CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Some Fine Displays of Olives and
Olive Oil

The chamber of commerce is in recent
of a very fine specimen of olive oil con-
tributed by d. II. McEwen. formerly of
Chicago, who has bought the Rowland
olive oil plant at Pomona. The package
makes as fine showing as any that has
been placed on the market. The oil is
of good color and a fine, smooth quail
ity, and the long, slender bottle is
adorned with white cap and a litho-
graphed label, with Mr.. McEwen's mono
gram, and small sprig of olives and
leaves in their natural color. With the
bottles are small pamphlets telling of
the properties of olive oil, incidentally
and as food product. and claiming that
the Pomona olive oil is unauthorized
with cotton seed oil.
Among the recent displays are some
magnificent olives from the Chase
Nursery company at Riverside There
are % varieties, of which one, the Sc
villano. has specimens measuring 1s4
inches in length and III inches in dame
ter. They are the size of small prunes;
are tender when ripe and picked. as are
all native olives, and are larger than the
imported Spanish article.

Tramps' Retreat

The Good Samaritan home will not be
removed from it's present location by
orders Of the city council, for the pres
ent at least. The board of public works
made the following report about the
home yesterday:
In the matter of the petition of A. J.

Samaritan home be removed from its
present location, your board, accom-
panied by the health officer visited and
inspected the Good Samaritan home,
and found that the Salvation Army has
very recently taken this institution
under its management, and proposes to
conduct the home on such basis that
the objections referred to in the petition
will be abated. We found these parties
cleaning up the building and surround
ings, and it is the opinion of your board
that it be given an opportunity to show
it can so conduct the home that it will
not be nuisance to the neighborhood.

THREE MINUTE SESSION
A Second Special Meeting Of the Coun-
Gil Held Yesterday

There were two special sessions of the
city council yesterday, one for the con-
sideration of the school board matter
and another which Immediately fol-
lowed it. The motion to adjourn the
first session had hardly been decided be
fore President Silver again called the
council to order. The purpose of the
meeting was to grant to Contractor M.
s. Cummings an extension of ten days
in which to complete the contract for
the improvement of Twenty
street between Figueroa street and the
Treat tract. This is an important piece
of work, and owing to the inability of
the contractor to secure certain needed
material in time he was about to so in
default. AS all of the councilmen were
together on the other matter at the first
session it was decided to present the pc
tition at once to them. The petition
was unanimously adopted. The session
did not consume three minutes.

IGNORED A SUMMONS
Chas. Derby Cited for Contempt-His
Excuse Accepted

Charles L. Derby, superintendent of
the outfall sewer, was up before JUS
tice Owens yesterday morning to show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of court. Several days ago
he was summoned as a juror before JUS
tice owens. and failed to appear. A
bench warrant was issued, but he was
not found until yesterday.
In defense of his neglect, Mr.. Derby
stated that he had been sworn in as a
deputy sheriff, which fact exempted him
from jury duty. He said that he had so
informed the officer serving the subpoe-
ma at the time, and had considered that
sufficient.
Justice Owens replied that in view of
all the circumstances he would excuse
Mr.. Derby, but he warned him that it
was the duty of every c tizen when sum-
moned as a juryman to obey the sum-
mons and present excuses to the court.
