From Friday's Daily Within the next few days if the weather conditions will permit, the annual clean up week in the city will take place when the war on the? rubbish, debris and other fire dan gers are cleaned up and in this movement every citizen should join in real earnest. In the list few jears through the energetic efforts of Fire Chief Oscar Sandin and the interest of the people in general the dangers that caui" fires has been cut to a very low figure and this is due largely to these cam paigns that has cut out many of tho possi?;le fire traps. There are a great many places in the business section where the rear of the business places shelter poten tial fire traps that should be remedied or done away with in order to lessen the chances of fire danger and also large and unsightly heaps of ashes are piled, the leave overs of the win ter season. The spring season brings with it the desire to strip off the traces of winter, to blossom forth into the freshness of spring all cleaned up and ready to start the season right and many are planning to have their homes painted, th elawns fixed up In proper shape and a general cleanup of the residential districts. With the general desire in the springtime to throw off the cloak of winter there is the need of the gen eral cleanup and with Dr. Sandin as the pusher there will be a general effort to get rid of the fire dangers in all sections of the city and es pecially in the business section of the community where the debris cf winter has been allowed to lie around and add to the dangers of fires. Every citizen should make thera elves a committee of one to see that every effort Is made to eliminate the conditions that might tend to low ers the splendid rating of the city as to the fire record, and prepare to co-operate with the chief of the fire department in cleaning up the city.

The police gathered in four of the heat victims who were wandering on the street and confined them in the city jail for the night so that they might annoy no one but themselves with their overheated condition. The party had started evidently before the strangers arrived here and in the confines of the jail they enjoyed themselves until the morning came and they were ushered forth and warned to hit the route to the land of the rising sun. The men were veteran hoboes and realized that they would be expected to get forth from the city as they were released with the warning not to return. The mem bers of the party however were per fect willing to stay as the guests of the city but a3 the penalty for their condition would bring only a large feed bill onto the city it was decided that they would be better off elsewhere and accordingly the exile was pronounced by the police.
