The proposed road will\nbe constructed ou the hillside on\nthe west of the town. It will commence near the Alice Arm Hotel\naud traverse the entire hill joining\nup with the road of J. Strombeek,\nwhich connects with the flats near\nFalls creek.\nIn order to acquaint themselves\nwith the feasibility of constructing\na road the directors of the Alice\nArm Mining and Development Co.\nwho reside in Anyox spent the\nweek-end in Alice Arm.\nThey made an exhaustive exam-\nnation, accompanied by S. Dumas\nlooal agent of the company. The\ndirectors of the oompany making\nthe trip were J. Swanson, H. B.\nPorteous, N. Bloom. J. Richie and\nD. Evan's. Mrs. Bloom and Mrs.\nM. Eld also accompanied the\nparty.\nThe hillside on the west of the\ntown contains many choice building\nlots, but inaccessibility has been a\ndeterent faotor to building operations. As soon as a road has been\nconstructed the hillside will undoubtedly be dotted with picturesque residences. The contemplated road would be of great benefit to the town, for it would extend the residental district whioh\nis already getting congested, and\ngive those desiring an opportunity\nof residing at an elevated position\nabove the flats.\nAnyox Fire Destroys Houses\nA fire broke out yesterday morn\ning at 2 a.m. on the west side of\nthe smelter. It destroyed all the\nhouses in the restricted district\nwest of Lew Lull's store, and\nlatest reports yesterday stated that\nit had entered the timber and that\nthe water pipe lines of the hydroelectric plant and domesticsupplies\nwere in danger. The ground is\ndry as tinder and great vigilence\nwill be necessary to keep it from\nspreading.\nI ANYOX NOTES\n\u00E2\u0096\u00BA\u00E2\u0099\u00A6.\u00C2\u00AB.\u00C2\u00BB.\u00C2\u00AB'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\"'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"\" \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00AB'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6'\"\u00E2\u0099\u00A6 '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00AB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ,\u00E2\u0096\u00BA\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nP.
