disease. and was able to be up and
around for a short time when he
was taken down with Bright's dis

WHITE WAY WILL
SOON LIGHT CITY

Work on the white way for two
blocks on main street in Bowbells
started on Friday Of last week, and
it is expected that the work will
be completed and the lights turned
on about the first Of next week.
The contract for this work had
been let to Nehring e Mahoney,
while the contract for the furnish
ing Of the material was let to a
Minneapolis firm. The Minneapo-
lis firm refused to carry out its
part Of the contract for the reason
that it could not use the special
assessment warrants which the city
would have given IN payment, and
Nehring G Mahoney were unable
to do the work until they got the
material. H. E. Potter of the
Bowbells plant finally, came for
ward and stated that he would be
willing to do the work and furnish
the material at a price just a trifie
larger than the old contract, would
Furnish better posts, and would
have the work done at once. + He
was given the contract and started
work Immediately. The material
for the, work arrived mere on sat
urday morning of, last week. and
at the same time work was start
ed on the making Of the concrete
bases for the; posts. These bases
are being made at the power house
and are allowed to set there. Then
a hole is being chiseled out in the
concrete walks and the base set In.
It will be allowed to stand in this
way till spring when It will be pro-
perly cemented in. Contractor
Gust. Swanson has been employed
by Mr. Potter to look after the
making Of the bases and also the
digging of the bitches Tor; the coy-l2
ering or the connecting wires. IT,
was found that the ground under:
the snow was froze down only
few inche and the work lis ~ pro-
crossing nicely. Mr.. Potter tells
The Tribune that the white way will
be In full operat tion not later than

seen happens before that time
