MR. BONSALL'S ELECTRIC LIGHT PROP.
OSITION.

The people of this city are under obli-
cations to Councilman Bonsall for the
valuable information he has furnished
them on the subject of electric lights.
He says that we are now paying about
$4,000 year for lighting the city. Any
person, whether conversant with the
cost of electricity or not, would at once
feel that such sum is far beyond what
any system of lights for Los Angeles
should cost. But when Major Bon
sail tells us that he has received
reports from one hundred cities and
towns in the east, many of whom sup
ply their own power and electricity, and
that in twenty of the latter the cost is
only about $50 per year for each 2000
candle-power light against 1922 that we
are paying, it is high time we should
look into the matter and take steps that
will place us ON at least footing
somewhere near that occupied
by eastern cities furnishing their
own lights. Mr.. Bonsall suggests
an experiment which will prove the
wisdom of his proposition, that we
should furnish our own power and elec-
tricity. He says that for $4,000 we can
put fifty-light dynamo into the base
ment of the city hall, where we already
have engineers employed This, he says,
would supply the business portion OF
our city. If we can save $172 year on
each light of 1000 candle-power, and we
have 27O of these lights, according to
Mr.. Bonsall's declaration that we are
paying $780, 900 year for lighting the
whole city, then by furnishing
our own power and our own elec-
trio lights we would save the taxpayers
the handsome sum of SAG, 900 year in
round numbers. This mode of putting the
case seems faultless and unanswerable
and nothing should stand in the way OF
carrying it into practice. 1t would be
an act of gross disregard of the rights o.
the Taxpayers to enter into two-year's
contract on the basis of past prices in
the face of the facts that Mr.. Bonsall has
developed in this electric lighting dis
cussion. If other cities are furnishing
their own lights at less than one-fourth
the sum we are paying for ours, we can
do the same.

remarked, the other day, that more
schemes of development are under way
in Los Angeles than on any other por-
ton of the American continent. One is
no sooner described than another comes
to the front. The last project we have
heard Of is the Westinghouse Railway.
Its promoters propose to acquire control
of the Los Angeles and Pacific Railway,
which was washed out by the floods last
winter, and which runs from the Sisters
Hospital to Santa Monica. Steam loco
motion is to be replaced by electricity,
and the plan contemplates the building
of several miles of the road in the city
proper. The Westinghouse Electric
Railway is said to be backing the enter
prise.

IT is a new suggestion, but we think

IT is a new suggestion, but we think
a good one, that Hon. S. M. White and
Hon. w. F. Fitzgerald should run on
their respective tickets for state senator
in this district. They could then discuss
the political issues to the delectation ol
our people. If Mr.. White should be
elected, and the legislature should be
Democratic, he could the more readily
direct his own fight for United States
senator. If, on the other hand, Judge
Fitzgerald were elected, and the legisla-
ture should be Republican, there would
be ample reason to believe that he could
give Stanford good fight. This would
be the easiest way of getting up debate
between these distinguished gentlemen.

IT is somewhat singular that Senator
Stanford is such an unconscionably long
time in making that much vaunted gift
to the state which has been discussed
for such long time. Newspaper talk is
often quite cheap, and the telegraphic an
nouncement that the property is to be
passed over to the state next spring, in
the presence of President Harrison and
other public functionaries, may or may
not be true. 1t will be noticed by our
readers that the event is postponed till
after the Senatorial election,

German Catholic Congress.

PITrsBuRG, Sept. 24.-In the Catholic
congress today a Catholic Union of
AmericanGerman Catholic Youths So
cieties" was formed. The object is to
work for the moral, spiritual and intel
lectual improvement of all German
Catholic youths in this country; retain
IS much as possible the use of the Ger
man language, and promote the welfare
of the Roman Catholic church in all
things.
A set of resolutions was adopted, de-
manding that children be educated as
parents see fit, owning obedience to the
United States, allegiance to the Pope
and preference for the German language
wherever possible.

