Al the meeting Tuesday evening

and much agitated question of street
grading. The question Of street i'm
provement has been agltsted by the
people a long time aud was consid.
cred by the previous council, bnt was
no definite steps we're taken, fer the
reason that there WAS a difference of
opinion among the people aud the
counrilmen as we'll as to to just what
Improvement should be made, some
wishing to improve only one or two
streets, while others wished to see
the grading extended to all of the
principal streets Of the city
The desire of the pl ople at this
time, as expressed by the numerous
pet lions on hle, seems to be to have
all of the principal streets of the
city graded and ourbed. There be
ing no remonstraces filed aud no
one appearing In opposition, 1t was
unanimously voted to grant the petit.
tious and the city attorney WAS in
struoted to prepare an ordinance de

property owners had asked that The
limits Of the district be extended I,

Log Jam on
State Creek
HIGHER WATER COMING
Snow Said to be 40 Feet Deep in
Pass Over Divide

James Nevins and g. W. Trueman
returned Wednesday evening from a
trip in the Slate Greek country.
They have some timber on the head
waters of Slate Greek, which they
are intending to put Ia this spring,
aud they we're making the trip to
look over the prospects, select camp
sites, ETC., and we're intending to go
on through to Wallace tn examine the
road, as they we're intending to move
ii by the way of that city and also to
hael their supplies in that way.
they went up Slate Greek about 16
MILES to MoGoldrick' camp, where
they stopped all night. Tredo. the
walking boss, told them that It would
be next to lmpossi BILE for them to get
through to Wallace that way, as the
snow on the divide was AO feet deep
where it had drifted over the crest.
This was more than they had bargain
ed for and they gave up the trip and
returned.
Speaking of the snow and water
conditions, Mr.. Nevins said; "Harry
Alcorn's statement of the conditions
existing there as It appeared IN the
Reed, was correct, as we found
tIe8. with the exception that the
three days of hot weather had taken
the snow of the flats and the bare
places on the south and west side Of
the hills, and the water Ia Slate
Greek, instead of being normal was
now at a flood
In speaking Of the tunnel under
the snow through which they we're
driving legs, he said that It WAS 40
rods long, and that at one time when
the gates Of the dam we're down. shut
ting off the water, one Of the men
had walked the entire length Of 1t Ia
the creek bed under the snow. He
stated that McGoldrick was having
trouble In driving the creek this
spring, that Tredo, the walking boss,
bad told him that they had a big jam
containing at least four million,
] hUUuA AouA nlAGn uouNo NhnHf uuN
that they we're unRbls to break It by
the usual methods, but would have &c
pick out the logs one by one, makiul
a channel through the center and
break the jam 10 that way TredC
estimated that this would add 4
thousand dollars to the cost Of bring
Ing the drive out Of the creek into
the river.
Mr.. Nevlns said that It was hare
to make my prophesy as to wha
might be expected 10 the way Of higl
water. Fortunately the snow OF
! the north side Of the river is melting
fret. The streams IN that side ar
( running full Of muddy water fllei

those on the south side are norma
and the water as clean as in the sum

afairs, as it will allow the Big Cree
