What Alaska Indians Smoke.

How would you enjoy lipeful Of
wood shavings saturated with a
strong solution of pepper as N after
dinner smoker" asked William l..
Quinn of Portland, Ore Strange as
this may seem as substitute for to-
bacco, it is nevertheless used as such
by Indians along the Alaska coast.
Their mouths are often made raw by
the practice, and the eyesight Of many
is affected by the strong fumes. 1t is
no uncommon practice among farmers
to smoke the leaves Of the tomato
and potato plants. While both these
plants contain narcotic poison, the
smoking Of leaves in modwaticn is
harmless. Excessive use, though.
produces heavy stupor. from which
the smoker awakes with a terrific
headache and a feeling Of utter ex.
haustion. Insanity and suicide have
often been caused by the immoderate
use Of these two weeds. Rhubarb,
beet, and even garden sage leaves are
all smoked by farmers. but are per-
haps the least harmful of substitutes
for tobacco"

In blanche the attitude of the peo-

Americans in working it.
There are legends of fabulously rich
placer deposits in Mosquito. the
farthest northeast of the departments

nuggets weighing from four to fifteen
ounces, brought out by the Indians.
This region, however, is an unex-
plored jungle, impossible for beast and
nearly so for man.
In the northwestern part of Hon
duras are some very rich placer mines
worked by Americans, ane few ledge
mines owned by foreigners. At San
Juancito, seven leagues east Of the

and operated by New York and native
capitalists, and this Is the richest
mine In the country.
There are no industries worth the
mention in Honduras the foreigners
are shy Of investing. fearing the un-
stableness of the government, and the
natives lack the capital wherewith to
develop their natural resources.

Female Doctors.

AT the annual meeting of the trus-

that women should not be resident
physicians and surgeons. Bishop
Weldon argued that women doctors
were not worth as much as men for
the treatment of all cases, and most
patients disliked to be treated by
women physicians. There is no such

DYE WORKS MUST LEAVE
RESIDENCE DISTRICT
Vigorous Protests Made to EX-
Cepting the Berlin Plant

The Banquo's ghost of the present
council, which Is the demand of the
Berlin dye works to have its plant at
Washington and Griffith excepted from
the residence district, stuck up its head
again yesterday long enough to be
"swatted" by the public welfare COM
mittee. The committee denied the re-
quest and sent about 100 anxious resi-
dents and property owners home happy.
Most of those who appeared before
the committee yesterday to protest
against the exception were women and
they unfolded their. domestic woes.
They declared they could not keep their
homes clean because of the SCOT from
the dye works, and when they put
freshly washed clothes on the line they
were soon blacker than before they
had been put in the suds. Their olfac-
tory senses were offended by the smells
from the plant, they said, and the ma
chinery buzz made their heads hurt.
Councilman Stewart, chairman of the
committee, said there would be no
more exceptions of small parcels from
the residence district, but a compre-
hensive plan of industrial districts
would be outlined.

FINANCIAL ISSUE HALTS
FURNISHING OF OFFICE
Controversy Raised Over Equip
ment for District Attorney

Chief Deputy Hartley Shaw of the
district attorneys office appeared be-
fore the supervisors yesterday TO learn
what had been done in regard to mt
ting up the district attorneys ofhces
in the new hall of records. The su-
pervisors ascertained at recent ses-
sion that it would cost $4,000 to 1ur-
nish rooms for the distritc attorney,
beside the original cost of the other
furniture for his offices and the mat
ter was referred to Shaw to learn
whether it would lessen expense To call
for bids instead of letting the con-
tract to the present contractors. ShaW
could not decide, so the board came
to no definite decision yesterday.
The supervisors voted three to two
again yesterday on the hall of records
furniture problem. Manning and Prld-
ham, who opposed the acceptance OF
the California Furniture company's BID
for S247 700, voted against the ellmlna-
ton of unnecessary furniture from the
list furnished by the company and re-
fused to have anything to do with
the deal unless the bidder furnishes a
list of prices so that the board will
know what is to be allowed for arti-
cles rejected.
The furniture company has refused
to give the board a price list of the
furniture, stating that it will indicate
prices in one sum after the list has
been cut down.
The board donated 500 for the cele-
bration of the new federal building on
Saturday evening, october 8, and sent
a communication to that effect to the
citizens committee which has charge
of the celebration.

terday was sentenced to serve twenty
years in the penitentiary at San Quen-
tin by Judge Willis of the criminal
department of the superior court.
Laughlin was arrested with George

went forward to see what they want
ed, Of drawing a revolver and order
ing him to throw up his hands" He
ducked beneath the counter, and the
discharge of the weapon merely re-
suited in the smashing of few bottles

made their escape, only to be arrested
shortly afterward.

