ton, and nine-tenths of the people Of
Brooklyn Heights want it to remain
where it is and under the same manage
ment.
POLITICALLY SPEAKING.
The political pot is beginning to boil
and little and big caucuses are being
held, some in grocery stores, some in
saloons and innumerable numbers on
the curbstones. Fortunately the ninth
ward has plenty of good timber for
every office in existence, and there are
plenty of self sacrificing gentlemen who
will throw aside their business interests
in order to serve the dear
people. But the principal Office that
is now the "talk Of the town"
is that OF councilman. In point
of the availability of candidates the
Democrats have the advantage. On the
Republican side Rees and All. Workman
are already avowed candidates for the
nomination, while the Democrats
could select one of hundred who can
walk away with the honor. In Demo-
cratic circles the names most frequent.
ly mentioned for the position are Col.
John L. O'Bryan, Hon. M. V. Biscailuz,
John l.. White, Colonel Lambourn, Hon.
Joe Hyans and others. Biscailuz and
Hyans have each served the CITY in
that capacity and made excellent, wise,
judicious, and laborious public servants.
Colonel O'Bryan, Irwin and White
would, if elected, reflect credit upon
themselves as we'll as upon their con-
stituency. Either of the above named
gentlemen could carry the ward by re-
spectacle majority. @. A. Bell is being
urged by his friends to allow his name
to be used in connection with the nom
ination for one of the supervisors. and
should he consent, would, no doubt,
make formidable race.
D. W. Hudson, popular and strong
young Democrat of Brooklyn Heights
will be urged to become candidate as
delegate to the Fresno convention.
NOTES.
In no part of the city is the spirit of
improvement more prevalent than on
Brooklyn Heights. Its commanding
position attracts the attention of every
visitor, and whenever the buyers make
personal visit, they generally adopt
Abraham's motto, Here we rest," and
before many moons pale, new and
handsome residence looms up on some
high. rolling lot of Brooklyn Heights.
During the past six months large
number of new houses have been built.
and many more are now in course of
erection.

his cosy and modern tWo-story resi-
dence. Mr.. Williams is an enterpris-

many friends rejoice with him in his
fortunate venture.

decided improvements around his hand

Two oil wells are being bored on the
banks of the creek by capitalists, who

The dog poisoner, the chicken thief
and the burglar are making their ap-
pearance in this section of the moral
vineyard and seem to outwit our police
man. Several robberies are reported
during the last two or three nights. vet
no arrests have been made. Our citi-
zens are complaining considerably and
feel that they are being overlooked by
the police authorities.
1t is better to be born lucky than rich.
