LOCATION—South of Santa City Trustees The city trustees met in regular session on Thursday evening, with Trustees Stock, Kroeger, Fiscus and Darling present. Absent, Mayor Rust. An application was received from C. A. Watson and R. A. Dunn asking for a franchise to lay gaspipes on all streets and alleys in this city for the transmission of gas for heat and power purposes only. The application was accompanied by a check for $50 to defray the cost of advertising the franchise. It was ordered the application be granted and bids for same are to be opened August 8th. It is proposed to pipe gas from the new company’s works now in course of erection at Fullerton. Wm. A. Frantz petitioned to have the sprinkler crane removed from in front of his residence, corner Olive and Center streets. Filed without action. Charles Schludler & Son made application for the payment of $1000 on their power-house contract. While no work has as yet been performed by them upon the structure, on account of the delay in finishing the wellpit, the firm maintains their work would have progressed thus far, whereby the sum asked for would be due them, had they not been hampered by the delay referred to. Their sureties agree to still allow their bond to stand, notwithstanding the fact that their contract technically has not been fulfilled. The trustees granted their request. Surveyor Steward addressed the board in reference to his labors on street work, he saying certain property owners have seemed to assume the authority to dictate and ask for changes in lines on streets in an eastern subdivision. He was instructed to proceed unhampered with his work and to pay no attention to the parties complained of. J. M. Pickering, freight Standard Oil Co. C. E. Lapp, two cars oil A. A.

MILLIONS OF MONTHS By June 30th it is sixty-five million poers will have been in a total sum of more WASHINGTON LETTER [RESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D.C., June 13, 1907. Economy is the watchword of the postmaster general. He believes in not only cutting down the expenses of the postal service, but the little ones as well. Just because he is after postal employees all over the country because they are going too much jute twine, caution them to avoid wasting it because they need to an advance of nearly 50 per cent in the price of jute during the six months, he finds that the appropriation of $200,000 granted by Congress for the purchase of twine at the postal service during the last year must be audited in the treasury department, against both the issuing and paying office, the audit represents more than a billion dollars. This vast amount of work is done by a force of 800 employees and constitutes, it is claimed, the largest auditing force in the world. The method of handling this enormous quantity of money orders is regarded by experts who have examined the matter, as practically perfect as well as economical. Visitors connected with postal affairs in foreign countries have expressed the opinion generally that the American government is far in the lead in this line of work, and quite a few of the postal departments of foreign countries have sent representatives to the United States to study the system. Money order files are retained by the government for a period of seven years before they are destroyed, and in weight will approximate 100 tons each. For years it has been the aim of officials to secure from congress permission to destroy the cumbersome files after a period of five years, but no matter how great the pressure brought to bear, congress has never taken action. REPORT ON PANAMA. It has been decided by the administration to afford the woman representative of the National Civic Federation every facility to investigate the conditions as to vice and other things that are said to exist on the Isthmus of Panama, in order to refute the charges of wrong-doing on the little ones as well. Just because he is after postal employees all over the country because they are going too much jute twine, caution them to avoid wasting it because going to an advance of nearly 50 per cent in the price of jute during the six months, he finds that the appropriation of $200,000 granted by Congress for the purchase of twine at the postal service during the coming year will be inadequate. The twine is used for tying up packages of letters assorted for descriptions by clerks in postoffices and the railway mail service, and the utility used during the present fiscal year is estimated at two million pounds. With a view to meeting emergency by the use of other means than that of twine for the types of letters, the postmaster general has appointed a commission of experts to thoroughly investigate feasibility of adopting tying devices as a partial substitute for twine. The meantime instructions have been issued to employees "to exercise the greatest economy in the use of twine" and "twine only sufficient for security should be used, its removal at points of destination should be made in such manner so render possible the further use of the twine. STORMED THE WHITE HOUSE. For the first