The Reclamation Service has turned all the water out of the
Truckee river into the canal that they are entitled to, leaving just
enough to supply the ranchers below the dam. They also took all
there is in the Caason river, so the canal is carrying the full flow OF
both streams that is available. The next move will necessarily be
to draw on Lake Tahoe. This shows that a large amount of land
is being irrigated on Carson Sink-Fallo Eagle.

The Reverend Hunters Description 81
His Exciting Adventure.

The Rev. DR.. William s. Rainsford,
who won fame as the strenuous and
radical rector OF st. Georges Episco-
pal church, New York, and who re-
signed his charge because of Ill health.
has been spending fourteen months
lion hunting in Africa and has now
entirely recovered his normal degree
Of energy. He landed In New York
recently and is now engaged on a
book about his experiences in British
East Africa. He hunted In the same
district of Africa where Mr.. Roose-
welt is busy shooting lions, and DIR.
Rainsford says he himself never had
any scruples about shooting these
beasts. they are so dangerous and
cruel. In telling of how he killed his
first lion he wrote In Worlds Work:

he did so ! fred very quickly again.

FREE LICENSES UNDER
CITY ATTORNEYS BAN
Worthy Poor Will Suffer as Result of
Opinion-Hewtt Says Custom
Causes Discrlmi-
nation

No free licenses can be granted by
the mayor or any one else connected
with the city government. This was
decreed by the city attorney in re-
port made to the council yesterday.
This will entail hardship on a num-
Der of worthy poor persons who would
be able to support themselves in a
meager fashion by selling little trim
kets on the streets, but who are I'M
able to provide the Is cents a week Ii
cense the city demands for such ped
ding.
The reason the city attorney gives for
refusing to sanction free licenses is
that it would be discrimination for
free licenses to be granted to one and
not another, and that such discrin-
ination would invalidate the entire Ii
cense ordinance.
The Associated Charities and E. E.
Johnson. tax and license collector,
asked the council to provide some
method whereby the worthy poor could
receive free licenses on the recommen-
dation of some charitable organization
The council referred the petitions to
the city attorney several months ago,
asking him, if possible, to find some
way it could be done. There is no way
to do it legally, and free Licences are a
thing of the past.

HEWITT REFUSES TO
OK GRAIN CONTRACT
City Attorney Declines to Approve
Deal Made by Council with
Firm Because Amount
Exceeds $500

The city attorney yesterday refused
to approve the contract made by the
council between the city and the Mich
olls-Hammell-Loomis company for fur
nishing grain, because the amount in
Volved was more than $500, for which
the charter provides bids must be re-
ceived.
The supply. committee advertised for
bids for this grain three different times.
but each time only one bid was sub
m1tted, and each bid was just a little
higher than the previous one. This was
when grain and feed of all kinds was
at the top notch prices. The supply
committee did not feel like recommend
ing a contract for a year at the price
quoted, so the council made a contract
with this firm to furnish grain as the
city needs it at the market price at the
time Of purchase.
Although the contract is not valid.
the city will purchase grain from this
company at market prices without a
contract.

MUSHET WINS POINT;
LICENSE INSPECTOR
TO BE APPOINTED
Council Passes Ordinance Providing
for Position-BeiieVes Great
Saving to City Will
Be Effected

