Seven real nice young ladies went to

their own recognizance. The door
keeper was a real nice young man and

The boomers OF our esteemed fellow
citizen, ID. w. Matthias, are claiming
superior intelligence for him because
he says orchards should be grown on a
north slope. This is time worn and
recognized fact in horticulture. Pretty

run down hill and his boomers will an

1t is gwen out that Messrs. II. w.
Wilson and w. II. QConneli, the eoun
cilmen whose terms expire in March
will not be candidates for reelection,
nor will they accept of nomination. In
view of this fact, would it not be well
to call caucus to nominate candidates
to succeed them. Under the new law
nomination papers must be filed with
the recorder fifteen days before the
election, so that a caucus should be held
at least twenty days before. While the
old manner OK nominating the night
before election, without any call for q
caucus, has been attended,by no bad re-
suits, it has not been wholly satisfactory
A regularly called caucus offers to every
body free voice in the choosing of city
officers, and it is a privilege, the exer-
else of which all enjoy. 1t is under
stood that Mayor Hanna, Treasurer
Freeman, Assessor Walker and Record
er Freeman will all be passive candi-
dates for reelection. Messrs. Wilson
and OConnell have served acceptably
as councilmen and would be reelected
should they consent to run. Under any
circumstances a caucus should be held.
