- y COMMUNICATED.


AsRrOPOsed New Industry.
Mr.. EdHor: We doubt if it is
generally known that we are to have
in our midst new enterprise which
should be made of great Importance
to the farming portion Of our COM
munity. We refer to the establish
ment, at Mount Lake Farm, Of a
creamery, equipped with all the mod
ern appliances, such as seperators,
churns and butter workers, and in
which will be employed a competent
butter maker to manufacture the gilt
edge butter for which the creameries
of our state are SO we'll and justly
known. In personal interview with
Mr.. Miles, the owner, the writer
learned that it was his original inten-
ton only to put in plant sufficient
to work up the milk Of his own dairy
of so cows, but that he had been ap-
preached by other large dairymen in
the vicinity, namely, the Messrs.
Marsh Of Andover, who were anxious
that he should enlarge his plant to
handle the milk from their IS COWS,
which they intend to milk the coming
season. He expressed a willingness
to do so, and the object Of the writer
is to call the attention of our farmers
to the fact that now is the time for
them to take hold of the matter and,
if possible, induce Mr.. Miles to still
farther enlarge his plant to an extent
that would handle the milk from a
large number of our farms.
We all know of the intrinsic value
it would be to us judging from the
value the creameries have been
wherever else esta blished in our state,
and l for one say let's not lose our
chance het take hold Of it at once
and make any necessary move before
the gentleman has SO far matured his
plans, as to make it too late for us,
and induce him to SO enlarge his
plans as to take care of all our daires.
l could go on and dilate on the ad.
vantages of the sweet skim milk tc
us in it's feeding value for our hogs
and young stock, of the increased
productiysness of our land, which
would, thereby, be brought about but
that is well known to all. We coulC
show by statistics of the returns tc
the farmers for their butter and Of
the advantages which the creamery
butter has over the dairy made, but
that has been shown over and ovel
again by our agricultural reports and
papers from these sections where
creameries are located, but | think
do see the opportunity for our farm.
ers, right here in this vicinity, tc
place themselves in the same pros
porous condition in which they are in
other sections, and our farms in bet
ter condition and less of them fol
sale. Now in conclusion can't an or.
ganized move be made among us to
secure this result! Let's call meet
ing and discuss it and strike while the
IRON is hot for us. Let's hear from
others on the subject and see if We
can't create little enthusiasm oyel
it, and give US something to think
about and prepare for during oul
long winter coming.

The only permanent cure for chronic
catarrh is to Thoroughly expel the poison
from the system by the faithful and per-
sistent use OF Ayers Sarsaparlla. This
wonderful remedy proves successful
when all other treatment has failed to re-
lieve the sufferer.

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, H., writes
that he had Severe Kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affected.
He tried many so called Kidney cures but
without any good result About year
ago he began use of Electric Bitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters is
especially adapted to cure of all Kidney
and Liver troubles and often gives almost
instant relief. One trial will prove our
statement. Price only soc. for large

The New Ordinance to Be

ABOUT JANUARY THE FIRST

The Board Of Public Works nakes Important
Recommendations Wrong and Right
Kind of Milk at County Hospital

An ordinance COM letely overhauling
the salaries of the subordinates in the
various municipal departments is to be
passed by the council about the first OF
the year. 1t will be- introduced and
fatherei by the snancs committee. Pres
ident Tsed gave notice some time ago
that he would at the proper time intro
duce the necessary resolution for the pur-
pose, and he intends to do so just as soon
after the beginning of the new year as
possib BILE, which is the latter part OF No.
VENT Der.
The last salary ordinance was adopted
early in 1898, since which time Is has
been amended until the original act Is
now nothing but skeleton. The law OF
1898 provided in its provisions the salaries
of every municipal department. Since
its passage. however the pay of the
police and FIRE de partment and nearly
every clerk about the city hall has been
tempered and tinksred with until the IN
tent of the act is the only thing left OF it.
There are CLERKS at present employed
by the city who re paid SO month
whose work does not differ excepung in
unimportant details from that of men
who draw $50 a month. The sanitary in
spectors attached 10 the board OF health.
for instance. are paid $50. They are on
duty some times ten aud twelve hours
a day, while police officers who work
always in eight-nour watches, receive
So. 80 month. The clerks in the Office
of the superintendent of streets receive
from $75 to $50 a month, VIII lie the one
clerk en- ploysd ny Engineer Compton is
pad $50. The adui,or mas two clerks at
$50, while the clerks in the assessors
Office are paid 500. The CLERKS in the tax
collectors office are paid $50. all but the
chief clerk, who receives SIS. The city
CLERKS deputies are paid so, $50. $40 and
$50 respectively, while the treasurer's
deputy is paid $50.
The proposed new ordinance will, it is
given out, fix all clerical salaries at $50
and make the pay of the sanitary in
spectors SIS a month.

IT IS GETTING VERY WARM
Several Rival Undertakers Have {

Propositions to Furnish the City With Am.

