OIL PRODUCERS TRUSTEES
Will Wind UP Their Affairs as Soon as
Possible

Today is the last day in which the oil pro
ducers trustees will continue in business
This protective organization,was organized
fifteen months ago to endeavor to maintain
the price of oil at figure which would give
adequate compensation for the producer
1t has had its offices in, the Baker block, with
j. a. Graves acting as president and E
Strasburg secretary and superintendent
these men serving in a similar capacity fol
the Oil Storage and Transportation com
pany.
Before it started, the promises OF so pei
cent of the product OF the field were Sc
cured, and it was hoped that on this basi.
the market could be held steady. For some
reason or other, however, there were seced
ers, until the trustees controlled only one
third of the oil produced. Various causes
for the falling away of supporters have been
given, some attributing it to the coincidence
OF the managing officers with those of the
Oil Storage and Transportation company
others claiming that those who dropped
away were led by delusive hopes of pecuni-
airy benefit to themselves
Since its inception the trustees have sold
half million barrels of oil and now have ON
hand 10000 barrels, which will very likely be
taken by the Oil Storage company, which is
not affected by the trustees and will con
tinue in business.
Many of those interested in oil claim that
the change will have beneficial effect on
prices, as those interested in the protective
association cam now enter the field openly as
brokers and combine to keep the price up.

CONCERNS OUR DAILY BREAD
Prof. Prescott Believes There Is Serious
Danger in the Alum Baking Powder

The high cost of cream of tartar, the chief
ingredient of pure baking powder, has in
duced some manufacturers to substitute
burnt alum (Which costs but three cents a
pound) largely or wholly in lieu of cream of
tartar, making very low cost but unwhole-
some baking powder.
Our most eminent physicians are contin-
uously warning the public against the use
of alum baking powders because of the un-
wholesome qualities which such powders
impart to the food
When such eminent authority as Prof
Prescott, Of the Michigan university, de.
cares that alum lessons the digestibility OF
the food, that its use in food has always been
deemed contraband, and that it would be
proper to- suppress the alum baking powder
by law, it is time for consumers to give the
matter serious attention. They should
examine their store rooms and their supplies
as they come from the grocery
Generally alum baking powders are sold
at lower price than pure powders, but the
difficulty of recognizing them from theil
appearance caused the government chemist
to recommend, as a matter of safety, the use
of well-known brand of baking powder
such as the Royal, which his tests showed,
he says, to be made from the most heathful
materials, entirely free from alum and every
adulteration.

FILED HIS BOND
After Two Years. Delay Clerk Kinsey
Comes to Time

After having held the office of clerk of De
partment one of the police court for nearl.
two years without complying with the re
quirement of the law which provides tina
he shall give an official bond, f.. w. Kinse.
yesterday filed with the city clerk bone
with the Fidelity and Deposit company o.
Maryland for $4,000, bearing date of Decem
Der %, 1898. Accompanying the bond was
the following letter from Justice M. L
Owens explanatory of the matter:
On the 9th day of April, 1895, Edward
w. Kinsey was by me appointed clerk of
Department No. of the police court of
the city of Los Angeles and he duly
qualified as such. On April 6, 1897, he
was reappointed for the term of two
years, but through some misunderstand-
ing he failed to file new bond, which
has recently come to my knowledge. In
order that there may be no question
about his appointment and to enable
him to file new, good and sufficient
bond and to complete his term of office
ending April 6, 1898, l have reappointed
him clerk of the police court of this city,
Department one thereof, and do hereby
notify you of the same.

CLEARING THE TABLE
Board of Public Works Files Away a
Lot of Old Petitions

The board OF public works held its last
official session yesterday morning, disposing
OF Il mass OF accumulated business, most of
which was gotten rid of by filing. A large
number of old petitions, protests, etc, were
rclegated to the pigeon holes. Among them
were six relating to fire engine house sites,
a couple ON the phonograph war which was
waged some time ago on the Spring street
parlors, and couple of street railroad fran
chise applications, one that OF the Traction
company for the Eleventh street road, the
other the application of Abbot Kinney for
the end of the Traction line at Adams
street and Western avenue, out Adams
street, past Kinney Heights to the city
limits.
Recommendations adopted for submission
to the council at today's meeting were:
We recommend that the petition from
VIM. CAIRNS ct al. be referred to the city
engineer with instructions to present the
necessary ordinances for the improvement
of Bixeh street from Arnold street to the
northern termination of Bixel street, and
Sapphire street between Bixel street and
Boylston streets, in accordance with said
petition.
In the matter of the communication from
Is. B. Hynes, manager of the Terminal Rail
way company, in reference to the placing
of electric bells at the railroad crossing at
the east end of Macy street bridge, it is the
Judgment of your committee that as this is
Il dangerous crossing this method of protec-
ton is not sufficient. We would therefore
recommend that the railway company be
required to place safety gates at that point.
We recommend that the protest from
Henry ID. Reaves, against the improvement
of Hunter street from Mateo street east, be
referred to the city engineer for estimate
of frontage and investigation.
We recommend that the petition from f..
y. Harbert ct al, for the privilege of grad
ing Kingsley street between Thirtieth and
Jefferson streets with the natural gravel of
the street, be referred to the superintendent
of streets for investigation.
We recommend that the accompanying
ordinance of intention to improve portion
of Second street between Alameda street
and Santa Fe avenue be placed upon it's
passage.
We recommend that the protest from H..
G. Shirley ct al, against the proposed open
ing of Bay street into Santa Fe avenue be
fled as the same is premature.

Another Protest

A petition signed by ten property holders
and addressed to the fire commission and
council was filed with the city clerk yester
day. They ask that the selection of a lot
for the location of an engine house in dis
trict No. 3 be not fixed further west than
Union avenue, for the following reasons:
The district situated between Sixth and
Ninth Streets along Figueroa and immedi-
ately west is at present quite remote from
engine houses, and with hills on Seventh
and Orange, and should an engine house
be located further west than Union ave
nue. it would be very little protection to the
district.
