OPPOSES
ROAD TRACTORS
REJECTS BID FOR HAULING BY
GASOLINE OR STEAM.
Contract at Slightly Higher Figure
Awarded to Bidders Who Propose
to Do Work With Teams.

The city council went on recorC
last Friday night as being opposed
to the use Of a steam or gasoline
tractors in hauling contracts for the
city when the bid of Ralph Adams
was rejected and one that was some
what higher adopted, it being pro-
vided that the contractors in the lat
ter bid would use teams. The ques-
ton came up over the letting of the
contract for the Fairview avenue
improvement. Adams bid was for
ga cents per cubic yard and he pro-
vided that he proposed to do the
hauling with an engine. L. r. Ad-
ans and S. Martin offered to do
the work for 81 cents per yard prior
to June Z and for 81 cents thereaf-
ter, the difference being caused by
the new eight-hour law which goes
into effect on the above dat. A bid
submitted by Boydston & Black for
80 cents per cubic yard was not con
sidered. The mayor and city audi
tor were authorized to enter into a
contract with Adams & Martin,
the successful bidders.

Councilman Fenton reported that
a large safe had been ordered for the
city records and would be here in
few days. The cost Of the safe will

Matter Of placing a hydrant on
Uglow avenue was postponed pend
ing the receipt Of deeds to adjoin-
ing tracts.
An ordinance prescribing the man
ner Of passing city ordinances was
read the first time and passed to
second reading. This measure simply
provides more simple manner Of
passing ordinances and permits the
council to postpone action ON an or.
finance after it has been introduced.
On motion Of Campbell the city au-
litOr was instructed to serve notice
~ personal service upon the prop
'rty owners Of the cost of the curb
ng on Mill street between Mill and

Its size often becomes very largC
causing great trouble to the bearer
But its danger lies in its pressure on
the windpipe which softens the cal.
tlIage rings and finally congresses
them so that the patient dies from
sutfocatiOn. Especially dangerous i,
that form which extends below the
breast bone when a slight congestion
will often enlarge the goitre to such
an extent that the patient dies be-
fore a surgeon can be called to open
the windpipe and insert a silver tube
to breathe through.
Treatment of goitre by medicines
taken into the stomach as well as bv
salves applied locally has very little
effect.
Removing the goitre with the knife
IS one Of the bIoodiest operations
known to surgery, and if the entire
goltre Is removed causes a peculiar
form of disease which in a few wears
olteH Kills the patient.
The electrical treatment Of goitro
as used by DR.. Toel is free from
these dangers. There is no loss or
blood, no danger from surgical
shock or blood poisoning. no pain fo
amount to anything, and then only
m very severe cases. and above aiI
he patient is not exposed to the dan

ROBS S. P. MAIL CAR
AND MAKES ESCAPE

San Francisco, Calf, Nov. 18.-FOr
more than an hour a masked highway
man was in complete. possession of the
mail car on the Southern Pacific's shore
line limited No. n, from Los Angeles,
between San Jose and this city, while
the three mail clerks lay on the floor,
bound with ropes and their heads COW
cred with saclzs.
The bandit rif1ed all the registered
mail, going through the letters and pack
ages and disearding money orders and
other articles he did not want.
The robber entered the side door Of the
mail car as the train was leaving San
Jose for San Francisco. It runs
from San Jose TO San Francisco
without q stop. As the train re-
dueed its speed upon entering the San
Francisco yards, the robber DOeketed the
booty, babe the clerks goodnight, Jumped
from the car and escaped.
The performance duplicates one OF
about a month ago, even to compelling
the clerks to poke their heads mo mail
sacks.

