In the third inniiiir the home nine

lege showed sixteen inches of snow,
which is probably the most that
has fallen at any one time during
the winter. Since Saturday the
weather has been more pleasant
and duriug the day the sun has
come out bright. The nights,
however, are cold and it will be
several days before all the snow is
melted, and it will likely be the
middle of next week before farmers
will be able to do any work iu the
field. Altogether the spring has
been very backward and farmers
are greatly delayed with their work.

the street car company or its em
iloycs would suifer no iiiconven
ence if they would accommodate
mtrous by picking them up at this
oint. St. Johns is certainly met
ropolitan enough to be allowed the
convenience of having the cars stop
at all street crossings within the
city limits. Iu fact, we believe the
crossing at the corner of Chicago
and Jersey streets is the only one
where the cars do not take oil pas
sengers.
PHONOGRAPHS
Oil the Biislncsi Streets.
Again we ask why would it
not
be a good plan to arrange for the
prinkliug or oiling of Jersey and
Burlington streets in the business
section? Already the dust has
become almost intolerable and
unless something is done it will
continue to annoy and iiiconven-
ence all 011 these streets. The
clouds of dust raised by each of the
incoming street cars is enough to
drive one to distraction, while the
constantly passing vehicles also do
Uieir share towards keeping the air
full of the powdered dirt. If the
matter of sprinkling is taken iu
laud before the hot weather sets iu
the result will le a thoroughfare i
lat will not annoy residents or
visitors. 1
