INTEREST AND SINKING FUND
ON WATER BONDS ARE PAID
One Hundred and Forty-four Thou-
sand Dollars Turned Over to
City Treasurer

The water department yesterday
turned over to the city treasurer and
authorized him TO pay $144,000 interest
and sinking fund on water works
bonds. The issues are water works
bonds of 1895, 1901, 1904 and the reser-
voir fund of 1904.
This money is paid by the water de-
partment out of its own earnings and
the taxpayers of the city are not called
on to pay one cent for these bond
issues.
AS soon as the Owens river water
can be brought to Los Angeles and
sold to consumers for irrigation, as
well as for domestic purposes and the
power from the owens river developed,
it is probable taxpayers will not be
called on to pay any more money for
interest and sinking fund on the Owens
river bonds.
To Advertise for Garbage Bids
The board of public works yesterday
instructed Secretary Horace B. Ferris
to send copies of the Los Angeles gar
bage specifications to garbage contract
ors in twenty-five cities throughout the
country having about the same popula-
ton as Los Angeles. The idea of the
board is that contractors who handle
garbage in cities about the size of Los
Angeles will be in a position to furnish
bids for handling Los Angeles refuse
and that greater competition may
result,

A lady who understands advertis-

does not care to go into a store and
have a merchant show all his stock
in order to find out whether he keeps
what she wishes to purchase and
whether the article is sold at a price
she can afford. 1t is much easier
and pleasanter to look through the

have the best of stores, the most
honorable of merchants, and where
goods are sold at margin so small
as not to afford a respectable liv-
ing to our business men, thousands
of dollars are annually sent to the
department stores of our great cities.
Farmers expect our merchants to pay
them a fancy price for butter and
eggs and poultry, for their pumpkins,
potatoes, and then they take the
money received from their home mer-
chants and send it to city depart
ment store There is not economy
or honor in such a manner of doing
business. You can write it down in
your hat, that as a rule, the city de-
partment store is a swindle. Our cit
liens who patronize them should be
compelled to ship their butter and
eggs to them. There is not a bust
ness man in our town who will not
duplicate their prices for the same
quality Of goods, and he who turns
down his home merchants to patron
ize these fakirs is far from a loyal,

The trade territory of a town is
not all depending upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the en-
terprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If a town
does not reach after the trade it
will come only as fast as it is forced
to. But if the merchants go after
business in the surrounding coun-
try, advertising in every possible way
and making good every word of their
advertising, trade will come from an
everincreasing radius, the town viii
gain a reputation for being awake
and it will forge to the front. It is
the men in the town and not al
together the men living within a
certain number of miles from it that
makes the town.

The matter of sprinkling our prin-
cipal streets should be done by the
city at the public's expense. This
present individual ownership plan is
not satisfactory. A day like this
when everything is dry and windy
and only one sprinkler going is not
enough. The territory is too large
for one sprinkler to do all the work
and do it well. We do not say this in
d spirit of criticism for everything
is being done that is possible with
one team and one sprinkler. This
is matter that should be taken up
by the business men and city council
for proper disposal. Who will act
in the matter?

A schoolmaster once said to his
pupils to the boy who would make

minutes ON "How To Overcome

the five minutes had expired a lad
of nine years stood up and said:
well, sir, habit is hard to overcome.
If you take off the first letter
it does not change 'abit'. If you take
off another letter you still have a
bit left. If you take off still an
other, the whole of it remains. If
you take off another it is not total

that if you want to get rid of habit
you must throw it off altogether -
