They tell me that celebrated mountain

visiting these parts and exploring every

BooKBINDERS OBJECT.
May Request Public Printer to Re
scind Foreman's Order.

1t is alleged that Acting Foreman Ashton
has recently called upon the men in the
government printing office bindery to per-
form more work in given period than has
been the custom, and an amount in excess
of that prescribed by the bookbinders'
union. The claim is made that such a
method results in inferior work. Mr..
Ashton is acting in place of the regular
foreman, Mr.. J. A. B. Espey; who is out
of the city.
The matter was brought before an execu-
tive session of the union last evening In
CARROLL Institute Hall. and while no details
were given out 1t Is understood that COM
mittee was appointed to confer with the
public printer on the subject at his con-
venience, but up to late hour this after
noon the committee had not called upon
Mr.. Stillings to request hearing.

TO ABATE NUISANOES
CoMMIssIoNERs PLAN TO OPEL
ATE UNDER NEW Law.

Preparations are being made by the Com
miSsioners to carry into effect the act OF
Congress passed at its last session provid-
Ing for the abatement of nuisances. While
there are numerous laws defining what is
nuisance and giving the Commissioners
power to require compliance Herewith, in
some cases it has been impracticable to
carry the regulations into effect owing to
the fact that legal service of notice could
not be had on nonresident owners.
The law in question provides that when
any owner Of real property in the District
shall fail or refuse to apate a nuisance arter
service of notice in the manner prescribed
in the law. the Commissioners are author
lied to correct the conditions themselves
and to assess the cost as a tax against the
property. But such action on their part
does not relieve the offending owner from
criminal prosecution In such cases as the
law places penalties.
This law is sweeping and covers health
regulations, building regula tons. plumbing
regulations and In fact all Dist: let statutes
which the Commissioners have the power
to make and furnishes means of correct
ing any condition which exists in violation
Of such ordinances.
Have Full Power.
Formerly each law or regulation placing
a duty on "A property owner to correct a
nuisance or unlawful condition required the
owner himself to have the work done, but
under the new law. in case the owner ne
elects or refuses compliance, the Commits
sioners instead of waiting to compel him to
do SO by devious process Of law, can take
immediate action. They are given full power
to enter upon any property and make any
inspections necessary to determine whether
a nuisance or unlawful condition exists.
The preparations looking to the enforce
ment Of this new statute, which have prac-
tically been completed. consist Of the adop-
ton Of a form of legal notice, which will be
used by all departments of the District gov
ernment having charge Of the abatement Of
any nuisances. and 1t is planned to enter
liorat ton of insanftary and unlaw ful condi-
SONS which have existed only because the
local authorities were not properly armed to
demand compliance with former regula-
tons.

juggling over road beds good and bad, this
fashionable mountain resort, with its frills
and its formalities, seems the most restful
place In all the world. For our party hasn't
been pestered by a local committee for
fully twelve hours and there isn't wheat
field within miles, These things in them
selves are sufficient to raise Banff to a
high place in my estimation, but Banfr has
other legs to stand on. Scenery is its long
suit.

CELEBRATED SURGEON
COMES ON SIERRA

One of the arrivals in Honolulu by
the Sierra was DR.. E. n. Woolsey OF
Oakland, one of the best known ply
sicians and perhaps the most talented
surgeon in California. For many years
DR.. Woolsey conducted a large private
hospital in Oakland. and during that
time he was the chief staff surgeon of
the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. Dr. Woolsey made a million a
long time ago, but has not retired from
active practice yet because OF his love
for his profession. He still keeps his
office in Oakland, although he spends
Il great part of his time in travel.
Il have been here before" said DR..
Woolsey last night and 50 of course
came back. To tell you the truth L
have had a severe cold for several
weeks past, and 1 wanted to get where
could get good and warm once more.
We had pretty rough trip coming
down, but it was worth it to get here.
Oh. 1 shall stay in Honolulu three or
four months, 1 guess. I like the place.

A FELLOW PASSENGER,

! Why. yes said DIR. f. N Woolsey,
of Oakland, who came down from the
Coast on the Sierra, lit was generally
known on board the ship that Major
Vincent was a secret service man. 1t
was the gossip of the ship that the
thing should have been so generally
within public knowledge because You
know, when a man is really in the
secret service he does not go around
telling about it. He leaves that for
! the other fellows to find out
No. l do not think the Major ever
told me what he was coming down
here for. But he did tell me that he
had been in the transport service as
quartermaster, on the Thomas
think. And you know those fellows
are sometimes called major bv cor
esy Anyway, I know a lot of army
people, and he seemed to know them
too, and to be pretty glib in telling
what had become of them. A fellow
would get that kind of knowledge on
the transports, XoH know"
incidentally, among other things
that the Major spoke of to passengers
on the Sierra was the question OF
where the twenty thousand men who
were to be CHARTERED in Honolulu
would be kept
For we do not said the Major,
want to keep them near town.
He was told that there is a large
army reservation twenty-five miles out
from Honolulu, at Wahiawa and SEEM
ed wonderfully surprised to hear it,
II will have to look into that" the
Major said.
Now, every man at all familiar with
things military knows of that reser-
walton, and it was deemed another
cause of establishment on the Sierra |
in connection with this astonishing per- |
son that he should have been sent on |
a mission of the kind he gave out that
he was on. and not be in possession of |
a fact so important as this
