Editor Glasman of the Ogden
Standard has began to execute
his war dance because we told
him he did not know all about
the sugar industry. His recent
article convinces us that we were
right. He says he gets his infor-
nation from stockholders but we
get ours from outside sources.
Again he is wrong for we get
our information from stockholders
and men who have been connec-
ted with the sugar factory since
its inception and know what they
are talking about. A few of his
ridiculous statements are:
when the Lehi Sugar company had
Its factory almost erected. grave doubts
existed as to whether the machinery

titude and many other faults were laid
at the doors OF the machinery purchas-
ed, so that the promoters were in doubt
about being able to make sugar.

plant which has never been used and
which is useless as well as worthless
Hence the Lehi people in the expert
mental stage of the industry spen,

We again repeat that boomers
are making ridiculous statements
as to the profits in the industry

word we refer them to the let

many flock masters are moving

Thursday afternoon all Of the places at
their disposal were declared vacant,
with the exception of the health officer,
action on which was deferred until the
arrival of DR.. Moore would complete
the full membership. The board then
proceeded to fill the vacancies. Health
officer Steddom was not present, and the
clerk was instructed to notify the Off
cials who had been removed of the ac-
tion Of the board. Mr.. Todd promptly
sent each one of them formal notice,
and this, 1t was thought, ended the mat
ter. but they found it otherwise. DR..
Steddom took the ground that as execu-
tive officer of the board he should
have been notified first, and the remov-
ais made through him. as the subordi-
mates took their instructions from him.
AS this had not been done he claimed
that he had no official notice of any
change, and therefore refused to order
his men to turn in their stars, and cease
their labors.
After consulting with Assistant City
Attorney Crutcher, Mr.. Todd sent an
official notice to DR.. Steddom of the
boards action, and this, 1t is believed,
will settle the matter, and the new men
will go to work Monday morning. Mr..
Crutcher did not think that it was neces-
sary, from legal point Of view, to no.
tify DR.. Steddom, as he was only an ap-
pointee of the board, and served at its
pleasure, but as a matter of courtesy,
in view of all the circumstances, he
thought that this should be done.
Last evening the newly appointed in
spector of street sweeping, Ed Morris,
went out to look after his part of the
work. The old inspector was also on
duty, but it is to be presumed that there
was no conflict of authority, as nothing
was heard of 1t.

MR.. BOSTON'S BUNDLE
Was Stolen From Him, but the Thief Wa
Cantured

The long arm of the law made quick
work of petty larceny thief last even
ing. w. ]. Boston came up from Rincon
last evening. When he reached La
Grande station he made preparations to
disembark with his four bundles. One
of these bundles, comprising some over.
coats and some trousers, he put off upon
the platform and went back for his va
lise and other parcels
When he returned to the platform hip
bundle was missing. He reported his
loss at the police station, and while he
was describing his property to Clerk
Gridley in came Officer Miles Long with
a prisoner and the identical clothing
that had been stolen.
The police officer had caught the man
in the act of attempting to sell the
clothes on First street and he gathered
him in.
At the station the man, who said his
name is Charles Murphy, was booked for
petty larceny. He will explain matters
in the police court Monday.

Parkhursters were dissatisfied with the
action Of the police commissioners in not
allowing their representatives to address
the board at the last meeting, and that
they wish to take the matter into the
council.
Another matter that is likely to come
up is an ordinance forbidding minors
under Is years of age from being on the
streets after o'clock in the evening dur
ing the winter and 8 o'clock in the sum-
mer, unless accompanied by grown peo-
pie. A lady was at the city hall yester-
day distributing copies of the proposed
ordinance among the councilmen, and
sounding them as to their views. Just
what encouragement she received cam
not be told, as the legislators were not
disposed to go on record without due
consideration. The lady was not dis
couraged. but said that those interested
proposed to get the ordinance before the
council and force vote on it.
The proposed ordinance is as follows:
An ordinance prohibiting persons un-
der Is years of age from being on the
streets, alleys or public places in the
city of Los Angeles, state of California,
at night after the hour of 8 o'clock p. n.,
from March 1 to August l, inclusive, of
each year, and from September to the
last day of February, inclusive, of each
year, after ne hour of o'clock p. m. 4,
and the prescribed penalties for the vio-
lation thereof.
Be it ordained by the mayor and coun-
Gil of the city of Los Angeles, state Of
California:
Section 1. 1t is hereby made unlawful
for any person under Is years of age to
be or remain in or upon any of the
streets, alley or public places in the city
of Los Angeles, Cal, at night after the
hour of 9 o'clock p. M, from March 1
to August 1, inclusive, of each year, and
from September 1 to the last day CT

The newly appointed officials of the
city health department did not go to
work yesterday morning. 1t was not
their fault, for they were promptly on
hand ready and anxious to deck them
selves out with the insignia of power and
enter upon their official duties. But
Health Officer Steddom said nay. AS
the executive officer of the board, he
declined to recognize the new men, and
sent the old inspectors out on their
rounds. To say that the new men were
disappointed is putting 1t mildly, but
they could do nothing, and as soon as
they recovered from the shock they re-
paired to the mayor and city attorney
for advice and consolation.
