SPRING C0LONlST RATES
WITHDRAWN MONDAY
Tourist Traffic Heavier This Year
Than Formerly Say Rail-
way Officials

| Spring colonist rates, which have been
i'm effect over the Santa Fe and South
ern Pacific for the past month and a
half went out of service last Monday
and the last to avail themselves of the
cheap passage to California from the
east are now arriving in Los Angeles.
Last Monday the Santa Fe had two
trains, made up for the most part of
tourist sleepers, arrive at the La Grande
station, one of which carried fourteen
cars and the other fifteen cars. The
remarkable feature is that the first
train arrived on time, and the second
came in only twenty minutes late. with
the engineer in a rage because, at Bar
stow, he was given assistance by an
other engine.
1--WE should have arrived in Los An
geles on time" said the irate engine
man, 'if some doughheaded official had
not given orders to put another engine
on the train. At Barstow we were only
forty minutes late and l could have
made that up by the time we reached
Los Angeles.
[ They gave us a helper there, but the
engine had such small wheels that 1t
could not make the time of the regular
locomotive and we reached the La
Grande station late"
While the tourist travel has been
fully as heavy as that of last year, and
possibly heavier as it lasted fifteen
days longer. it has been of steady dura-
ton. Last season there was a rush OF
easterners to the west as soon as the
rates were put into effect. Then there
followed a lull, and again just before
the rates were withdrawn occurred an
other stampede, which taxed the capa-
bilities of the passenger equipment of
the two roads.

EACH HAS PASSED ALLOTTED
SPAN OF LIFE
TO RESUME HOUSEKEEPING
peerepIt and Poverty Stricken Sis
ters VIII BE Cared for by ReIa-
tIves In Their Deolln-
Ing Days

Decrepit, old and poverty-stricken,
Mrs. e. steiniger, nineteen years be-
yond the allotted span of life, and her
sister, Miss Mary Conard, but four
years her Junior, left the police station
yesterday afternoon, where they had
been cared for since Sunday night.
They were happy as they sat, hand
in hand, In the corridor Of the city
jail, waiting for their nephew, Charles
Lorch, to call for them and take them
back to their home at 2S44 West First
street, where they might again keep
house" for one another. A smile played
across their wrinkled faces as they
sat. each tightly grasping in her hand
a bright silver half dollar, which a
kind-hearted newspaper man had given
them. and their minds wandered back
to the fatherland and It's green vine
yards, left behind forever, fifty years
ago.
At last, the nephew arrived and ev-
cry one in the station, from the big
policeman, who stands on the crossing,
to the matron, hustled about to see
that everything was in readiness and
comfortable for the two old women be-
fore their departure.
Start for Home
The youngest sister, whose eyes have
long been sightless, sat silently wait
ing until whispered sentence from the
nephew told her that everything was
in readiness for the homeward journey.
AS the two women left the station they
leaned confidingly on the arm of their
nephew for support.
"They treat me nicely here" said
Mrs. Steiniger, "but we both want to
go back home, where we can be alone
and together. My eyesight Is still good,
while she still has her hearing, so, be-
tween u.s. we manage to get along very
well. We have our own little cot
tage, and when my daughter RECEIVERS
it will all be we'll again." she said hope
fully.
The two old women and a daughter
of Mrs. Steinger were sent to the po-
lice station Sunday evening and each
was examined at the receiving hospital.
Mrs. Georgia Loray. the daughter, was
pronounced insane and was sent to the
county hospital.
The two old women we're held in
charge of the matron until relatives
were able to provide comfortable quart
ers and support for them, and their
nephew came yesterday to take them
away.

HUNT LOCATION
FOR |NC|NERATOR
WHERE TO PUT NEW PLANT IS
QUESTION
THE CONTRACT is APPROVED
counciImen Suggest New Garbage De-
structor Be Connected With the
Polytechnic High School.
A Steam Producer
THE CONTRACT is APPROVED

The council, in special session yester-
contract of the Decarie Manufacturing
company for the construction of a De-
carrie incinerator capable of destroying
200 tons of garbage per day without
nuisance of any kind. The contractors
are bound to construct plant which
will consume the refuse without allow
ing any fumes or smoke to emit from
the stack or furnace and in building
which will be an ornament rather than
detriment to the city.
BY the terms of the contract the city
is to furnish a sight for the plant and
has until June Is to make its selection.
The Decarie company is then to build
the plant within 12O working days, bar
ing strikes, fire, or other causes be-
yond their control.
The council believes it has contracted
for the best plant which can be built,
and now that this most important
question Is settled the location to be
chosen Is the absorbing topic before
the city's legislative body.
Location of Plant
When discussing the question infor-
mally yesterday afternoon several
councilmen suggested that the plant
be put next to the new polytechnic
high school, beside the power plant of
that institution.
The Decarie plant is steam pro-
ducer and the steam can be used to
operate the machinery in the new
training school. The plant would also
heat the big buildings of the new in
stitution. Such use of the plant would,
of course, mean a tremendous saving
to the city in fuel and labor, and thus
the garbage could be turned to good
account and the plant run at a profit
instead of an expense.
Aside from this, 1t was suggested that
such a location of the plant would give
the students of the school an oppor-
tunity to study the great problem OF
sanitation in connection with their
other work along scientific and eng-
neering lines.

NEW CITY HALL
FOR Los ANGELES
.RUM0R THAT BUILDING SITE
WILL BE DONATED
OFFICES ARE C0NGESTED
Public Spirited Citizens May Present
City With Ground Upon Which
to Build Fine Municipal
Building
OFFICES ARE CoNeESTE1

Is Los Angeles to have new city
hall? This is the question councilmen
city officials and many citizens would
like answered.
There is a persistent rumor in the
air which was one of the topics Of
conversation in the municipal offices
yesterday to the effect that some Of
the public spirited citizens of Los An
geles intend to make the city a present
of suitable site for city hall in
the vicinity of the new postoffice and
the court house. provided the city
would agree to build thereon hall of
which the citizens might all be proud.
The present city hall is so small that
1t Is totally inadequate to the demands
made upon it for space by the various
city departments. Many of these de-"
partments are forced to find quarters
outside the hall and the city is annual
| ly paying out enough money in rent
it is claimed, to more than meet the
interest on a sufficient bond issue to
build and equip a municipal building
of adequate size and modern equip
ment.
Just who these citizens behind this
proposition are it is impossible at the
present time to say, but that such q
movement is on foot cannot be doubt
ed, for a number of the councilmen
have been approached as to their views
on the subject. They decline to dis
cuss the question in detail at the pres
ent time, but all are considering it.
More Room Needed
More room must be provided for in
some way. The city's phenomenal
growth has made back number of the
present city hall, and something must
be done in the near future, officials de-
clare. The water department was long
ago crowded out and now has leased
an entire building on South Hill street
The board of education occupies a
number of offices in the chamber of
commerce block. The civil service
commissioners are located in the VIII
cox building, and various other de-
partments have offices scattered
through the city.
The offices in the city hall are so con-
gested that the business of the city is
retarded. The park department has to
use one corner of the mayors office.
The city engineers department needs
twice the space allotted to it in order
to keep up with the work. The other
departments are almost as congested
The citizens of the city will await with
interest the materializing of the rumor
which is now current.
