Show THE COALVILLE TIMES. COALVILLE. UTAH Home MOVING Tow Helps STOP TEARING UP STREETS engineers In England have recently complained against th wasteful practice ot tearing up pave ments just after they are laid In or der to repair or extend water or gas mains and electric conduits. The same prictice obtains generally In the United States, but a number of cities have adopted stringent rules which are working satisfactorily. In New York city, previous to the laying of a new pavement, the city departments and utility companies which have subsurface structures are notl fled and ordered to make such repairs, renewals and extensions as will care adequately for their service for several years to come. Thereafter per units for street opening are not grant ed for periods varying from one to three years, depending upon the necessity of the case and the condition ot the pavement. Tho standard period is three years in cose a great neces sity is not shown and the pavement is In good condition.' The pavement is restored under the eye of an inspector and is done with the very greatest of care, the backfilling material being placed in thin layers, carefully wetted and rammed. Moreover, the department or utility must do the work at Its own expense, and must, in addition, furnish a bond equal in amount to about double the cost of the pavement disturbed. The bond is forfeited in case the pavement settles or proves unsatisfactory in other respects. It has been proposed in a number ot cities to build tunnels for the various underground facilities, but after a careful investigation of the aubject in New York several years ago, an adverse decision was reached, the commission holding that the regulation above described lessens the nuisance consid erably and guarantees a satisfactory restoration of the pavement Engineering Record.

HENRY Apropos of the leading incident herein related, 1 will say that 1 waa never other than a theoretical sportsman. The only excitement 1 ever had, except getting enough to eat, was a love affair in my early twenties. The object of my affections waa s little brunette with more money than sentiment, and more brains than either. 1 had two rivals; Mr. Bosny, minister, whose physique, finances and prospects were light; Mr- - Meels. grocer, and whose prospects physique, finances heavy. When my ardor had reached the ' speaking point, I said: Madge, will you marry? "Yea," said Madge. "My darling, 1 murmured, "how 1 love you. Well, ahe murmured back, what of It? Why, we are going to be one, aren't we? "It appears to me that you are already non, she smiled. "Who is the other one? HOWLAND 'cfvSe. 'MORDc'HOPE v a v ' is.-- - V-1 vet - "You. Who? "You. "Me? "Yea, me I mean you! At last she understood. "Oh; Where are we all three going to live? You know, Mr. Bonny A horrible fear smote me. "Great heavens ! I cried, "is he going to marry you, too? averred "That's what he said, Madge. I swore. "Ill "He never shall! kill him like I would a a buffalo." I think Madge laughs too much sometimes. a The idea of you I'll tell you what Ill I'll marry the first one of you that a bufhehehalo!" M would rather Madge had accepted me in a more conventional manner, but suppressing all selfish consideration, I cried: "Done! and was off to challenge Bonny. He accepted readily. A week later found us camped in rethe then sparsely buffalo-settlegion of Colorado. The first day wc spent trying to get suggestions relative to buffalo hunting. These suggestions were discussed over our coffee that evening. Cowboys (all men west of the Mississippi were cowboys to him) are cowards, said Bonny. "1 asked one ot them If you were I where would you go to hunt buffaloes? Where 1 would be least likely to find them, h My good man, said L kindreplied. ly tell me how you do bring down a buffalo. He took another chew of tobacco and squinting one eye, t plied: T shoot them in their tracks. That is The best? (lace tot you to shoot a baffalo, young man, right In Its tracks, and the older the tracks are, the better. My own information had been more practical I had been told to lasso my baffalo and tie It to the nearest tree, w here I could shoot it without danger, "at least to the buffalo, my informant added absent mindedly. Unfortunately, 1 forgot my lasso the next morning and had to depend entirely upon my gun. 'While we lunched Bonny was ajv parently seized with an attack of delirium tremens. "Buffalo, buffalo! he shrieked, and danced about ? '? "A cluster ot them? 1 asked. "Qnly a solitaire, he shouted, "but It's mine, ' and mounting his horse he backed rapidly away, presumably to keep the buffalo In sight while he circled it Rival aa he was, 1 had to admit that it was the tactic of a brave man. As tor me, I bodly started toward the buffalo. I had gone but a short distance when I came to an old dug-ou- t which had partly filled, leaving enough Ingress for a man nearly half my size to crawl through. The animal, scenting danger, approached me. Fearing lest I frightenjt away, I got as far as 1 could Into the dugouL The buffalo came onTTls head lowered. Its tail furiously lashing at the files-on- , nntil It was within twenty feet of me! 1 slipped the rest of the way into the dugout, and though my heart beat like a sledge hammer, I coolly put my gun to my shoulder, braced myself firmly against the farthest wall, and with bated breath watched the majestic creature move slowly by and out of range of my gun. I panted to pursue, but found that it would require an hours work with my knife to enlarge the egrese sufficiently for me to get out When I did get out, the buffalo had escaped, and in the distance I beheld Bonny spurring his horse to full speed.' Bwas disgusted with Bonny. Why should he sit calmly on his horse within a mile of the buffalo, let It escape him, and then exhibit such trepidation because It had done .... W? . . - On the return 1 found s couple of men skinning buffaloes I bought a hide, went on and was first to reach camp. Pretty soon Bonny arrived. ' "Well? said he. "Well," said L . "What do you think of this? and he enrolled a fresh hide. ."I think yon ere about as smart as I am, I evasively answered. "Where did yon shoot your buffalo?" "Right In Its tracks! said Bonny.
