WORK ON SEWARD
 PENINSULA B. R. NOT
 LIKELY THIS YEAR

When interviewed by represen- tative of the Nugget. Captain Ward of the Federal Road Commission stated that he had received no direct information from his superior rela- tive to the final purchase of the Seward Peninsula Railroad. If within d few hours he still is with out direct information he will wire to Col. Steese as to existing condi- tons captain Ward frankly stat es that if the purchase has been completed he will advise no work this season for the reason that any work done so late in the season will srnar during the cold winter months. He feels that the proper rim7 is to begin in the spring and carry the work to completion in one period rather than doing the work oiecemeal.

Peninsula Railroad, and appropriat- ing the money to pay for the same.
 The long delay in consumating the purchase, as authorized by the legislature. has worked a very great hardship upon the miners in the Kougarok district and along the line of this road, as the road has for the past two seasons been practically impossible.
 Now that the road has finally been transferred to the Territory we feel certain that the Federal Board of Road Commissioners will carry out the further provisions of the act of the legislature and "place the said Railroad. road bed and track in good condition for transpor tation of passengers and freight and operation as public tram and high way"

GASOLINE PUMP
City Council Discusses Value Of
Such Measure, Also Tax Up
on Near-beer Bars.

Licenses for near-beer bars and
for gasoline pumps in service sta
tions were discussed at yesterdays
meeting of the Rock Island city
council. The tentative plan of
assessing s25 license fees on each
of these branches of retail trade
was allowed to stand. Ordinances
to this effect will probably be con-
sidered at next weeks meeting.
The fees in these two instances
will be mainly to provide for in
spection of gasoline pumps and
bars at stated intervals. The gaso-
line pumps demand inspection from
time to time to regulate their ac-
curacy, safety, etc. Cognizance
was taken in council meeting of
the fact that especially in summer
healthful conditions are both neces-
sary and hard to maintain about
near-beer saloons.
At present all soft-drink bars are
charged So for their licenses.

Hundred and forty-seven wears

Revere had bestowed on him by his
daring trip, to many il means only

To keep these patriotic stories and
dates in the memory of American
citizens, a booklet. Lest We For

to Theodore Roosevelt post, Chica-
go, not to be commercialized, but to
inform and remind the people
of the sacred obligation to
forefathers. OF Paul Revere, the
pamphlet says.
Paul Rever was one of the or
gaEizers of the Massa chusets Min
ute Men, so called because each
was always ready to act at a min
ute's notice.
"On the evening of April Is, 1775,
Revere learned that British troops
were moving from barracks and
ships to capture the great patriot
leaders at Lexington and Concord.
seize supplies, and thus nip in the
Bud the hopes of the colonies for
independence.
Revere crossed from Boston to
Charleston by boat, mounted a
horse, and either lodging or dash
ing through several enemy patrols,
galloped through the night, hating
at each farm house and rousing the
minute men who hurried after him
to Lexington.
There, the following day, was
fired the shot heard round the
world at the battle of Lexington
There the first American blood of
the Revolution was shed, and the
war that established cur iudepen-
dence was on. Had the patriot
leaders been captured, the Amer
lean revolution might never have
occurred. Revere saved the day.

ASK THAT HALF
Streets HAVE
NAMES ALTERED
@Halr Designation Confuses Car.
riers and Troubles Addressers;
Suggests New Plan.

Postmaster Harry P. Simpson az
companied by Assistant Postmaster
Oliver p. Olson, Superintendent of
Mails f. S. Brough, and Cashier
Edward L. Strate, appeared before
the council yesterday, to renew the
suggestion of six years ago, that
fractional designations of streets
and avenues be abolished, primarI-
ly in the interest of the postal ser
vice, but seconGarily as the desig-
nations constitute a misnomer
The postmaster explained that on
| his former appearance before the
council he had merely by way of
suggestion, called attention of the
municipal BODY to the fact that half
streets and avenues in many of the
larger cities are known as courts"
and places" but at that time there
was objection to this proposition,
and he suggested yesterday that
the least" and south" prefix be
adopted. For instance, Fourteenth
and-a-half street would be known
as East Fourteenth street, the
same applying to all half streets
running north and south, and the
half avenues would be changed
to south For instance, South
Eighth avenue" in place of
Eighth-and-a-half avenue, and
South Eighteenth avenue" in
place of Eighteenth-and-a- ave
nue., etc.
This would in no way deprive the
streets of their names, and would
not in any way involve the chang
ing of house numbers, but would
merely mean that the signs at the
intersections be relettered, as the
case might be.
Present Way Confusing.
Confusion very often occurs, the
postmaster Stated, in letters being
addressed to half streets and half
avenues, and this means of half
numbering in cities is very uncom-
mon. People are apt to leave off
the half" and then the letters are
tried at the regular named street
before they reach the street with
the fraction attached. Further
more, he stated that the half street
or avenue is likely to create the I'M
preston of being more of an alley
or lane, than a street, which is
hardly fair, as some of the most
beautiful streets and avenues IN
the city, have fractional designa-
tons
The prefix of the word east to
the street or south" to the avenue
would do away with this and expe-
dfte delivery of mail The post
master explained that he talked
the matter over recently with peo-
pie interested who were originally
opposed to the court" and place"
designations, and in each instance
they had assured him that the pro-
posed arrangement would be salts
factory.
The suggestion was considered
without comment by the council,
which in general seemed to favor
the plan. 1t will be put in the
form of an ordinance this week and
brought up for formal considera-
ton next Monday.