CAMIFETTI DENIES o. S. Is
EXCLUDING HINDU LABoRERS

San Francisco, Calf, Nov. 18.-An-i
thOny Caminetti, commissioner general
of immigration, appearing for his branch
o the government IN a test case In the
United States district court here, denied
that it was the object of the governments
to exclude Hindu labOrers as 8 class
from this country. Judge DOoling had
remarked that If the immigration bureau
could establish a rule discriminating
against Hindu laborers any more than
against German laborers or those Of anv
other nationality, it had more authority
than he thought it had
The case on argument was a habeas
corpus action brought BY p Hindus from
Manila, who were arrested on arrival
here and held for deportation on the
ground that they were likely 20 become
public charges
By the courts decision viii be deter
mined largely whether OF not the bars
shall be let down for an Hindus now IN
the Philippines.
The contention Il the Hindus is that
they are no more subject to immigra-
ton restrictions IN coming to San Fran
cisco from Manila after being admitted
at the latter port, than alien laborers
would be IN shipping from New York
to New Orleans after having been passed
at Ellis Island.

SCRAMBLE is ON FOR
HAYDEN J. P. PLACE

HAYDEN. Ariz. Nov. ia heated con-
test has arisen in Hayden Tor the Oftlee
of Justice of the peace Of the Hayden
precinct, on account of the resignation
Of the former incumbent, NJ. NJ Rice
Rice was recently left a legacy by his
mother in Ireland and intended taking a
layoff in order to make a trip across
the ocean for the purpose OF making
arrangements for the collection OF his
portion of the estate. He was informed
that someone had been making COM
plant about him during the time he
has field office here, and consequently
he handed in his resignation, but to
date the board has failed to notify him
of its acceptance. About a half dozen
petitions have already been put out by
local people for the place, Is signatures
being sufficient for the board OF super
visors to act upon them.
Reports that were circulated IN this
vicinity to the effect that Ross Daley
was implicated IN the recent shooting
in Mesa of constable Peterson have been
proved false and two parties have now
been arrested and a confession given
by them. Mr.. Daley, though in the
district at the time of the shooting, was
in another part Of the town during the
trouble.
virginia OdbeS, Ine INFANT CHllu u
manager and Mrs. i. S. Gates, passed
away after a lingering illness in Ray.
The child had been under the doctors
cared for some time and as the case be-
came more serious a specialist on chill
dren's diseases was summoned from Los
Angeles. The remains were shipped to
Salt Lake City, the former home of Mr..
and Mrs. Gates, where interment viii
take place.
C. L. Knight has been summoned to
Los Angeles to appear on grand jury
work or Los Angeles county. Mr.. Knight,
though president of the John MaeIntyre
company and a resident of this locality
for the past our years, still claims Los
Angeles as his home.
Hayden has been visited by some
heavy rains of late, the first since the
early part of the summer. The coun-
Try has been undergoing a drouth this
year and local ranehmen are very iu-
bilant over the recent showers.
Deputy sheriff Nash took three prison
ers from Hayden TO Phoenix, where they
were taken BY auto for Globe.
P. G. Carney, with a number of men,
left for the Carney mine, located near
Troy, Ariz., where considerable develop
ment work viii be done.

MEMBERS OF ROAD
BOARDS ARE BARRED
Cannot Be Employed on Road Work in
Any Capacity, Says Opinion Of
Assistant Attorney General

Santa Fe, n NJ, Nov. 18.-Assistant
attorney general Harry S. Clancy has
put a stop to the practice of county
road boards employing one of their menu
bers as superintendent, foreman or boss,
or in any other manner. He did so in
an opinion rendered in answer to the
query of state highway commissioner
James a. French, who is also state en-
gineer: rs it unlawful for the county
roads board to hire and pay daily wages
to one of the members of the road
board while such member Is acting as a
superintendent, foreman OF boss 2"
Mr.. Clancy answers in the affirmative
and states his reasons as follows:
"'The members of the county state
board are public officers and it is their
duty to act solely for the public interest
without reference to their own and for
such a board to enter into a contract
with one of its members for the per
Torrance of any labor, OF to furnish any
supplies, would be improper, inasmuch
as the member so employed would
necessarily be called upon to audit and
pay an account in his own favor"
