Charges Extravaaance

ChargeS extravaganza
He stated that the extravaganza OF
the city was unequaled and that the
same applied to the tax rate.
"Why, the expense of this city should
be one-tenth part of what it is" he
said. "You will find that issue COM
ing home. When you have settled the
consolidation question the very next
meeting held in this city should deal
with this matter"
He quoted the charter to prove that
if the council did fulfill it's promise
and add the Ocean Park territory to
the two south wards of the city, it
would be acting in direct violation of
the freeholders charter of the city,
and declared that the charter was a
part of the state constitution and could
not be changed even by the action OF
the legislature.
Touching on the lack of free deliv-
cry in the city, he said: "What has de-
prived this city of free delivery for
such a long time? I'll tell you. The
politicians Of Ocean Park have the ear
of Frank Flint and Mclaughlin. L
lived near Flint for a number of years
and know him for just what he is, a
ward politician and servant of the
Southern Pacific
Santa Monica Prosperous
w. S. Vawter, touching on the finan-
cial side of the movement, said "They
call US mossbacks. We are standing
still. Listen: The Bank of Santa
Monica has more money in its vaults
in deposits than the three banks in
the south end and we have aonther
bank at this end in addition. The
Johnson grocery in this end does more
business than all the other grocery
stores on the beach. You see | am NOT
talking about peanuts, popcorn or
whisky, but of substantial trade"
w. |. Hull, j. G. Steele and r. r.
Tanner made talks along similar lines
before the meeting adjourned.
Tomorrow evening there Will be
consolidation meeting at the Pier ave-
nue. plaza and one held by the antis
at st. Marks plaza in Venice. The
Venetians say that if the adding on of
their territory was perfectly legal they
would have no representation. as they
would be only parts of two wards ami
would not even be able to control their
own aldermen. They are out to beat
the movement at whatever cost, and
claim to have perfect confidence that
their fight is won.
Their rally tomorrow evening will be
prefaced by band music and red fire
and number of strong speakers have
been engaged to be present and address
the voters.

HER BABY BOY A
MASS OF ERUPTION
pimpIy Rash Spread Until Head,
Face and Body were Covered with
= Eczema = Hands Bandaged to
Keep from Scratching Was a
Fearful Sight and Defied Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN
CLEAR AND HEALTHY

my baby's eczema came on when he
was three months old, like a rash on his
face and then spread over his head.
Then there began to form a lot of small
pinoples over his head from which
watery substance came out and formed
regular mass of crust all over his head,
face and body. I had to tie wooden cloths
on his hands to keep him from scratching
himself. He was a fearful sight to look
at. I went to a drug store and tried
some Of their remedies for eczema but
they did not do him any good. L then
called In one Of our leading physicians
and he tried several kinds of medicine
and gave me prescriptions, but they
only made him worse.
At this stage a lady friend of mine
came in and advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. That afternoon l sent
for cake Of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuti-
cura Ointment and one vial Of Cuticura
Pills, and in less than a week could see
q vast improvement in him. / washed
him all over every morning with the
Cuticura Soap and gave him an appli-
cation of the Cuticura Ointment after
his bath. / kept on using the Cuticura
Remedies until he was completely cured.
They left his skin clear and healthy and
] always have kept the Cuticura Rene
dies in the house ever since. 1 highly
recommend Cuticura to all persons suf-
fering from eczema. Mrs. Kate Broug-

