to do the impossible. We agree

While there is a class of Mexi-
can civilians who look upon the
gringoes as their enemies, there
is a class—the starving class, who
realize that with the coming of
the gringos would come relief for
the suffering, as told in dispatch-

He is trying to satisfy a consti-

American government. He is

FROM THE MAYOR.
The city scavenger is giving
more satisfaction to the citizen-
ship generally, than any man act-
ing as such heretofore. Still
there is some complaint. Our
ordinance requires him to visit
and clean each over ground closet
twice each month dpring May,
June, July, August and Septem-
ber—five heat months and once
each of the other seven months in
the year, his charges is 25 cents
each cleaning. Some few have
objected to his cleaning their
closets more than once each month
and will pay him only 25 cents
per month. Yet the city law re-
quires him to clean twice. The
city now instructs all persons to
pay 50 cents each of said five
months and not 25 cents each
cleaning, so whether you permit
him to clean once or twice each
month the cost is the same—50
cents and the scaivenger is auth-
orized to collect and it is made his
duty to report to the city council
all parties neglecting to promptly
pay those charges. The council
wishes to keep the city sanitary
and healthy land wants the coop-
eration of each citizen and will
stand behind each officer doing
his duty and see that the law and
rules are carried out yet the coun-
cil with pride states there never
was a time when our citizenship
worked more hand in hand with
each other than during this ad-
minist ration.
Respectfully,
J. W. POWELL, Mayor.
At every home where there is a
bal y there,.should also be a bot-

tains no opium, morphine or in-
jurious drug of any kind. Price
