Board of Trustees De­fers Appointments

The regular m onthly m eeting o f the C arm el-by-the-Sea trus­tees, held last Tuesday even ­ing, was som ew hat o f a disap­pointm ent to those who had hoped that the offices o f city attorney, city recorder and city marshal would be filled. D uring the day reports were circulated that these appoint­m ents would be made, but the trustees decided to lay the m atter over.

A com m unication from Geo. S. Gould, county assessor, was read, requesting inform ation as to the boundaries o f the new m unicipality.

A letter from D istrict A t­torney W. E . N orris conveyed the ch eerfu l in form ation that there was no m oney in the Carmel road fund, and fu rth er­m ore, that the fund had been overdraw n.

F ollow in g a discussion rela­tive to fire protection, Trustees Johnson and T aylor w ere ap­pointed a com m ittee to in ter­view the officials o f the w ater com pany, and to gather other! data.

Trustees Fraser and B eards­ley are a com m ittee to obtain inform ation a n d prices on books for the use o f officials. !

Ordinance No. Tw o, defining rules fo r conducting the pro­proceedings o f the board was passed and ordered published in the Pine Cone.

The secretary was instructed to advertise for bids fo r the publication o f ordinances, or­ders, preceedings, delinquent tax list, notices, etc., fo r one year.

To J. W. Hand, w ho gave the use o f his office fo r the in­itial m aeting o f the board, the trustees tendered a vote o f thanks.

A num ber o f com m unications from sixth class city officers, g iv in g details as to salaries, m ethods o f obtaining funds, taxes, etc ., w ere read and placed on file.

Love Affair Minus A Scandal

R eproduction in the Literary D igest o f the w orks o f poets, em bryo and those w ho have arrived, is considered in the nature o f a recogn ition o f merit.

J. R obinson Jeffers, who, with his w ife, has spent m ucb time in Carmel, recently pub­lished a volum e o f his verse, and the journal above-nam ed prints the fo llow in g selection :He H as F a l l e n in L o v f . W i t h

T h e M o u n t a in s He has fallen iu love with the

m ou n ta in s .How should he not be blest?

Him the high caiiou-fountains Feed with coolness aud rest;

Him the gray mists with pleasure About the day ’s release ;

The sleepy long noons with leisure ; And the eerie dawns with peace.

Remote, steel-gray, and scornful The peaks ; above them glides

Dawn, and purples the mornful Piues ou the canon sides ;

Day, and the ferny fountains Are full and crystal dim ;

And he who has loved the mount­ains,

How should they not love him?White be the fair young maiden,

And comely, without stain,Her lover sorrow-laden

W ill look for her in vain. Uphelped ; for she is human.

She will quietly pass by,Like every other woman

W ho has lived under the sky.Good be the friend, and grateful

For kindnesses of old,Yet will his eyes turn hateful,

Yet his heart’s love burn cold. Build house-walls of cut-clover;

Lean ou a fennel staff ;Put faith iu friend or lover,

And hear the high Fates’ laugh.Then to the far hil bridges

L ift up your eyes, and slake Your thirst among the sedges

That lock a mountain lake.Your changed fates bewail n o t :

Is mortal guile new-proved?But the mouutaiuB move not, fail

not,Never in vain beloved.

I f your business is in Carmel have your P rinting done at the Pine Cone Press.

Opportunity Still KnocksLess than two years ago two

young Italians purchased a farm on the Carson River, a few miles from Carson City, going iuto debt just $20,000 for the place.

Last season they raised h a y and grain and were able, by p e d d lin g vegetables and being very ca re fu l, to meet the first payment on the place. This year they p u t a ll the available ground in potatoes, an d the yield has been so good an d the prices so high that w h en th e ir present, crop is sold they w ill b e able to pay the balance d u e on thp farm. Their crop tlna v ea r w ill net them over .$20 ,000.

They had the nerve an d w ere willing to work. And w h ile th ey were doing that, how m an y sm a rt young men were loafing au d w o n ­dering why there was no c h a n c e in this wide world for them to m ake a living or do something fo r th em - s Ives.—Carson Weekly.

Value o f Learning Spanish.Am erica ’s greatest market

opening is in Latin-Am erican countries. K now ledge o f Span­ish is indispensable to those w ho would participate in this trade. At least they must hire men who know Spanish. K now ledge o f Spanish w ill get a man a job if lie is otherwise qualified ; which is more than can be said o f the other lan­guages taught in the public schools. Yet Spanish is taught very little in the public schools o f this country. Apparently that is because o f the notion which seems to afflict too many pedagogues, that the schools must never do anything that the schools o f our grandfathers didn ’t do.