WHEN men who are not accustomed to
talking get ON the stump oratorical
iascos are pretty sure to be the re-
suit. If the Republican State Central
Committee are wise they will send
their gubernatorial candidate home.
His fences hereabouts need reconstruct
ing very badly. His canvass in the
south is making very poor headway,
while it is said to be in desperate
state in the northern counties. The
people there cannot be disabused of the
idea that if Markham were by any
possibility elected Governor the State
would be divided.

THE BOOM STARTED.
Purchase of the Poston Place by w. II
Woodward Of Birmingham A Good
Citizen and Large Capital
Coming

i. f. Gill has sold his half interest
in the Poston place to w. III. Wood
ward, of Birmingham, for S.. 900 cash,
and Mr.. Woodward becomes half
owner with Capt. Gracey in the prop
erty.
The LEAF CHRONICLE has never
recorded any transaction with more
pleasure than this, because it is not
without very important significance.
1t indicates that Mr.. Woodward is
becoming interested in our growing
city and identified with our best bus
mess men in the progressive move
ment to develop our wonderful re-
sources. Mr.. Woodward is not only
a most worthy gentleman, whose cit
izenship any community might be
proud of, but he is man of large
wealth, schoOled i'll enterprise and
development, and will use his caEi-
tai to such good purposes should he
settle among us. He is educated
and trained in the irona business and
every step of his life has been crown
ed with success. He was one of the
first to- start in the development of
Birmingham, which has so rapidly
grown TO be large manufacturing
city. The fact that he sold his inter
est in that city, and starting out for
some new developments, gives
GAINESVILLE the preference in his fine
discriminating judgment, should be
in the highest degree encouraging to
our people. 1t simply verifes what
we have been preaching all along,
that no place in all the country offers
50 many inducements for large capt.
|'tal, and as a gentleman remarked to
the writer yesterday, this city is des-
tined to become a second Birming-
ham, and no man understands this
fact better than Mr.. Woodward,
whose experience and excellent
Judgment enables him to discern the
fact. ,..sa 49,, go 'sF'7'
What use these gentlemen intend
making of the property is not
known. 1t is valuable for many
purposes and is spIendidly located
for an iron furnace-near the river
with plenty of water and stone, good
building sites and on the line for the
belt railroad, or easily to be reached
by a switch from the l.. q N.

THE DEAD NAN rpENr1F1Eps
The Find In West Fork Proved to be the
Body of Albert Mills Much
Excitement

Some days ago the LEA-FCHRoNI-
Gle published an account of the
finding of the body of an unknown
negro man in Mrs. Logan's mill pond
on West Fork, Christian county, Ky.
A day or two after the body was
buried a colored woman named Car
rie Mills, who cooks for w. d. FL
liott's family in that vicinity, had
the body exhumed and identified it
by the clothing as that of her hus-
band, Albert Mills.
1t appears that Mills and his wife
hired to William Cloud about Christ
mas, and both proved to be excellent
servants. The negroes on the place
soon got into a general row. Louis
Meriwether charged Mills with the
seduction Of his daughter. He threat
ened to kill Mills on sight, and fell
aboard of his daughter, tied and beat
her almost to death. Some days
tdtOl WdILdHI Wdo ouVO Out AOA
Mills he was arrested blythe officers
to be taken to Hopkinsville for trial
on the charges. Mills was allowed
to go in the stable to catch horse to
ride to Hopkinsville and some how
made his escape, hiding under the
bluff. Nothing more was seen OF
him until his body was found in the
creek. His wife then left Mr.. Clouds
and went to work for Mr.. Elliott
The supposition was that Mills had
left the neighborhood. Suspicion,
we understand, rests upon Louis
Meriwether as the murderer, but nc
positive pioof has been brought tc
light. The case is being investiga'
ted and much sensation and excite
ment prevail in the community.
