According to custom the Sophomores
will give a reception tonight in honor
of Mr.. Levering in Phoenix society

invited to cooperate with them and
the two classes In their love feast

is the first time Sophomore repre-

that class is feeling correspondingly
happy. The only other class having 3

person of Miss Gertrude Simmons, the
Indian girl, who received first in the
college contest in her freshman year
and second at the state contest. Each
class has thus had a representative.
and each has proven precocious, win

addition Mr.. lowering was freshman

classes thus claim him.

A GOOD LECTURE.
That of Prof. Fisks at the High Sohool
Last Night.

The lecture of Prof. w. A. Fisko at
the High school last night was a sue
cess in every way. There was an in
troductory talk full of interesting in
formation. and then came the trip
through the cave. fully illustrated with
some sixty pictures. The views were
shown with q stereopticon. and we're
very life like. The lecture was given
for the pupils of the grammar
and high school, and the attend
ance was so large that large num-
ber had to be turned away from the
doors. The attention was excellent
throughout. The only regret is that
the lecture was free, as it is we'll worth
a good price of admission. 1t con-
ta;ns all the elements of good enter
tainment, instruction. entertainment
and graf fication of the desire to be
more conyersant with that which is
most beautiful and wonderful in ma.
fure.

NO GAS
TO BE USED AT THE CITY
BUILDING

o"oo' thc U 0lHdUos of dt tHo SfoH1-
tory Notification From the Com
pany 10 the City Clerk. to Hard
Over to Councii.
The Richmond Natural Gas com
pany has forwarded communication
to the council through the city clerk,
notifying that body that the city must
at once cease the use OF natural gas in
the crematory furnace and under the
furnace at the city building. The rea-
son given is that the rapid decrease In
the supply of gas will necessitate the
greatest economy and therefore the
shutting off of the heaviest consumers.
Tne erematory has been one
of the heaviest consumers ev-
er since its establish
ment. two and half years ago. and it
has been run with that fuel for less
than half the amount the crude oil
cost for its consumption. The in
crease in expense from the use of coal
or whatever other fuel it will have to
use when the gas shall be shut off will
be considerable. bat it is impossible
even to approximate how much the ex-
pense will be increased. 1t is prob
able that while the gas for the creama-
tory has ranged from SO to 800 hither-
to. it will range not less than 1925 to
$3.50 per month under any other ar
that may be made. A cor
responding increase will be noticed in
the fuel bills for the city building fur
maze.
