THE OUTLOOK CLUB.
Banquet and Meeting Held at the
Bright Last Tuesday Evening.

Banquet and Meeting Held at the
Bright Last Tuesday Evening.
The monthly meeting and banquet
OF the Outlook club at the Bright last
Tuesday evening was a very interest
ing and instructive one. Following
the spread, the president of the club,
w. A. Hedges, gave fine address on
The Decadence of Europe, in which
conditions in the European countries
were presented, many new lights be-
ing thrown upon them by the war be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan states.
MIR. Hedges studies led him to the
belief that there was rather revival
than a decadence in Europe, even
Spain showing a marked advance in
every way as compared with even a
decade ago.
Elliott c. Lincoln was to have given
an address on "The Rise OF the
Orient and in his absence in Mis-
soula the paper prepared by him was
read by H. L. Sackett. 1t proved
equally interesting and the discussion
following the addresses was spirited
and enlightening.
The clubs final meeting for the sea-
son will be held June 4, when ]. C.
Huntoon and Albert N. Nadeau will
give addresses and r. Won Tobel and
Harold B. Cutler will lead in the dis
cussiOn.

RETIRING CITY ENGINEER SUB
MlTs REPORT COVERING
TWO YEARS,
HIS RECOMMENDATIONS
Believes Deep Sewer System Is I'M
perative for Business District and
Thinks It Should Be Constructed
Before the Paving Is Begun-To
Straighten Spring Greek.

In his final report as city engineer,
submitted to the council last week, w.
NJ. MCLEAN makes two recommends,
tions of especial interest and import.
ance. One of these is as to the
Strengthening Of the channel of Spring
creek within the city. BY doing this,
Mr.. MCLEAN says, the city will avoid
the necessity of building a number of
bridges in the near future. This
Strengthening is especially necessary
to cut out the big bend, almost loop,
in what is practically the business
district This loop extends over about
800 feet and by cutting a channel
through from about Third avenue and
Watson street to about Second avenue
and Janeaux street this loop would
be done away with entirely. The dis
tance between the two points of the
stream that would be connected
would be 26O feet.
Mr.. MCLEAN also directs attention
to the fact that the deep Easements
now being constructed for the new
business blocks cannot be drained at
all by the old sewer system. To rem
edy this he suggests that an inde-
pendent drainage sewer system be
built in the business district Con-
sidering this necessity that will
soon be most pressing, he recommends
that it be taken up at soon as pos
sible and that the paving project be
laid over for another year.
Following is the report in full:

Gentlemen:

port on waterworks construction and

sions, and cement sidewalks, during

LARGEST ANIMAL ON EARTH

Sparks World Famous Shows are
billed to exhibit at Ironwoad July 4th
ana from the newspaper reports preced
ing them their exhibition will be worth
going many miles to witness.
Among the many features the show
carries is what is claimed to be the
largest land animal on earth. 1t is an
elephant said to be three inches taller
than jumbo and half ton heavier.
Some idea Of her immense size can
be obtained when you consider that
she is II feet, inches tall and weighs
over 5 tons. In other words she
weighs az much as 10 ordinary horses.
Another extraordinary feature with
the show is Capt. WesIey's troupe Of
educated Seal and Sea Lions. These in
teresting sea animals perform the most
seemingly impossible feats; balancing
chairs. umbrellas and whirling brands
Of fire while climbing ladders, walking
tight ropes and riding the backs of gal
Looping horses. This feature battles de-
scription and must be sesn to be apgre-
ciated.
Many other wonderful things are to
be seen with this mammoth show and
the main performance beneath the big
tents will present a number of the
most marvellous foreign acts of the cen
turY.
The menagerie of wild animals carri-
ed with the show is complete in every
detail, and contains rare and curious
specimens of the earth's most interest
ing and curious animals.
A mile long street parade of dazzling
splendor. beautiful women, handsome
horses, interspered with three brass
bands and steam e4lipce wi rlverse
