COLORED LICENSES WILL
PUT MONEY IN TREASURY
Inspector Finds ExpressRan Who Has
Not Paid Fee for More
Than Year

The monthly report of License Clerk
LOWE shows that 1881 licenses were is
sued during February, for which the
city received SAL, 591.79.
This is considered a good showing,
but after April l it will probably be
even better, for new system will be
put into effect that month. This is a
plan whereby the holders of licenses
will be compelled to have them on dis
play so the license inspectors may see
them at any time. The colors of the
licenses. will be changed each month
and an inspector can tell at a glance
whether the license has been renewed.
In the cases where licenses are issued
to expressmen, peddlers, etc, holder
will be fastened to the side of the
wagon and the license placed In this
holder.
The method in use now is to fasten
tin tags. on the wagons bearing the
number of the license. But this does
not show whether the fee has been paid
each month, as is required.
The necessity for the change was
shown yesterday when a license in
spector found an express driver had
not paid his license fee since October
1907. He carried the tin tag with his
number on 1t on his wagon, but there
was no way the inspectors could tell at
a glance If he had renewed his license
each month.

Municipal Affairs
BOARD OF WORKS TO
SUPERVISE HARBOR
VIII Have Authority In Expenditures
Of Bond Money for Improve
ments on city's Water
Front

A new feature has entered the con-
solidation movement which will make
it all the more attractive both to Los
Angeles and to San Pedro. This is
whatever harbor Improvement is done
by Los Angeles will be under the super
vision of the board of public works.
This fact had not occurred to the
board until yesterday, when it was an
nounced by Gen. Chaffee, the member
of the board in charge of the aqueduct,
who spoke with legal authority. But
under the charter there is no doubt
that il the San Pedro harbor is inn
proved by bonds issued by Los Angeles
the board will have control of the OK
penditure of this money. That the i'm
provement will have to be by bond
issue is almost a foregone conclusion,
according to members of the board, for
the proposed plans will require. mil
lions, and no such amount of money
could be set aside from the general
tax fund.
This will place an added burden on
the shoulders of the board, but this
body has shown an ability to assimilate
extra duties without turning hair
This is particularly noticeable in the
aqueduct.
BY adding the harbor improvement to
the aqueduct it is probable Gen Chaffee
will have the direct, supervision OF
both. Ed Kern is inspector of public
works, and as such is very busy. A. A,
Hubbard is president of the board and
practically his entire time is taken In
afIixing his signature to documents, a
duty that grows more onerous every
day with the increase of the city's
work Gen. Chaffee has no time to
spare in his supervision of the aque-
duct work, but by perfecting & system
for the harbor similar to the one used
for the big ditch can probably give II
general oversight.

SUES FOR S3O,276 FOR
LOSS OF HIS LEFT LEG
Laborer in Montana Says Surgeon
Removed Limb Without His
Consent

MISSOULA, Mont, March Be
cause his left leg was amputated seven
and a half inches above the ankle
without his knowledge and consent
Frank arlsonC, a laborer on the Taft
tunnel, has filed in the district court
two suits for damages, aggregating
$50, 276, against Dr. L. j. Coria, physi-
clan in the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Puget Sound hospital at Taft.
The complaint alleges that after an
accident last November in which his
left leg was broken above the ankle
and the foot injured Carlson submitted
to an operation with the understand
ing that only the front portion of the
foot was to be amputated, when as a
matter of fact the greater portion of
the leg below the knee was removed.

Profit on Investment

1.-THE question arises as to what is
to be regarded as fair return on plant
value, and it is one that must neces-
sarily be settled before the rates can
be fixed for any public utility The
market value of money is established
by the world at large and is modified
by innumerable factors. Securities is
sued by a stable government are sold
al the lowest rates of interest, and be-
cause of the stability they are eagerly
sought. Large municipalities can bor-
row money at from per cent upward.
Commercial enterprises must pay more
as the security grows less stable. Haz-
ardous enterprises pay still higher. as
stability grows less and less, and from
this point the realm of investment is
abandoned for that of pure specula-
ton.
Enterprises dealing in public utili-
ties are largely in the nature of mo-
nopolies, and if properly regulated 1t is
best for the community that they
should be so.
IF the foregoing has received care
full consideration it is self-eVident that
the public utility corporation, freed
from all the evils already touched on,
will be on solid foundation, and if
interest at the rate of per cent be
assured it will cause the value of the
stock TO be at par or a little above, as
the state of the world money market
decides from time to time. 1t is of
course possible that this rate would
change as money became less or more
valuable, but per cent would most
surely be a fair rate at the present
time.
I'm conclusion l would recommend to
your earnest consideration the appoint
ment of public utility commission, to
consist of an engineer, an attorney and
an accountant, who should make a
thorough and Independent investiga-
ton of this subject, and who should be
of such character that political or cor
porate influences could not affect them,
and who should report their findings to
the council before the next rate fixing
time"

Taxpayers Only to Serve.

