3 MILES OF NEW SIDEWALKS Few Larger Orders for This Class of Work in History of City—Circus Ordinance The board of city trustees at an adjourned meeting on Thursday evening passed to print a resolution of intention providing for the construction of 9000 feet of cement sidewalks and curbing on a number of outlying streets. Included among these streets are the following: Philadelphia street, from Broadway to the railway reservation on Santa Ana street; Chartres street from Olive to Atchison, Clementina from Chartres to Center, Helena from Chartres to Broadway, Center from Atchison to East street. With sidewalk construction for which bids will be opened April 4th, the city will begin the work of laying three miles of cement walks and curbing. The work it is estimated will cost $12,000. These latter streets are: Chartres from Lemon to Palm, Chestnut from Los Angeles to Palm, Oak from Lemon to Palm and Claudina from Broadway to the railroad reservation on Santa Ana street. This comprises one of the largest orders for sidewalk construction in the history of the city. The board on motion of Fiscus, seconded by Kroeger, accepted the site offered for the Carnegie library at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. The board at its previous meeting was informed that other sites would probably be submitted, but these were not in evidence, and the board very properly decided to accept the Broadway site. A deed and cer- itself in favor of accepting them when these changes shall have made, and all jogs in alley lines moved. Trustees Rust, Fiscus and Krueger were present. Absent, Darling Stock. The board meets again this event (the 28th) in regular session. HOW A CIRCUS HELPS BUSINESS WITH LOCAL STORIES It Takes Vast Amount of Meat to the Animals—Big Money Left in Town That it does local merchants good to have a big circus like the Floto Shows to come to town is evidenced by the large contracts by local dealers. It takes money to a great show, and it takes a vast mount of material to feed the emps and animals. Circus people live well, and only best of everything is used in the missary department. That a big leaves a liberal lump of money in at times is evident from the contract made here. To a local coffee firm mammoth order of 1,000 pounds of was given. From an equally well known grocery house $200 worth of goods was contracted. One hundred fifty pairs of shoes will be added to commissary wagon, three carcasses beef came from a local butcher as 800 pounds of animal meat. Several hundred loaves of bread feed hungry maws of the circus people and these too, come from local bakers. Seventy-five quarts of milk from dairies. Eight tons of hay, one hundred fifteen bushels of oats, two tractors and a host of other necessities were purchased in the city. All nearly $1,500 will be left here as result of the advent of the Sells Shows. One of the busiest men in connection with the show is Peter J. the only registered steward in the cus business, who has charge of feeding of the multitude as well as purchasing for the hundreds of h mouths. The date for the big shows, sidewalk construction in the history of the city. The board on motion of Fiscus, seconded by Kroeger, accepted the site offered for the Carnegie library at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. The board at its previous meeting was informed that other sites would probably be submitted, but these were not in evidence, and the board very properly decided to accept the Broadway site. A deed and certificate of title was immediately called for, and these will be forthcoming, according to Dr. Johnston, one of the donors, as soon as the abstract people can procure it. The library site having thus been definitely selected, and the size of the building therefore approximately determined, the authorities will probably in the near future call for plans for the building. Mr. Carnegie will be informed of the selection of the site as soon as deed and certificate of title shall have been procured. Work upon the structure will probably begin within sixty days, and the library be completed and turned over to the uses of the public by the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the city in September. The ordinance committee introduced an ordinance amending the license ordinance, in order to permit the Sells-Floto shows to creep under the municipal tent, as it were, and exhibit here at an impost of twenty-five cartwheels per diem. The amendment provides that shows of a seating capacity of 3000 or less shall be licensed at these figures, while larger shows will be touched by the municipality in twice that amount. Mr. Floto forwarded a check in the penal sum of $15 to defray expenses of tinkering with the ordinance, and, according to his advance agent who caused all the trouble, a bunch of ad valorum courtesies for use by members of the board will be on hand when the band begins to play. Mr. Floto and Mr. Fiscus will shake hands over the yawning chasm, and all hands will walk down the street together and some will have it straight and some will have a little piece of lemon peel in theirs. All will be as rosy as a Capistrano sunrise. The ordinance committee introduced an ordinance abandoning stena al-dairies. Eight tons of hay, one