DAWN

The shadows and the shrouding gloom
have ceased;
A golden sea of glory floods the east.
With bars of crimson lined:
Now day has ris'n triumphant over night,
know It is 80 by the streak of light
Which filters thro' my blind.
Sunrise!, and mems sad hearts grow glad
and gay
To greet the golden promise of the day
And all the good to be;
Yet, / confess, this much-belauded dawn
(Excuse me, while L just suppress a
yawn)
Hardly appeals to me.
do not rush to greet the thing with zest
While hope insurgent agitates my breast
j could not II I tried;
But / remember with a boding fear
At this especial season of the year
'T'is precious cold outside.
This is the painful hour when in my SOU
Comfort with duty struggles for control
To arbitrate my lot.
Well, since yon streak of light proclaims
the day,
The question must be faced without
delay
Shall get up-or not?

SHASTA IS ALL RIGHT

Instead Of quarreling with Los An
geles and railing at Southern Califor-
MIA prosperity, the enterprising busi-
ness men of Shasta have reorganized
their board of trade and are now send
ing east an advertising agent. who will
give stereopticon lectures. The Free
Press says that this agent will visit
every important eastern city and Will
describe the beauties and business op-
portunlties Of Shasta county.
Los Angeles is getting proud of old
Shasta. 1t is the banner mining county
Of California, producing enormous
quantities of copper, with much gold
and silver. Its fruits are famous, its
agriculture abundant and its scenery
beautiful.
There are material differences of
course between the climate of Shasta
and that of Los Angeles, but all the
same old Shasta has marvellous cause
to spread abroad throughout the east
her great resources, her excellent cli-
mate and her opportunities for money
making.
There is no reason why all of Call
fornia should not have such develop
ment during the next ten years as will
astonish the world. Judicious adver-
tising will do 1t, and Shasta is already
leading the way that shows Northern
California how results can be OBJ
tanned.

KANSAS BIRD OF FREEDOM

From Everybodys Magazine.
Nightingales, larks, swans and such
poetic fowl have been hailed and
hymned until the world is very weary
of them. Where is the robust American
bard who will write high with joyous
pen the harmless necessary hen? Why
do our children read about those fab
ulous geese of the Roman capital? The
hens of Kansas are worthier subjects
Here is one years work of them: Seven
million two hundred twenty-six thou
sand one hundred eleven dollars worth
of eggs, which, as a Kansas economist
does well to remind the world. is in
terest at per cent on $144,522, ,220. TIC
say nothing of "broilers" and other by
products. Kansas hens make more
money for Kansas than do her sheep
wool, barley, flax, fruit, sorghum, oats
potatoes. The hen should be the bird
of Kansas as the eagle is the bird OF
freedom.

And all the ponds are ice;
Wrapped UP in clothing thick and warm,
The skating is SO nice!

Around the fireplace big and deep.
They gather, so they say,
And bully fun they have there, too,

JocKHYING FOR POSITION

Mayor McAleer started in bright and
early yesterday to appoint a board Of
public works He had public sentiment
behind him for once, because all public
improvements are tied up until this
board shall be conArmed and enter
upon the discharge Of it's duties.
His FIRST act was to send in the same
list that had been once rejected. The
council rejected It a second time. Then
he began to vary the monotony by
sending in one list after another, but
the name OF Perkins, which had been
on the original list. was on each subse-
quent list, so that the council could
hardly accept anybody without finally
approving Of Perkins. and thus revers-
ing its attitude on the first list.
Why the mayor should be so flercely
inslstent upon the confirmation of Per-
klns. or why the council should be
equally determined not to confirm him,
Is not quite clear. Mr.. Perkins Is a
civil engineer, Republican, and in the
employ of the government, and IL there
is anything against him the public has
not been advised of It. He is at least
a civil engineer, a very necessary quail
fication for at least one member of the
board of public works. The mayors
final list of appontees-still including
Mr.. Perkins name-will come UP for
action this afternoon.
Just why the council should persist
In refusing to confirm the names sub
mitted by the mayor is hardly ex-
plicable. except on the theory that the
members are jockeying for position,
just to take advantage OF any politics
that may develop for their individual
good. 1t is hardly reasonable to sup
pose that the vaporings of Houghton
have frightened them into a corner, as
heretofore they have shown the Sixth
ward misrepresentation no particular
consideration.
Still the fact remains that the council
is yet standing in the way of public
business. and 1t should waste no time
in coming to some agreement with the
mayor as to the board Of public works.
At the same time the mayor can do his
share by meeting the council half way.

