aome time, but it haa now ceased. It
was all done without the knowledge of
the . county clerk, and when, that "Of

However, as the leaflet Is In circula
tion. It Is wan to call attention to aev-
eral proposed changes which It design
edly falls to mention. - Stir the wood
pile, and the St hlaptana troop out in
regular procession.
Tlrst The amendment would permit
the wholesaling of liquors In communi
ties In which a majority of the vottrs
declsre for prohibition. . ; ' '.
Second It "would ' confine the sub
mission of local option to general elec
tion aays.
I The street committee of the etty ex
ecutive board recommended:' yesterday
afternoon to the board that the Warren
Construction company - and. Mas D.
Welle- ba awarded contracts for laying
a bltullthle pavement on Hplladay ave
nue from Larrabee atreet east for s
dlstahce of 14 blocks. The former com
pany was lowest bidder on six blocks
foe- l.7t-aiMl the latter on eight
blocks for ltt,8T, making the cost of
the proposed pavement !4S,Stl.
The contractors have . been attempt

years. On four occaslona . proceedings
