Gold Dust Makes Pot and Pan Spick and Spaa CITY TO CIRCULATE PETITIONS Suggestion is Made to Do Away with Chance of Protest. OFFICIALS FAV0K; THE PLAU Petitions for Material fer Farias Gives Too reat at (hsatr t Make Ratlre Prorrrdlnsi Void, "ays ftheldea. To-obviate protests against petitions for the Improvement of streets within the olty limits a suggestion that the city circulate all petitions, designating the character of material, has been made. Protests, In the greater number of in stances, arise as a result of the fight which contractors make to get their ma terial named after the ordinances creating street Improvement districts have been passed. Two such protests have been filed within a week. The latest I that of prop erty owners along North Eighteenth street from Nicholas to Charles street. The pro testors state that when the petition was circulated It was for naming the kind of material In the event that the street waa ordered paved. The protestor then declare that the petition was changed so that It ordered ths paving of ths street. The protest will be referred to ths city eounoll next week. "If the city would handle the petition for material to be used much of these pro tects would be avoided," says Councilman Sheldon. "Under the charter a majority of the. property .owners, must sign for the paving of a street. Then They are given thirty dsys to name the kind of material, which must also be done by petition, un less the character Is named In the original pitltlon. when It must bear the signatures of thiee-flfths of the property owners.' "It is this second petition which affords opportunities fo- Irregularities. If there are sny. Now if the city would have Its street Improvement department canvass the prop erty owners ss to the kind of material wanted the situation would be less exciting. "It would be a very simple matter, too. An employe of the rlty could go among the property owners and offer them peti tions, calling for the various materials and stating the cost. The owner could sign the one elected and then there would be no question as to the signature." Many Schemes Worked. "All sort of schemes are worked by contractor and property owners, them selves, to raise a question of regularity,' say Wood Hartley, city abstracter. "This department Is constantly on the lookout (or Irregular signature and many, petition are thrown out because thsy do not conform to the ordinances. "Often times a property owner wUl sign a petition, naming condition under which the street Is to be paved. Buch a signature la Immediately scratched out. Others will sign for property, which la not In the dis trict at all. Many agent sign for owners, when they are not authorised. "8ome do It from Ignorance; others be cause tbey want a loop bote, which wul throw the roots on the city. "We have to be on our guard at all times Before a petition Is certified the signatures are thoroughly Investigated. . About the only comeback Is that of the genuineness of the signatures and we have no mean of knowing this." Soap and muscle won't clean your pots and pant properly thoroughly.

V.' mmm 11 ai lvASHBURH-CROSBYc; OLD MEDALFLOUlt vAyi))vf Property Owners Ask that Sprague Street Be Parked Are Given Little Encouragement by the Park Board Street May Be Paved. A delegation of property owners In the vicinity of Kpraaue street and the Levi Carter park, .appeared before the Board of Park Commissioners Wednesday afternoon and asked that Sprague street from Thir ty-first to Levi Carter park he made a part of the boulevard system. W. C. Corson, acting as spokesman for the delegation, contended that the street should he taken over and the park board provide for Its Improvement. An ordinance for the paving of the street Is pending In the city council at present. Because of a lack of a quorum, the park board was unable to transact any business, but the petitioners were told that there was little hope for their project. The street Is forty feet In width and property owners are unwilling to dedicate enough land to make the width 130 feet, as required by the board. The owners were told to pave the street, snd it would be used for boulevard purposes, as It would afford an entrance to the pnrk. A petition from property owners that Paratope park, In the Saratoga Court ad dition, be taken over by the board, was also received. The petition was filed, to await the next meeting of the board, which Is scheduled for April 10.

"Progress In these lo calities last year was somewhat retarded because of the Inability of employers to get brlp and unless the situation Is relieved the eame condition of affairs will prevail this year for the reason that there are a great number of people looking for farm hands, ranch hands and irrigators, who art unable to secure the sen-tees of such per sona because of the shortage of labor, generally In the Big Horn Basin."

