After 24 hours notice the city officers have the' right to clean up the streets and alleys abutting on any and all property and a lien for the expense may be taken against the property. The same law applies to the cleaning of filth and rub bish from lots and blocks. The penalty runs as high as $50 fine or 25 days iinprisoninjut. Under the ordin ance no manuie or garbage is allowed to be placed in the alleys from March '1st to November 1st each year. ' All persons are are warned not to throw any paper, vegetable or fruit peal ings or other refuse on the sidewalks gutters or streets. It is the intention to have a regular scavenger officer appointed who will in the first instance contract with the owners for cleaning up or notify them so they may clean up themselves. If no action is taken by the party who is notified to clean up. the city will clean up and file a lien on the property ar.d a warrant will he placed in the hands of the Marshal for the arrest of persons who refuse or neglect to clean up. on conviction before the Recorder, the fine will be from $5 to $50.

Davis, the hustling, up-tc-date music dealer, returned last evening from Portland where he spent the past week looking up trade notes in general, in the music line, " ' Mr. Davis states that while the hot weather is driving many people from the city to the se coast and the various summer resorts, the music business seems to go on unabated as all the deal ers report a brisk trade. Being the local representative, it is quite natural that Mr. Davis should spend most of his time in the big .establishment of "Eiler's Piano House." It is remarkable that while this Co. has tried to stop the retail business, they are soiling on an average of eighteen pianos a week. People seem bound to have "Eiler's Pianos." Mr. Davis placed a large fall order for pianos, tome of which will be here within a few days. After looking over the field very thoro ughly Mr. Davis is .convinced that the Talking Machine business has come to stay and not wishing to be behind in the line, placed a large order for bo:h Victor and Columbia Graphophonns and records of both makes and by Thursday or Fri day of this week these will be in, which will give lovers of this art. a collection of from 150 to 200 of the latest records from which to select. The sheet music line was hot overlook ed and as a result the "Temple of Music" is well stocked with all the latest popular and classical music!
