Will Build Concrete Walks

Simon Bros. have been busily
engaged this week hauling rock
and preparing to put in a con-
crete sidewalk in front of their
meat market on the corner of
King and Main streets and will
also put in a permanent curb and
gutter to carry the storm waters
past their location. Work is
now we'll under way on this
walk, which will be the first of
its kind in Cottonwood, and
which will add materially to the
appearance of that corner.
While this will be the first con-
crete walk constructed in the
business section of our city it
will not bear the sole honor long,
for H. H. NuXoll has announced
his intention of extending the
walk past his bank property and
to the north corner of the Huff
harness shop on King street, and
plans are also under way to put
in similar strip of concrete
walk on the south side of Main
street in front of the Hoene
Hardware, Cottonwood Mercan-
tile Co. store, First National
Bank and Peterson -Schober
block. 1t is also probable that
Mr.. Goldstone will decide to have
the walk laid in front of his
property on that street.
With the assistance of abut-
ting property owners, the village
will put in a concrete crossing on
Main street from the Simon cor
ner to the Hoene Hardware, and
we understand two more concrete
crossings are to be put in on
Front and King streets north OF
the Chronicle Office.
This will give our town three
concrete crossings and a nice
stretch of cement walks and will
pave the way for quite a bit more
of this work before 1915 passes
into history.

The Princess theatre has again
changed hands, the new owner
being H. M. Wilson, formerly of
Glasgow, Mont. Mr.. Wilson
closed the deal for the local play
house last week, after his wife
had been here looking over the

vorite of his.
Mr.. Wilson is an old hand at
the theatre game and gives
promise of making the local III p
atre one of the best this side OF
Spokane. He owned and oper.
ated four motion picture theatres
at one time in Montana and has
the experience necessary to han
die the show to the best possible
advantage. Aside from the
show business, he is a genial,
whole-souled fellow who will
prove a valuable acquisition to
our city.

Had A Good Roads" Day

Last Friday was good roads"
in Cottonwood and a large num-
ber of our business men closed
up shop, or turned the work over
to the boys, and got out with
rake, shovel and pick to improve
the condition of the various high
ways leading into our thriving
city. Auto loads were taken out
for couple of miles in every di-
rection and the men then worked
back into town, piching and rak-
ing the loose rocks, bottles and
other rubbish from the roads,
filling holes in the surface of the
roadway and picking out boulders
that were formerly a menace to
smooth traffic by rig or car.
Owing to the unfinished condi-
tion of the streets being worked
here in town not much could be
done to them but the roads lead
ing into town were smoothed up
in nice shape and the small rocks
were raked from the roadway
on King street to its intersection
with Main street in the center of
town. All told, quite a lot of
beneficial work was done by
those who put in the day and if
another crusade can be pulled off
by the stay-at-homes after our
street work is completed all the
roads in and about Cottonwood
will be placed in fine shape for
traffic for the rest of the summer
season.

Enaland's Fastest Liner Falls
Prt y to German Submarine
Fully 14OU Lives Lost ard
Americans Among Them.

Washington, May IL. The
Uli ed States in note to be sent
to Germany tomorrow demands a
guarantee that there will be no
further attacks by submarines
on merchant ships car ,ying non
combatants.
1t serves notice also that full
reparation will be sought for
more than 100 American lives in
the sinking of the Lusitania, and
for other violations of American
rights in the sea zones of war.
The document was to have
been cabled tonight, but the
president, after conferences with
Counselor Robert Lansing of the
state department, made several
changes in legal detail, and then
revised it alone in his study te-
night. Tomorrow it will be dis
patched, and it is expected to be
made public tomorrow.
While no indication is given cf
the steps to be taken by the
United States in the event of an
unfavorable reply the note in
forms the German government
that the American government
will leave nothing undone either
in diplomatic representations or
other action to obtain a compli-
ance with its requests.
No changes were made in the
essentials Of the communication
as formulated Sunday by the
president and approved by the
cabinet yesterday.
The Cunard liner, Lusitania,
which sailed out of New York
Saturday, May /, with more than
1000 persons aboard, lies at the
bottom of the ocean off the Irish
coast.
She was sunk by German
submarine on the afternoon of
May 7 which sent two torpedoes
crashing into her side, while the
passengers, seemingly confident
that the great vessel could elude
the German underwater craft,
were having luncheon.
The loss of life is estimated at
about 400. Many Americans, it
is believed, were among the lost.
The Lusitania was steaming
along about 10 miles off Old Head
Kinsdale, on the last leg of her
voyage to Liverpool, when about
2 o'clock in the afternoon a SUBJ
marine suddenly appeared and
fired two torpedoes without
warning at the steamer. One
struck her near the bows and the
other in the engine room.
The powerful agents of de-
struction tore through the yes
sells side, causing terrific explo
sions. Almost Immediately
great volumes of water poured
through the openings and the
Lusitania listed. Boats, which
were already swung out on tht
davits, were dropped overheard
and were speedily filled will
passengers who had been strucl
dumb by the attack.

EXAMINATIONS FOR
PUBLIC UTILITIES ENGINEER
Civil Service Commission Dill Secure
List of EIisihIes.

The statement that the civil serv-
ice commission had refused to ex-
empt the engineer of the public util-
tiles commission from the operation
of the civil service law was con-
tradicted on Thursday by Charles G..
Morris, president Of the civil service
commission.
Mr.. Morris, in New Haven, die
tated the following statement: aft
er a conference at which the mem
bers OF the public utilities commits
sion were informed that the posi-
ton of engineer to the commission
was one which might be exempted
at their option under the new law,
the public utilities commission de-
termined to utilize the facilities which
the civil service service commission
had for determining the relative de-
sorability of candidates.
At a conference between the two
commissions at the capitol, We'd
reached that the civil service COM

mission would hold an examination
of candidates for appointment to the
position of egineer.
The civil service commission will
furnish the public utilities commits
position from the list Of candidates
who may take the examination if
any come UP to the required stand
ard But it Will not follow that the
public utilities commission will make
an appointment from the list of the
civil service commission. AS a mat
ter Of fact, the public utilities COM
mission has received about twenty
applications for the position, and
by process Of elimination has
brought the number down to three.
The list of eltgibles furnished by
the civil service commission will be
helpful in the election of an engineer,
but that is all
The civil service commission
tabled the matter of exempting the

man Morris stated that he had been
informed that the board of directors
of the prison had not taken action
on the matter.

morning. Roma is seeking SIS, 900
damages for the loss of a leg in an
elevator accident about three years ago.
The accident which resulted in the
loss of Roma's leg, happened in a
building occupied by the Climax Co.,
q subsidiary of the Thames River Spe-
cialties Co. Roma, who was employed
as a helper about the place, started
to get on the elevator and was caught
between the elevator and the shaft.
His leg was crushed so badly that am
putation war necessary.
Suit was Thought against the Climax
Co., for $4,000 and a jury in the sube-
rior court rendered a verdict in ia
vor of the defendant on the ground
that the defendant company had
shown no negligence and that the ac-
cident was the fault of the plaintiff

pren1e court of errors and it was sus-
tanned, no error being found.
Now Roma brings suit against the
Thames River Specialties Co., as the
