WILL COMPLETE
OUTFALL SEWER
BOARD OF WORKS WANTS BIDS
INA HURRY
Council VIII Keep Enough Members
Here From Santa Cruz Tuesday
to Expedite Thines-con-
tractors Get Busy

The board Of public works will ad-
vertise for bids for completing the tun-
mel section Of the outfall sewer and
probably one or two other sections on
which not much work has been done.
The unccmpleted work on sections
where simple excavating is all that is
necessary will be done by the city with
day labor.
This was decided on at meeting
held Friday night in the city hall. At
this meeting were City Engineer Homer
Hamlin, Engineers Mulholland and
Lippincott Of the water board Mayor
McAleer, Councilmen Smith and Ham
mon of the finance committee, ]. M.
Schneider Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers association, j. o. Koepf1i of
the Municipal league, w. j. Washburn
of the chamber of commerce and the
members Of the board of public works.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of all
these persons that bids should be asked
for the tunnel section and that the city
should do such work as 1t could by
day labor.
Difficulties Great
City Engineer Hamlin did not feel
that he was sufficiently familiar with
the outfall sewer to attempt to con-
struct the tunnel section, as all recog-
nized its difficulties were very great.
The city engineer was at work yes
terday on the plans and specifications
for the uncompleted work on the tun-
mel and the city attorney drew up the
ordinance
The council has promised to keep
enough members away from the state
convention at Santa Cruz to pass the
ordinance when the council meets Tues
day afternoon, and as soon as this is
done bids will be asked for.
The city is in possession Of only one
proposal to complete the tunnel sec
tion. This is from the Alsop Engineer
ing and Construction company. This
is for $261,0OO. G. E. Asop, president
of the company, admits that this
amount represents a profit of 100 per
cent to his company for doing the work
and declares that it can he done much
cheaper.
Several sewer contractors have ex-
pressed willingness to compete for
the work and at least half dozen pro-
posals are expected for the tunnel Sec
ton.
All engineers who have examined
the tunnel have declared that it pre-
sents difficulties, but that they are
firmly convinced it can be completed
on the present plans of a gravity sewer.
This will be done.
City Responsible
City Attorney Mathews declares that
it makes no difference what the cost
will be, the city is responsible for it's
debts and the contractor that is award
ed the work will not have to wait for
his money.
1t may be possible, if the cost of
completing the sewer exceeds the ball
ance of the contract price still left in
the city treasury, which is $22S, ,118.75,
the city will have to collect on the bond
of Stansbury & Powell for the over
draft.
These contractors are under bond of
$141 ,25O and this amount, it is expected,
will be more than enough to complete
the work

THUS HOLD THEIR JOBS OPEN
City Employees Ask for Sixty Days
Leave of Absence Pend
ina Promotion

Leaves Of absence for sixty days
are becoming popular with city hall
employees.
Ed Lovey, license collector in the
Office of E. E. Johnson, city tax collec-
tor, yesterday asked for a leave of
absence Of this length in order to take
the appointment as license clerk in the
Office Of City Clerk Lelande.
The position of license clerk is left
vacant by the appointment Of Bert L.
Farmer. to take the position of COM
mittee clerk. AS Mr.. Farmer will have
to take the civil service examination
within the next sixty days with other
applicants for the position, he wisely
asked for sixty days leave of absence
from his former position in order that
his old job might be left if he fails to
pass the examination In order to pro-
tect himself should Farmer have to go
back as license clerk, Lovey asked for a
leave of absence also.

Bower said he entertained no sus-
picions of the man until the stranger
failed to return the rig.

tion of the man. and when arrested he
will probably be charged with grand
larceny No such person was known at

M0GULS WILL
CRASH HEAD-ON
SPECTACULAR WRECK PLANNED
AT AGRICULTURAL PARK
First Class Engines Under Full Steam
y Are to Be Sent Against Each
Other to Show Just What a
Smashup Looks Like

When heavy express trains, drawn
by huge n1ile-a- minute mogul engines,
crash head-on at terrific speed nobody
ever sees the fearful impact or hears
the savagely kissing clouds of steam,
as the monster locomotives come to-
gether. crumpling their heavy steel
structures like matches and papier
mache.
There are seldom spectators in the
vicinity of the disaster; those who are
killed meet death so suddenly they new
er know what hit them, while the
manned and those who escape INJURY
are filled so with horror and the sicken-
ing sensation of panic that they never
retain an idea of the horror through
which they passed alive
see; a head-on collision with all its
grim realities, the twisted, splintered
wreckage, the tremendous roar as loco
motives come together at fearful speed
everything except the tragedy of
sacrificed liVes-will take place at Agri-
cultural park. September 10, a week
from tomorrow.
Morley and Hempel, the amusement
promoters who have in the past pre-
fractions, have secured two engines
from the Salt Lake railroad. They are
large and costly ones, in first class
condition, having been continuously In
service on the road up to the time
of their purchase. and these will be
sent at each other at almost a mile d
minute.
On Mile Track
Daring engineers will drive them.
Il. LII n 1ttner
a mile, and the two locomotives, which
weigh 10000 pounds each and are cap
able of hauling a train of forty cars,
will plunge into each other at full
speed.
The smash-up will be complete.
The tremendous roar which will come
from the release of steam pressures OF
16O pounds to the square inch will be
heard for blocks, and when the clouds
OF Vapor clear away what once We're
staunch, heavy railroad engines Will be
merely scrap heaps. There will, there-
fore. be only one exhibition of the
train wreck.
Each engine is numbered and their
designations are prophetic.
one is No. 1S-"Hoodoo."
The other 23-"Skidoo"
And nothing will be left of either OF
them except the junk.
Engines In Good Order
The engines which will be sent to a
destruction September 10,
are In first class order Both are cap
able of raising a steam pressure of 160
pounds. and superintendent 10. +.

