Editor Herald:-As q daily reader OF

grant space for few lines to the high

or evil, yet am told that when approached
on the subject OF the great health-destroy-
ing nuisance in our valley. the far-famed
Niger slough. they bid the supplicant to
get out, and never mention the subject
again. Is this what they were elected
and suffer all the tortures OF the damned

luxury. take an outing occasionally for
their enfeebled health. smoke fine cigars
at the expense OF the very people who are

Painting Contractors, Attention

Regarding the cali that is here append
ed further inquiries should be addressed
to J. H. McWilliams, 513 West kNinth
street:
A call is hereby issued to all painting
contractors who wish to rescue the paint
ing trade from the degraded condition
into which it has fallen. to meet at room
81, southeast corner OF Second and Main
streets. on Monday night. August 18th.
The Indifference OF citizens as to the dec.
orative treatment which their beau
tiful homes and business blocks receive at
the hands of cheap, unskilled painters is
a reflection on their business sagac;ty. 1t
is bidding for rascality to allow men who
ignore architects specifications to shut
out nonest contractors who want to do
good work and pay living wages. The
work of the painter is the art OF preserv-
ing ana beautifying. Buildings once
spoiled can never be remedied, except by
completely removing the ruinous ma ieri-
ais. We, the resident painters of Los An
geles, ask the approval of owners and
architect. in this effort to protect the
trade. and thus insure high class of
work at fair prices.

"cup MIDSUMMER NUMBER"

Our morning contemporary, the Times.
issued its midsummer number yesterday
morning. To say that the issue was q
creditable one would not convey q proper
idea of its worth. 1t was an issue which
reflects great credit upon the Times-Mir-
ror company. the artists and the writers
employed; and what is better. it can be
classed as one of the things Of which Los
Angeles may be proud. Th midsummer
issue of the Times stands pre- .eminently
as the best, the most comprehensive and
complete OF all efforts to present the re-
sources Of Southern California in a single
issue of a newspaper. In this respect the
Times must bear the palm until The
Herald eclipses it in later edition.
