SAFEGUARDS OF WATER
SUPPLY STRENGTHENED
BY CITY COUNCIL

Following an investigation OF the
sanitary conditions existing at the
head of Ashland canyon on property
owned by Jesse Winburn, known as
Sap and Salt in the Woods, former
ly Longs Cabin, by DR.. ]. D. Strick-
er Of the state board of health about
three weeks ago, action was taken
yesterday evening at meeting of

river, of the type known as a lug"
This particular one was named the
San Pan.
On the first night out as it grew
dark, small boat with three Chin
ese in 1t came alongside. The Chin
ese were armed and demanded the
surrender OF the crew and passep-
gers. This they obtained and had
all on board lined up for search when
Vance and Noe gave the war cry of
the University OF California:
Give 'em the axe, boys"
With that the six university men
made lunge at the pirates and
started deck fight which did not
end until the Chinese brlgands lay
dead on deck with the Americans
standing triumphantly over them.
In the battle fire axes, fire hoze noz-
zles and Delaying pins were used
freely by both pirates and the stu
dents.
When the fight was ended the
three bodies were rolled overheard to
float down the dirty waters of the
West river into the China sea, and
the little river steamer proceeded
on her way with crew and passen-
ger list much awed by the unwilling
ness of the Americans to submit to
the outlawry of the Chinese river
pirates.
"One of them had IA red shirt on
and thought he was from Stanford
said Clarke on his arrival here to-
day. otherwise we might not have
treated them so rough"
The only other Americans on
board the vessel on the trip to Can
ton were Miss May Manning and
Miss Ruth RldeOut American school
teachers from New York state.
The rest of the river trip was un-
eyentful. Mindful Of the possibility
of other pirate attacks, the Ameri-
cans kept in readiness but we're dis
appointed. When the vessel arrived
in Canton Official report of the "ln.
cldent' was made, but, according to
the story here Chinese officials
seemed to be uninterested and re-
garded the matter as unlmportant.

erto expressed fear on the part of
citizens that the water supply would
be contaminated by reason Of the
fact that Mr.. Wlnburn's property is
on the watershed which directs the
flow of Ashland creek. In a report
made to the city council last night,
DR.. F. G. Swedenburg, chairman of
the city board of health, stated that
the condition of the equipmen. OH
Mr.. Winburn's property was perfect
ly sanitary. Conditions on the prop
erty and in Ashland canyon are said
to be in better condition now than
at any time prior to the purchase
by Mr.. Winburn.
As part of the action taken by the
city council ID was decided to fence
the lower water intake to protect
the water supply from picnickers.
An ordinance was passed yesrer-
day evening regulating the installa-
tion and equipment of moving pic
ture machines in theatres The or
dinance was suggested by the state
fire marshal's department. ActansI
on suggestions from the same source
second ordinance embodying sew
eral fire protection features was
passed.
The second fire ordinance provid-
ed for the following measures: In
spection of all buildings within the
city limits by the fire department
not less than twice year; prohibit
ing the use of wooden receptacles
for ashes and the disposal of ashes
five feet from buildings: the observ-

ance of mo smoking" signs where
lire hazards exist; cleaning OF the

istence. The ordinance also makes
it unlawful for merchants to sell fire
works without special permit from
