WOOD STREET
EXTENSION
With L. & N. Overhe ad
Crossing Being Agita-
ted

One of the men foremost in agita-
ting the extension of West Wood
street from the crossing at Porter
over the West Paris hill, to cross the
tracks of the L. & N, by an over
head bridge, and thence to the CO.
mo road just west of the old coal
chute site, stated to our reporter
that much has been done to secure it.
He is responsible for the statement
that the matter has already been
largely financed from Porter street
across the railroad, and that the
matter must be taken up by the out
of Paris people to take it from the
railroad to the present pike which is
short distance.
This bridge will cost about S12,-
900, the grading and filling from Por-
ter street to the bridge will be very
large item. This is the part that
has been largely financed. TIL. rail
road, according to the understanding
will build the bridge, certain prop
erty owners will donate the property,
others will give dirt for the fill, and
others have pledged cash and it is
understood that the city will gravel
and keep up the street.
Some patriotic county man 81. uld
take up the relatively small amount
out of the corporate limits whic, has
not already been arranged for.
The crossing at the l.. & N, depot
has for long time been consil ,red
dangerous on account of the naze
of tracks and the large amount of
switching.
People who travel to and froif the
Como section and contiguous ter ito
ry suffer much annoyance and u:i,as-
mess on account of this dangerous
crossing at the depot which would
be largely done away with if Vest
Wood street is extended as pro- sed.
The tragic death of DR.. McFa'i on
Dunlap street, which is much less
dangerous crossing, makes the peo-
! pie more keenly aware of the ! 9ees-

GRAHAM BLANTON
VISITS HOME FOLKS.

Graham Blanton, eldest SON of J.
VI. Blanton, was here this week WIS.,
iting his homefolks. He was en- route
from the fire school at Camp Perry,
on Lake Erie, to Camp Logan, Texas,
and availed himself the opportunity
of stopping over with homefolks and
friends for a short visit
Blanton has the viewpoint, like
rlany other loyal citizens, which
make citizens of the United States
proud of his kind. For 20 years he
had been connected with the B. F.

out he was manager of the plant at
Oklahoma City, Okla. He promptly
rendered his resignation, and though
40 years old rendered his services to
his government. He went through
an officers training camp and came
out lieutenant. He is now a first

the 57th infantry.
Half his life time had been spent in
working up responsible position Of
uu. and honor and he cheerfully
di. u,ced it when his nation called

SKAGWAY
 DEFEATS
 T. SEWARD

Fort Wm. H. Seward was again defeated by localI basketball players on the floor of the White Pass gym nasium Saturday night by B score of 32 to 12. A large crowd of specta- tors and roOters accompanied the visiting team ito Skagway, and made the game more than lively with their roofing. Following the bas- ketball game many of the soldiers and visitors went over to Eagle's' F~ll and took part in the dance there.
 The basketball game was played in four periods, the first two of whcih were quite close. At no time, however, was the game in doubt. Each period ended in favor of Skag- way with the scores as follows: Az, 9-6, 2O-S, S2-12. The game was qulte slow during the first two quar4 ters. but speed in the latter part of the game was responsible for Skagway's big score. Four fouls were called on Skagway, but the fort was unable to convert any of them into points. Seven fouls were caIls' on the visiting team of which Skaaway converted two.
 For the visitors, Freddy, at cen- ter, was easily the star player, mak- inS. eight of their points, and throwing several spectacular baskets from different places on the floor. McElrath and Watts as forwards, eacr made a basket. Both Hugley and AnGerton at guard, did good work.
 Fc. the home team, Harry Ask mqIe 12 points, Cleon Ask 10, and Ge-rg Rapuzzi s. Judd Mathews made two points. Dan Mckay, at gu.id, was largely responsible for holding the visitors score down.
