New Fire Alarm Boxes.


The attention of our citizens is
called to the fact that several new
fire alarm boxes have recently been
purchased and put up in Austin.
Several of the old boxes have been
differently located so as to be of
greater convenience in case of fire.
Box No. 81 has been moved from it's
position on Oak street to corner Hope
and Elm streets. No. 30, a new box,
has been placed on the corner of Rail-
way and Collins streets. Box "a has
been moved from the corner Of Main
and College streets to the corner. of
Franklin, and Winona. A new box,
No. %, has been located at the corner
of Main street and Oakland Avenue.
A new box, No. %, will be located near
the city hall. No. 81, on the corner
Of Kenwood avenue and Bridge street,
has been moved across the street.
No. IL remains at the corner Of Main
and Mill streets. No. II will be
located on the corneg Of High and
Nassau streets. ~ -
Two more alarm boxes will prob
ably be purchased, one to be located
in the Third ward, across the Milwau-
kee tracks. ,..
| This new. arrangement of alarms
will be great improvement to the
city's protection against fire and will
enable the fire department. to get to a
fire in much less time than heretofore.
To assist, the firemen, persons
should remem ber to remain at box
after they have turned in an, alarm,
until the fire department arrives, SO
as to direct the fremen to the fire.
Anyone Wishing a key can get one OF
the city recorder for thirty-five cents.

subject of thought, consequently all

faithful and devoted mother, she
thought no self-denial nor sacrifice
too great for the education Of her
children:
Being of retiring disposition she
shrank from the claims of society,
and was best known and loved in the
home Teu-years ago the twelfth Of
last September, her life companion
preceded her to the heavenly home,
since which time she has seemed
to be- more of heaven than of earth.
And so the years went on until one

This Is the last week OF the union
revival meetings, the closing services

terest has been steadily deepening
and the results while otyet ready for
just estimation will be excellent. One
OF the best discourses yet given was
on Friday evening when the crowded
audiences was made to see so clearly
that the run of common excuses for
not leading life OF. righteousness by
faith in Jesus Christ are tlimsy and
weak. The boys and girls meeting
Friday afternoon was the largest and
most effective yet held. A mems
meeting was held at the Congrega-
tional church Sunday evening and the
thought of freedom through Christ
was most effectively presented. An
other mems meeting was held at the
opera house last evening, the subject
being the Leprosy of Sim" Another
mems meeting will probable be held
at the opera house on Friday evening.
The bible readings are at ten O'Clock
every forenoon at the Congregational
church.: and the evening services are
also at the same place. Every service
is rich opportunity for our people.

Better Than Mexico Scale ol
Prices Around Santa Barbara. I.

Better Than Mexico Scale of
. Prices Around Santa Barbara. 81
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT -
I have been. much interested in
your vivid pen pictures and interest
ing account OF life and conditions ia
old Mexico. AS far as my observation
goes it is true to life. The Mexican
will not work If he can live without
it,, he thinks it's so strange chat
Americans will work, when they can
live without work. I think it is the
fault Of their bringing up. They are
taught to think it is not honorable to
work, let the menial and the poor
work, their style is gay and happy to-
day with no thought Of tomorrow,
yet to their credit l will say have
never seen Mexican tramp. If they
can't get enough to eat they will go
without; they are too proud to beg.
OF course here they are fast becoming
Americanized and some of the finest
dressed ladies at the theatre are
Spanish, but the Mexican and his
language will soon be a thing of the
past in California. It may be of
interest to your readers to know the
scale Of wages paid in California for
the past year or two. The supply has
been greater than the demand for
common labor. The city. of Santa
Barbara pays $500 per day (of eight
hours) for common labor while the
electric car line claim they can get
all the common labor they want for
12} cts. per hour: The common price
is about $3.50 per day; mechanics get
$3.50 and $500 per day (of eight
hours); ranch hands get $40 to $50
per month and board; girls that work
out in families get sis to $25> per
month and board. They are mostly
spanish. School teachers get $50 per
month and principals get 500. and
upward per month. I noticed an ad
in your paper, nice potatoes at is cts.
per b1shel. 1t seemed to me to be-
very low. Potatoes here are worth il
cts. pound or about IS cts. per
bushel and they seldom get lower
than cent per pound: Eggs are worth
from Is to 35 cts per dozen: butter Is
to 80 cts. per pound, according to the
season. : Butter and eggs are highest
in the fall, or what we call our dry
season. I think the coming: industry
of this section will be lemon culture.
They have originated some new kinds,
called the LisRogdand Eureka, much
superior to the Sicily. They produce
enormous crops.,-T There are blossoms
and fruit on the trees all the year
round. You can pick ripe fruit every
month in the year. They have put
up two very large buildings recently
in Santa Barbara for the cure and
packing of lemons; and they send out
car loads nearly every day, I:see they
take, the front rank ia the, eastern
market: The summersare almost too
cool along the coast for sweet oranges
but just right fol. lemons. Go to Riv-
erside and Redlands, where the sum-
mers are hot and you will find sweet
oranges. But to grow lemons and
oranges successfully you must have
water. You can grow all other kinds of
fruit trees withept irrigation. I see
they are having too, much water east
of the Rockies, this season. Please
turn a little of it this way.
Yours Respectfully,
..... wM. F. HuN4. .
