Provisions are becoming so

Some fellow with long nose

now proposes system of roads
for the use of motor cars exclu-

try roads are badly cut up by
automobiles that pass over them
at high speed and the value of
adjoining property is often ap-
preciably lessened, the comfort
and convenience of those using
other means Of locomotion are
seriously interfered with and
their safety is frequently en-
dangered, so that it might seem
advisable to turn the autos down
the lane leading to the cowpskhs

1t might be just as well to
leave the sleeping dog alone
when it comes to the question of
getting a big appropriation from
Congress for the combined pur-
poses of improving navigation of
our rivers and conserving the
food waters. The steamboat
men may demand enough water
to float their packets at a time
when we would prefer to draw
the water for irrigation. Of
course it would be all right for
the government to build great
reservoirs for the storage of
flood waters but how would we
divide the flow between irriga-
ton and navigation as proposed
by Senator Newlands.

we are told the ditch system
must be unified by the water
users. This should be accom-

the government is going to take
unfair advantage in the matter
or allow anyone else to do so if it
can be helped. for such a course
would bring nothing but ever
lasting discredit. What seems
most necessary now is to get
those interested together. In
some of the ditch companies the
stockholders are scattered over
a wide territory. but their boards
should get to work and do some
thing. The winter is ahead to

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
DEAD ANIMAL CONTRACT
Residents of Sixth Ward Appear at
Council Meeting and Demand
Conditions Be Changed

With Councilman Wallace demanding
some immediate action on the matter
of garbage and dead animal disposal,
the council awoke to sense of its
duty yesterday and agreed to take
up these two matters at it's meeting
next Tuesday. 1t was reported that
Assistant City Attorney Shenk is draw
ing up some specifications which prob
ably will meet the approval of all
members of the council.
Residents of the Sixth ward again
appeared before the council yesterday
to protest against the horrible condi-
ton of affairs just over the ward line
in the township of Vernon. 1t was
stated the fertilizer works at Thirty
eighth and Santa Fe are a menace to
the health of the community and that
hog pens are maintained in Vernon,
near the Los Angeles limits, some OF
which contain 800 hogs.
The dead animals of Los Angeles and
the garbage of Los Angeles make these
conditions possible, according to the
statements of the protestants. They
asked that when the garbage and dead
animal contracts are awarded clause
be inserted in the contracts prohibiting
the disposal of garbage and fertilizer
material within five miles of the city
limits.
Councilmen Wallace and Yonkin as
sured the protestants that this matter
would be considered and no contract
would be let that would annoy any
section of the city. The other members
of the council appear to be of the same
opinion.

According to the district attorney,
Gilmore appeared with his head BAN

against mcfarland, charging him with
battery.
Gilmore's story is to the effect he
lives with his mother and that Mac
Farland lives across the alley from the
Gilmore home. Yesterday morning,
Gilmore said, he was awakened by
hearing violent language coming from
the home of Macfarland, and he heard
the latter make ugly remarks about
the Gilmore family In general and
about himself in particular.
He said he went to the rear door Of
the mcfarland home to ask the ply

Sprainng Ankle Trying to
Escape Arrest

John Sullivan, 80 years old, a team
ster living at GA Ceres avenue, was
doubly punished for beating his wife
at their home early yesterday morning.
His first punishment was sprained
ankle, which he sustained when he
leaped from a second story window in
his attempt to elude an officer who
heard the womans cries and hurried to
her assistance. The next was in the
form of a ninety-day jail sentence, i'm
posed by Police Justice Frederickson
on a charge of disturbing the peace.
The wife of the accused appeared in

her cruelty. She screamed for help, and
when the patrolman arrived Sullivan
tried to escape by jumping from win
dow.
The accused had recently been re-
leased on probation a short time ago

eyes, a love match"
'eDo you mean to tell me she gets
him for nothing"
l often think there is nothing
so good that you cannot bite off
too much. Still, people afflicted
with kleptomania always seem
to feel that they should take
something for it. The Old Man
says, "'Don't worry is an en-
couraging motto, but suppose
the fellow is guilty?" Yesterday
the Old Man had to go up to the
Police Court on account of some
young fellows having forged his
name to a check. 1t was a
bungling job, and the check was
drawn on bank in which we
have no account; but someone
cashed it. Every man, woman
and child in this community
should know that when the Old
Mans name appears on an ar
ticle, either the article is first
class or the name has been coun-
terfeited. We never sold piece
of merchandise or signed check
that was not worth one hundred
cents on the dollar in gold coin.
We've just been making our big
Broadway Basement Store still
larger. The demand for soft
collar shirts, khaki suits, cordu-
roy trousers, knockabout gloves,
etc, has increased to such an
extent that we simply had to
have more room. The character
of goods we sell in our Basement
store is the same to the clothing
merchant as sugar is to the gro
cer-they're sold on an awful
small margin of profit. We
charge no rent to our Basement
store, and are therefore able to
give you wonderful values in
that department. Stairway in