With all the members of the council
voting in the affirmative except Wren,
who opposed it, and Wallace, who was
not present, the ordinance was passed
yesterday afternoon creating the posi-
ton of inspector of licenses. 1t car
ries with it a salary of $3.50 month,
and the power of appointment is in the
hands of the police commission. p,
The position of inspector of licenses
is created at the suggestion of City
Auditor w. c. Mushet. For two years
Mr.. Mushet has been making a special
study of the license question and has
found that much license money that
should be coming into the city treasury
has not been paid because of the lax
method of enforcing the license or
dinance that has existed heretofore
For several months Mr.. Mushet has
been trying to get the council to adopt
just such an ordinance as 1T passed
yesterday, but his previous efforts have
not been successful. Through detec-
tives working out of the University sub
station and through his own secret SER
vice, Mr.. Mushet ascertained there are
places subject to licenses outside the
business portion of the city that have
never paid one cent into the city
treasury, although they have been
operating for years.
The police commission will hold a
special meeting Thursday and it is ex-
pected the Office will be filled at that
time. 1t is probable James A. Craig
will be selected for the place.
The duties of the position will be to
enforce the license ordinance. The city
auditor declares the city is losing many
thousands Of dollars of revenue every
year through not having someone held
directly responsible for the enforcement
of the provisions Of the license or
dinance. The police are supposed to at
tend to this, but have been lax in their
duties.
Craig's friends believe he is unusually
well qualified to act as inspector of
licenses

CITY'S MONEY ADVANCED TO
MEET STREET ASSESSMENT

The council yesterday appropriated
$30S2 from the general expense fund
to be used in paying the delinquent
assessment on the opening and widen
ing of Sixteenth street from Figueroa
to the western city limits
The amount appropriated represents
as nearly as can be Appropriated the
amount of the assessment of the Los
Angeles-Pacific for this improvement.
The L. A. P has refused to pay it's
portion of the assessment and will
carry the case into court. The city
has no doubt of ultimately winning
the case, and simply advances this por-
ton of the assessment in order that
the work may proceed.
When the opening and widening is
completed Sixteenth street, which in
some places is hardly passable, will
be an eighty-foot street from Figueroa

GARBAGE PROBLEM TO
BE DEBATED TUESDAY
COUNCIL ASKS SUGGESTIONS
AND DETAILS OF COST
Secretary of County Medical Society
and City Club Both Say 1t
May Be Fed Safely
to Hogs

The council has set next Tuesday as
the date for receiving suggestions on
the best method of disposing of the
city's garbage and with the sugges-
lions it wants the probable cost of SUCH
methods submitted.
Only three methods are possible, it
is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS such as the
city now uses; the reduction process.
which takes a portion of the garbage
for fertilizer, and feeding the kitchen
refuse to hogs.
DR.. George H. Kress, secretary of the
County Medical society, submitted spe-
cifications to the council yesterday
which were broad enough to permit of
any method of garbage disposal. He
asked that they be referred to the
board of public works with the request
that some such specifications be adopt
ed. He had no objection to the process
of feeding garbage to hogs; his only
demand being that the contract be so
made that all garbage would be taken
away and disposed Of in as sanitary a
manner as it was within the jurisdic-
ton of the council to enforce.
w. R. Wheeler of the garbage COM
mittee of the City club openly advocar-
ed the feeding of garbage to hogs. He
declared his committee had investi-
gated the matter thoroughly and found
that there could be no Objection TO
garbage fed hogs if it was done in a
sanitary way. He said the health Off
Ger had given him figures showing that
a larger percentage of corn fed hogs
were condemned for tuberculosis than
of those fed on garbage. He also de-
clared that the objection to Swill fed
hogs, to the effect that the meat was
soft and fabby, could be easily over
come by feeding corn few weeks be-
fore slaughtering, as this would harden
the flesh.
John L. Bacon, a mechanical engineer
who represents the reduction company
that takes care of the Chicago garbage,
told the council that the reduction pro-
cess was the only logical method of
disposing Of garbage, and his concern
would be willing to submit a bid if
ton process. He declared he did not
believe many contractors would feel
justified in making proposals under the
broad specifications suggested.
D. K. Edwards. former member Of
the board of public works, who takes
as active an interest in the city's af-
fairs as though he still were drawing
his salary, asked that the council rec
ommend such specifications as would
permit of any and all propOsals-hog
feeding, reduction and incineration.
In letter to the mayor and council,
DR.. E. A. Lundy asks that the garbage
contract include a clause compelling
the collectors to take the garbage from
the back porches, or wherever the
garbage receptacles are kept, instead
of from the front lawn, as is now the
case.
