BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1917. HOSKINS HAILS HOME FOLK IN’ SUNKYLAND; CAN'T RECALL SNOW Bismarck Citizen Writes Meet- ing Old-Timers—Perpetual Summer Is Enjoyed. R. D. Hoskins, who with Mrs. Hos - kins and their little grandson, is} rusticating in southern California, writes interestingly of his recent ex- periences in the land of cternal sum- mer. His \letter, to a Blsmarck | friend, follows: | Eternal Summer, | “Santa Monica, Cal., April 3, 1917. “It is really difficult to imagine that there is any place in the country that has such things as snow and ice, when I look out of our window and watch the surf break on the beach, notice the large flocks of gulls wheel around in mid-air, see all na- ture green and notice the folks sun | ning themselves on the warm beach sand. But such is the difference be- tween southern California and the reports I have just finished in the Tribune and other papers from home. ‘Lam sort of laying off todav from doing the country via the auto route. T have driven something like 2.9) miles in the last tw oweéks and a re- spite from this pleasure seemed good to me. Our apartment is minus all but myself, Mrs. Hoskins and the small grandson having driven over to Los Angeles on a shopping trip that trip is so full of pleasure to the female portion of a household and so contrary to the wishes of the mas- culine portion. What Real Roads Are ‘I presume every tourist starts in by saying something about the Cali- fornia roads, so I will not break the custom. I never supposed there could ‘be such roads any place as this cont try has.

Up hill and down, broad) smooth ribbon of asphalt stretches away and you are running 30 to 40 miles an hour before you know it. This road question is per- haps the reason of so many to re- sist, at least it is one of the principle factors. Out of doors all the time, | skimming over these. pavements, is| the occupation of most every person here. ‘Never has California enjoyed the patronage of so many transients as this year and all are satisfied, “~ Dr. Guild-.Makes: Good. : “{ strolled up to the office of The vutlookevery-tay: or two and chat with wr.

He has happened in | at an opportune time for the display of his talents as the burg is now in the throes of a civic upheaval, which is nuts for him, Santa Monica has about 8,000 voters and they are now engaged in signing petitions for ref- erendums, initiatives and the rest of the rights of the California voter. The great issue here is bone dry or license and this is coming up on the initiative route, aided by a referen- dum doing’ away with an ordinance prohibiting dancing in cafes where li- quor is sold, ‘assisted by a recall pe- tition for the mayor, joined in . i { AAA A jired aching feet feel re- freshed after an application _ of Sloan’s Liniment, do not rub, it penetrates and soothes.

But these ting signers, and the regular price paid solicitors is 25 cents per name turned in on the petitions. Securing petitioners is a regular, and well rec- ognized profession and helps out the spending money of a lot of young folks. I have been asked a dozen times to “sign up,” but much as 1 wanted to-help some charming young lady earn her two-bits, my residence is tod short to permit me to do so. ‘My observation of .this petition: bus!- ness here is ‘such. that I am not over- ly inclined to value their real worth. Entirely too many. folks ‘sign simply to help the canvasser, ‘snd not for the real purpose of the paper. In Mexico and. Out Again. “I drove over ‘to Mexico the other day, reported. at both United States and Mexican custom houses, was searched for contraband and was un- der two flags”*about a minute apart. Speaking of Mexico, they have a very effectual] way of dealing with blind piggers there. There,is no formal trial, but a very short military in- vestigation and if the presiding judge finds the defendant. guilty, he gasual- ly and simply orders the offender in front of the firing squad and in a few minutes there is one less violator of the liqour laws, Beautiful in its sim- plicity, quick in its action, unerring in its results. The method is even too drastic for some of our own folks, 1 imagine. However, Judge Nuessle is hereby told how they do it south of the border. Lunch With the Gages. “On our ‘Mexican ‘trip we had as our guest, Mrs. J. R. Gage, mother of Mrs. F. E. Young. The Gages are winter residents of San Diego and we had lunch with them at the beautiful Hotel Churchill, run ‘by an éx-James- town citizen. Also on this Mexican trip | run across the president of one of the leading national banks in western ‘North Dakota in the betting ring at the race course at Tia Juana, without doubt the biggest gambling affair that exists any place. Of course his name will not be given as we both pledged ourselves not to men- tion anything about that happened south of the stars and stripes. “A good many of the finest places to visit in.this country are closed now to visitors. All wireless plants are guarded and guarded a plenty; light houses are defended with barb wire fences; bridges and tunnels’ are under military control; war ships are closed to all visitors and the prepar- edness of the nation is in sight here much more than an inland man would imagine. There is a real fesr here that southern California is in for trouble from Mexican invasion and soldiers are in evidence every place. Other Old-Timers, “We have had the pleasure of auto- ing around with Miss Elizabeth Wag- goner, a former Bismarck lady, who is now the supervisor of drawing in the Hollywood schools; also had a visit with Mrs. M. F. Boucher, Mrs. Funke, formerly of Washburn, Mts. ‘Matchen, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Asa Patter- son, ‘Mr. S. 'M. Pye and many others. In fact, the woods are full of them and in one visitors’ register at Long Beach since January 1 I counted over 500 registered from the Flicke~tail state. Steele, Dawson, Napoleon, Mandan and Dickinson were well rep- resented on the book. Glad to Get Home. “I have engaged passage on the Governor, sailing from Frisco on the ing of the alley on the rear of the Haggart Building on the corner of Third street and Broadway, was read at the meeting of the commission held Monday. It was explained that about $40,000 in improvements are to be made in that portion of the city during the summer months. Commissioner Kirk moved that if the petitioners want the alley graded that the work must be done outside of the authority of the commission as the alley las never been laid out. Gardening Fad of Society Dames Now The back-yard garden is New York’s newest fad, said Governor Frazier this morning. \North Da- kota’s chief executive returned last evening from a quick trip to the met- ropolis, where ‘he spoke at Cooper Union last’ Friday. “Everyone who owns six feet of bare ground has a garden,” said the governor. “The wealthy women of the city have gone in for the movement, and every morn- ing, clad in overalls and with hoes, spades and rakes, they set out for Long Island, where all of the country homes and empty spaces have been converted into gardens. The wage- earning people feel the need of it as never before, and everyone, every where in the big city is talking gard- ens.” Governor Frazier did not find tae food situation so acute as he had ant- icipated. He is of the opinion that exaggerated reports were sent out of riots and other disturbances. That the food problem is a grave one there seems to be no doubt, but the people are meeting it calmly. “There are, of course,” said govern- or Frazier, ‘looking to North Dakota to do her share, and I am certain that North Dakota will.” FOR THROAT.AND LUN IGS.

