hail from Merton, Tom Green county,
to Brownsville, Cameron county, but
that Cameron county offers unusual in
ducements to young couples who desire
to enter the holy bonds of wedlock was
evidenced in the county clerks Office

asking the county clerk not to issue a
marriage license to a young man who. it
IS inferred, left MERTON with matrimOn-

Mr.. and Mrs. 5. NJ. Oglesby, and the
note gave the information that their
son, 5. NJ. Oglesby, jr., who might seek
a license here, is only 10 years old.

NEW SEWER PIPE
 NOW BEING LAID

The city street department is very busy these days. Lots of repair work is occasioned on account of the heavy traffic that goes over the wooden pave ments. A railing is being put up along Franklin or Front street extended from the Worthen mills to the end of the Sheep creek road This is done for the protection of teams and pedes- trians.
 City Engineer Blakeslee is now lay ing the new ten.inch sewer on Frank lin street between Fifth and Sixth. The pipe arrived on the Curacao yes terday. This block is being put down for test purposes. It is contemplated to put in permanent sewers of vitrol- ized clay pipe or of other material of equal good quality. The sewer pipe being used in this experiment is from the Denuy-Renton Clay Company, the largest manufacturers of sewer pipe on the Pacific coast, and one of the largest in the world.
 A crew is digging a trench for the eight-inch sewer that is to be laid on Fourth between Harris and Gold streets. It is expected to lay the sew CT next week.
 Every night sluicing operations are kept up on the school ground. This block of land is being prepared for the new high school building. The top earth is used to level up Fifth and Franklin streets.
 Next week work will commence on the Farnum street improvement, which will be a source of qualification to the citizens of that section.

SHEEP CREEK ROAD
 BEING FINISHED?
O O

It is possible that the government road from Juneau to Sheep creek road may not be finished this year. Should this misfortune be realized it will mean the loss to Juneau of bus mess amounting to at least $1OO,OOO each month according to we'll in- formed business man who is in close touch with the developments at Sheep creek. This possibility must be eliminated by quick and concerted ac- tion." said the business man referred to. before it is too late"
 At the time the Sheep creek road was projected the City of Juneau agreed to build the connecting link from the lower end of Franklin street to the point where the road starts on the embankment and the Alaska-Gastineau agreed to do a certain amount of work on the Sheep creek end coming toward town. Both the City of Juneau and the Alaska .Gastineau Company have performed their parts of the agree ment. but there is now a big possibil- ity that Uncle Sam" will fail
 Jack Hayes who has charge of the road building for the Alaska road commission in this part of the Terri tory said this morning that he was get ting along fine with the work. The crew was now down opposite the Treadwel camp and there was but little more than a mile vet to finish, but a great deal of rock work had to be done in that mile. "We haven't enough money to finish the work" he said when approached on the sub feet. "at least not under the present appropriation-it is too bad. This is fine weather for road building and l did want to get it finished"
 An effort will be made to overcome the difficulty. It is believed that Col. Richardson will find some way of keep. ing the work going when he is made acquainted with the facts. The failure to complete the road this season and at an early date will result in some changes in the plans of the company operating at Sheep creek.

I'd be sur prised if they get another game this season. They'll be wearin' those Nile greens back in the stopes after few games with us. We are just getting onto the fact a few changes in posi- tions will strengthen the team up a whole lot and this will be done" At this juncure Tom Saegers. the Tiger star pitcher, said he though it would be a shame to wear those nice green suits back in the mines. Why wouldn't be good plan to give them to the Juvenile Bostonians?-thati is, of course. if they are not afraid of the hoodoo of wearing the rags of losers" ."