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS

From the Washington Post.
Between the assembling OF the fifty
ninth congress tnd the holiday recess
adjournment more than 1000 private
pension bills were introduced in the
senate and house If this number were
the sum total Of such bills for the
entire session 1t would be many more
than there should have been any occa-
sion for, because the craftsmanship OF
the national legislature long ago should
have covered by general laws all meri-
torious cases except possibly here and
there an unusual instance. But the
session is young and those 1000 are pre-
sumably the advance guard, the
pioneer detachment OF the oncoming
host.

Police Are Seconding Efforts of Sister
Who Has Come Here to
Assist

Nearly all efforts of searchers for
Mrs. Waldo F. Chase have directed
their efforts within the boundries of
Los Angeles today, but they report that
they have been unsuccessful.
The energies of those attempting to
locate the missing woman are unabated
ard all say they will continue the hunt
until they find some trace of the wo-
man.
Mrs. Chase left her home at 617 Wit
mer street shortly after $50 o'clock
Saturday evening, January 20. on the
pretext that she was about to meet her
husband. Within an hour a searching
party was attempting to find some
trace of the missing woman. Since that
time searchers have continued their
hunt with neverceasing energy.
Mrs. Chase's sister arrived Saturday
and is assisting in the search.
The police are in constant Communi-
cation with outside authorities.

Paragraph and a Page

to by a certain hotel barber. On one
occasion, when the barber was busy
trimming his thick white hair. his at
tention was drawn to a very small boy
In buttons who was standing in front
of him trying to attract his attention
With a mischievous twinkle in his eye
but perceiving solemn countenance
he inquired:
"Who are you?"
"a page, sir" replied tie small one,
swelling visibly,
"a page?" exclaimed the humorist
with assumed scorn in his voice. "a

WIFE TURNS ON HUSBAND
Says He Wanted to Force Her Into
an Insane Asylum and Gets
Warrant

A warrant for the arrest for battery
of Harry Rice, bartender at San
Pedro, was issued yesterday by Deputy
District Attorney Fleming.
The information against Rice was
sworn to by his wife, who was tried
on a charge of insanity before the COM
mission in Judge Gibbs court several
days ago.
At that time the woman charged her
husband with attempting to have her
committed to the insane asylum in
order to get rid of her.
She stated that Rice had imbibed
too freely and had beaten her and then
out of fear of arrest had trumped up
the insanity charge against her.
She was dismissed and a warrant is
sued for Rice.
The husband is said to weight 1875
pounds, while his wife tips the beam
at 225.

COUNCIL SPARS
WITH N 'ALEER
MAYORS NOMINEES ARE AGAIN
REJECTED
Board Of Public Works Controversy
Grows Warm--chlef Executive
Anxious to Get Action
on Selections

After three skirmishes with the
mayor over the board of public works
the city council adjourned yesterday
afternoon to meet again at / O'Clock
this afternoon, when further nominees
for the board will be received.
The mayor told the council yesterday
that he had long list of names which
he would submit, three at a time, II
the council would agree to consider
them. The mayor submitted three lists
yesterday, but in all there were but
three new names. These were Lester
j.. Robinson, a member OF the mayors
fire commission; Martin Betkouski, a
member of the same body, and w. M.
Humphreys, a member of the mayors s
park commission.
The fun began early in the morning
session when q message from the
mayor was read naming the same three
members, General John r. Mathews,
G. o. Winters and u. T., Perkins, that
had caused the deadlock since the first
Of the year.
With sigh that might have meant
almost anything, Councilman Smith
moved that the message be referred to
the committee of the whole, but as
President Summerland was ready to
put the motion the mayor appeared in
person In the committee room and
asked to be heard

men are finally rejected I'will at once
send in three more names. If the
next three are refused 1 will send In
three more, and will keep this up all

If you will take action on them. 1 will

This brought Dock" of the Sixth
ward up on is hind legs.

to ask the mayor If any of these men
are favorable to organized labor?"

the mayor.

mayor with a sniff of contempt. II

that the nominees be again sent
through the farce Of committee of the
whole, agreed to consider them at once,
and they were rejected by the unani-
nous vote of the council.