City Attorney O’Hare will be in- structed by a communication from City Auditor Thistlethwaite that his presence {s:.wanted at all meetings of the city commission. ‘This action was taken Monday, when a_ reso- lution introduced by Commissioner Battey was unanimously accepted at the meeting of the city commission. The resolution read that the city at- torney must attend all meetings of the commission in the future. AUST ATTEND SESSIONS aired before the meeting in regard to the establishment of a road to the river from: Bismarck, and. that the commission should designate this old county road. Commissioner Battey moved that the report be laid over until the next meeting. mI WACHTER ETS CONTRA Will Furnish Team or Teams For the Sprinkling of the Streets of Bismarck This Year. The city commission Monday night awarded the contract for sprinkling the streets of the city to the Wach- ter Dray and Transfer Co., at the price of $110 per month per team. Commissioner Eest was the, only member of the commission to vote TO REMOVE ALL GARBAGE Battey Resolution Asks for Bids tor "Hauling Garbage From Sections of the City City commissioners in session Mon- day placed on first reading, an ord- night placed on first reading, an ord- inance introduced by Commissioner Battey providing for the removal of garbage from containers in the rest- dence and ‘business districts of the city from May 1 to November 1, and that bids be advertised to cover a per- iod of one year, the amount to be ex- pended to be payable from tie gen- eral fund. It is probable that before the ordinance is passed that the time will be made {rom April 1 to Novemb- er 1. Collections of garbage will be made twice a’ week in the residence district, this to be determined by the commissioners, OLD ROAD 18 DSGOERED ‘City Attorney Finds There Was a County Road From City to Paint- ed Woods 35 Years Ago. City Attorney O'Hare, with whom was left the matter of looking into a county road said: to have been es- tablished between Bismarck and El- bowoods, 35 years ago, sent a com- munication to the city commission ‘Monday that he learned the road was laid out in 1879 and at that time it ran from the steamboat landing to ‘Painted Woods and was commonly known as the River road, but in 1886 was changed so as to approach the city limits.- The matter was placed before the city attorney a week ago for inves- against the. granting of the con- tract. Frazier Boom For President Is Under Way “The Frazier boom for president is under way,” announced State Auditor Kositzky this morning. “I have a let- ter from a prominent labor leader in Chicago who insists taat Frazier must make the race. Frazier, he says, is the most talked of man in the east since his Cooper Union address. The governor this morning did not announce presidential aspirations. He did seem unusually cheerful, and apparently had thoroughly enjoyed his eastern debut as a public speaker. 6 eg Insurance Man Arrives—H. R.