roads Los Angeles car shops, says they

they will jump for safety.

hospital systems, which really are
splendid otherwise the mortality would
be something dreadful owing to the
numerous and virulent fevers which
prevail at all seasons Of the year"
Mr. Thornton brought with him a
clipping from the Panama Star and
Herald, giving a burlesque on the civil
Service examinations which has been
going the rounds among canal em-
ployes. IL Is called an information
Slip" and II Is one which every employe
is supposed to fill out on his arrival
from the States.
The first question, "What was your
last alias?' Mr.. Thornton explains, is
an allusion to the order that no one
discharged for cause from one depart
ment can be employed in another de-
partment, and to get around this the
men, when discharged, assume another
name.
Fun for the Boys
The query about railroad men maxi
ing good canal engineers is a dig at
Shonts, and that concerning typewrit-
ing machines is a reflection upon the
usefulness of the scrapers now at work.
The full list, which Mr.. Thornton says
has created no end Of amusement
among the employees, is as follows:
What was your last alias?
Why did you leave?
How many wives have you?
How much more do you know than
your chief?
Why didn't you get the job?
How much more salary are you
worth?
Give names of other employees who
are getting too much money?
How much more over your present
salary did you get in the States? (Don't
underestimate your past abilities)
How many of your teeth are filled?
Do your feet track?
Have they ever been cold?
Do they miss you at home?
For how much?
Hoy long before you can go back?
What is your favorite brand?
In your experience which is the best
excavating machine bennington, I'm
derwood or Smith-Premer)
Were you ever employed by the IL
linois Central or the Rock Island rail-
roads?
Why do railroad men make good
canal engineers? (Better give up this
before you begin)
How good is your pull?
Why are you in the worst depart
ment?
Isn't it because you are in it?
WHY uOeS eNeTyDOuy lily W get III
some other department?
Why do you stay If you don't like it?
You couldn't get as much at home,
could you?
Can you tell female mosquito in the
dark?
Do you like stale fried eggs?
How much do you owe in town?
Do you think that you can get away
with ite
How many raises have you asked
for?
Don't you admire your nerve?
Did you ever short change your hack

Wouldn't you like to?
Why are all the other fellows such
incompetents?
Isn't it a shame that you have to

MICHIGAN WOULD -. =.
I DROP PROFESSIONALS

Despite the expressed determination OF Michi
gan students and alumni to retain Fielding H.
Yost football coach at the wolverine institu-
ton, movement has been officially inaugurated
by the Michigan senate, the governing body at
Ann Arbor, to do away entirely with professional
coaching and put the game under graduate
coach system. President Northrop at Minnesota
has received a letter from the Michigan authOrt-,
ties calling attention to the attitude of the VOL
verines and containing copy Of the resolutions
recently passed by the Michigan senate, includ-
ing the rather startling recommendation in
gard to professional coaches.
The resolution as adopted by the Michigan
senate disaDproved Of the present professional
coach system, including the recent conference
recommendation that the coaches must be men,
that professional coaching shall be done away
with at the first opportunity namely, when the
present coaching contracts in the big nine can be
fulfilled.
Mnnesota's action in regard to the recommen-
dalton which will be proposed by the Michigan
representative at the next meeting of the Angel
conference has not yet been determined but
the majority of the members Of the gopher council
seem ia be opposed to professional coaching, and
it is likely that the Minnesota authorities will
include the Michigan recommendation in the
rather lengthy list Of reforms backed by the
Minnesota faculty. 1t is improbable, however
that the gopher faculty authorities will ATTEMPT
to evade the present contract with Dr.. Williams
which calls for three years more Of the doctors
services, and there is general disposition to
carry out the spirit Of the contract ,~.-
Michigan's attitude in regard to Yosts4 f.
rather amusing to Minnesota rooters. with
students and alumni insisting on Yosts reten.
tion, and with faculty authorities endeayorine
do away with professional coaching, the wolver
| Inc institution seems to be in the midst of ar
athletic war that should furnish lively en+er