time in history the capital of the nation has been enclosed by armed Confederate soldiers. They journeyed from sunny Tennessee a mission of peace and fifty miles, with clanking sabers attached forever in the love for a United country, the veterans rented from their train and reached direct to the White House, where they were cordially received by the president. Headed by a bearer with the Union flag they clung fondly to the bullet-torn signias of the Confederacy, and almost every man was decorated with red colors that they fought for. REPORT ON PANAMA. It has been decided by the administration to afford the woman representative of the National Civic Federation every facility to investigate the conditions as to vice and other things that are said to exist on the Isthmus of Panama, in order to refute the charges of wrong-doing on the part of Panama officials, and which were made and given wide publicity by a prominent clergyman. Armed with letters from Secretary of War Taft the woman representative will have a semi-official status and is certain to be accorded a courteous reception. Although government officials are unanimous in the opinion that the recent charges of vice, immorality and graft have been enormously exaggerated, they are anxious to have uncovered any evils that may exist, so that the proper remedies may be applied. The government courts, rather than shuns, scrutiny of conditions on the Isthmus by independent and careful investigators, and will be glad to avail itself of the results of their labor. Little attention is paid, however, to the statements of casual visitors on the zone whose charges are based wholly on hearsay testimony. The woman representative of the civic federation will remain on the Isthmus six weeks or two months, to inquire thoroughly and at first hand into the moral and sanitary conditions. War in Central America Washington, June 14.—President Zelaya of Nicaragua has thrown aside all disguises regarding his ambition to dominate Salvador and has taken steps which will undoubtedly bring about another war between Nicaragua, Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Zelaya practically has declared war against Salvador, the declaration being made in response to an inquiry from the United States government, presented by Consul-General Olivares as United country, the veterans lighted from their train and reached direct to the White House, where they were cordially received by the president. Headed by a coroner-bearer with the Union flag they clung fondly to the bullet-torn magnias of the Confederacy, and almost every man was decorated with the colors that they fought for. Beside of the White House they entered the Southern crosses and the Confederate emblems, and entered with the Stars and Stripes. It was an odd sight to see these sailors, dressed in suits of gray, arching up the historic Pennsylvia avenue, where the boys in blue draped during the memorable review of '65, and where in later years many Union soldiers have parsed in inaugural processions and and army encampments. Presitent Roosevelt greeted the "Johnny Bops" with his usual enthusiasm and admired to have won them to him, but they emerged from the audience clapping and with words of gratitude. The son of the South shook the head of the executive and extended him an invitation to visit Tennessary. After meeting the president, the veterans visited the public buildings, taking special interest in the war department. MILLIONS OF MONEY ORDERS. By June 30th it is estimated that every-five million postal money orders will have been issued covering total sum of more than $500,000,— Washington, June 14.—President Zelaya of Nicaragua has thrown aside all disguises regarding his ambition to dominate Salvador and has taken steps which will undoubtedly bring about another war between Nicaragua, Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Zelaya practically has declared war against Salvador, the declaration being made in response to an inquiry from the United States government, presented by Consul-General Olivares as Managua, as to Zelaya's connection with the recent attack and capture of Acajutla, Salvador, by Nicaraguan troops. Olivares' cablegram to the department of state follows: "I am officially informed that in accordance with the Central American union plan, President Zelaya has dispatched munitions of war and troops in aid of Gen. Alfara, who is the popular unionist candidate for the presidency of Salvador. President Figueroa opposes the union idea." This means that Zelaya is using his army to bring about the election of Gen. Alfara as President of Salvador, so as to dominate the affairs of Salvador in the event of the election of Alfara. War between Nicaragua and Salvador is inevitable, as President Figueroa of Salvador will oppose Zelaya. As Zelaya is the most powerful man in Central America he is feared by the other nations which know he has designs upon them. They will join forces with Salvador. George Wilcox, superintendent of the Pacific Creamery Co., was in from the Park the first of the week driving his White steamer.
