STREETS AND ALLEYS.-Many complaints have been made to the city marshal of citizens obstructing streets, sidewalks and alleys and un- fortunately they are well founded. Merchants too often shove their dis plays out across the dead lines, and warehouse men and others leave their vehicles and other impediments both in and out of use, in the alleys and streets in a way that gives those on business bent much inconvenience besides making a sloppy looking sort of a city. The marshal has under taken to correct this evil and re quests citizens to each look around and see if they or their employees are not on the list of offenders. If they are he hopes they will correct things at once and not necessitate an off cial call from him or the serving of any of Recorder Thomas peremptory orders. Today would be a good day to begin, and bright and early at that, for circus day brings a big crowd to the city and the obstruc than ever.

 VALLEY PRoDUcTS-J. B. Roach has brought to the board of trade an apple that ought to set at rest the old fashioned islander that apples cannot be grown here. He does not know the variety but it is off a fourteen year old tree that came originally from the Clayson ranch He has several trees of the same sort and they are well laden with fruit. The apple is almost as big as a cantaloupe and is a per feet specimen, good for general use. The only reason a great many varieties of apples will not grow here is because no body plants the trees. F. D. Low ett, who lives at 62O North Fifth street also brought to the board room a table beet that weighed six and a half pounds and that ought to satisfy one hungry man for his beet course.
 STREET CAR SERVIcE-Manager S. H. Mitchell of the street car sys- tenn will have a good chance to break in his four new street cars today. They are large and commodious and will add greatly to the facilities for handling the circus crowd. The new cars are each equipped with two thirty-five horse power Westinghouse motors and are in first class condi- tion. On Friday Manager Mitchell ran them over the Brill and Indian school lines, far enough to round all the curves and try out the tracks that might need a new bolt here and there to brace them on the curves where the larger cars have not hith- erto been used. The circus ground is about as near one line as the other and both will probably be used in handling the crowd.
