PAVE LEE AND TAYLOR STREETS

Mud such as that which made the
crossings along Lee and Taylor streets
yesterday almost impossible for
pedestrians is one OF the strongest
arguments that could be offered for
the paving of these thoroughfares. 1t
is an argument that sticks-and con-
vinces one of the need of some rem
edy for such conditions.
Yesterdays rains had an effect Oh
these crossings which was most dis
concerning to pedestrians. The con-
slant passage of automobiles and 9th
er vehicles along these two most fire.
quented of the unpayed streets of the
city soon causes the crossings where
Church and Taylor streets intersect
Lee to become almost impossible for
pedestrians. Ladies especially are
rendered helpless under these condi-
lions.
There are few cities the size OF
Americas, if any, where two of the
most frequented streets are passeu
over hourly during the day by as
many automobiles and other vehicles
as are Lee and Taylor streets. 1t is
practically impossible in bad weather
to keep these crossings in any thing
like decent condition under the pres
ent arrangement Cinders placed IT
the crossing last only a short time.
They soon become reduced to mud.
1t would be the part of both econ
omy and wisdom for Americas to ar
range to have these streets paved. The
people of the city should rally to the
support of the municipal government
and pave these streets. The residents
on no other two streets of the city
are better able to afford the compar-
atively small outlay than are those
who live along these streets. The en-
hancement in the value of the prop
erty would be so great and so imme-
diate that the outlay for paving should
hardly be considered.
When the season of mud passes,
then comes the plague of the dust. No
residents in the city suffer so much
from dust in the summer and autumn
under average weather conditions
than do those along Lee and Taylor
streets, where constantly passing We
hicies keep a pail of dust always in
the air. They literally breathe in dust
throughout the entire day, not II
mention a great part of the night,
when the dry season is on This is 4
plague to health and to common
cleanliness. White lace curtains IN
residences along Lee street are accus-
toned to assume a deep red or ma
room color under these circumstances
unless, perchance, the room in which
they are kept is locked and closed
tightly, with every window sash down.
Year in and year out in the past the
residents along these streets have
been suffering from the dual plague
of mud and dust and yet they have
never yet adopted the common sense
remedy of paving these streets. Why
cannot the residents along these
streets get together and pave them?
Americas in its march of progress
owes it to the municipality and to its
citizens to have these two streets
paved as soon as is practicable.

WHY THE MULE?
M. p. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
Husbandry.

A mules work in ten years is
worth about $500 farm draft mare
and her progeny are worth in ten
years more than $1,000. Then why
the mule?
You pay 5000 and more for a mule.
Raise horse from your own mare
and you will have netted saving OF
$125 to start with. Then why the
mule?
The value of the mare and her prog
eny in ten years as given above, is
estimated on the basis that she will
produce half horses and half mares,
and will foal the average number OF
times, and Furthermore that her work
will be only two-thirds that of the
mule-liberal enough allowance, 1t
will be admitted, in favor of the

basis of per cent interest and the
payment of 10 per cent of the prin-

the distribution of loans this year was
February 10. At that time, owing to
the great press of other work on the

THE SPOKANE |S
 A TOTAL WRECK
Alaska Boat on Rocks of Van couver Is'and--latoucbe
 Answers s. o. 3. Call.

Seattle, Oct. 1.-The steamer Spokane, of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, was wreck ed yesterday on the shores of Vancouver Island and the pas sengers and crew were taken off the ship by the steam frcighter Latouche, which heard the $. O. s. call sent out by the operator on the excursion steamer
 No details have been received here, but as the crew has been taken off the ship it is believed that the vessel is a total loss.
 Captain Lamio was in com- mand at the time of the wreck and has sent a report to the cnm- pany but it has not been made public. It is believed tn" vessel went ashore in a heavy fog.
 This is the third steamer lost by the Pacific Coast company this year in Alaskan waters. The new ship Curacao was wrecked at Warm Chuck and the State of California was lost in Gambler bay. the last named wreck cauS- ing the loss of twenLy-right lives.
