IT KM Hi
Yesterday morning, according to I
schedule, the committee appointed at t
thy meeting of a few nights ago to visit <
the ground on the west side of the river I
to report upon its availability as a I
cemetery, took the trip through the s
snow and are ready to report when
called upon. Nearly the entire com- .
mittee made the trip. Nearly all are i
convinced that no other grounds in the i
vicinity of the city are to b? compared 1
to this site from every point of view.
Thu trip was made by way of Sixth <
avenue and up the Rulch from the i
other aide of the river. All present, <
and especially tl.o;e who were not <
previously familiar with the grounds, i
were loud in their pra se of the beauty i
of the loc it on. hich ground th?t it It I
md commanding ? view over the town
ind far down tbe Canal. With a bridge
>ver the river at Sixth avenue or vicin
ity, it would, they say, form a standing
nvitation for visitors, especially in
tummt r.
The only question is lhat of cost. Dr.
I. H. Watson, who was of the party,
hinks the road will cos't not le?s than
i thousand dollar* exclusive of the
jridge.
Dr. Brawand, chairman, will not
sail the meeting, howevor he says,
until opportunity may be had for an
)ther visit to the ground when the
mow is gone. Some question is raised
ilso, as to grades by which tbe grounds
nay bj reached, and this will be de
:ermined at a late meeting.
PIONEER ? III HUM
STORY OF THE WANBERIN6S OF LOUIS CANTO. WHO IS STILL MISSING
Mr. W. H Warrett ?ay? nothing fur
ther has been heard of Louis Canio,
who disappeared from his camp the day
after Christmas. He says Canto has
had a career as a knight of the brake
beam that surpasses that of Jack Lon
don; for while London was pinched at
Saratoga and had to serve a term in the
Erie county penitentiary, Canto has
covered vastly more ground, officially
uodetalned and without paying a cent
for fare.
According to bit account, aa given
Mr. Warrett, he left Naples, Italy,
three or four yeara ago, made his way
to New York city, then from one place
to another till he reached San Francis
co. After a brief stop there he pushed
eastward along the Southern Pacific.
In New Mexico, Arizona and Texas he
found the distance between stations
very long, as frequently he was abliged
to walk from one to the next. At El
Paso he crossed the Rio Grande, and on
the Mexican Central got a* far south
as the City of Mexico. He then turned
north, reached New York City a second
time; then rode the brakebeatu to Se
attle, passenger trains and fast freights
given the preference. On the boats he
has sometimes had to shovel coal, but
he got as far north as Fortymile.
There he engaged to cut cord wood,
fixed up a cabin, had an outfit fur
nished him and started on the work, for
which he was to receive $300 when
completed; but one day he took a no
lion to start south, and left work, cabin
and provisions. He made his way to
Skagway, where, as stated, after fish
ing with Joe Kapuzzl for a couple of
months he went to Mr. Marrett's camp.
From thsre, although he was apparent
ly quite happy and pleased with the
prospect, be has disappeared. Mr.
Marrett has no idea that he has been
kidnaped, but be believes it not unlike
ly that the man's roving disposition has
got him into trouble this time, a* the
walking is not good down the shore of
the carjal.
The splendid sleighing condition ex
isting yesterday brought out a number
of rigs of every character from the
horse cutter to the single dog sled, and
the streets of the city rang merrily
from early morning to late at night
with bells and laughter.
The merriest party on the road was
that conducted by Mrs. D. M. Culbert
son, a largo two-horse affair crowded to
the guards with femininity. The driver
called at the home of first one and then
another until tho load was made up,
and then took in all the drives about
town. Following mado up the party
finally:
Mr*. D. M. Culbertson, Miss Miriam
Culbertson, Mrs. ?. L. Miller, Miss
Laura Doerrer, Mrs. Matthew Bridge,
Mrs. S. C. Orchard, Mrs. Tad Hlllery.
Mrs Geo. Blanchard, Mrs. DeGruyter,
Mrs. G. II. Howard, Mrs. Carroll. Mrs.
F. B. Wurzbacher, Mrs. C, Pugh, Mrs.
P. H. Ganty, Miss Olive Springsted,
Mrs. L- S. Keller. Mrs. G. H. Miller.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lynch were out
with a two-horse team, carrying as
guests Mr. and Mis, Black and Lieut.
S. C. Orchard and wife, Mrs. Orch trd
later finishing her ride with the Cul
bertson party.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Royal were out i
in a double bob sled with Mrs. Stanish
and the Misses Llddicoat.
Herb Taylor and wife were out with
a single cutter.
There were a number of dog teams, i
notable among them being Yeoman's
wolf and dog working together, Pete
Matsen with hit Gladys in harness and
others.
Old timers say that not within their
recollection has there been such a
period of sleighing as at present; that
never before has snow laid so long
that while there has been snow plenti
ful enough, it has always heretofore
been accompanied by wind to carry it
away. The most is being made of the
white carpet.