Jours Cahfisll Com fas v Camden N ) Look for the red-and-white label $150 Piano Puzzle Checks at 75c Want to buy a nice, flashy, seal bedecked, $150 Piano "Gold Bond." for 7 5c? Want to buy THREE HUNDRED of them at 26c each? Well, I can give von tbe names and addresses of THREE HUNDRED owners of such Gold Bricks (beg pardon, I meant "Gold Bonds") and I have the letters right in front of me NOW. I have also a miscellaneous assortment of 350 letters from persons who are not loath to depart from Piano "Certificates," "Drafts," and "Checks," all of which were "awarded" by philanthropic piano concerns because certain persons had solved a 'difficult" puzzle. Think of It! 650 disappointments. EVERY letter in that pile In front of me represent a dis appointed and even humiliated person,' for has not each writer "figured" out some puzzle and sent it in to capture a "prize"? And did he not get a prize? Yes. he did NOT! However, he DID get a beautifully colored, fria zled edge, dated, stamped, signed and much count ersigned "Gold Bond," "Check," "Draft." or "Cer tificate." The piano concern issuing the lot of cer tificates I bave in front of me now, were particu larly liberal, for three-fourths of the certificates were maJe out in amounts of $150 each the bal ance at $75 each. But an award that Is duplicated 650 times in ONE bunch of mail, is NOT an award it's a "fake." The persons offering to sell 650 certifi cates, checks, drafts, etc., KNOW by this time that they HAVE NO REWARD for "solving" Piano Puz rles else WHY should they offer their precious "checks," etc., for 75c each? I never write anything that cannot be proved and I am going to quote a few extracts from letters that I ACTUALLY have, (letters may be seen by interested parties.) In each of the quoted extracts the names of the concerns and tbe names of tbe letter writers have been omitted, bnt remember, the letters are REAL: "I would like to say that I, bave a check for $150. Name your price and answer Boon." "I dropped you a letter yesterday morning, but I guess you think this is too much to pay for a check. I'll tell you what I will do. If you will call tt and Inquire for I will sell you this $75 check for $2." "I have a and a Piano Check for $149.50 Gold Bond for $75. I rill sell both of them to you for $1.50."' "I offer check having a face value of $75. I hold the same at tbe insignificant sum of one dollar." ' "Face value of check is $146. Will accept anything that looks like a piece of money," "Am anxious to dispose of this check and will take $1.60 for it. It has a face value of $150." 'I hold a will sell it for 75c. Piano check for $75. I "I hate a check for $75 on and I will sell It at 75c. P. 8. If you know of anyone else that wants one, a relative of mine Is willing to dis pose of one of the same amount for 75c." "Have a $75 Gold Bond on a piano. What Is It worth to you In cash? You know best. If you don't, Just send 50c and that will be all right." "I have a piano heck for $75. Call and get it at your own price. Anything goes." i And here is one from an inveterate "puzzle solver." He, hag the habit, you see. He must have gone against Piano Contests, for he offers a each firm. Here is his letter: and "Certificate" on "Enclosed please find a) $150 Piano Certificate which I got for solving puzzle. I also have one for $150, which I got awarded to me be cause I solved puzzle. And If you want a $75 Gold Bond on you may have the one I got from them, you mean business." Give me $3 for all three If . "I have a $75 Piano Check on offer me anything." Please While YOU solve the "puzzle" advertised by a piano house, TEN THOUSAND others have also solved the puzzle, and the ENTIRE TEN THOU SAND SOLVERS ALSO GET CERTIFICATES OF FERING THEM A DISCOUNT OF $150 ON A PIANO. "Do YOU think It is a REAL discount?. Always bear in mind that pianos of KNOWN value and extreme high reputation, CANNOT be offered at $150 discounts; for Instance, such makes as the old "Boston Chlckerlng," "Ivers & Pond." "Packard." "Kurtzman," or "Henry S. & G. Llndeman," all of which are for sale by THE BENNETT CO., of this city. This Article Written for the League of Anti-Contest Piano Dealers. Copyright JDU by T.
