HORSE FEED BILL
IS UP TO COUNCIL
Money Must Be Appropriate
ed Before City Can Stand
Equine Expense.

1t has been decided by City Attor-
ney Gardner that the city council will
be Obliged to pass an appropriation
before the feed bill for the horse own
ed by Homer Hammond, president Of
the board of public works, can be
paid for by the city. This question
was discussed at length by council
at it's recent session. each councilman
being opposed TO the boards action
in passing a motion providing for the
payment by the city of the feed bill
for HammOnd's horse.
Mayor Zimmerman contends that
the feed bill should be paid for by
the city, inasmuch as the president
OF the board is obliged to cover a
great deal Of ground in one day and it
Is impossible for him to walk over the
city. Councilmen declare that Ham
mond's salary OF $1,000 a year is
enough to pay for his horse feed
There Is no doubt but that Hammond
will never receive the proposed addi-
tional $18 monthly for horse feed. as
council is not likely to make the APP
preparation.

MONETARY PLAN OF
ALOR|CH UNSOUNO
Illinois Bankers Told by J. J
Hill to Reform System
Themselves.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Character
izing as "uneconomic and therefore
unsound," the business relations be-
tween the Central Reserve association
and the United States government pro-
posed by former Senator Aldrich in
his plan for currency reform submit
ted to the federal monetary commits
sion, James J. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great North
crn railroad, addressing the Illinois
Bankers association here yesterday,
urged the bankers of the country to
perfect a plan that would be under
their own control.
Mr.. Hill admitted at the outset that
the Omitted States has the most in
elastic currency system in the civilized
world" But he declared that political
connection is inherent in the constitu-
ton of the proposed reserve associa-
ton.
In this connection Mr.. Hill asserted
that if currency reform was not car
ried through under leadership Of
bankers of the country, it would "be
taken up by congress and suffer the
same fate that has befallen every
other great economic issue after it be-
came the football of party politics "
II want to make one earnest sug-
gestion about this so-called Aldrich
plan to the bankers of the country"
said Mr.. Hill Take it up for your.
selves, perfect it by the light of your
business experience, and make it
your own enterprise, under your own
initiative and subject to your own
control, instead of a creation of fed
eral law.
shape your own association for
yourselves, and ask congress for au-
thOrity under wise legislative regula-
tons, where such may be necessary,
to do this thing. instead of surren-
dering your rights as we'll as your
obligations for all time to a political
power.
"There is no part of the scheme
outlined which You cannot plan and
execute for yourselves better than any
congress can do it for you.
Your state associations and the
American Bankers association fur
nish all the necessary machinery
Taking up the question of currency
reform in detail, Mr.. Hill said:
"The bankers of the country are
now studying and discussing the plan
proposed by Senator Aldrich to the
federal monetary commission for it's
reform. He and his associates have
done a memorable work
"They have made the first compre-
hensive and scientific study of the cur
rency ever completed in this country
Their conclusions should be received

A SAMPLE OF PURE GRIT.

Everyone admires grit. But when
you find 1t in your underwear, the
chances are that your washwoman has
used laundry soap that has been dosed
with rosin. Rosin is not a soap ele-
ment--it merely adds weight. During
the soaking 1t sinks into the fibre OF
the washables and acts as binder for
the particles Of dirt which ought to be
and are removed when Hewitt's Easy
Task soap is used.
Just try Hewitt's Easy Task-made

more than the adulterated kinds. Five

 The mention of the names George Sontag and Chris.

Sontag has been out Ol prison TOT dDOut nNe yeaTS-after the earthquake and fire he returned to San Francisco and worked as drawing card at a restricted cafe and barrOom Large placards an nOunced that George Sontag, the train robber is to be seen inside" He worked in that manner unhin- dered, but the fad soon wore off Chris. Evans, al the time of their conviction in the early 90's. was sentenced to a long term in prison, as was Sontag. The latter, however, received the shorter sentence. While it has been always said they killed several people. no murder crime was ever traced to them-their op- eratiOns were confined to robbing trains and rustling cattle and hors. es. While in prison they confessed where some loot. stolen from Southern Pacific train. was hidden, and with the restoration of other property their sentences were even tually cut down from time to time, until both were given chance to spend the greater part of their lives as free men
