CONDITIONS ON FIRST AVENUE.
Property Owners and Merchants
Want street Cleaned.

Property owners and merchants on First
avenue, numbering 100, filed q petition
with the board of public works asking
that the avenue and sidewalks from Uni,
yersity street to Yesler way be cleaned
more frequently and kept free from dirt
as far as possible.
Street Superintendent F. N. Little made
the following statement yesterday after
noon regarding the matter:
1.-THE board of public works several
months ago asked the council to provide
by ordinance for the Improvement of the
hill streets leading to First avenue. Down
these streets the mud is washed to. the
pavement on First avenue, and then finds
it's way over the street and sidewalks.
Naturally the street crossings are muddy
and the dirt Is tracked from one end OF
the block to the other.
before any real Improvement can be
made on First avenue, north of Madt-
son street, the bulkheads on the west side
OF the avenue must be replaced by the
property owners with good and perma-
nent structures. The avenue needs q
pavement north of Madison street. which
the property owners can have II they Pc
tition for 1t.
''The only thing the board can do re-
garding the sidewalks is to ask the po-
lice department to enforce the ordinance
which compels property owners to keep
the walk in front Of their premises free
Of dirt"

Matthew Arnold. of San Francisco, for
twenty-five years connected with the
Union Iron works of that city, but latterly
engaged with large iron manufacturing
concern, is a guest of the Hutler. He
came to Puget sound to examine some
broken machinery at Tacoma and make
., specifications for necessary repairs. This
is his first. visit to Seattle and during the
day he took occasion to visit Moran Bros
ship yards
After twenty-five years service with
the Union Iron works. he said yesterday.
II am free to say that for young insti-
tuition. Seattle has in Moran Bros plant
most prosperous shipbuilding plant on the
Pacific coast I had heard great deal
about Morans' plant and for that reason
was anxious to see it.. / am surprised be-
yond all conception. 1t is mammoth af-
fair and already Is prepared to turn out
any class OF work the government may re-
quire.
'As for Seattle itself, it is just the same
as the Moran plant. 1t beats anything I
ever heard of in Western history and will
be the largest and most prosperous city
on the Pacific coast. This city, however.
cannot pay too much attention to that
splendid shipbuilding plant of Morans'."

RIVERA DID NOT RESIGN.

But was Dismissed From the Civil
Governorship of Havana.
Havana, Oct. 2S.-General Rius
Rivera, former civil governor of the
province of Havana, whose withdrawal
from the governorship was cabled on
Thursday evening as a resignation,
denies that he resigned. He says he
was dismissed, and that he does not
know upon what grounds the dismiss
sal was ordered. He attributes his dis
missal to the direct influence of Senior
Domingo Mendoz Capote, secretary of
state in the advisory cabinet of Gov
ernor General Brooke
General Brooke, when approached
regarding the matter, declined to talk
for publication, saying that he pre-
ferred that any explanation should be
made by General Rivera himself. Senior
Capote asserts that he requested Ri
vera to resign because he was an OBJ
structionist and out of harmony with
the administration. and that General
Rivera replied that he would wait until
he was dismissed, which was decided
upon Immediately. There was no OBJ
lection, according to the secretary OF
state, to General Rivera holding cer-
tain views as a private individual, but
as subordinate it was the duty OF
General Rivera to carry out instruc.
tions, and to not make himself an OBJ

Young Men in PoIities.

1t is the duty Of every good citizen
to take an active interest in public af-
fairs and no one can begin too soon in
the discharge of his duties in this re-.
spect Every year large number of
new voters appear upon the scene
and these should all be fully prepared
to take an intelligent and patriotic
part among the real rulers of the
country. Sometimes political as
sociation is anything but elevating
and refining, but this is not neces-
sarily 50.
The organizations especially active
in politics should always be conducted
upon an honest and instructive basis.
Efficient outside work, also, can be
legitimately carried on without detri-
ment to the health or morals Of any
one. 1t should be the purpose of all
concerned to become thoroughly in
formed as to current questions, and
to be prepared to act with wisdom
and justice to the whole community.
The young men Of to-day are the
leaders OF the near future. Upon
their shoulders must rest the re-
sponsibilities now assumed by others.
They should not seek to escape their
share Of the work, and, above all,
they should not be led astray by the
arts of the demagOgue or permit
themselves to be misused by those
who have no interest in the public
welfare and who only seek the pro,
motion of selfish schemes, and are
more actuated by the desire to ac.
complish partisan aims than to
further the cause Of clean politics and
good government.
Every citizen should think for him
self, and be his own master at all
times. Every one is entitled to his
particular views as to public affairs,
as to principles and men, and no one
should be guided merely by appeals

CHARLES E. BERGER, Republican
candidate for District Attorney, is
making an active canvass, and there
is now no doubt about his election.
He is popular young lawyer and is
well equipped for the position. Mr..
Berger was born in Wayne township,
this county, and attended the schools
of that township, taught school there
a term or two, and then attended the
Millersville Normal school where he
graduated with the highest honors of
the class. He then taught school in
Philadelphia, filled clerical position
in the Custom House, subsequently
studied law with G. H. Gerber, was
admitted to the bar, and since then
has practiced law in Pottsville. At
the last Republican county conven-
tion he was nominated without a dis
senting vote. His vote in his native
and adjoining townships will be prac-
tically unanimous, and his election is
claimed by large majority When
you vote for Mr.. Berger, You cast
your ballot in favor of an economical
administration of the District At
torney's office. His election will put
a stop to the official extravaganza
and mismanagement in that depart.
ment of our county government.
