REFUSE TO RECOMMEND
That Railway Franchise Still Under
Consideration

w. s. Hook. manager OF the Traction Rail
way company. ard Attorneys I. f. Gibbon
and J. II. Call appeared before the board Of
public works yesterday and argued n favor
of the board recommending that the coun-
ell advertise for sale a franchise for dou-
ble-track railway to be operated on West
Eleventh street. At the last meeting OF the
council petition signed by W. :. Hook. ask
ing the council to offer franchise for sale,
was read and referred to the board lester-
day Mr.. Hook stated that property owners
en- Eleventh street had requested the com
pany to extend its lines out Eleventh street
to Hoover. He said that the company would
make a fair bid for the franchise, and II
successful would have cars running within
ninety days.
The board was not disposed to recommend
any action. and said it preferred to continue
the matter for week, as there were several
points it would like to investigate before it
passed on the matter.
Attorney Gibbon said that the board
need not worry about the legality OF recon-
mending the council to advertise for bids tie
said that state laws under which franchises
were granted We're in harmony, and that
the council had a perfect right under them
to sell franchises. Attorney Call was OF the
same opinion, but failed to win the board
over to take any action before it investigated
il for itself. The matter went over for a
week.

The Initiative and Referendum

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
All hail the plan in the new city charter to
introduce this great principle Of reform! am
glad to see this, as an entering wedge, and
hops in time it may prevail in all our cities

it will effect the greatest political reforms
of the age. Switzerland, the home of the in
itiative and referendum, is called the model
republic II is what this was intended TO be,
a government of, for and by the people.
I hope everybody will vote for the char

Do Not Want Name Changed

The proposed change in the name Of Yo-

to all residents on the street. Yesterday a
protest. signed by c. Bauer and other prop

city clerk. They claim that if the street 5
name is changed to Thrtieth, it would re-

The sad and extraordinary position of

that held by Mrs. l.. G. Hoops A few DAYS
before Mr.. Hoops deeply regretted death
he was married by the handschoen (glove)
to the lady in Holland. She was to have

but the cables have apprised her of her mis-
fortune. The system of marriage by proxy
is frequently adopted by Dutch bridegrooms
in South Africa and Dutch brides in Hol-

in the church, and he is only released from
the solemn engagement by a saving clause in

REDEEMED! !!
Prowers County Once More in
the Republican Column.
STRAIGHT TICKET WINS
By Pluralities Ranging from
Seventeen to Eighty Seven.
STRAIGHT TICKET WINS

For the first time in number OF
years Prowers county broke loose
from the fusion column and gave the
straight republican ticket pluralities
ranging from II to 81.
The day was raw and chilly east
wind was blowing, and although the
registration showed over 1900 voters
in the county only about 1000 were
polied. There was less scratching
than for several years, in some pre-
cincts less than one fifth Of the votes
being scratched. The voters showed
their confidence in new comers, in
spite of the Sparks warning, by Civ
ing Leslie the highest vote and big
gest majority of any candidate run
ming.
Great interest was manifested in
the race for representative. Mclean
earned Prowers county by So and
Traxler carried Kiowa by 30. Bsca
county will tell the story aud re
turns from Springfield indicate a
small majority there for Mclean.
One Of the most interesting feat
rres Of the day was the race for jus
tice Of the peace at Carlton. Judge
Frybarger, the only man in the
county running on the democratic
ticket alone, was successful.
In the Lamar Justice precinct A.
Deeter was reelected justice and
Frank Ealsay constable
When the news of the democratic
ticket winning in the state reached
Lamar Wednesday morning, the few
democrats on the street attempted a
cheer, but the sound of their voices
was so hollow that they crawled into
it and were soon hid from view. One
of them stopped long enough to say
'If old Frybarger had just been de-
feated l would not care whether we
carried any other precinct in the
whole country"

they cannot get houses to live in.
There is chance for an investment