Tacoma-Offcials at the court
house are now busy securing neces-

impaneling juries. Under the new
law, passed by the last legislature,
only taxpayers are eligible TO jury
duty, and petit jurors cannot be
compelled to serve more than once
in five years. To prevent selection
of jurors from one locality, the law
also provides for the division OF
each county In the state into not
less than three nor more than six
jury districts.

ever rounded the Horn, bound from
Boston to San Francisco. loaded with
-four, yeast and salt TO furnish grub TO
the California miners soon after the
civil war
I'VE got around the Horn all right
when we ran into about the worst bit
Of weather ever brewed on the Pa
cifc. Iron ships were an experiment
then, and we soon found ourselves In
trouble. The fresh water tanks sprang
a leak, and the water ran down over
the cargo To make matters worse,
the -four barrels and boxes of yeast
broke loose, and with the rolling of the
ship we soon had it all mixed up to-
gether. In other words, the whole
ship below decks was full of dough
that the rolling of the ship kneaded
Just as a regular breadmaking machine
does out in the kitchen here And it
began to rise.
I'VE fastened down the matches at
first. but soon had TO take them off on
the lower decks or the expanding dough
would burst the ship. And We put on
all steam for San Francisco. We
crossed the equator like a race horse.
and there we made our second great
mistake The strain on the engines
caused them TO break down, so we had
TO 90 at half speed. and we were at
standstill for two whole days right
there under a burning sun. The storm
we had run out Of, and the weather
was clear and hot. Whew.
''Then we got under full steam again
and plowed north TO the Golden Gate
with deck hand sitting on the safety
valve. But we were too late. The
tropic sun had baked that shipload Of
dough into one huge loaf of bread.
How to get it out Of the ship was a
question.
1.-The owners, who were the captain
and one Of our passengers, sold the
ship just as she arrived for only half
what they had paid for her new in Bos-
ton. But the new owner was genius.
He put the hungry miners 10 work with
picks and shovels cutting out the bread
and sold it at the rate of 81 a shovelful.
II was the finest bread you or any one
else ever ate.
81 was out Of job as second mate,
and when l saw what a profit there
was in that bread just naturally went
into the feeding business myself, and

A Word With Bargain Hunters

One Of those travelling vendors Of
drygoods came along here this week
Offering what purports 70 be drummers
samples Of wornens wearing apparel,
including suits, skirts, jackets, ETC.,
fox sale At q price 70 make bargain
hunting women anxious 20 bite. That
old, old tick Of Offering $500 suit
ior $40. 50, $500 skin for 1895
and $500 coat for 11.75 is resorted
to TO trap the unTsTy. And it works On
certain percentage Of people Just as
il has worked for time out Of mind.
Having had some inside experience
along the line Of working Of odd sizes,
shelf worms and slightly of styles, it
makes Us laugh. The selling price Of
the $500 suit at its very best, when
Just from the factory, was never over
$500. The actual selling price Of
the $500 skin was $500 and the
$25. 90 coat was $500, and you may
be sure that none Of them were
marked at cost. Il is not an IN
common thing, said shrewd dygoods
man, 70 the writer, one day to actually
sell at bargain sale shelf-worns and
out-of-styles FOX more than the goods
were offered at when new. Then the
guarantee Of a stay-here-a-Teek man
whom you may never see again that
a piece Of goods is pure silk or all wool,
what is it worth. He's got your money
and you have his shoddy goods. Last
spring man came here with a lot Of
odds and ends from large city stock,
much Of the stuff badly shelf worn, and
in one week sold nearly two thousand
dollars worth Of Women's wear. He
paid neither license or taxes in this
county yet he took away $4,000 that
should have been left with our home
merchants. II anything you buy from

Man Crushed at the Tunnel Wednesday


An unknown man was so severely
crushed between the cars Wednesday
night that he died before reaching this
place.
He was beating his way between the
baggage and mail car on No. 3, and
while going thru the tunnel he was
heard to goan with pain. On emery
ing from the bore an examination was
made and the man released. When
first taken out he was able to stand up
and walked to the baggage car in
which he was brought to this place.
When asked by the baggage man if he
had any relatives he said he had not.
Dr.. Hoxsey was wired to meet the
train, but before it reached this place
the man was dead and the body was
taken TO Wenatchee for interment at
the county expense.
On the body was found an employ
ment card, No. 1876, Clark's Seattle
employment agency. Nothing else by
which the man could be identified.
