Fight for a Position

The annual fight for the position of
county physician is on. The first gun
fired is the petition of DR.. W. Thompson,
ex-coroner. which has been fl led with
the board of supervisors, and others are
on the way.
1t is just year ago that the board of
supervisors occasioned q shake-up at the
hospital. Without any preliminaies they
suddenly gave things twist October l,
and when matters settled down once more
it founc DIR. a. Thompson OF Cotton in
charge, with W. NJ. Tibbot as assistant.
The Erst of the month brings the close
OF DR.. Thompson year of service, and
whether he will control votes enough to
be elected is a question in which not
only he, but sundry other candidates are
interested.
But the position held by Assistant W.
NJ. Tibbot is one which is being closely
watched. Two months ago DR.. Thorn pson
recommended that the place be discon-
tlnued, on the score of economy, which
finds an echo in the board of supervisors,
but by the time Tibbot had his forces in
line the board suddenly became extrava-
CANT and decided to continue the place
Tor two months. and tossed economy to
the winds.
the situation which made it possible
for DIR Thompson to recommend the dis
continuance of the place was this: A few
months ago graduate of the Los An
geles Medical school came to the hospital
to act as an inferno, serving without pay.
and ne assumed large part of the work
formerly done by the assistant.
This matter will also come up at the
first meeting in October, and, all in all en-
ough is in sight to make that occasion
interesting.

Still Stirred Up

PASADENA. Sept. 19.--La Canada val
ley is still stirred up over school matters.
the controversy being upon the same sub
ject that caused the differences OF some
months ago, when the election for school
trustees occurred. 1t will be rem bered
that at that time matters were taken out
of the hands of the real patrons OF the
school, and the younger element of the
place, under the leadership of young
man who had interested himself in the
schoolma' am, by the use of all the Mexi-
can votes they could scare up, managed
to put IN their candidate for trustee and
thus retained the schoolma am whom the
real patrons of the school did not want.
All the men who sent children to the
school, with one or two exceptions. voted
for the candidate who was defeated by
the Mexican votes, and they were highly
indignant at the course things had taken.
During the summe the young lady has
been apprieed of the fact that the patrons
of the school were not satisfied with the
choice of the trustees and communica-
ton was addressed to the county superin-
tendent to tse same effect, but all he
could do was TO lay the matter before the
schoolma am, which he did, without eff
feet, however. She opened school last
Monday with an attendance of six of the
former public school pupils, four of these
from the same family, while a private
school recently started by the former pa
irons of the public school has twenty-one
pupils.
