TREADWELL TOPICS. I
A large consignment of freight for;
Tread well, cs well as a big batch of j
mail, arrived on t he Cottage City last
Sunday.
Mr. L. J. Braner, of the Treadwell |
machine shop, leaves on the Cottage j
City touighc, for his former home in!
Tacoma.
Mr. Geo. Chaffee, late of the machine
shop, is now tilling the position lately ;
vacated by Mr. D. L. Rood.
The steamer Leelanaw is in port.
The work on the Erdal residence is
progressing very rapidly. The frame
is up, the rustic and shingles on, and ;
the structure is beginning to assume
quite an imposing appearance.
Mr. Henry Davidson, night janitor of:
the Treadwell club, lately received
tho news of the illness of bis wife, who
was expected here very soon. Word
has siuce been received of au improve
ment in health.
John Dwyer was adjudged insane by j
Judge Folsom last week, and is to be !
committed to the Mt. Tabor sanitarium.
Mr. Dwyer has been employed at Tread
well in various capacities for tho last;
three years and for some time past it J
has been apparent thut his mental j
faculties were becoming deranged. Tho
unfortunate man is unmarried, and his
nearest relative is a brother, living in
Ireland.
What might have been a very dis
astrous fire but for the prompt atten- j
tion it received, broke out last Sunday
morning, just above the coal bunkers
in the Mexicau mill. It is supposed to j
have started from sparks from the
blasksmith's forge. A hole was burned
iu the roof, and in a few minutes more

rnauage* Almost immediately after the
alarm was sounded, the fire department I
was on hand and in full control of the
situation. The salt water pumps were .
used iu extinguishing the blaze, also
streams of fresh water from the hyd-j
rants. Very little dammage was done.
The new fire department has had plenty
of chances to show their mettle this
spring and so far they have been very
successful in their efforts.
Mr. aud Mrs. W. W. Sborthill were;
made happy by the arrival of a fine boy
on last Friday morning. Both mother '
and son are iu the best of health.
A large number of Treadwell folks
attended the farewell reception given j
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. David Rood
by the Rebekahs last Saturday evening. |
The event took place in the Odd Fel
lows' hall at Douglas, aud a most social
time was enjoyed by all. Mr. aud Mrs.
Rood will leave for their home in Ore- j
gon on the Jefferson next Friday.
Their many friends unite in wishing
them continued prosperity and success.
Bids for the construction of a C-foot
plank walk from the Treadwell Club to
the Ready Bullion mill, are being called I
for by the city of Treadwell. No bids
will be considered of later date than
May 20. The walk will folio .v the outer j
Hue of the railroad track and will be
furnished with a railing on the exposed
edge toward the water. This improve
ment will be much appreciated by those
who live in tbo vicinity, and who are
now obliged to walk the railroad track
to got home, and will also, no doubt, be
a favorite resort of pedestrians and
those who are fond of the bracing sea !
breezes which blow in from the channel, j
There is no excuse for staying in-1
doors now with all the splendid walks
which have recently been built on
Douglas Island.
AT THE CLUB.
The board of directors of the Tread
well Club held a meeting last Monday
evening, and, among other things de
cided to leave the library room open
to the public at all times. Instead of
books being secured from the janitor,
as heretofore, a system of checking by
slips written by the applicants will be ;
adopted, somewhat similar to the sys
tem used in the old club building. This !
| will save time and trouble for all par-!
; ties concerned.

The Douglas Public School closes
j today. Tomorrow the school children
j and the teachers will hold their grand
