EXPECT TO BEGIN
PAVING BY AUGUST
NEW WATER MAINS WILL BE
PUT IN FIRST. BONDS WILL
BE VALIDATED JUNE 2.

1t is hoped to get the municipal
improvements for which bonds were
voted two weeks ago under construc-
ton within the next ninety days.
+, The first step will be the valuation
by the courts of the bond issue, and
official notice is published that this
will be done before Judge Worrill on
June End. The bonds will then be
advertised and sold to the highest bid
der, and contracts let for paving the
streets and extending the water works
system.
The work of improving the water
works by putting down new twelve
inch mains in the business section
will have to be done before paving
is begun. Forty thousand dollars will
be spent for the improvement and
extension of the water works.
The city will spend for street paw
ing 100000, which will be approx
mately one third of the total cost, as
abutting property owners on each
side will have to pay a third. 1t is
proposed to extend the payments of
property owners through a term of
years, so as not to make it burden
some to them.
The kind of material that will be
used for paving has not been decided
upon. 1t will be selected by the city
council and the Chamber of Com
merce.

HOW SCOUTS HELPED FRANCE.

A recent statement received at ma
tional headquarters of the Boy Scouts
of American by General Baden-PoWell,
head of the English scouts, contains
the following:
"The fighting is over at last, and the
scouts, whether from home or over
seas, have distinguished themselves
In noticeable proportion throughout
the war. Among the highest, three out
of General Haig's five army command
ers in France are scout commissioners
Sir Herbert Plumer, Sir William
Birdwood and Sir Julian Byng.
"While at Lille / heard of the pluck
of a boy scout during the German oc-
cupatioI No sooner had the German
staff received news by wireless as to
the progress of the war and events In
other countries than 1t was at once
known by all the inhabitants Of Lille.
IT'LL the time Of their departure the
Germans never discovered how the
news leaked out. AS soon as night fell
every evening this boy rugged up his
wireless apparatus on the roof Of his
home, received all the news that was
going and had 1t typed and commune
Gated to his friends. The apparatus
was all down and slowed away before
the day dawned."

QUAINT OLD CORNISH OWN
Picturesque ST. ives Graphically De
serlbed by Writer In a Chi
cage Newspaper.

Built close by the side of Its tiny
bay the little fishing town OF Saint
Ives huddles over the water. blend
ing into the rough gray Cornish land
scape. The tiny cottages jumbled
along the narrow, crooked streets are
built Of rough stone hewn from ma
tive rocks. The quaint old streets
themselves are paved with huge ir-
regular slabs of the same stone.
In the tiny, crescent-shaped harbor
the fishing boats rest at anchor dur
Ing the day, their tall bare masts,
stripped Of canvas, reaching upward
to the sky. Huge white gulls. Saint
Ives own birds, hover and futter
among the boats and over the water,
the murmur Of their hundreds Of
wings like the voice of the sleepy old
town.
BY the side of their cottage doors or
down by the piers the gruff, brown
fishermen sit and smoke, mendlng
their nets and telling tales CT the old
days when the pirates OF Saint Ives
were the terror Of the seas; old yarns
that their grandfathers old them, the
grandchildren will tell again. They
themselves are bits Of the scenery and
quaint Cornish atmosphere, grufr and
weather beaten, but kindly and gener-
ous. At night their tiny boats put out
to sea like a flock Of birds, and the
flsherman's working day begins.
The little town smells Of the salt
sea and OF the fish drying In each
spotless kitchen. Above each door
hang wet oilsklns and huge sec boots
the fisherman uniform. The aAr
often heavy with mIsts and fog, is new.
ertheless sweet and clean.
Above the old town built on orderly
modern terraces, the new st. Iyef
perches In arrogant disdnln OF Its hum
BILE sister at Its feet. But the littl'
town itself, supremely unconscious OF
disdain or interest, works on and gos

In the Balkan war, Epirus again
was a bone of contention, and, with
the defeat of Turkey, a part was re
turned to Greece, while another Sec

the newly horn principality OF Al

was made to find a ruler for the lit
tie monarchy, but after n bFtef ex

it again lnpsed into anarchy and since
then no member of European royalty
has sought the job of governing the
turbulent trll cs.
Again, In ne world war, 1t came
into prominence, and II Is considered
probable that the Greek claim t.

L-ondoners Opposed Bridge.

When the population Of London was
well over a million and It's houses lay
for miles on each side OF the river It
was apparently well content with one
London bridge. At length. In 1874,
Westminster was seized with the de
sire TO have a bridge Of its own. APP
plicatiOn was made TO parliament for
powers, only to encounter TIE iercest
opposition from the city, the 10000
watermen, the inhabitants Of South
wark, and the west country bargemen,
all of whom implored the commons to
protect them against this new enemy.
The result was that the bridge was not
built till 1850. Blackfrlars, at first
called Pitts bridge, was finished In
I769, at a cost of 100000, betrayed
by tolls. Waterloo was opened on the
second anniversary Of the great battle,
with great pomp by the prince regent
in person, accompanied by his royal
brother, the duke Of York, the duke Of
Wellington and many other distin-
guished persons
