Cut the Weeds.

Section / of Ordinance No. 5sreads
as follows: Every owner, tenant or
occupant of any property shall remove
and keep removed all grass, weeds,
rubbish, underbrush, bushes, stumrs,
stones and other distractions from
the sidewalks, alleys and streets ad-
joining the property owned or occu-
pied by him."
The above language is mandatory
and there is no reasonable excuse
why this section shouldaremain prac-
tically a dead letter. ItNis the duty
of the city government to see that the
ordinances are enforced. There is moi
the least doubt but If the marsha
would notify property owners tha'
the weeds must be disposed of, that
would be done, In many cases, |
certainly would greatly add to tn

Dear Sir-Will you kindly bring TO

the following suggestions relative TO

Owing to a combination of circum-
stances beyond our control, we feel
that to maintain band which shall
live up to the reputation already es-
tablished, we must have the co-opera-
ton OF. every business man or en-

I Many of our best players have left
| the city and with one or two excep-
| tionse we have no young members
competent to take place in the band.
The only way we now have to estab-
lish band in Caldwell commensurate
with the reputation of our city Is to
place competent musicians in the en-
ploy of commercial houses In the

ask that man be employed who j

ton, but we do ask that when posi-

that musicianssabe given the prefer

Fifty Years Ago.

1t was fifty years ago last Sunday
since John Dennerline and Margaret
Decker were married at Springfield,
Ills. About ninety of their friends
called on them and wished them many
more years of happiness. John Den
nerline was born at Bavaria, Ger
many, in 1881, and Margaret Decker
was also native of Bavaria. She was
born in 1889. Mr.. and Mrs. Denner-
line were former residents of Illinois
but have been residents of Idaho since
1898. The wedding anniversary last
Sunday will long be remembered as
most pleasant and enjoyable affair
Many presents were brought by thu
children and friends to remind the oil
folks that they were not forgotten.

FALSE ECONOMY IS
EXPENSIVE TO CITY
COUNCIL CUTS OFF lNSPEC-
TOR; LOSES $45O0
Hotels and Lodging Houses Have
Been Operating Without Pay
ment of License Fees
During Quarter

Through a false idea of economy on
the part of the city council the city
has lost about S45OO in revenue during
the last quarter. This money the city
could have had by the payment of 800
monthly during the quarter.
A few months ago the inspectors in
the health department were scaled
down and the offices of three abolished.
Among these three was the lodging
house inspector. An ordinance on the
statute books of the city provides no.
tells and lodging houses must pay a IL
cense fee each quarter, the fee scaled
to accord with the receipts of the es-
tablishment This ordinance also pro-
vides lodging houses and hotels must
have q permit issued by the board of
health before the license can be Sc
cured. With no inspector to investi-
gate the claims for permits the board
of health has been unable to issue
them.
Without a permit from the board the
city clerk is forbidden by the same Or
dinance to issue a license. AS a con-
sequence the hotels and lodging houses
have been conducting their business
without paying five cents in license
fees into the city treasury.
In order to remedy this loss tc
the city the council yesterday or
dered the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance providing for one lodging
house inspector at a salary of 500
monthly. The board of health has con-
templated asking for two inspectors, as
the great number of lodging houses in
Los Angeles are too much for one man
to handle,

FINDS MARRIAGE NOT
UP TO EXPECTATION
BLIND VETERAN GETS HIS
DIVORCE DECREE
Wife Promised to Restore Eyesieht
and Youthful Vigor, but Per-
Torrance Falls Far Short
of Representations

Declaring that he married because he
was told by the woman that she could
make him youthful again and restore
his eyesight, Samuel w. HardeSty, an
aged veteran of the Civil War, testi-
fled in Judge Conrey's court in his suit
for divorce from his Wife, Alice
Hardesty, aged about 50, whom he
married after an acquaintance of sew"
eral weeks.
Hardesty stated that several years
ago he was living in a rooming house
in this city and met the woman, who
was conducting a massage parlor. He
said he possessed at that time prop
erty worth about $5000 The woman
told him she could restore his eyesight,
which he lost many years ago, and
give him back his youthful vigor, but
in order to do so she must treat him
and make him walk a certain distance
twice a week. He decided to try the
cure, and a short time after meeting
her they were married. Then, he de-
clares, the trouble commenced. He
said she walked too fast for him, and
when he complained would nag at him
and try to make him walk faster.
His heart was weak, and when she
found the treatment too strenuous she
made him take exercise by walking up
and down the stairs where they lived.
He stood 1t for two weeks and then
left, because, he said, he was almost a
physical wreck and wanted to get
some rest. Then, he says, his wife
brought suit for maintenance and was
awarded IS a week. After this suit
she came to where he was staying and
abused him. Later he brought suit for
divorce on grounds of cruelty. The
case came to trial before Judge Waldo
M. York, who denied the decree. This
was in 1904.
The suit yesterday was on the
grounds of desertion, the woman hav-
ing gone to Washington. A peculiar
circumstance is that Hardesty was
represented by former Judge York, the
man who denied him a decree in his
former suit.
Hardesty is totally blind and receives
a pension of 800 a month from the
government.
After hearing the testimony in the
case Judge Conrey granted him an
decree of divorce.

PLATINUM PRICE DROPS
FROM $40 TO $40 OUNCE

NEW YORK, July 29.-Platinum
which sold at $40 an ounce a year ago
has taken a big decline, and yesterday
was quoted at just half as much-$20
an ounce. The metal is extensively
used by jewelers. as the backing for
diamonds in brooches and other orna-
ments. Dentists and manufacturers of
electric Photographic supplies also are
large consumers of platinum. The price
of platinum doubled between 1906 and
1907 and is now down to the 1905 price.
1t sold as low as So to $40 an ounce
fifteen years ago.
Dealers in speaking of the present
price of the metal attribute the decline
to the business depression and conse-
quent falling off in demand.
Nearly all platinum comes from the
Ural mountains, and the government
of Russia keeps close control of the
mines Small quantities of the metal
are obtained in South American coun-
tries also.

CITY ATTORNEY FAV0RS
SCHOOL BOARDS DEMAND
Says Council Must Pay $4,000 More
to the Educational Department,
Although Appropriation
Has Been Paid

The hopes of the present council for
making a record in the surplus left
in the city treasury at the end of the
fiscal year began to recede in most tan
talizing manner when the city attorney
gave his opinion to the council yes
terday that that body would have to
give the school board $4,000 more than
the money appropriated for 1T In the
last annual budget.
Several members of the council do
not love the school board as an in
stitution and 1t was rubbing sore
spot to give this opinion. Under the
law, however, the city attorney believes
there is nothing else to do.
When the budget was made up last
year $365,O00 was set aside for school
purposes. In order to raise this amount
the tax rate for schools was fixed at
IA cents. This rate actually produced
a fund of 1877, 1853. The sum appropri-
ated was paid into the school fund until
the entire $365,0O0 was paid, and the
board was notified it had no more
money coming. A demand was then
made for the extra $12,15s, and the city
attorney says the council must pay 1t.
