CAHUENGA.
A Movement in tho Interest of Pro-
Gress.

gress.
CAHUENGA, Oct. 17.-It Is announced that
citizens OF Cahuenga valley will hold NEE t.
ing at the Pass school house Saturday evening,
October 21st. at 1880 o'clock, to organize a
township association. The purpose of the or
ganization is to promote the general welfare of
that enterprising community. Cahuenga
township, with a population of about 5000,
has no local government. In redistricting the
supervisoral districts last year, Cahuepga
township was tackled onto one of the Los An :
geles city districts, aud thus acquired a repre-
sen.ation t?)i the board Of supervisors, for
two years to come, without any voice in the
choosing.
The Cahuenga people are heavily taxed, as
lands out that way are rated high, and tney
have q natural curiosity to know what becomes
of the money pail in.
Cahuenga, like many other parts of the coun-
try, feels the necessity for better roads. and it
Is belisved that an organization such as ia pro-
posed can DO much toward bringing about
reform In the present syBtem of road work
There are many matters OF public interest
which may very properly be discussed and
acted upon by the people of a community like
Cahnenga, and it is expected that much inter
est will be taken in the movement to be inaug-
urated next Saturday.

New York Evening Post. that the den

what was called ''arracheurs de dents, -
or tooth drawers, who had chairs on
the Champs Elysees, in which they ex-
tracted teeth in the presence of large
crowds. 1t was the popular belief
that, in order to support their procla-
nation that the opera tion was pain

that he went recently to a dentist in a
small town to get relief from tooth
ache. The operator had been highly
recommended to him as very skillful.
When he saw him, however, he recog-
