The finance committee yesterday de-
cided to recommend to the city council
that an election be called on the issuance
Of $4,000 refunding bonds. This is no
new matter. but has been brought up at
intervals for several years past. Moth
irg could be done, however, on account
of legal obstacles in the way. These
have now been cleared away by legisla-
tive enactment. and the matter should
be disposed of at once. BY refunding
these bonds saving of something like
$500 a month would be secured to the
city in interest alone, to say nothing of
extending the payments over period
of forty years. instead of having to meet
the entire Indebtedness in ten years. As
no provision has been made for sinking
fund for this purpose, to pay the debt
within the time would cause an undue
increase in the tax levy for these years,
all of which can be obviated by the re-
funding.

QuEsTIoNINGs.

Enchanted island. when old earth was
young
Did thy blue mountains rise in the sweet
air?
Did bright brooks run through bloomy
meadows fair?
And were the songs of mating wild birds
sung
In budding trees? Were voiceless dirges
rung
On rocky headlands? What bold tribes
were there
Whose buried bones lie bleaching now.
and bare?
Nor sky. nor sea, nor hills have any tongue!
Here at our feet. uplifted lies the rock
Thrown from the molten heart of Mother
Earth
How seethed the sea when came the sud-
den shock
The round world trembled in its mighty
girth.
The steadfast hills-the laundering bill
lows mock
Eternal silence doth the secret lock!

Fraud IN Oranges

It is reported fraud is being exten-
.,velv worked in New York whereby
Valencia oranges are sold for the Cali
fornia product. California seeding
oranges have lately been selling at the
same rate per box as have the Valen-
cias in the large cases whicn contain
about twice as much fruit per package
os the boxes from California. Uuscru-
nnlous dealers are said to be buying
empty California boxes and repacking
the the Valencias in them. thereby being
sble to sell an inferior fruit on the repu-
tation Of the California oranges.-Pomo-

Applicants for the positions of boiler
inspector and deputy are to be examined
by an examining board of engineers of
high standing and appoint ntment by the
council will be made on the recommend
alton of such board. This is a step in the
right direction. If the same plan were
pursued in the case of all public posi-
tions requiring technical knowledge, the
number of incompetent employees would

On Catalna's beach, and. once again

The sea-green billows which her dust doth

Wait for the fiutter of our swift, white
sails!
Ger the deep channel bear us-spice-

An emerald gem the fairy island lies.
When all the raindrops glitter on her hills,
And seam with flowers the borders OF her
rils,
And rim her rocks with jewels from the
skies!
