The Two Miracle Concrete
Company is making a great
change i'm the appearance of the
streets i'm Improvement District
No. 3 The weather has been
ideal for doing The work, just
enough rain having fallen to keep
the dust down but not enough to
interfere at any time with the
work.
The grading on a large part of
the streets is so far along that the
concrete curbing can be put in
and This work was started Mon
day morning. It could have been
lcommenced before but the com
pany was held up by lack of
sand and gravel. Although the
company had its rock crusher
here, Mr.. Trip, the superintend-
ent, did not think the job large
enough to warrant the expense OF
setting it up and using crushed
rock and planned on getting
gravel from either Spokane or
Occur d'Alene. Complications
arose and the idea was finally
abandoned and the crusher set ur
and started to work the latter pari
of the week. The sand is being
brought from Coeur d'Alene, ih'
first barge load arriving Satur-
day.
Besides the concrete curbing
the company already has con
tracts for putting quite a mum
ber of cement sidewalks and j

STREET RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

STREET RAILWAY TRAFFIC.
The surface lines are finally taking
up suggestion made by The Day
Book over year ago; and that is to
keep the teams and trucks off the
street car tracks, especially during
rush hours. Steam railways don't
permit freight trains to hold back
passenger trains, Notwithstanding
the fact that all trains have to run
on the tracks. In the city there are
other streets for freight transporta-
ton than those occupied by street
car tracks, and some of the freight
traffic could be diverted to them.
Freight traffic should be permitted
on streets where the cars run only
if it does not interfere with rapid
transit for street car riders.
This is matter of public concern,
rather than regulation for the bene-
fit of the company. Every minute cut
off the schedule of car line brings
the ends of that line closer together,
because the real measure of distance
is the time it takes people to cover it.
Strangely enough, the city takes
greater care to make transportation
easy and rapid on the boulevards
than on the streets occupied by car
tracks, yet there are. hundreds who
use street cars to one owner of an
automobile. ......
The proposed elimination of freight
traffic where it delays street car traf-
fic is a move in the interest of the
people who ride on street cars. r.

FAMOUS Woman HER
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
Florence Merriam Bailey.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Among all the fields of intellectual
activity there is probably none in
which women have less frequently
achieved success than that of scientif-
ic research. For that reason such
women as Florence Merriam Bailey,
who was born August s, 1853, deserve
especial note. She was brought up in
her native State of New York and
after a thorough elementary educa ton
she took special four years course
at Smith College. There she display
ed strong love for nature, but II
was not till she had left her alma ma =
of birds. On a trip to the Far West
she started special research along this
line and before long was called to fill
A post of special lecturer at Stanford
University.
Returning East she spent some time
in Washington, D. c., where she gave
courses and lectures in bird lore. She
held a position as lecturer on the sub
ject in the Washington normal schools
and became we'll known for her field
classes around Washington and her
lectures in private schools and clubs
In short she was acknowledged as the
leading authority on the subject
among women in that part of the
country.
In 1899. when she was SO. she mar
ried DIR. Bailey. the chief field natural
list of the United States Biological
Survey, with whom she had been as
ISOLATED in investigative work for
many years. Probably her most re-
markable work is her Handbook of
the Birds of the West" which is to
the states west OF the Mississippi
what Mr.. Frank NJ. Chapman's book is
to the birds of the East Other books
widely read and on the book shelves
of bird lovers are Birds Through an
Opera Glass" and "A-birding on a
Broncho."