ORDINANCE NO. TWO.AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RULES FOR CONDUCTING THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, AND PRO­VIDING FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF ANY MEMBER OR ANY PER­SON FOR DISORDERLY BEHAVIOR A T ANY MEETING OF SAID BOARD. ALSO FOR COMPELLING THE ATTENDANCE OF THE AB

SENT MEMBERS.

A Business Asset.The M onterey banks recog­

nize the value o f advertising, Both the Bank o f M onterey and the First National Bank making regular yearly appro­priations for this purpose, and these banks are recognized as tw o o f the strongest and most conservative financial institu­tions in California. These banks know that it pays to ad­vertise, and that it pays to sup­port a newpaper that is a news medium for Carmel and a worthy representative o f this section wherever it goes.

Proper advertising will also pay in every line o f business, provided a merchant will give it a little time and attention, and endeavor to back up his printed statements with good goods, fair prices and proper service. If he does not give any thought to his advertising, and makes no attempt to back up his publicity, the cost < o f his space is largely wasted.

The Board o f Trustees of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea do ordain as follows :

Section 1. At the beginning of each term the President of the Board of Trustees shall appoint the follow­ing Commit tees to consist o f one member each who shall be known as Commissioners.

The President of the Board shall he the Commissioner of Finance.Action 2. All business brought be­

fore the Board shall be referred to the appropriate commissioner for his investigation, report and recommen­dation iri reference thereto, before any action shall bo taken thereon by r̂the Board as a whole, except the bus­iness in question be of special ur­gency or of such nature that it may ’ e disposed of immediately. Upon a four-fifths vote of the Board any Commissioner may be require^ to report his recommendations in writ­ing.

Section 3. Ordinances may be given their first reading upon their intro­duction by reading the title only. Second reading gliall be in full unless dispensed with by unanimous vote, and the third reading upon final pas­sage of the ordinance may be by title only unless a full reading is again requested by a majority of the mem­bers.

.Section 4. The minutes of the Board of Trustees or journal of their proceedings required to lie kept by the Clerk shall be neatly typewrit­ten in a special looseleaf journal book, with each of the different kinds of business transacted set off in para­graphs with proper sub-heads.

Until a substantial fire proof vault has been provided for keeping the

public records, the Clerk shall keep the original copies of all ordinances and wherever possible, copies of all other official records, in a fire-proof safe deposit box or boxes which he is hereby authorized to lease for that purpose.

Section 5. The Commissioners of Finance, Streets, Sidewalks and Parks and Water and Light, shall consti­tute the auditing committee who shall examine and approve all bills in writing before the same may be paid.

Section 0. The following shall con­stitute the order o f business to be followed in conducting the regular meetings of the Board.

It shall be the duty of the Marshal, upon order of the presiding officer, to eject any such member or person from the boardroom.

Section 8. In case a quorum should not be present at any meeting and important business remains to be transacted or disposed of, any two members of the board may cause a written notice to be served person­ally upon the other members direct­ing their immediate attendance, whereupon the members receiving such written notice shall be required to attend immediately except in case of sickness or death in their im­mediate family, otherwise they shall !,e liable to a fine, penalty or forfeit­ure to the city in the sum of Twenty five Dollars, recoverable by a civil action in the Recorder’s Court.

Section 10. The proceedings of the board shall be governed under “ Rob­ert's Rules of Order” on all matters pertaining to parliamentary law, but no ordinance, resolution, proceeding or other action of the board, shall be invalidated or the legality thereof otherwise effected by the failure or omission to observe or follow said rules.

Section II. All notices o f special meetings must be delivered person­ally to the members of the Board of Trustees in the time, form and man­ner provided by law.

This is Cruel.A correspondent sends us the fo l­

lowing clipping, with the suggestion that “ The Pine Cone should increase its size:”

Paper soaked in water makes one of the best and cheapest fuels that can be obtained, according to scien­tists. By a simple and easy process, which anyone can undertake, an ac­cumulation of old papers, whether wrapping paper, newspaper or bags, can be converted into fuel for stoves, fireplace or furnace.

All that is necessary to do is to pile the papers into a tub until it is one-third full and then fill the tub to the brim with water.

Let the papers soak thoroughly in the tub for two or three days. If they show an inclination to float, weight them down with a stone until they are completely covered by the water.

After they have been thoroughly soaked, they are to he taken out and pressed into balls about the size of one’s two lists, and then allowed to dry in the sun.

The water has made the papers so soft and pulpy that it is easy to Form a perfectly compact hall. These balls will dry if they are left in the sun long enough until they become as hard as wood, and will burn with a glow like that of carbon briquettes.