hundred fifteen bushels of oats, two straw and a host of other necessities were purchased in the city. All nearly $1,500 will be left here as sult of the advent of the Sells-Shows. One of the busiest men in connection with the show is Peter J. the only registered steward in the cus business, who has charge of feeding of the multitude as well as purchasing for the hundreds of h mouths. The date for the big shows, should be carefully noted, as this is only big one coming this year, is at Anaheim, Friday, April 5th. WASHINGTON CHATTER Considerable speculation is rife many quarters as to the legality of bills passed by congress on March 2nd, but dated and signed by the president on March 4th. In all pres short sessions of congress not a gle bill has ever been dated later March 3rd, the closing date, be that date this year fell on Sunday legislative day of March 2nd warried over until March 4th. The most important of the gee measures signed by the president March 4th was known as the rail hours bill, which limits the trainway company may keep its ployes on duty without rest. measure had a narrow escape, and was only through the strenuous forts of the clerical force of the ate, and by the turning back on clock, that it was finally passed by adjournment. It is held at the House that the date of the appl of this and other bills is a which in no way brings their reality into question, but if they should be raised by influences he to the so-called hours legislation friends fear there is a chance operations being suspended, to rarely at least. Among other bills proved by the president on March 4th, and which bear that date, are sundry civil bill, the agriculture and the general deficiency approaition measure. No Line to be Drawn The color line is not to be drawn the postoffice department in the ter of white and colored railway clerks working together on the cars. Although an intimation been given the superintendent o railway mail service that white o in the Middle West are prepari request the department to eff change so as to put the negro bunch of ad valorum courtesies for use by members of the board will be on hand when the band begins to play. Mr. Floto and Mr. Fiscus will shake hands over the yawning chasm, and all hands will walk down the street together and some will have it straight and some will have a little piece of lemon peel in theirs. All will be as rosy as a Capistrano sunrise. The ordinance committee introduced an ordinance abandoning steps already taken in the opening of an alley running from Lemon to Los Angeles street, in the block south of Center, where a continuation of Oak street will supersede the alley; also an ordinance providing for an alley running through the block north of Center street, from Lemon to Los Angeles, and appointing the following commissioners: J. J. Schneider, M. Nebelung and Wm. Schwenckert. Bonds of C. Schindler and Son for constructing new electric-light and water-works power-house were submitted, approved and ordered to the file. The first, in $2875, being half the cost of construction, with A. Nagel and J. Cassou sureties; second, in $1438, being a fourth the cost, with F. A. Yungbluth and Fred Pressel sureties. Certified check in $250 submitted with bid ordered returned. Otto Baum was granted permission for erection of an $1800 residence on Alberta street. Wm. Overholser submitted a map showing subdivision of his property at the corner of Olive and Sycamore. On comparison with the city map it was discovered that his alleys were not of the same width as those already established. Mr. Overholser agreed to widen them, and the board declared No Line to be Drawn The color line is not to be drawn the postoffice department in the center of white and colored railway clerks working together on the cars. Although an intimation has been given the superintendent of railway mail service that white cars in the Middle West are preparing request the department to effect change so as to put the negro runs which will not bring the contact with the whites, it is said that no such discrimination could made. Two particular objections which is said the white clerks have to mention with the colored on longer is that they are obliged to eat sleep in the same car, the regular of the department permitting a man on such a run, when his work rest. At certain terminals are provided dormitories in buildings where the clerks may see they see fit to do so, but these open to the negro clerks as well as whites, and the department does see wherein it has a right to disinate in the matter. 300,000 Pensions Work at the government pension reau is piling up at a rapid rate now, instead of decreasing the living force, as was contemplated months ago, it will have to be increased in numbers. Since the new ice pension law, enacted during last month of the session of congress just closed more than 185,000 applications for pensions have been filed it is the belief of Commission Pensions Warner, that fully 30% applications will be received by time all veterans entitled to a pension apply. The new lay allows the granting of a pension for seafarers in the Mexican and Civil wars, a rate of $12 a month to veterans two years of age, $15 to those five, and $20 to those who have retired the age of seventy.

