NEIGHBoRs MUST COMPLAIN
To Stop the Dumping of Garbage on
Vacant Lots

The effort of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association to put stop to the
practice Of the dumping Of refuse OF various
kinds upon vacant lots has the personal sup
port of Health Officer Powers, although he
says his office is without authority or funds
to more than approve of the action taken
by the association. He says that under the
city ordinance non-rosidents owning lots
that have been used by people in the neigh
borhood as a dumping ground cannot be
made to clean up their premises. TO sue
cesstulIy prosecute any person under the or
dlndnce relative to dumping refuse on vacant
lots, it is necessary for the officer to either
see the person throw the refuse or to secure
witnesses who have. The usual process of
law in every instance must be complied with.
The great trouble encountered in prose,
cutting guilty parties is to get he offenders
nelghbor to swear to complaints. It is be-
heved that when the associations petition is
presented to the board of health at its next
meeting that body will take some action to
prevent the perncous practice. There are
several methods that might be adopted. but
none can be successful so long as people re.
fuse to do their part to aid in the prosecu.

A RIVERSIDE HERD OF
CATTLE INFECTED

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 16.--
A herd Of cattle in this
county, $50 in number, has
been discovered to be in
fected with the dreaded Tex
as fever tick. The stock IL
located on the Whitewater
river, some miles east Of
Banning, and belongs to a
party named Charles Nor
ris, who brought the stock
into the county some weeks
ago from the San Joaquin
ranch, in Orange county.
The supervisors sent DIR.
Ramsey, a local veterina-
rian, out there a few days
ago to investigate, and he
reports the cattle infected
with the tick, but that the
stock is immune from the
disease, although 1t would
readily communicate 1t to
other herds. DR.. Ramsey
quarantined the herd az
we'll as ordering the cattle
dipped in crude oil. Every
precaution will be taken to
prevent the infected stock
from coming in contact with
other cattle, and the quar-
antine will be rigid until all
danger is past.

Better Than Savings Banks.

It Is a duty of every young man, married or single, if in the enjoy ment of good he8l,h and Is in em- Floyment, to save a portion of his earnings. Savings barks and build ing and loan associations afford ex- cellent opportunities for this, but greater opportunities than these are
 frequently offered in the way of in vestments, if the young man pos sesses the good business judgment to take advantage Of them. There can be no safer investment made than the purchase of real estate in a prosperous and growing town. Just at the present time such au OppOr- tunity Is prosecuted in Phenix. The capitol addition there, consisting Of a large number of lots, Is now being offered for sale, on very easy terms. By making a small cash payment purchasers can pay the balance in monthly installments. The con struction of the capitol building thIs summer Is sure 10 enhance the value of these lots, so that while the purchaser is paying for them they wili be growing in value. The owner of these lois IS offering them al the old price and intending pur- cbasers should make their selection al once so as to get first choice snd avoid payIng an advanced price. There are hundreds of miners as wall .S men and women in other Oc- equations in this county, who could spare a few dollars every month and by investing in these lots could thus save a nest egg for the future.
