1t is expected the much discussed
new city health laws will be stamped
with the approval of the city fathers
at the meeting of city council to be
held next Tuesday night. Already they
have occupied almost the entire atten-
tion of each of the two bodies compos-
ing council for several successive meet
ing nights.
The laws as drawn up in the draft
are sweeping, and include many meas
ures for which Alexandria has long
been in need. The question as to the
salary of the health officer formed a
stumbling block when the matter came
up for consideration by the board of
aldermen, but II II now predicted that
this little difference will soon be ad-
justed.
The common council, the lower body,
fixed the salary of the health officer at
81, 200 a year, and did not provide for
an assistant The aldermen, however,
reduced this salary to 5000 and provided
a salary of $500 for a deputy. The
latter. will in addition receive a fee of
so cents for each time he administers
the tuberculin test this being paid by
the owner of the animal inspected. He
will also look after the inspection OF
meat, cattle, and milk.
While not an especially remunerative
position, there Is considerable compet-
ton for. these offices, announcement of
which is yet to be made.
Most of the local produce dealers have
already complied with the section which
requires the screening Of edibles placed
on display.

HEIRS WOULD
SET ASIDE The
CUDAAY WILL
UNITED PRESS IDAsBD WIRE. |

Los Angeles, Jan 5,-Having
formed corporation known as the
Cudahy Ranch company, heirs of the
late Michael Cudahy are expected to
appear in the probate court today in
an attempt to have declared invalid a
five-years' trust clause in the pack
er's will.
The contention is similar to that
arising over the will of the late Sena-
tor Fair. Michael Cudahy after be-
queathing certain personal property
to his wife, left the remainder of the
estate in trust to Joseph M. Cudahy
Mary T. Cudahy and Edward j. Cuda-
hy. At the end of five years the prop
erty was to be given to the surviving
children of the testator, including
those mentioned in the trust clause
The heirs, who now demand an inn
mediate division of the property, de-
clare all claims against the estate
with two exceptions, have been paid

are not worth paying any attention to.

clerks held upon the Southern Pacific
train near Redding early today, Re-
ports gathered at Redding during the
excitement following the arrival Of
the robbed train distinctly said there
were two robbers. But the clerks now
state that only one bandit entered the
train at Red Bluff, and that he used
one of the three mail clerks as an un-
willing accomplice, forcing him to
bind and gag the other two clerks,
and then open the mail bags contain

robbery the bandit then bound and
gagged the third clerk, whom he had
used to assist him, and then made his
escape.

Redding, Cal, Jan. 5.-Entering the
mail car of the fast northbound Ore
gon Express at Red Bluff, shortly af-
ter a. m. today, two unmasked ban
dts bound and gagged three mail
clerks in charge of the mail car, and
after rifing the contents of six reg
istered mail sacks, jumped from the
train at Redding and escaped. The
exact amount of loot obtained by the
bandits has not been accurately de-
termined, but it is believed that it
will total several thousand dollars,
The clerks in charge of the mail
car were Charles J. Ryan, Robert
Warner and Rhein, of San Francisco.
The bandits boarded the train at Red
Bluff The engine had hardly got in
motion before they leaped into the
mail car. Drawing revolvers, the
two bandits commanded the clerks to
throw up their hands, While one of
the robbers covered the trio, the 9TH
er proceeded to gag the clerks by
stuffing hakerchiefs into their mouths
Then the clerks were securely bound
This finished, the bandits proceeded
to rifle the mail sacks Discarding
ordinary mail, they stuffed the valu-
able registered packages into their
overcoat pockets
When the train drew into Redding
the bandits leaped from the car,
George West lake, who carries the
mail to and from the postoffice here,
saw the robbers but paid no atten-
tion to them, believing they were
mail clerks. The bandits manifested
no excitement, walking quietly away,
The robbery was discovered when
Westlake started to pile the mail
sacks into the car. No clerk came
to the door to receive them. Jump
ing ito the car, he found the three
clerks lying helpless on the floor
Westlake quickly cut the cords bind
ing the three men and gave the
alarm.
There was only one policeman ri
the depot, but Westlake pointed out
the two bandits, who were still in
sight, quickly making their way up
the railroad tracks. Despite his eff

Utterly disgusted and tired of the
diatory tactics pursued by President
Morsen, of the Decshutei Land COM
pany, in supplying the State Desert
Land Board with information relative
to its Financial conditions. so that the
board may protect investing settlers,
Governor West this morning, at a
meeting of the board sought to call
the matter up, and he is still calling,
for the board passed him up "like a
white chip" and proceeded to the con-
sideration of other matters.
About four months ago the board
made a demand on this concern for
such a statement. Morsen came here
to attend a meeting, and when the gov
ernor asked him for it he told him to
"go TO -," with the result that the
governor made for him, and ordered
him forever out of his office After
ward the board modified its request
but no statement has come to the
board from Morsen.
Finds Himself Crossed.
The governor this morning directed
a letter to the secretary of the board
asking If any statement had been fur
nished, and urging an immediate re-
ply. When the board met he sought
to call up the subject for the purpose
of having the members define their
attitude on the subject He found him

self crossed from the start by Secre-
tary of State Olcott, who insisted that
the board proceed to investigate other
matters, and the governor continued
to insist that the Deschutes Land COM
pany affairs be taken up, but, finding
no support from the board, he finally
gave up. Whether he will be success
full in calling it up later and getting
action on it, remains to be seen.
Settlers Unprotected.
The concern in question has already
sold thousands of acres to settlers.
Water has been put on but little Of it,
and the settlers are suffering. The
company is availing itself of loop
hole in it's contract to avoid furnish
ing a statement relative to it's finan-
cial condition. The governor believes
that it should be either compelled to
furnish the information so that set
tiers can be protected, or it put out OF
business.
1t seems the company is still con,
tinuing to sell land, which means that
there will be more people separated
from their money, and it is possible
may find themselves possessed only OF
an arid piece of land. The governor
wants to put an end to this practice al
once, and that is why he was insistent
this morning on demanding publicity
but the board Saw it differently