The President's Cotton President Roosevelt has received numerous gifts of various kinds lately, but none more cumbersome or of greater size than the big bale of cotton presented to him by the Southern Cotton association of Alabama. When the gift arrived in Washington and was hauled to the White House in a big express wagon no one there seemed to know what to do with it, but finally the officials decided to place it on exhibition in the grapery of the agricultural department. Here it has attracted considerable attention and is viewed by hundreds of visitors daily. The cotton is securely held together by canvas and steel bands and the bale weighs, or did weigh when presented to the president, 485 pounds. Printed in fancy letters on the upper end of the bale is the following: "Presented to our President, Theodore Roosevelt, by the Southern Cotton Association of Montgomery, Alabama." Below this in colors are the heads of two vigorous-looking eagles and then follows the inscription, "No producer or manufacturer can succeed with extreme fluctuation in the price of the products he has to use." Drab Army Wagons It has finally been decided by the war department to do away with the old familiar blue army wagon, like the blue Civil war uniform, and in its place adopt the modern olive drab. Ever since the United States has had army wagons, blue has been the color they were painted. It seemed to be a color that appealed to the patriotism of the soldiers and was due pride of the wagon drivers. It didn't matter how difficult, the service, how long the trip or how muddy the road, the blue wagon always retained enough of its original color to be easily recognized as belonging to the army, when it hove in sight. Olive drab has been adopted as the regulation army color because of its invisibility and now the wagons must be changed from blue to drab so they will be in harmony with the general color scheme. The change will not be made without opposition and protest, according to the statement of war department officials, for numerous petitions have been received from old soldiers protesting against the change, some already having witnessed the experiments at the different army posts, saying that seeing the change made in the color was almost like attending the funeral of an old and true width, and a cement curb, be constructed from the South curb line of Chartreuse to the North line of Center Street; to the West side of Clementine Street City from the South curb line of Street to the North curb line of Center Street; said work to be done in accordance plans, profiles and cross sections heretofore duly adopted by said Trustees and on file in the office of Clerk of said City, and in accordance specifications contained in Ordinance of said City. 4.

Woods and hills are always inviting, and there is not a day in all the year when one cannot be quite comfortable outdoors. For the sportsman there is game of all kinds. Those who love the rifle can find deer in nearly every county in the state. In the wilds of the farther mountains bear and lion roam, furnishing excitement, while in the fastnesses of Upper Kings river may still be found a few grizzlies. The marshes, rivers and bays of California are the haunt of wild fowl in countless numbers, and it is an easy matter to get the bag limit any day. Back in the higher country, along the foothills, are rabbit and quail, and the streams are alive with gamey fish. Along the coast, in the various bays, fishing is of the best, and the catches are phenomenal with rod and reel. The camera devotee finds here grandest scenery, warmest colorature and softest of lights. Nowhere is to be found a more ideal country for the amateur photographer, for here all the conditions are right for most perfect pictures, obtained under most pleasant circumstances. In California one may have life in the open all the year round. In many parts of the state are to be found peo- people living in tents from one year to the other, and in every they are the people who are to its fullest the blessings of life in the spring the exodus of cities begins, and in all directions be seen the wagons of camping towards the chosen spots mer's outing all through the meadows and foothills. Here for four whole families live out of doors never a fear of rain or bad weather any sort. Generally within access of the cities, these campers are veritable summer homes for the city dwellers, and the families make diurnal trips from their business while they the family enjoy all the comfort benefits of life in the open. For the lover of pedestrianism is no country like California; are roads and trails leading beautiful sequestered spots, great trees, in forests through mysterious aisles fancy may days until one feels completely frm mthe world and all its care. It is natural, with such a climate enjoys, that outdoor should be the vogue. Probably where else in the world may so many people interested in sports as polo, tennis and go reason ascribed for this by our devotees is that "there is so much doors all the time that one re- Notice Inviting Street Work Proposals A notice inviting sealed proposals for the construction of cement sidewalks and cement curbs on certain portions of Chartres Street, Oak Street, Chestnut Street and Claudina Street, in the City of Anaheim.
