready to serve on any of the
country's Warships at q moments
notice. He is at present headquar-
tering at the home of G. Frank
Wilson, 130a Brighton avenue.
