MAY RECONSIDER
SALARY INCREASE
RECENT CIVIL SERVICE RULING
CAUSES MIxUP
COUNCIL LOOKS FOR REMEDY
New Ordinances Increase Expenses In
City Departments, and obIee-
tlon ls Raised as a
Result

The recent ruling of the civil service
commission, to the effect that after
July 1, no emergency men will be GER
titled to, has caused considerable of 6
mixup in the offices Of the various city
departments.
Since the adoption of the old SALARY
ordinance the amount Of business trans.
acted by the city offices has increased
to such an extent that many more men
than were provided for are now abso-
lutely necessary. These men may have
been carried as emergency appointees
up to the present time, but a few days
ago the civil service commission ruled
that they would no longer sign the
demands of such men for payment
This did not prevent the appointment
of emergency men and their serv-
ing, but 1t effectually put a stop to
their drawing any salary. SO far nc
emergency man has volunteered tc
work without pay.
In order to get in line with the new
ruling, a new salary ordinance was
needed for each department. Last
Monday ordinances were presented
from the engineers and city electric
ian's department. 1t was understood
by the council that these new ordi-
nances were drawn in such a manner
as to comply with the spirit of the
commissions ruling and did not con-
stitute any additional expense to the
city.
In the city electricians department
positions have been created to be filled
only in cases of emergency, as a sub
stitute to the present method Of en-
ploying them on requisition when
needed.
Both ordinances will be investigated
by the councilmen during the week
and it is declared by several members
of the city's legislative body that the
ordinance will be called back at Mon
days session and, after consideration,
sent to the finance committee, and the
merits of the case thoroughly studied.

MARVELLOUS GAIN
IN POPULATION
COUNTY SCHOOL CENSUS RE-
PORT IS COMPLETE
68,093 BETWEEN 5 AND II
Increase over the Figures Of 1904
Throughout County Is 75e7-Es-
tlmated $4,000 Newcomers
for Past Year
e8,o93 BETWEEN 5 AND II

After several weeks of hard work by
census takers in all districts Of Los
Angeles county, the summaries Of the
count were compared in County Su-
perintendent Mark Keppers office late
yesterday afternoon and remarkable
increase over the census Of last year
was registered.
The complete census returns show
a total Of 6S,O93 census children for
Los Angeles county for the present
school year, and a net gain for the
whole county of 1897. The net gain
for 1904 was S59s.
Following is the report given out by
the county superintendent regarding
the census returns:
Report in Detail
The following largest ten districts
outside the city of Los Angeles show
census children and gains and losses
as follows:

largest gains:

Forty-nine districts show losses
ranging from 1 to 60; eighty-five show
gains ranging from to 4253; seven
show no gain or loss.
The net gain for the county, not in
Guiding Los Angeles city, is 3344; the
net gain for the county, not including
Los Angeles city for 1904 was 1858.
Both Los Angeles city and the coun-
ty outside show a decrease in net gain,
that of the city being 4S7 and of the
county, not including the city. 514.
Notwithstanding the net gain in the
county is not so large as it was in
1904, still gain of 1897 in school pop
ulation indicates marvellous growth
for Los Angeles county during the
past year. These figures show that
this county has added to it's popula-
ton no fewer than $4,000 during the
past twelve months.

to a Sensation Similar to That
Of Johann Hoeh
Case

The district attorneys Office has de-
cided to investigate the matrimonial
ventures of M. T. Ward, a resident OF
Los Angeles, who was arrested at San
Diego several days ago on a charge
of attempting to defraud an inn keeper.
The action is to be taken against
Ward as a result of the work Of Detec-
tive Longfellow. Several days ago,
Longfellow was in San Diego on a busi-
ness trip. He was in the office of the
chief of police when Ward was taken In.
ut is too bad" remarked the chief,
"that that young man should have
gotten into trouble. He has just mar
ried and this will be poor way OF
spending his honeymoon"
Longfellow looked at Ward and then
started for telegraph office. When he
returned it was with a look of salts
faction on his face, and before he left
he told the chief that interesting events
might occur in theocase.
Mrs. Ward of Los Angeles, called at
the district attorneys office yesterday
morning upon learning of the marriage
of her husband. She seemed to take
the news as the general order of events
and announced that she understood
Ward had a wife in Seattle and another
ha np w
one in San Diego. She also asserted
that Ward always selected a woman
with a little money and that after he
had gotten the money he would desert
his wife and seek another one.
Posed as Millionaire
About two years ago, according to
the authorities, Ward arrived in Pasa-
dena and posed as a millionaire until
his money gave out, and then he en-
tered upon transaction with a stable
man, whereby the latter lost $100. Ward
was arrested and convicted and Judge
Smith sentenced him to ten years in
prison. He secured a new trial, but
nearly all the witnesses had left Cali
fornia and the case was dropped after
Ward had spent fourteen months in
the county Jail.
The district attorney is spending time
on little investigation of the case and
when Ward is released from his diff
culties in San Diego, he may hear
something interesting from Los An
geles.

