wires Under Surface.

The mayor has started a movement
that will probably result in all of the
electric wires except those of the
street car lines in the business district
of the city being placed in con-
Quits under the surface. Upon the in
PRODUCTION of a resolution by Dauber
and Sexton. the Fourth ward alder
men. ordering all wires under ground
on Second avenue and Third avenue
between Fifteenth and Twentieth
streets. Mayor McCaskrin explained
that in communication with the West
ern Union Telegraph company and the
Central Union Telephone company he
had learned that both are willing TO
place their wires under ground.
Among the reasons given for taking
this action besides the unsightly APP
pearance was the danger in time of
fire He explained that modern fire
apparatus. such as is used in other cit
les. would be practically useless on the
business streets of Rock Island on &C
count of the numerous wires.

Talks of Storm Drain.

Near the close of the session Mayor
McCaskrin announced that at the next
session of the council there would be
a resolution offered serving notice on
Matthias Schnell to complete the
storm drain according to the specifi-
cations of the contract within certain
length of time or it will then be COM
pleted according to such specifications
at the expense of the bondsmen, or
condemned as a nuisance and torn out.
This" the mayor said, ought to
have been done eight years ago, but
on account of political fears they were
afraid to touch it," The mayor takes
the stand that this is the proper pro-
ceeding in the case of any contract
wherein the provisions of the contract
| have not been fulfilled.
This notice was given the aldermen
in order that they might know what
was coming and come fully prepared
TO vote upon the measure. Meanwhile
the issues in the storm drain case, in
which Matthias SchnelI is suing to re-
cover the contract price of the con-
struction, are being settled in the cir
cult court and it is set for trial on
Nav %.

Create Park Board.

The ordinance offered by Aid Sex
ton two weeks ago, which created a
park board as substitute for the plan
of having one commissioner for each
park, was passed at this session. How
ever, it was changed to such great
extent that the alderman himself could
not recognize it and found himself at
times almost opposed to it.
In accordance with the amendments to
the ordinance it provides for a board
of five park commissioners, to be APP
pointed by the mayor, the first APP
pointments to be made, one for one
year, two for two years, and two for
three years. After that each appointee
shall serve for a term of three years,
or until his successor is appointed.
The ordinance as originally intro
duced called for the appointment of a
new board, or re-appOintment. either
of which the mayor might choose, the
term of service being two years.
There was a desire to take the board
as far as possible from politics and
the amendment was made, which
makes it impossible for any mayor
to have more than two representatives
on the board unless he succeeds him
self

WEATHERMAN Is NOT EXCITED
BY HATFIELD'S ULTIMATUM

rainfall this winter. He says that it Is
generally believed that there will be a
heavy rain this winter because 1t Is
about time for a wet year to put In
an appearance, but this argument has
nothing certain about it, and 1t will
be possible to tell whether the winter
is q wet or dry one only when the
rain has fallen and not before.
Perhaps Hatfield is right in saying
that the rainfall this winter will be
light. Perhaps Jupiter Pluvius has a
card UP his sleeve that the old god only
plays in emergencies. Perhaps he Is
going to turn on the spigot neither
more nor less than he has done In
previous winters.
But the weather bureau does not
know. The weather bureau does not
care.
Hatfelds may come or go. Chemicals
may be shot into the air or carefully
kept in storage. People may subscribe
for rain or lock up their safes with
shrug of their shoulders.
But when the rain falls the weather
bureau will announce the fact In a
most carefully scientific manner. And
before the rain falls the weather bureau
will tell all that it knows about the
probability of showers without commit
ing itself.
But Hatfield or no Hatfield, the
weather bureau will let the seasons take
their accustomed course.

Interest is rife in all quarters OF Los
Angeles and the surrounding country
Everyone seems anxious to take a
hand in determining who the five
most popular salesladies are in Los
Angeles, The contest has started
with a burst of enthusiasm which mas
been unparalleled in the history OF
contests in this city, and why not:
The prizes which the five successful
will be awarded are ones that anyone
will be proud Of.
The Grand Upright Kngsbury
Piano, valued at $375.00, is without a
doubt one Of the finest creations of the
kind and can be had in either oak or
mahogany.
The second prize, a pair Of genuine
diamond earrings, valued at $225, and
the lady's diamond ring, valued at
$3.50. as third prize, are ones that any
lady of Los Angeles would be proud 10
possess. The fourth prize, a ladys
tailor made suit valued at 500, and for
the fifth prize ladys tailor made suit
valued at $50, are prizes that appeal
to everyone who enters the contest.

A question has arisen as to what
ladies are eligible to compete in this
contest. The contest is open to sales
ladies only, and any lady who is not
employed in the capacity of a sales
lady cannot enter her name. No one
employed on this paper can enter and
employees of this publication will be
barred from voting. This does away
with any chance of favoritism being
shown and will be appreciated by
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-13

Weather Observer Franklin is not at
all excited because Charles M. Hatfield
is going to let Jupiter Pluvius do his
own rainmaking in Southern California
this winter.
The alliance between Uncle Sam
weather prophets and Jupiter 2. is OF
much long standing and on such
solid basis that one lone rainmaker,
more or less, cannot disrupt it. Mr..
Franklin has no fear that Hatfield can
disturb the terms of the treaty which
provides that Jupiter Pluvius shall
make rain when he wants to, and Uncle
Sans weather prophets shall announce
the fact when they discover 1t.
If Hatfield wants to enter Jupiter
Pluvius' department it's all one to Mr..
Franklin. Perhaps Hatfield can show
the old rain god how to make rain with
chemicals in an up-to-date American
fashion, but the weather bureau has a
suspicion that rain will continue to be
made In the good old-fashioned way
that prevailed long before atomic or
molecular combinations were heard of.
So if Hatfield has decided that he
runs the risk of losing too much honor
this winter by making rain with chemi-
calls when plenty may be on tap pre-
pared after the old fashioned formula,
the weather bureau is not at all ex-
cited over the fact.
Assistant Fuller thinks Hatfield has
excellent intentions, irrespective of the

Inclined to Force Plan
In strong contrast to the views of
Monsignor Earnett are those of Rev.
DIR. Warren F. Day, pastor emeritus
of the First Congregational church.
DIR. Day said:
1--WE do all we can for those who are
about to die. This proposition Is a
dangerous thing, lest it should be
abused. I see no reason why those
in suffering in a wreck should not be
given an anaesthetic. From human
itarian standpoint, 1t is something
worth looking at. In case person is
pinioned beneath a wreck and a slow
death by fire is imminent, I think an
anaestheic or even pistol shot is
justifable 1 should hate to do 1T,
but from a humanitarian standpoint
1 should consider it justifiable."
Rev. DR.. w. II. Rider pastor of the
Westlake Methodist church, said:
"I consider the proposition a kind of
impertinence. No one has right to
interfere. We get out of this world
soon enough, anyway. Doubtless, the
proposition was kindly proposed, but
In any case anaesthetics should only
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-13

be administered in the most extreme
cases."
Rev. Robert Mcintyre of the First
Methodist church, thinks 1t impractt-
cable. He said:
"Where it is a clear case that there
IL absolutely no possibility or IRE pc
inc saved. then I think 1t justit1able,
hut not unless there is absolute proof.
AS a general thing, I do not approve
of the plan"
