WATER RATES TOO HIGH

REGULATE PRICES.
A Technicality Causes the Petition

Prepared.
WATER RATES TOO HIGH
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL. Dec. H.-The trouble be-
tween c. w. Wright, president of the
American Land and Trust Company of
Larkspur, and the patrons of that corpo-
ration has almost reached a climax In
stead of adopting less belligerent atti-
tude upon finding that the courts gener-
ally favored the people of the town,
Wright has pursued the even tenor of his
way with the regularity OF the ticking of
an eight-day clock, and in consequence
the residents of Larkspur have appealed
TO the Supervisors to fix a time for regu-
lating and controlling the prices of the
water dispensed by Wright, who is really
the corporation"
This petition. which is signed by thirty
two persons, recites that the American
Land and Trust Company is a corporation
controlling the water supply of Larks-
pur and has been engaged In business for
four years; that prior 10 April i, 1885, the
prices of the corporation were controlled
by an agreement entered into with its
patrons, put that in March, 1885, Wright
notified the patrons that the company
would, after April l. demand its own
prices. The petitioners aver their belief
that such prices are eNtortionate and
greatly in excess of what would be al
lowed by law, and accordingly ask that
the Board OF Supervisors regulate the
amounts TO be paid by residents and
householders.
The board submitted the petition 10 DIS
trict Attorney McIsaac for examination.
To-day that official handed in an opinion
that the petition should be rejected for
the reason that fewer than twenty-five
OF the signers were taxpayers and their
names were not on the assessment roll
This defect will probably be remedied i'm
mediately and new petition presented
III the petition is properly signed the Su-
pervisors are required by law TO name a
day on which the prices of water in va
rious quantities shall be fixed so as tc
allow the company TO make only certain
percentage of profit on its investment.

D. Y. B. HENAR|E

Suit.

ED TO TRANSFER 1T.
She Claims, However, That he Was
Under the Undue Influence of
the Man She Names as
Defendant.
VALUABLE STOCK THE OBJECT
SAYS HER HUSBAND PRETEND
ED TO TRANSFER 1T.

Mary A. Henarie. who escaped mention
In the will Of her late husband, d. V. Il.
Henarie, the wel-known liquor dealer,
has sued Louis d. Radgesky to recover
possession of stock in the Eastern Oregon
Land Company valued at $40 600, which
she alleges belongs to decedent's estate.
In her complaint Mrs. Henarie alleges
that when she married her husband on
December "a. 1854. he had no property or
means Of any kind. but since that date
he acquired property valued at over ST.
COO. 900.
Mrs. Henarie alleges that on February
last, Henarie, without consideration, in
dorsed the shares of stock sued for and
conveyed them to Radgesky as a pretend
ed gift. without the consent of the plaint-
III to her irreparable injury and damage.
Hence she prays that the court RESTRAIN
the defendant from transferring the
stOcl-; that he be compelled 10 account
for the profit OF the stock and reconvey 1t
TO the plaintiff.
In an accompanying affidavit Mrs.
Henarie complains that for six or seven
years prior TO her husbands death he was
weak and sick and entirely under the
control and dominion of Radgesky, VINO
by his Vaccinations and wicked and ille-
gal and unlawful acts so unduly infiu-
enced and controlled the mind Of the de-
ceased that he had no power or will 10
do anything in business. except as the de-
fendant might direct him. During this
period in which Radgesky so exercised
this control the deceased could not and
would not accept any social recognition
from his friends unless he first obtained
Radgesky's permission, and consequently
the defendant estranged and alienated all
the friends Of Henarie."
Continuing Mrs. Henarie says that
"Radgesky, TO further carry out the ne
farious scheme to enrich himself at the
expense of the community property of the
marriage, caused old employees OF
Henarie's in the business to be discharg-
ed and would not allow other employees to
| talk TO the deceased or be with him under
a penalty of dismissal from such employ

to say. Weare not wholly unknown

connected with the paper in some

doing this we need the mutual help

New Enterprise.

Some four weeks since from the
state of Minnesota came Charles B.
Mason and his mother, sister of
our predecessor, for the purpose of
engaging exclusively in the raising
of goats.
Being thoroughly pleased with
this country as the proper place in
which to launch into his chosen
vocation, Mr.. Mason has lost no
time i'll making his preparatory
movements. Tuesday he filed on
a claim about a mile and a half
from Eddyville and Wednesday
went to that place to begin work.
The greater part of this fall will
be utilized in making ready for his
flock. He will erect ample barn
room for his entire flock, keeping
but a small number in a place, and
so arranging them that they will be
accessible at any time for the flock
and be warm ard dry.
From B. +. Grant Of Harlan he
has purchased sixty head and will
go to the valley later and finish his
flock.
Mr.. Mason is a young man OF
good habits and we'll used to the
careful caring of good stock, and
will doubtless make a success of
this business. He is a great lover
of stock and this, also, will tend
toward his success.
When his flock has been gather
ed together and multiplied a
couple of years, he will have
one of the largest flocks of goats in

Kindness is an efficient aid in in
creasing milk yield and costs moth
ing. The more a mixer can make
his COW love him as she loves her
calf, the more milk she will give him.
Investigations show that it it prob
able that considerable portion of
the milk is secreted during the
operation of milking, especially
the rich milk which comes last.
Abuse and excitement reduce the
secretion and not only lower the
quantity of milk given, but often
lower the percentage of butter fat.
Kindness and petting make the COW
contented and put her nervous sys-
TEN in such a condition that the
fullest yield is given. This is not
the only cause, but it is chief
cause, of the wide variation in but
ter fat sometimes shown in cream
cry tests. Hurrying cows, running
them with dogs, beating them or
speaking roughly to them will re-
duce the yield of milk and per cent.
OF butter fat. A change of mixers
will often lower the per cent. of
butter fat until the COW becomes
fond of the new mixer.
