affairs" which wrinkled Mayor Alex
ander's face into a smile yesterday
Marco Newmark last night engineered
an Endorsement of w. c. Mushet for
mayor by the Independent Republican
club at Concordia hall. In addition to
Mr.. Newmark, d. Lichtenstein, who is
the president of the club, and the
walters there were seventeen persons
present.
Harry Lyons, who says he is an In
dependent candidate for the council
and is not allied with any candidate
for mayor, yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing platform: IT stand for a free
harbor a utility commission to fix rates,
railroad to San Pedro built by the
city, utilizing the power from the aque-
duct by the city, more schools, better
pay to city employees, consolidation OF
city and county government. There
are other things to do, but action on
these alone would make Los Angeles
the greatest and grandest city west of
Chicago-and that is what we ought TO
make her"

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 17.-Proph-

"Since no small sacrifices have been
made for completing the military

"This campaign has already amply

believed all along" says H. W. Reed,
president of the fifty-fourth precinct

fact that the adoption of the direct

out men of a character which II Would
be impossible to obtain under the Ola
system 1t would be absolutely Inn
possible to secure as many good men
before the people under the old way
of doing things. We have had much
talk about a lot of poor men on the
part of the machine politicians, II they
vote for such men 1t is their own fault.
But we do not hear enough about the
unusually excellent men for whom we

custom of having their children and
grandchildren at home for Christmas day.

meth: Miss Gertrude T.. Hamilton. a
granddaughter, and Edgar l.. Dow, a

this yearly gathering is Il large Christmas
tree which always occupies place in one
corner of the parlor and on which only
the eyes of the wise are permitted to
look until evening comes and the pres

no exception to former years. The tree
was pretty but the presents cXcelled

Sunday in the Churches.

Sunday morning was ushered in under
heavy skies and many seemed unwilling
to venture far from home, SO that the
congregations in all the churches were
far below the average, despite the mu-
steal and other attractions that had been
announced. The heavy snow storm
struck the town just about noon when
the few who had ventured out were on
their way home. The continuance of the
storm and the heavy drifts kept the peo-
pie indoors for the rest of the day and
evening. BY nightfan travel was almost
impractical. many drifts running three or
four feet high, so that it was thought
the better part of wisdom to call off the
union service announced for the Old
South church in the evening.
The Christmas music and general SER
vices at the Church of the Sacred Heart
yesterday were of an unusually high or
der. Miss Margaret Haines, the accom-
plished organist of the church, supported
by splendid choir, appeared at almost
their best yesterday.

trade. He was then is years of age.
His master mechanic at that time was
Daniel II. Davis of Augusta. He
worked, working three years for trade
and three months without pay.
After learning the trade he worked
in Augusta until the company moved
their shops TO WaterVille, where he
has since been employed, making in
all 50 years for the same company.
OF course he has seen improvements
in locomotives and tools for working
upon them in 50 years of work at the

Of his apprenticeship, he was able to
take a driving-box under each arm and
walk off with them. Now they are so
heavy as to be lifted one at a time

This shows how much larger and
heavier locomotives are today than so
wears ago.
In those days locomotives were
named in a good many cases instead
of numbered as they are today. Mr..
Partridge is as much interested in his
work today as when he learned the
trade. He is in good health and work.

of very quiet tastes. There is prob
