Action Shou1d Be Taken at Once.

Action Shou1d Be Taken at Once.
 Immediate action should be taken by the city council to secure proper fire alarm system for the town. There is an old bell in the tower of the City Hall which seems to be past the age of usefulness. for it cannot be heard in the building in which it hangs. This is a matter of vital importance. for at night it would be impossible to call out the department except by the method in vogue at present, the firing of guns. There should be two, if not three, bells in the several sections of the town, or one large bell, whose summons could be heard from one end of the town to the other.
 We notice, also. that the hose of the department is used frequently for purposes other than fire. Should a fire break out when the hose is off the cart. and in use at some point distant from the place where it was needed, it would take lots of valua- ble time to get it onto the reel and to the scene of confagration. This use of the hose should be prohib- ited, and where it is necessary to flush the sewers let some old hose be provided for the purpose, leav- ing the property of the department intact.

Feel Easier Now.

Feel Easier Now.
 Miss Mary Clarke, stenographer for the A. L. & T. Co.,, and Miss Roche, who fills the same position with the Rabbit Bros., were very much worried during the past week owing to the fact that their nearest and dearest relatives were residents of San Francisco. and they could receive no direct news from them. On Tuesday, however, they received all of the particulars and learned that all were safe and well, and to say that they were greatly relieved would be putting it mildly.
 MT. F. w. Sisson. who with his family, was in San Francisco at the time of the earthquake, has written that all are safe and we'll.
 A. s. Alvord, who left on the first train after the news of the disaster was received here. has returned with Mrs. Alvord, who passed through the. earthquake and all that fol lowed. MT. Alvord states that the scene was one that he will never forget, and that it is impossible to describe the suffering. The news paper reports are not exaggerated, and it will be years before San Francisco recovers in part what it hes lost through the terrible calamity.
 Daniel McSweeney and wife, for merly of this city, write that while they were fortunate enough to es- cape with their lives, they have lost everything they had in the world, and a movement is on foot to send them relief from here.

In addition, those who secure honor
able mention will be awarded bronze
medals to the number of twenty-five.
The judges will come from without the
district. and none of the officers OF the
association is eligible for the competi-
ton. The first prize is 800. the second
$50, the third $50, the next three $40
each and the next six So each.
The result hoped for by the associa-
ton Is not merely the Improvement of
lawn space. The rules of the competi-
ton are so framed as TO compel all
who enter to comply with the city
clean street ordinances. No one con-
tributing to the smoke nuisance will be
eligible, and no one who has not paid
his subscription to the association at
the rate of 81 month for each twenty
five feet street frontage can win Il
prize.
The points governing the awards are
divided so that the winner Is just as
likely to be the owner Of sixteen foot
lot as the person who has 200 feet
frontage at corner The idea Of the
association Is to get as many into the
competition as possible, and for that
reason 1t offers as much to those who
attend to simple cleanliness as to the
aesthetics who can afford to devote
themselves TO fancy flower beds and
shrubbery.
Sixty points are to go for the condi-
ton of all grass or lawn space. front
and back. including the parkway. ex-
cept on boulevards where the city at
tends to the lawn. Decorative fea-
lures, such as flower beds, shrubs and
vines. will merit twenty points. and
the remaining twenty are appOrtioned
for the condition of garbage cans. no
credit at all being allowed IL the Or
dinance is not complied with. Awards
will be made between Sept l and Is.

Hints on Landscape Treatment OF

Hints ON Landscape Treatment OF
station Grounds and Approaches.
In a lecture delivered last summer at
Chautauqua, Lester &. Griffith limited
In q very practical manner the applica-
ton Of landscape gardening principles
to railroad property, says the Brooklyn
Eagle He pointed out that the sta
ton. including both buildings and
grounds, is focal point through which
the travelling public radiates. To intro
duce and direct the passengers to the
town is the controlling principle in sta
ton grounds design. Natural existing
features may often DE made most at
tractive part of the station parks. A
stream, pond or piece Of woodland may
he so united with the rest Of the
grounds as to be an intricate part, and
that with a most pleasing effect.
The materials applicable to railroad
planting need to be hardy on account
of the dusty and smoky conditions
which they must endure The short
lived flower patch Is Il poor and ex-
pensive apology for the vastly supe-
TlOT anu less eAINilSlNc pcICAiiloi pioAt-
ing Moreover, with the latter the
beauty of the scene IL with us through
out the year. Heavy masses of SIN
gle species of plants are more effective
than the mixing of individuals of sew
eral species These single specie
masses are to be so placed that they
easily blend and together make II bar
monious whole. Charming seasonal
effects may likewise be produced.
Aside from having station grounds
and the right Of way well arranged
and properly kept for the good Of the
passengers of the road they should be
so treated because OF the educational
influence cxerted upon the cOmmu-
mites reached by the road. The spirit
of regard for beauty and order will be
felt farther than the borders OF the
line. Every passenger will carry with
him an impression that will sooner or
later materialize in some form Of do
nestle or civic improvement. The rail
road thus creates an object lesson for
promoting good taste In outdoor art
and not only betters it's own condi-
ton. but ut the same time becomes a
public beaefactOr.

eREENE's COAL LANDS.

As has been previously mentioned. w. c. Greene has bought coal lands in the Piiares fields of Sonora. Judge Fall, MT. Greene's representative, when here this week. stated that the latter had purchased 50,000 acres of these lands from the Richardson Brothers of Los Angeles.
 The Pilares coal fields will soon be reached by the Southern Pacific rail- road. This will enable MT. Greene to have the high class coal and natural coke which are found in the Pilares fields within easy reach of his Quay mss smelter.
 NIT. Greene has also acquired from the Richardson brothers the great La Trinidad silver mine in the Sahuaripa district Of Soaor2, and the Colen mine in the s-me section. La Trinidad was at one time the property of Hon. Ra' Tacn Corral. now vice president of the republic. Enterprise.

If you go into the wiids of Sonora at the risk of your life, and get into trouble with the Yaquis, don't expect the United States to protect you O. demand reparation from Mexico or your behalf"
 This announcement, in practical! so many words, has been given ou' by the state department to Americans who either have or are contemplatini seduiring interests in Sonora.

 Prospectors and mining men have been complaining that the Mexican officials are incompetent and have made no intelligent effort to suppress the uprising and protect travellers and those who own property or have in terests in that state. Every manner and description of complaints have been filed, and even suggestions oi intervention made.
 To all of these the state departmegt has replied in terms practically as given above. It is the final word as to the position of the United States government on the matter, and recog milton of the fact probably will have some effect on American activity ir Sonora in the future.

 The company is now treating the product of the New England and Cliff. ton Consolidated Copper Company Slopes that were crushed in by the wet weather at the time of the floods have now been retimbered and are ready for use. The new store is showing the profits which the direc. tors anticipated. The ore bin capac ity has been increased and no ordi nary flood should, in the future, inter fere with the regularity of the out put. The number of company houses has been increased to better take care of the employees. There has been no material change in the grade of ore being mined. nor has there beer any improvement in the nature of the ore as to it's adaptability for concen tration, but with the improvements noted above, there has been an in creased product and regularity ir the production which has brought about a decrease in costs, which ha: therefore increased the profits.
