Do, Town Against the World

Do. Town Against the World
Dog Town, or the district
lying west of Third street com
monty known as the Third
Ward, did itself proud last night
when 1t pull Z. off a new stunt
in the ~. - boosting in
this city Ewes, e the rows
of chau' arq"a pe'.n.nts were
put up Sore DAYS ag;. there has
been q .eel.ig in the Third
Ward that 'hsy did not get
fair play in the distribution of
remnants rs on'v ore had been
strung to the ent,r. block, and
they decided thai was not
enough, so th'v wer around to
the various narch nts in the
district, who g'adl' contributed
to the cause. Last wight they
sent out an invitation to the
public to come and emf ~ a hand
concert at the expense of Dog
Town and nearly all Of the
town responded. Promptly at
8 o'clock to tho strains of "a
Hot Time in Dog Town To-
night" a pennant reaching
across the street was unfurled
bearing the Slogan "Dog Town
Against the World" and the
fun was on. All of the business
houses in the district were very
artistical'y decorated in the
prevailing colors of red, yellow
and black with the national
colors neatly interviewer and
the pennants across the street
made it look more like a carni-
val ground than a business
street. The five station, city
bastile. electric light plant and
pumping station all came in for
their share of the decorations.
During the band concert a pla-
card was prominently displayed
bearing the legend "Trade with
Dan Album, the One Priced
Merchant" and as Mr.. Album
sells postage stamps for Uncle
Sam we will obey the instruc-
lions, especially as he has no
competition.
Taken as a whole the Dog
Town celebration was one
which would have done credit
to the town if the whole ponu-
lace had been behind it. The
new officers elected for the en-.
suing year to look after the
destinies of Dog Town are as
follows:
High Mogul or Mayor, Harry
Newton.
Assistant, to help Newton in
case they try to put anything
else over on the bunch, O. e
Evans.
The guy who handles the
dough, Sam Holmes
Chief Bouncer, who preserves
peace by his adverdupois, John
Shelton.
Chief Advisor, Soren Brown.
He who stands between Dog
Town and the rest of the city,
Ed Purcell.
Sport Fitzgibbon tried to get
an office but they disfranchised
him on the grounds that he
hasn't lived in the district for
three years but they nailed him
for a dollar anyhow.
They didn't have any more
offices so Vic Tamisiea was left
out but they promised him one
next time if he would stick
with the bunch.
DR.. Warren delivered an adj
dress yesterday before the
county teachers institute on
"The Mouth and Teeth and
How to Keep Them Clean, :"
under the direction of the Ma
tional Oral Hygiene committee.
This is being done all over the
land and is doing much good
by inducing people to preserve
their teeth by keeping them
clean.
The report of the pumping
station as given US by Jeppe
Thompson is as follows: Dur
ing July 1911 he pumped $780,
SIS gals of water. During
July 1910, he pumped 10,683,-
100 gals but much of that was
used in filling up the lagoon at
the city park SO that the
greatest city consumption was
in July of this year. The most
water used in one day was
