of Wells street Is nearing compile
tion. Il Is a two story frame build
Ing and contains all modern I'm.

The Quiet Observer.

Auditors Armstrong and Wilson
are closing up their inspection OF
the city records and will be able to
report at the next regular meeting
of council, The Observer under
stands that one of the auditors ex.
pressed himself In effect that the
clerical work for the city, outside
of the unauthorized plunges into
the treasury, had been done alright
In way but that that way did not
accord In many respects with cor
rect ideas of bookkeeping. There
has been delinquer cy in the record
ing of bonds and other important
instruments. A number of desir-
able papers are said to be missing.
Omissions In the records of import.
ant transactions are frequent. A
notable instance of this omission Is
the absence of any charge against
collectors and treasurers of recent
years for the business entrusted to
them. This officer should be
charged with what he receives for
collection, credited with his REMIT
ances and required to account for
the balance between the debit and
credit side.
k
In this connection we are forclbly
struck with the fact that people are
prone to exalt a public officer
while having only a superficial
knowledge of how the Office Is
being administered. If the incum-
bent has the art of pleasing an the
shrewdness to keep the surface
clear, he Is accounted "the best
man that ever held the Office. "
There Is no serious inclination to
qualify that assertion through
intrinsic official acts. No one sus-
poets or cares to suspect that ap'
pearances may be deceptive.
-
The Observer is reliably informed
that the city auditors say the spec
ial audit made by the gentlemen of
the costly prefix IS gem Of thor
oughuess and accuracy. This In
formation softens our attitude to.

is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening

logically follows that our purchasing
poweris correspondingly greater: Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing

The supremacy of this store is not

But success here does not stife effort.
We not only rigidly maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as wego along-have

GOATS INSTEAD OF cows.
People Of Malta Depend Entirely on
Goats for Their Milk Supply.


Goats for Their Milk Supply.
The population of the island of
Malta situated in the Mediterranean
sea, amounting to some 100000 souls
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. 1t is estimated
that there are about 10000 goats on
the island. There are no regular graz
ing fields for goats, but every morning
the herds are driven out along the
roads and hillsfdes, where they pick
UP whatever they can find in the way
of weeds or any other edible matter,
which, however, seldom includes grass.
This is supplemented by carob beans
when the herd is driven back to shell
ter at night.
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which it
does upon this food is matter Of fire.
quent conjecture and it is out of the
question to get anything but thin and
watery milk from cows under the same
conditions. An average goat produces
four and one-half pints of milk per
day and the animals cost from $40 to
$25 each. No special effort seems to
be made by the natives to preserve
strains, but, nevertheless, the Maltese
goat manages to keep up its reputa-
tion for looks and productiveness.
