Carl Leonardt of Los Angeles appeared before the board in reference to the reinforced concrete tank erected by him for city. He said he expected to find the tank, which leaks badly, filled with water, but found it empty.

The figures for the of the inspection 1903-04 be initiated, because of the small samples examined, the difficulty desultory character of spection, and the fact that number of confessedly deficient collected were not analyzed to the promise of the mankind of withdrawing the goods used from the market.

The matter of the distillate tank upon the roof of the restaurant adjoining Warner’s barn was referred to the ordinance committee. The proprietor of the restaurant made complaint charging Warner with hitching horses to a post in front of the restaurant. The matter, which was complained of as a nuisance, was referred to the marshal. Building permits were granted as follows; Ferdinand Heying, for a $2200 residence at corner of Olive and Chartres.

Engineer Steward submitted plans of subdivision of tract, owned by Dominican Sisters on Citron street. The same were approved, on filing bond in $300 to open and grade streets within three months. Schedule of charges for installing electric lights, wiring, etc., was discussed by City Engineer Lewis and Mr. Houston. The board decided to continue such work, charging actual cost for the same. Prof. Walker, representing the Y. M. C. A., asked concerning charges for light used by the organization, which will meet twice monthly at the chamber of commerce. The board decided to charge 50 cents per month. Mr. Fiscus volunteered to pay for the light. Electrical Engineer Lewis was given permission to cut out street arcs as might be necessary, until new powerhouse is occupied. The board informally discussed the propriety of continuing all arc lights on streets until 2:30 a.m., instead of shutting off current at midnight.

Commercial Fertilizers The present year is the fourth of the existence of the State Fertilizer Control and of the issuance by the experiment station at Berkeley of publications dealing exclusively with commercial fertilizers. A recently issued bulletin gives the results of the inspections and analyses of the various brands found on the market during the half year ending June 30, 1907. The tables are commended to the attention of all those proposing to purchase fertilizers, as indicating the character of the goods and the reliability of the guaranties of the various manufacturers. It is perhaps not too much to claim that these systematic inspections have resulted in materially raising the standard of the fertilizers sold in this state. That such is the case we have been repeatedly assured by those who have had occ- purchase fertilizers before a time to time since the pasthe Fertilizer Control law. ation of this is offered in the real data the experiment stanow able to give.

One rib had to have been broken and rached faom the spine. The was badly sprained, as was and he was cut about the VALUE OF A GOOD NAME Norris & Rowe’s Circus Enjoys the Confidence of the Public. The value of a good name as a trade mark in winning the confidence and esteem of large numbers of people cannot be overestimated, and was never better exemplified than in the case of the well-known showmen, Norris & Rowe. Each season this really meritorious organization comes to us again, and we commend the honest policy which gives more than is promised. The present tour is known as the “Jubilee Souvenir Season,” as it marks the twentieth year of the partnership of Norris & Rowe. Costly souvenirs will be distribu­ted to everyone, as Norris & Rowe wish to acknowledge the com­pliment of many past seasons’ ex­cellent patronage of the public that has always greeted their efforts so generously. Time and again have other circuses with false names invaded the territory of Norris & Rowe, but somehow the public was quick to choose the real from the false, and the well-known western showmen soon had the field to them­selves again. Norris & Rowe promise us a great big new circus this year, and as their promises have been kept in the past, there is no reason to doubt the truth of their announcements this season.

London, Oct. 5.—Ali Ben Hamoud, the youthful Sultan of Zanzibar, who is now touring Europe, is said to be on the lookout for possible additions to his harem. The dusky ruler enjoys the distinction of having the finest collection of female beauties in the Orient. Rival harems, such as those of the Sultan of Turkey and the Shah of Persia, may be more extensive, but Ali is credited with exquisite taste, and he does not leave the duty of selection to a subordinate. Each candidate for admission to his seraglio receives the personal and critical attention of the youthful Sultan. Such care has had its inevitable result. Turkish, Arabian, Circassian, and European beauties combine to make the royal harem of Zanzibar the most superb institution of its kind the world over. If reports be true, the keeper of the royal harem is pestered with an almost endless stream of candidates. Several French and English beauties are known to be inmates. And a star of the Paris music halls, who mysteriously disappeared a few years ago, was showmen soon had the field to themselves again.

The tangible result country has been the plant-over six hundred million the most part by individual children, besides the interest in animate and inanimate in forestry. In Ireland the movement is now fairly widespread and is rapidly spreading out the country. The time planting trees is in the fall, in the spring, as in most states, viz: the week com-October 29th of each year. A circular was issued by Forestry Society to all the clergy and public bodies them to organize an Arbor the various districts. A response was received, and art came from all sections community, from peers, peasants, and artisans, not omit-school children. The Sultan's own knowledge of western life has made his harem very different indeed from the ordinary oriental seraglio. The luxurious splendor of eastern decoration has been toned down with occidental good taste. The inmates of the harem themselves are given every privilege, and it is said that they are eminently contented with their lot. At times weeks pass without a royal visit, and whenever one is intended formal announcement is made and the Sultan begs permission to present himself. The Sultan is almost as much a European as an African. He was brought up in England and educated at Harrow and Oxford. Although he is only 22 years old his great idea in life is to develop his own country and to bring it well to the front. At Harrow School Sultan Ali was immensely popular and was a great success at cricket. His skill as a horseman even in those days was extraordinary.

He went out frequently and was met in nearly every well-known place in London. There is a story of a Jesuit African traveler being invited by Prince Ali with him to the table of a prominent society one night, "if he was present at table." When the night arrived and her help had presented to her a well-used and set-up young fellow, but darker than many of her guests, without evening dress and the diastar of his country gleaming on breast and was told that this was Ali of Zanzibar, her confusion will be imagined. Then the young Sultan has familiar figure in all the courts and many other places before courts.
