400 IDLE

OS ANGELES, Nov. 15.-General
Chaffee. head of the Los Angeles
aqueduct bureau, today confirmed
a report that every miner employed
on the new municipal waterway, is
en- strike. More than 400 men are
idle, according to Chaffee's state
ment. The strike was caused by
the advancement by the aqueduct
board of the price of meals at the
commissary from 25 to 80 cents.

THE FINDINGS.

The FINDINGS.
"Charge /, contained in the
charges filed by Mr.. Elliott before
this council, has been sustained.
Charge 2, filed in the charges
by Mr.. Elliott, has been sustained.
Charge is as follows; We, up
on investigation, find that there
was a conspiracy, but that there is
no evidence to show that Mr.. Sui
livan was in any way connected,
and therefore exonerate Mr.. Sulli
Won on this charge
Charge 4. We find that while
Mr.. Sullivan did refuse the Spo-
kane Press access to the police
blotter, he did so upon the advice
and opinion of the corporation
counsel, and therefore find this
charge not sustained. However.
that if the police blotter is open
to inspection to one or any paper
it should be open to all.
Charge 5.-Protecting houses of
ill-fame. We find that while the
same is sustained by the evidence,
it could not have existed except
and alone by the knowledge and
consent of the board of police COM
miSSioneTs and the mayor, and
further find from the evidence ad-
duced that since the filing Of said
charge these houses have been
closed.
Appointment Rules Violated.
Charge 6. Favoritism in ap-
pointments on police force. We
find that the civil service rules
governing the regulations of the
police department have been gross
ly violated and, while Mr.. Sullivan
made the recommendations, the
appointing powers are vested in
the police commissioners who made
the appointments on his recon-
mendation, and therefore, the
charges as to Mr.. Sullivan are not
sustained.
Charge Z. We find that after
the filing of these charges Mr..
Sullivan has resigned from the Of
flee of acting chief, and further
find that the mayor, through his
appointment of Sullivan as acting
chief for about 16 months, disre-
garded the provisions of the city
charter requiring him to appoint a
chief of police, and should be held
equally responsible .or any and all
acts of the office during that
period.
Wanted Captain to Appear.
charge s. From the fact that
the chief of police refused to make
defense in the case when called
upon to do so by the council, we
can see no other way than to sus-
tain charge 8.
Whereas, During the hearing of
these charges against Sullivan the
testimony seemingly developed
charges against Ol4lcers Hogan and
Downey and other unknown Off
GERS that they received money
from prostitute sfor protection of
such person or persons to ply their
unlawful business;
Now, therefore, we recommend
= to the police commissioners to
tmake a careful investigation of
Isaid charges at once and make their
. report thereof on the same and file
= the same with the city council, and
from date hereof recommend the
said Officers Hogan and Downey

streets, were surprised to read in
the papers one day that the board
of works had recommended to the
council the establishment of paw
ing district in the Cannon Hill sec
ton and the installation of some
thing like half million dollars
worth of Improvements.
A HOW AROSE.
Then there was a howl from the
people who had not been present at
the meeting and who did not be-
lieve that any seven men had the
right to arrogate to themselves the
authority to determine that nearly
a thousand others should be COM
PEELED to pay for expensive street
improvements.
Then a petition was gotten up.
But it wasn't a petition in favor of
paving. 1t was petition of protest,
and there were 235 names on it
| when it was sent to the city council.
The council, however, couldn't
see where any such percentage Of
the property owners had the right
to block needed CD Improvement,
and the petition was ignored, the
district being established despite
the protest.
1t was just a little case of seven
people deciding that they wanted
something. Then they went to the
board of works and asked for it.
Sure" said the accommodating
commissioners. Anything your
fond heart desires" and presto, the
seven got what they wanted.

GOOD SEEDS MAKE GOOD GAR.
DENS.

Seeds of the best quality are apt to
fail through improper treatment, by
sowing the seed too deep or too shall
low; in too wet or too dry soil. Seeds
differ greatly as to temperature re-
quired for termination. Some will
germinate rapidly at a certain tenn
perature, while others, il sown under
the same conditions, are apt to decay,
and for these reasons it is imperative
that great care and judgment be exer-
cised in selecting seeds, planting and
caring for your crops.
Be sure that you select your seeds
early to avoid possible delay in get
ting your order delivered, and also to
fortify yourself against any possible
rise in prices, which is sure to come
to the late purchaser. Seeds for west
ern planting must be particularly
adapted to this climate, altitude and
conditions. The large seed houses.
such as the Barteldes company OF
Denver, have experts constantly test
ing and grading their output, SO as to
improve the quality wherever possible.
There is no question of doubt but that
the splendid record the Rocky Noun
tain country is making in yield per
acre is due in no small degree to the
fine quality of acclimated seeds that
are being SO generally used.