A FAREWELL BANQUET

The Modern Woodmen of America
on last evening rendered banquet to
their brother and faithful clerk, Mr..
R. w. Bamford, who leaves Denison
Immediately after Christmas, to seek
a climate more beneficial to his health.
The Woodmen were out in full force
and warmly welcomed their guest of
honor. Music was furnished by the
Richards orchestra and Rev. T. E.
Thuresson favored the company with
an address which was remarkable for
its strength and eloquence and feeling.
The Woodmen pronounce it the best
address ever given in Denison lodge
room.
After the program bountiful re-
past was served and greatly enjoyed.
Since coming to Denison Mr.. Bam-
ford has taken prominent part in the
M. w "A. circles and to his efficiency
and faithfulness as Clerk of the order
much Of it's success has been due. The
banquet was, then, but fitting tribute
to the zeal he has displayed for the
order. All regret, however, the rea-
son for Mr.. Bamford's departure from
Denison and express the sincere hope
that he will find health and continued
prosperity in his new home wherever
it may be.

ALASKA and NORWAY
THEIR RESOURCES COMPARED
Alaska Has the MiIder climate-lt
Has Also More Agricultural Land
and Could Support More
Peoplc

A country similar to Norway,
though of far greater extent, is Alaska.
The climate, resources and physical
features of the two countries are much
the same. Alaska has more resources
in minerals, timber. and fisheries, and
perhaps equal or greater resources in
agriculture. But Alaska IS a new coun-
try. Its developments have just begun.
Norway, on the other hand, has been
inhabited by the ancestors of the pres
ent population from time immemorial.
Its population is one of the hardest
and best races among the sons of men.
The climate of ALASKA on all its
southern coasts is, on the whole.
milder than that of Norway. And the
inhabitable area of Alaska is far
greater. Norway has an area of 12i,-
900 square miles, three-fourths unin-
habitable. Alaska has an area of more
than 100000 square miles and an in
habitable area of perhaps 10000
square miles.
Norway has n population of 2,292,-
600. This population occupies terri
tory scarcely exceeding 10000 square
miles. Almost the whole population is
on or near the coast line. A lofty
mountain chain, little back from the
coast. as in Alaska cuts off the shore
line from the interior. There is some
agriculture. but measured by our
standards not much. The principal in
dustries are fishing, navigation. cat
tie raising, dairying and numbering. In
southern Norway agriculture is an i'm
portant interest, but breadstuffs are
still imported.
In all the particulars above enumer-
ated Alaska has resources greater than
those of Norway, and mineral resources
of immensely greater extent. The eli
mates are similar, but that of Alaska
milder. Taking Norway for judgment
and for comparison. we believe that
the time will come when Alaska will
have 100000 inhabitants and be one
of the most important states of the
American Union.
Both countries are crowded down by
mountain chains to narrow strips on
the ocean, but Alaska has much more
available space than Norway and ma
tural resources far greater Undoubt-
edly many years must elapse before
the development of Alaska Will equal
that of Norway. but it VIII come. 1t is
Il country, like Norway, for hardy,
strong, virtuous, stable and progress
sive population. By the eEd of the pres
ent century there will be population
of 100000 to 100000 in Alaska

How China soyeotts America.

Since the boxer uprising nothing has
happened to stir up the people of China
so much as the present agitation
against the United States, says Chez
Foo correspondent of Leslie's Weekly.
This is a commercial demonstration
made in view OF the renewal of the
treaty between these two countries re-
lSarding the entrance and residence OF
Chinese subjects In the United States.
The present movement is one to boy
colt all American trade, all schools
conducted by Americans, and all
American employers in all the ports Of
China. 1t ranges from Singapore on
the south to Tien-Tsin on the north.
and from Shanghai on the east coast
10 Ichang in the west, thousand
miles up the Yangtse river. 1t is most
virulent at Canton and Shanghai. The
powerful Chinese merchant guilds are
pushing the matter. and as they have
branches in every port city of China
they WELD considerable power. Even
the old Empress Dowager. who prob
ably had never spent thought before
on the difficulties of Canton coolie
entering the Golden Gate, has been led
TO express her sympathy with her ill
treated children"
The student class, who are much con
cerned in the treaty. have taken up the
movement eagerly, and as result one
mission school in Shanghai had to
close its doors, and several other larger
institutions were depleted of large
number of students because of this boy
colt. Meetings are held to agitate the
subject, and placards are distributed
or posted in conspicuous places.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape.Nuts

A Judges Opinion Of Grape Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired .
judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State. writes a carefully considered
ofHnion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past S years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious.
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial. and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table. for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as preventive of
disease 1t is beyond value. | have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
''As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of
meat for breakfast. which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. 1t
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue. while
Its use involves none of the disagree
