Pavements on Hill So Bad
Folks Walk in Streets

Complaint has reached the Tele-
graph regarding the intolerable con-
dition of a number of the citys side
walks. The man who has written
about the conditions says he finds the
sidewalks. especially in the Allison
Hill district, in very poor condition in
some places. He mentions the south
side of Mulberry street between Cres-
cent and Hummel and says pedestrians
invariably walk in the street to avoid
the sidewalk.
He also speaks OF a bad stretch of
brick paving on the west side of South
Thirteenth street where the lighting Is
said to be inadequate. He observes
that these are only one or two of the
bad sidewalks that he has seen on the
Hill and in other parts of the city.
He says he things the fine reputa- =
ton of Harrisburg for good streets
and other up-to-date improvements
ought not to be marred by neglected
sections here and there.

No DANCING AT BAZAR

1t has finally been decided that
there will he no dancing at the Tech
bazar, which will be held in the Tech
high school tomorrow and Saturday.
Yesterday the School Board requested
that the students would not give a
dance and ii was decided not to have
one. The reasons for this are that the
noise of the dancing would disturb the
Wharton school of commerce, which
is in session on the fourth floor, and
because of the evangelistic movement
in the city.

SPEAKING OF PRAISE.

THE FAIRBANKS CITIZEN gives
 praise where praise is due when
 it says much of the credit for the passage of the Alaska railroad bill should be given to Gov. J. F. A. Strong. Gov. Strong had not left Washington after the confirmation of his appoint ment as Governor before he had urged upon Secretary Lane the necessity of the government construction of a trunk line railroad in Alaska. He pre- seEted the case to Seth Mann, the per sonal representative of the President, when Mir. Mann was in Alaska.
 He made it the feature of his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, and he never missed an op' portunity to speak and write in the interest of the legislation. When We are giving praise for the good work for this great constructive measure the name of Gov. Strong must be in- cluded with the President. the Secre- tary of the Interior, Delegate Wicker sham, Senators Chamberlain, Pittman, Walsh and Jones. and Representative Houston, of Tennessee.
 However. as Admiral Schley said when asked to discuss the questions as to whom credit was due for the naval victory at Santiago, there is glory enough in the victory for everybody to get credit in full measure.
