DOUGLAS TO IMPROVE
 ST. ANN AVENUE

One of the projects of the new city council that is about to take up the reins of government in Douglas town or New Town, as the old timers used to call it-is the widening of St. Ann avenue. Time was when only a trail connected Douglas with it's meal ticket, Treadwell. It was rough trail, too; winding it's devious and un- certain way through gulleys, and around stumps and cabins. It was a brave navigator who undertook the night voyage without a good lantern. Then came a narrow plank between the rails of the upper track. When this was added to by a plank on the outer side of each rail we were mak- ing progress to beat the band. Rev. Cole was one of the prime movers in this great achievement. The Rev Cole was one the few preachers ever in Douglas whose interest in public affairs extended beyond the front door of his church.
 Finally the present road was built. Then we were satisfied that never, within decade at least, would there be need for anything better But now the old dirty road that leads to Tread we'll is disgrace to the community. and besides, it is too narrow for any thing. Men, women, children, teams dogs and baby buggies jostle and dodge It is the main thoroughfare of the island. Everybody travels it. We are growing, and we need bigger and better things every year.

DELGADILLO IS NOT SERI-
OUSLY ILL SAYS LAWYER.
J. B. Newell Learns That Condemned
Prisoner II Only Slight Affected from
Dncfnr,a RenOrf to Gorernnr-


Albuquerque n. N, Nay 3--Gover-
nor W. C. Mcdonald gave him no init
nation that he would commute the
sentence OF Demecio Delgadillo, or
dered by the supreme court to be
hanged at Old Albuquerque May 16,
according to j, Benson Newell, attOr-
ney for the prisoner, who returned
yesterday afternoon from Santa Fe.
The governor promised to investi-
gate the case Of Delgadillo fully, Mr.
Newell said, The executive evidently
has already inquired into the case be-
cause, according to Mr.. Newell, he
had a statement from the prison ply
stefan at Santa Fe to the effect that
only one lobe Of DelgadillO's lungs
was affected with tuberculosis and
that the affection was slight.
Mr.. Newell believed that a slight
affection would not be considered by
the governor sufficient grounds to set
aside the supreme courts decision by
committing DelgadillO's sentence to a
long term of imprisonment
Mr.. Newell did not see DelgadillO at
the penitentiary. The prisoner, &C
cording to warden J. B. McManus, had
pneumonia when he was received al
the penitentiary, but now he has fully
recovered from the attack. He Oc-
cupies a cell in the condemned tier.
Mr.. Newell said that the governor
declared DelgadiIlO would not be
treated unjustly.
