The bill which was offered last week
to virtually legislate out of office Dairy
Inspector George w Mcclure has a poor
prospect of becoming a law, as is gem
orally understood. Mr.. MCGUIRE himself
says ne has no apprehension as to the
future with regard to his office. He
to the best of his ability and believes
he has given satisfaction in the per-
Torrance of his duties. He says while
and never has been. Politics has moth
ing whatever to do with his office. Gen

and ever since he has retained the same
staff, which consists of four Republic
cans and three Democrats.
The Rev. George H. Maddox, chaplain
of the State Prison, was somewhat fur
ried during the week when he read a re-
was being made to have him removed
from office. He says his position as chap
lain has no specified term, and-as he had
performed his duties very satisfactorily
so far, he has no fear that Governor
Griggs will give him his walking papers.
He is at a loss to know the naInes of
the dominies whe want his PLACE: The
truth is, there is some opposition to
Mr.. Maddox, but it is not believed to
be strong enough to deprive him of the
chaplaincy.