COUNCILMEN PROTEST
AGAINST PAVING COST
Four Members Hear Explanation
of Plans for Improvement of
County Highway

Four members of the council who
yesterday heard the South Main street
Improvement association tell why the
city should pay a part of tn cost OF
paving South Main street to connect
with the county highway. expressed
disapproval of using the city's funds
for that purpose. Councilman O'Brien
favored the project and succeeded in
having the matter referred to the
board of public works for recommen-
dation.
The matter was before the streets
and boulevards committee. ]. M.
Glass presented the case for the in
terested property owners. He said
that ii was intended to make Main
street and the connecting county road
the highway from Los Angeles to the
harbor and that on that account an
unusually heavy pavement would be
required. AS the street was to be "a
main artery he believed the city should
pay half the cost of the pavement from
Thirty-seventh street to Slauson ave-
nue..
Councilman Gregory, chairman of
the committee, said there was some
justice in the claim, but that as the
city was heavily burdened and unusual
demands had been made upon the
general evxpense fund, he would not
approve 1t until the city was deriving
revenue. from the Owens river water
and power.
Councilman Whiffen, another men,
ber of the committee, was also OPP
posed to it. Councilmen Andrews and
Stewart, who were sitting with the
committee, oppose the plan of the city
paying any part.

university dump" is the way the
proposed earth fill that is to constitute
a bridge across the Arroyo Seco to
connect Pasadena avenue with South
Pasadena, is characterized in resoiu-
tions filed yesterday with the city
council.
The resolutions were adopted by
citizens in the northeastern part OF
the city who do not want the arroyo
defaced with dirt fill that is required
to answer the purposes of a bridge,
It is proposed to construct TINS art
fill directly across the most attractive
part of the arroyo, which would for
ever destroy the beauty of the pro-
posed arroyo park" the resolutions
continue. The protestants want the
bids which are to be received by the
board of supervisors held until plans
and specifications for concrete bridge
can be prepared. 80
City Engineer Hamlin declares that
with the Salt Lake railroad joining in
the project and paying one-fourth the
cost for the use of its part OF the
bridge, a handsome concrete structure
wider, more enduring and more at
tractive could be built for $l44,OO0 The
city is to pay third of the pro-
posed dirt fill, the county one-third and
South Pasadena one-third.

FIRE COMMISSION ASKS
Is ADDITIONAL MEN
Chief Says Several Companies
Short Handed-Wants
10000 Feet of Hose

AS the council has been so generous
in increasing the police force, the fire
commission believes ii should add
something to the fire department and
yesterday voted to ask for twenty-five
additional men.
These men, if allowed, are to be
placed in the engine houses in the
congested part of the city and some
of the trucks now undermanned will
be given full companies.
Chief Eley reported to the commits
sion yesterday that there are now only
enough men to an engine company to
handle one line of hose from that en-
gine and that when it becomes neces-
sary to man ladders or lifelines
that streams of water that should be
kept playing on the flames must be
turned off until the firemen can devote
their attention to it.
The chief wants to increase engine
companies Nos. 4, 5, and "A to twelve
men instead of ten; truck No. from
eight to nine and one lieutenant; truck
No. 2, eight to thirteen men and one
lieutenant; truck No. 3, from three to
seven and one lieutenant and truck
No. 4 from three to seven men and one
lieutenant.
Chief Eley also recommended and the
commission indorsed his idea, that the
council at once exercise it's option on
$4,000 feet of fire hose and that the
necessary money to pay the cost be
appropriated from the general expense
fund. This will require an appropria-
ton of SII,4uv for hose, as there is
$6450 in iae fire departments fund that
can be used for this purpose.

terday instructed Superintendent of
Fire Alarm Perry to install ten Gre
gier police signal boxes at points to be
selected by Chief Galloway and to in
crease the voltage in the central alarm
bureau so that the boxes may be han
drel on the present system. Mr. Owen
objected to increasing the voltage on
the ground that in doing so Cregier

for Strayer to bring eggs into the
store for sale. Olivera would receive
them and send them to the stores 8
candler to have them candled. He
would make out a receipt for them
and send them back to Olivera. Oil
vera would raise the amount of the
eggs to several dozen more than what
Strayer had brought in, and Strayer
would present his voucher to the
cashier, accordingly.
