AS the steamer Oceanic slowly got under

on her outward bound trip last Tuesday
morning those who went to her pier to say
goodby TO friends or relatives on board
were struck by the appearance of a man
who stood on her deck and occasionally
acknowledged salutatiOns from party on
shore.
This man stood six feet two inches in his
stocking feet; he weighed considerably more
than two hundred pounds. without the
slightest appearance OF having an ounce or
superfiuous flesh; he held himself as erect
as a West Point cadet; his hair and mill
tary mustache were barely tinged with

Perfect Contract for Game well System at Cost of
 Nearly $5,000
SHOULD BE IN USE
 IN THREE MONTHS
Will Consist of Twenty Sta tions and Paid for in
 Installments

At an adjourned meeting of the city council yesterday, the city fathers de- cided upon the purchase of fire alarm system for this city, voting to enter into contract with the Gamewell Fire Alarm company for the installation of twenty box system.
 The installation will cost $4,SS0 and will be in operation in about three months, according to statements made by representative of the Gamewell company, who visited this city few weeks ago. The first payment will be made on December 15, the remaining payments will be made in two years af- ter that date and will bear interest at 6 per cent.
 In addition to the twenty fire alarm boxes, which will be installed at con venient locations throughout the city, complete equipment for central sta tion will be furnished and put in place When an alarm is turned in from any one of the boxes, the number of the box will be recorded at the fire house and at the same time large steam whistle will automatically sound the number of the box. The box number will, indicate it's location and enable the fire department to reach the scene of the fire at once.
 The fire whistle will be blown auto matically at a. m., 12 m. and p. m. serving as 8 time indicator as well as a fire alarm.
 The city council has considered the fire alarm matter for several months and has apparently acted wisely in voting to install this very important adjunct to the fire department.
 In addition to selecting the fire alarm system, the council disposed of a mum Der of routine matters.
 A sinking fund for the water bonds was created by which $100 a montl will be set aside This money will be used to purchase bonds or other inter est bearing securities in order that il may be earning additional money, be fore it is utilized to meet the bonded indebtedness entailed by the purchase of the water works.
 A number of other matters were taken up and will be completed at tho last regular meeting, to be held Thurs day night.
 All persons having bills against tht council are asked to present then Thursday night, as the present cOun cil desires to practically wind up its af fairs at that session.

NJ FEDERAL COURT THIS TERM Amount of Business Not Suf ficient to Justify Cost
 of the Session

That in all probability there will be no session of the federal court until next November was the announcement made last night by Judge E. w. Lewis, who has returned from Phoenix after attending the supreme court session.
 According to Judge Lewis, there is so little business scheduled to come before the federal court that the ex. pense of holding a summer term is con sidered unwarranted. Unless matters of unusual importance should arise, there will be no session called until fall.
 There are but three civil cases on the federal calendar and but two criminal cases demanding the attention of the federal grand jury. This is an unusual condition of affairs, which reflects cred it upon the morals of this community.
 Clerk George H. Smalley has return ed from Tucson and the district court session will be resumed in court this morning. Whether or not there will be readjustment of the district court calendar as the resul of the postpone ment of the federal session could not be learned last night but it is prob able that the majority of cases on the calendar will stand as they are now set and the proposed civil jury not called until next month.