The Latest

The contest between the several rival
undertaking firms as to which shall be
permitted to do the city's ambulance
work is gradually reaching fever heat.
Kregelo IL Bresee first had a handsome
$500 wagon built expressly for the pur
pose. the firm maxim: proposition to
turn its am bulance over to the city for
use free OF charge. This started C. D.
Howry, and the latter proposed not only
to furnish an ambulance but also a
thoroughly equipped morgue for nothing
kregelo Bresee have now gotten their
second wind, and yesterday the firm
filed with the city clerk the following:
Whereas Tnere have been one ror mo ore
propositions presented to your honorable
body Of similar nature to the one
verbally made to you through your
finance committee OH Monday, October
18th, by Mr.. c. +. Kregelo; we therefore
wish to place before you a written state
ment of the proposition then made.
Whereas, We all recognize the need
of an ambulance in the city. the work
properly coming under the head OF am bu-
lance work having been up to the present
time done with patrol wagon: there
fore, in cor sideration of the privileges
usual under such conditions, we mako
the following propositions:
First-That we will furnish free of
charge to the city one of the best and
latet am balances made in the United
States, which will be ready on call either
day or night. to do the am bulance work. OF

Second-That we will furnish without

THE FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Romanticism Versus Realism the Sub.
ject Discussed
Mrs. Margaret G, draham's Paper Is Read
Before q Large and Appreclative
Assemblage-A Synopsis

1.-THE usual large assem- blage gathered at
the Fri.ay Morning club rooms yester-
day, the topic being Romanticism VS..
Realism. Miss Collier read paper from
Mrs. Margaret L. Graham on this sub
ject. Mrs. Graham said:
Because two things are different they
are not necessarily at war, and yet the
critics would appear at times to believe
that the revival OF romanticlsn means
the death of realism. The truth Is, ro-
manticism has never been dead; the stock
in trade of the romantic writer has never
fallen into disuse. they have changed
hands, but have always been in lively ex-
ercise among US. Human lite is prosaic
and romantic, and romance Inay be
treated as realistically as the sternest
realist requires; all we want is to avoid
the false, the unreal to have all literature
ring true and not counterfeit. The real
intruder is the one who is false TO art !;
is he 7ho prstends to write OF life and
writes OF art. All the harm OF fiction has
been done by Its falsity, not by its truth.
The so.called romantic novels have been
kept alive oy the realism that pervades
them all.
That a great uany people are reading
DOCK 0OeS not insure lts survival tDdt
a great many people enjoy 1t argues little
for its permanency; who the people are
and what and how they enjoy it are far
more i'm Important. That all the world has
read a book means little but that all the
world reads book means much. AS for
romanticlsm, there is about as much as
much danger OF Its orowding realism out
of fiction as there is of the SOFA foun-
tain putting an end to the use OF pure
water.
Thomas Hardy's writings were inter
estingly handled by Mrs. H. B. Wi G.
Mrs. J. F. Waterman took Anthony Hope
for her subject and Miss Frances Graft,
Hall Game. A discussion followed the
reading of the papers. Mrs. Densmore,
who has exerted her time and energy in
behalf of Mrs Maybrick of England, was
in the audience and asked to express her
opinion on the subject of the morning.
but declined on the ground that her
thoughts had been too much engros sed
with the zeal of life to enter into the dis
cussion. A brief and very delightful talk
from Mr.. Colville pertinent to the subject
Of the morning concluded the meeting.

BUDD AND THE SEVENTH
Companies From Abroad Are Ordered
Here
They lust Pay Their Own Expenses While
Officially Attending billiards.
Funeral

Governor Budd has ordered out the
ry of the National Guard to act as an es-
cort to the remains of the late Lieuten-
ant-Governor S. G. Milla.d. OF the seven
companies comprising the organization,
thren are located at Los Angeles. one at
Pasadena and one each at Ventura, Santa
Paula and Ansheim. Every company
is expected to pay its own subsiste nee
and transportation, looking to the next
legislature for rel endorsement.
The order yesterday created great
deal of CONSERVATION. The trip from and
back to Ventura will cost every man in
| CONF any at least S., with the Santa
Paula and Anaheim uen being taxed in
proportion Some of the men may refuse
to come and then there will be complica-
tions which in a matter like the present
one ought not to arise.
The following general order has been
issued by Colonel Shrieber, commanding
the Seventh regiment:

companies A. B, and twill assem- BILE in

services of the late Lieutenant Governor
s. G. Willard. No excuse for absence will
be SLOWED.
Shredder is too good a soldier to do
anything but obey orders, hence the pro-
visso in tie above that no excuse will be
allowed. The colonel received the cover
nor's commands through General F. A.
Last and Adjutant-General Barrett, who
is now here. He was adverse to bringing
the outside companies here without pay
and suggested that the local com panies and
the one from Pasadena might suffice for
the occasion, but the governor refused to
allow his personal arrangements to be in
terfered with.
Budd left San Francisco yesterday and
is due here this afternoon to remain over
Spndav
