STREETS UNDER WAY

Strange-Maguire men have been
busy this week both at their head
quarters at the north end of Palmer
street and on the streets which will
soon be paved preparing for the actu-
al laying OF the paving.
The street, after being graded off, is
levelled and rolled smooth and bump
less. Then a layer OF fine sand is
scattered over it, with a small amount
of gravel. Larger gravel, mixed with
tar is then laid and rolled smooth and
well packed down. Another layer
OF this kind is added later and on top
of all layer of bithulitic material is
laid and rolled into the rest, which
makes a permanent and good surface
and completes the paving.
Machinery is used wherever It Is
possible in the paving work. The mix
ing OF the gravel and tar. the placing
on the street. and the rolling are all
done by specially prepared devices,
although assistance is needed from
man power to make these machines
run. The spreading OF the gravel even
" is done by men. also. II is an in
teresting process to watch and many
interested bystanders are found
wherever the PAYERS are working.

TEST WELL In ECKERT
DISTRICT MAKES SLOW
SHOWING FOR WEEK

Drilling in the Eckert district is
again progressing, running two shifts.
Considerable delay during the past
week has been necessary on account
of the strong flow of gas which has
been encountered.
The first showing of gas was en-
countered at about 700 feet and as the
drilling progressed the pressure be-
came stronger, and when at a depth
of $50 feet the flow was so strong as
to make drilling operations almost at
a standstill until the same could be
cased off. Some speculation as to
whether the gas is of the natural kind
or only a swamp gas, has not been
determined although the company has
taken every precaution in the way of
not allowing any smoking or even the
blacksmithing outfit to remain very
near to the well.
Operations up to last evening had
reached a depth Of nearly $50 feet.
This depth is now about 100 feet below
where the gas was first encountered.
The drill has been in a blue sand rock
for nearly 40 feet.
Operations from now on will be
watched with keen interest by every
body in this locality.
They are still using a ten-inch bit.
and will probably be able to continue
with this size hole for the remainder
Of the test.

the outstanding hurlers for the Sena-
tors, while Bentley and Nehf are re-
garded as the best bet for the Giants.

will be played at Washington, but at
time Of going to press the pitchers
have not been selected, and will not
be chosen until a short time before
the game.
