WILL ORGANIZE LARGE
ORCHESTRA IN DAWSON
Will Have About 40 Members, In
Guiding Well-Known Musicians.

Prospects are on foot for a large
orchestra in Dawson at an early date.
The orchestra. which will be under
the direction OF Mr.. H. c. Hassel-
bring, will have about 40 members,
including the members of the band.
The rehearsals will be entirely separ-
ate from those OF the band, and the
two organizations will be without con
nection.
A number have already expressed
their intention OF joining the orches-
ira and about ten violinists OF the
county will be members. Rehearsals
will be held once a week and the cost
of membership will be just enough to
buy music
II will be some time before a pub
lie appearance is made, as a number
OF the members have never played

The Incoming Council to
Decide on Health Officer
Issue That Is Causing Much Interest
To Citizens of Dawson.

1t is understood that the incoming
mayor and council at their first reg
ular meeting will discuss the advis-
ability of electing a health officer in
Dawson in accordance with an ordi-
nance placed in the city code several
years ago but which has been unused
for some time.
Practically all cities OF any conse-
quence have an officer of this kind, and
Dawson is one of the few exceptions.
A health officer in Dawson would be
vested with the power of a policeman
and his duties would be to inspect all
property, both business and resident,
and report any unsanitary conditions.
Business houses dealing in foodstutfs,
such as cafes, meat markets, grocery
stores, soda founts and diaries, would
be inspected at regular intervals by
the officer and certificate giving the
degree of sanitation Of the place given.
At a recent meeting OF the council
Mr. A. l. Phillips, of Jordan's market,
presented himself before that body
and asked that an officer OF this kind
be appointed, since it was impossible
to sell his meats and sausage outside
OF Dawson unless they had the stamp
OF a sanitary officer here.
The election of an officer of this
kind in Dawson would mean a great
deal to the citizens in the way OF bet
ter health for the citizens and bust
ness intercourse with cities having a
sanitary officer. Typhoid and malaria
could be controlled to a great extent.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the issue and large num-
Der OF people await the decision OF
the council eagerly.

RED LANTERNS NOW MARK
CYLINDERS IN THE STREET
Are Intended to Prevent Accidents
In Bad Weather.

On account of the numerous minor
accidents and for fear of more serious
ones it has been decided by the city
officials to keep a red light burning on
the steel cylinders in the center OF the
streets on foggy and rainy nights. The
cylinders are perfectly visible in good
weather, but on bad nights it is al
most impossible for motorists to see
them.
The decision to put lights on the
markers is a good one, but there IS a
possibility Of the red lanterns now
used being extinguished by strong
puff of wind. A red prism, such as used
at railroad crossings would be the
thing. The light from an automobile
against the prism makes much
stronger light than do the lanterns.
The marker would pay for itself in a
short time in the saving OF fuel alone.