Through Topeka Union Pacific

for it's through trains 20 all steel nom
wreckable postal cars and they will be
installed on the trains at once. Prac-
tically all of the trains through To-
peka will include these cars as a part
of their equipment along with the rest
of the all-Steel cars now being placed
in service by the Union Pacific.
This is the greatest move ever taken
by a western railroad in the protection
of the employees on the fast passenger
trains. The new steel postal cars will
greatly reduce the terrible death list
of mail clerks and baggagemen that al
ways stares the newspaper reader IN
the face when he reads the account CT a
collision a derailment or an explosion
Not only will the railway clerks find
protection but the new cars will serve
as a protection for the whole train.
With such equipment next to the loco
motive the force and effect of a col
hsion will lac .,rea-.| reduced-no III, re
collapsing, smashing and burning cars.
The action of the first few cars IN n
train determines the result to the re-
mainder of the cars. And how many
time have newspaper accounts of
wrecks stated-the rear cars on the
train remained upright and uninjured -
The Union Pacific has realized that
their mail clerks must have the protec-
ton afforded the passengers, that the
United States mail Inl st be hauled
without accident. that their whole train
should have the strength and the
equipment to withstand any accident
that might happen.
The rev cars are similar in many re-
spects t. the steel cars now used for
their passenger service. They have the
six wheel trucks with cast steel frames,
the two trucks weighing 1900 pounds.
the car body $4,000 pounds the total
weight being 10000 pounds. In these
cars the heavy steel double body
bolster is dispensed with and a consid-
cradle reduction in weight is made by
the use of the single cast ste FL nolste r
similar to that used for the coaches
with the four wheel trucks.
The floors of the cars are made of
corrugated steel, then a layer of hair
felt, another of corrugated steel, then
expanded metal and on top of that a
final coating of fiexolith. This will
proof. The car sides have steel posts.
There are no diagonal bracings but the
sides are stiffened by the sheathing
and a heavy iron belt rail on the in
side.
The roof is semi-elliptical shape
which has been adopted as a common
standard for the steel passenger equip
ment of all the Hartman lines. The
car. as a whole, is remarkable for its
light weight and illustrates the fact
that steel can be employed throughout
in passenger car construction without
increasing the weight but vastly in
creasing the strength as compared with
the wooden cars and with the additional
advantage of safe guarding the postal
clerks by securing fire proof and non-
wreckab1e car.
1t is but a question of time until all
the railroads in the country adopt these
new postal cars in their passenger SER
vice. 1t is also but a question Of time
until Uncle Sam demands that this be
done.

DEER FOR UNCLE JOE.
A Whole Carcass Is Sent Him From
Colorado.

Washington, Dec. 31.-When "Uncle
Joe'' Cannon arrived in the national
capital on his return from a Christmas
season spent at his Danville home, his
secretary. L. White Busby, informed
him that an entire deer had arrived
during his absence as a Christmas gift
from Colonel James A. Owenby of Col
orado.
why, Busby!" exclaimed the speak
er. Its against the law here to have
venison in your possession after Janu-
airy 1. Only SO hours to consume an
entire deer"
Whereupon, not to be outdone by an
item of direct legislation, the speaker
referred the matter to himself as chair
man of committee on ways and means
with Busby as a subcommittee, and in
less time than it takes to tell it, the
resolution was reported back and
adopted:
Resolved. That we will call upon our
friends to help us dispose of Colonel
Owenby's deer before midnight Of De-
cember b.
The telephone was soon busy and to-
day a number of the speakers friends
will enjoy venison for dinner.

New AIl-Steel Postal Cars for
Union Pacific.
Safe Guard for Postal Clerks
and Government Mail.
ARE NON-WRECKABLE
Cars Absolutely FireprOOf and
Protective.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad Circles.

When the death list of a railroad COL
lision is sent out after the wreck it is
an invariable rule that the railway mail
clerks or the baggagemen are among
the victims. In nine cases out of ten
the only fatalities in a collision are
among those when occupying the cars
situated on the train just behind the
locomotive.
1t is only natural that this should be
the case. With two trains going at full
speed and crashing into one another
the engines, and the first few cars on
the trains are piled up and smashed
with the result that those within have
no means of escape. The instantaneous
result of the accident does not give
them a warning of any kind.
The mail and baggage cars of a pas
senger train are always placed just be-
hind the locomotive. On some roads it
has been attempted to change the cars
around but without any success. The
noise, the cinders and the strain does
not bother the blind cars and they
are given the front end"
The United States government has
attempted many times to provide for
the safety of the employees of the mail
cars. But the greatest act in favor of
the postal clerks and the United States
mail has been performed by the Union
Pacific railroad.
