IMPROVEMEN r NEEDED
2? any people would be glad to have a
sidewalt across the rivrr attached to
the south s de of the r?ilroid bridge.
Why not get aSout it? if the railroad
men will give permission? It seems to
be a favorite walk by mauy of our
townspeople, as well as tourists, and
leads to some of our finest scenery, as
well as to Clark's ranch and green
houses, which are, in thtmselves, of in
terest to m \ny. A long tie for every
third or fourth tie iu the bridge, a
walk three feet wide with a railing
would cot mean a very heavy expense. ,
Why not call a mass meeting, appoint
a soliciting committee and see what
Skagwav would do for herself in the
way of this much needed improvement.

ONE HINT OF THE TROUBLE
THAT IS BREWING IN INDIA
Seven thousicd troops marched out
o' Peshawar one Thursday recently, to
begin operation# under Major-Geoeral
Sir J. Willcocks against the Zakka
Khel tr.be of Afridis, who have been
stirring up trojble on the northwest
frontier of India.
The troops moved toward All Musjtd,
which is at the entrance to the Bazar
valiey. The exposition is the first un
der Lord Kitchener's new system.
The Zikka Khcls inhabit in summer
the southern portion of the Maidan val
ley, in the Tirali, which was the scene
of the las: campaign again* Uhe Afridis.
In the winter the Z>kka Khels move
towards the Khvber. They are the
mo?l daring and treacherous of all the
Afridis, and in bill warfare are a for
midabte host. They can mustirr about
4000 fighting men.
Ia the campaign of 185)7 thev were
conspicuous for their attacks on rear
guards and for harrassing tactics gen
erally, and it was a party of these
tribesmen which cut up a detachment
of the Northampton regiment.
