Contraltos stout will sing for him
And for his verdict wait In fear
While he is far away from here
Idly his arms swing! Alas
Through now how frequently shall pass
The lightning OF his Jove-like glance
When watching some new tangled dance.
Then hear his dictum "She lacks 'flaire
She has no charm, she is not fair
For grace, she is the hippo's peer
Take her, oh, take her, far from here!"

You've seen him passing through the niRht
As down the Great White Way he swings
In greateoat with It's Tapping wings.
A hat like Wagner's on his head.

Mozarts sweet smile while drinking beer.

morning the team, which was left
apparent cause for fright whirled
around and dashed madly down the hill
toward the business portion of the city.
H. W. Powell, who was delivering the
Heights mail during the illness of
Homer Woodwork, had just started on
his daily round. He saw the fright
ened team and turned out of the street
near the City Bakery corner in order
to let them pass. However, the effort
of some one opposite the bakery to
stop the runaways caused them to turn
and collide with the horse drawing the
mail cart which was instantly killed
its body having been impaled by the
pole of the milk wagon.

YAMAGUCHI WRITES
CONCERNING GARBAGE

At a recent meeting of the city
council H. Yamaguchi, a Japanese,
was made official garbage remover.
The following is his polite petition for
the privilege:
Ia Oak St., Hood River Oregon.
March, 1911.
To His Honor. The Mayor of Hood
River,
City Hall,
City.
Dear Sir:
|, the undersigned, respectfully
beg of your generous appreciation on
the subject, which | herewith submit
to your unprejudiced and impartial
consideration.
The writer has lived here since last
fall and thence to this labored as day
worker in most of your family resi-
dences. Thus | became accustomed to
notice the wastes from the kitchen and
dining table, empty cans, and all other
kinds of rubbishes scattered all around
these fine homes.
From oft perceiving this disagree
able. filthy and unhealthy sight, | have
come to the conclusion that your fair
city has at present no regular licensed
garbage-man.
In view of the existing situation,
provided that your approval and per-
mission afford me franchise, | shall
at once become legal "refuse-remov-
er." Then | shall make contract
with each house to dispose of certain
quantity of refuse at a reasonable
charge once week. | shall take the
collected wastes to the spot to be here
after approved and assigned by you.
1t is not at all early, as your Honor
we'll knows, to prepare now for the ap-
preaching summer, when the cOntagi-
Gus germs are very apt to propagate.
Not only from the sanitary, but also
from the esthetic point of view, it is
one of the most desirable and beneti-
cial undertakings to exterminate the
enemy of health and beauty of this,
the most fortunate and progressive
city. Should this writing be fortunate
enough to receive your kind endorse
ment, would apply for the license, and
pray for the facilities necessary to
carry on the work.
Very respectfully submitted,
H. Yamaguchi.

opposed.
The meeting was well attended and
characterized by the warm debate be-
tween those advising the eXpediency of
purchase at the present time and those
who deemed it unwise to make such an
expenditure until later date and un-
der more pressing need.
