James Grant Wilson's "reminiscences OF

The tradition. which is emphStfeaHy con

habit Of asking his American friends for
facts with which they were more likely

KEEPING THE CITY CLEANc.


One Of the most important
elements in the progress Of a
city is cleanliness. Upon the
keeping of OR streets and ave
nueS, ALLEYS, sidewalks. park
ings, door yards, and by-ways
clean depends the health. com
fort, and convenience Of the
people. Cleanliness in munich
pal housekeeping appeals to the
pride Of all citizens who have
the well-being Of the city at
heart, for a great city is merely
a big family in which all must
work together for the common
good.
TO keep a city clean is a biz
task, for the work extends be-
yond the curb line Of the streets
and even beyond the building
line Of the houses, and without
a large degree Of cooperation
between the people and those in
charge Of the cleaning. ideal
conditions cannot prevail. The
problem Of keeping the city
clean, being cooperative, the
citizens should aid by prevent
] . their servants and EMPLOYEES
from sweeping OF throwing ref
use into the streets. Further
ghan this, by a proper separa-
ton of the daily accommodations
Of waste it will be collected
more easily and disposed Of in
a sanitary manner.
There is a great difference he
tween cleaning a city and keep
ing a city clean. The former
means cleaning at stated inter.
walls, as is done in most cities.
whereas the latter implies a
constant cleansing process not
only Of the streets but Of all
places where waste accumu.

STILL BURN STRONG
LIGHTS OFF HARBOR
Steamers Change Course In Order
Not TO Dsmolish the Jap
Sampans.

Il understood from references that
days ago that these Jap fishermen hai
agreed to keep away from the entrance
to the harbor channel and to stop burn
ing those big lights off the harbor but
there has been no abatement of this
nuisance and danger said an officer
Of a steamer yesterday.
~ few nights ago a big steamer had
to change her course twice while off
the harber to avoid running down one
of those sampans. Another steamer
when being taken out of the harbor at
night recently found that there was a
sampan anchored at the harbor en-
trance. The Japanese in this sampan
could see the steamer coming. In fact
he could not help seeing her under any
conditions and the steamer was going
at slow rate of speed. 1t was i'm
possible. TO change the course of the
steamer as it was still in the channel
and in order to avoid smashing up that
sampan and drowning it's occupants the
steamer put herself in some danger by
going a trif1e off her course and also
| by stopping her engines. The Jap made
no attempt to move but set up a ter
rible lot of holloing. Well the bow
of the steamer just grazed his boat and
/ pushed it little to one side. The sam
er been going at even ordinary speed
| that sampan would have been stove in
to kindlipg wood.
Il have talked with many shippers
of deep water craft" the mariner con-
tinued, land 1 find that each one of
them would prefer to have fairly stiff
| gale blowing off shore when arriving
here at night as they are practically
certain then that there will not be a
couple dozen sampans couple of miles
| off shore burning lights that would put
know L have seen during the last few
days dozens of lights on those sampans
which are much more powerful than
either of the red lighthouse lamps. The
pilots light up the channel when bring
ing in vessel after dark but their
lights don't begin to approach, in the
matter of strength, those sampan
lights.
4 think it is about time that some
pretty stiff rule was adopted in regard
! to these fishermen. Some foreign
steamer will get on the reef through
them some night. Someone will wake
lup then but it will be too late
