from Europe two months ago he dis
covered that the eastern wholesale cloth
ing market was so demoralized that al
most amy concession was made large

lion dollars, being one of the largest
single purchases of clothing ever made
by any concern in the west. The opening

occupied

New officers for Troop D, First squad
ron, N. G. c., have been elected by the
members of the troop and are now In ac-
tive command. The election was neces-
STATED by the resignation of Captain Wa
ferrous former commander of the troop,
who recently was compelled to sever his
connection with the company owing tc
the press of private business.
First Lieutenant james Gum of the
troop was elected to succeed Captain Wa
ferrous, and Second Lieutenant McComas
was elected to the place eft vacant by
the advancement of Lieutenant Gum
First Sergeant Louis Allinson was elected
to the office of second lieutenant. A new
first sergeant was not appointed, but will
be within few days.
Major Charles H. Howland of the First
brigade acted as presiding officer at the
election.
Troop D is now in the best condition
both as regards finances and the class oil
it's men as it has been at any time during
its history.
There are forty-nine men on the roll al
present and it Is expected that several
new recruits will be mustered in soon.
For some time past the members of the
troop have been endeavoring to arrange
matters so that horses could be purchased
by them. lne organization does not owr
the horses 1t uses when on parade OF
practice marches, but is compelled to hire
them from a livery stable. They feel
confident the efficiency of the troop could
be greatly increased if it owned its horses
and IL matters turn out as expected 1t is
probable they will succeed in procuring
them before next summer.

Following the examples of San Fran
CISCO Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento
and other points it was decided that
this Is the best time to inaugurate a
general cleaning up and the necessary
orders were issued.
Physicians viii Help
A plan was broached and adopted by
which each ward is subdivided, volun-
teer physicians will assist the Sanitary
inspectors In finding places where Of
fetal attention is needed and the entire
police force will second these efforts.
Los Angeles must be made the clean
est of citfes-as it is the fairest-that
is the order.
Any one who fails to carry out in
structions will be prosecuted promptly,
as the campaign will be swift, thor
ough and effective.
Business men who have suggested
this idea are of the opinion that few
thousand dollars spent in preventive
measures will save hundreds of thou
sands of dollars later.
Police on the Alert
The police will pay special attention
to any one hereafter caught throwing
rubbish into vacant lots and behind bill
boards, depositing garbage in open cans
ALI garbage must be securely covered
in metal receptacles-and in any way
littering the streets, alleys or other
areas.
Meanwhile Mayor Harper has decided
to hold UP the salary ordinance of the
health department recently. passed by
the council, as it's sanction would have
cut the departments force down by
seven men at a time when the question
of increasing the number of inspectors
