\ common article of food in the
West Indies is flour made from tbs
bread fruit. The fruit is cut into

then ground to powder in a mortar and

usually takes with him when travelling
far from his home, and he well knows

1t is highly probable that another in

packed in boxes with a busting of fine

But if the curing and packing are

editorial the Hard Times indicts Pres

THE mayor announced before the
council met last night that it was the
firm intention of the city council to sd-
vertise for bids for lighting the city
and to award the contract to the low
est bidder. The International Light
and Power company asks for a fran.
chise so that it may be enabled to bid
for the city contract. Although the
new company will not be dependent
upon the city contract for its existence
the citizens are certainly entitled to
the benefits of competition, and the
franchise should by all means be grant
ed as soon as possible.

LET US hope that the mayor and the
city council will not attempt to work
another rabbits foot on the people like
the one they tried few months ago in
reference to the electric lighting
contract. Bids should by all means be
advertised for, and the contract award
ed to the lowest responsible bidder.
And, gentlemen, don't let US have any
more of that star chamber business.
Let us have it all honest and above
board. The whole city is interested in
this matter, and no pri-
vate interest should be al
lowed to influence the decision
of the council away from the line that
is best for the city. Favoritism to none
is far better than favors to all or few.

| In Denver there has been for some
time lively fight between the people
and the city tramwsy company. The
Post, which has bravely champion ed
the cause of the people-so bravely
that 1t has at present on it's hands a
civil suit for libel amounting to 800,
600 besides action for criminal libel
against it's publishe rs-has shown tn at
the company at present in control has
been guilty of all sorts of corruption,
and that it is consistently and continu-
ally robbing the people by its tax
lodging, exorbitant charges, and
poor service. The fight was all one
sided for time. The company de6ed
the city council and the administra-
ton and claimed a perpetual franchise
over all the streets of Denver. The
tune of the company swas suddenly
changed week ago when a strong
company with the best sof financial
backing came into the field with an
offer which embodied all tie demands
that had been made by the people and
assumed such a reasonable attitude in
making q deal for a franchise to
do business that it's offer was
at once taken in good faith
and met with general public
We reprint today the offer
made by the new company. The Nun
icipal Traction company is composed of
Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Den
YER capitalists of the highest standing.
The controlling element is the same as
that which undertook to operate q rail-
.oad in Indianapolis after the existing |
company had long defied every effort |
f the people and the city government
o compel it to reform it's methods or
.bandon the field. The new COM
ANY took hand and as
DON as the old franchise could be
acsted it began to operate q system
Thich has since given complete salts
action. All signs now point to an
arly end of the present disgraceful
tuatiou in Denver. The people are
to get control of the streets
nd it is not likely that another fran
nise will be granted without the most
sreful scrutiny. Our own people {
light take lesson from the exper- {
nee of Denver in this matter. We c
ant to be very careful that we do ,
ot bind ourselves to any corpora |
on.

THE result of the school board fight
is not altogether encouraging. It
leaves the whole thing in a turmoil,
and meanwhile the schools are likely to

The electric light contract award is
plain matter of business. The HER
AID wants no favoritism, but simply
the guarantee of fair field. And the
new company should by all means be
given q chance to compete for the city
lighting on the same terms as are
given to other concerns.

THE Introduction of the bill for
franchise ordinance by the Citizens

IHE Introduction OF the Dill Tor 3
franchise ordinance by the Citizens
committee last night marks an epoch
In the history of this city. For many
years our people have been paying
rates for electric light that everyone
knew to be brilliant, and at the same
time the service has been wholly I'M
satisfactory. The city might have
gone On paying and suffering If it had
not been for the activity of a few pub
lie spirited citizens who determined
to secure q better and cheaper service
for the city and for Individual con-
sumers. These men have pro-
ceeded.on q most business like basis.
and after close figuring they have |
come to the conclusion that they can |
establish plant that will enable |
them to furnish lights to individual
consumers at exactly one third what
they are paying now, and that the
rate to the city can be reduced by one
third. at the same time assuring good
profit on the investment. The
franchise presented by the committee
last night is printed in full on another
page. 1t provides for ell night in I
cand escent lights at dollar q month, {
m tdE;ssht lights at seventy five cents, &
ali night arc lights at eight dollars, {
and moon schedule arc q
lights at six dollars and fifty c
cents. The cost of incandescent lights C
by meter, fifteen cents per thousand Z
watts, Ills less than is charged in any i
other city similarly situated. The v
co mpany will bind itself to make any q
reasonable extensions at any time, in t
the discretion of the city council. 1t
offers .the income tax clause. It Of
fers to furnish instruments and pay the
of testing. and to abide by q
the rulings of the city council with re-
gard to. adjustments. The company
will bind itself to sell all its plant and c
property, including good will, patron d
age, leases, and contracts, to
the city on the first day of next year,
Or at sthe expiration of'any term of
five years thereafter, the rate of COM
pensation: being determined by board .
to be selected by the two parties con- u
itself in the sum of two thousand dol IL
lars to begin work in two months and VI
have the plant in operation within eight Is
of'the date of passage of the is
ordinance. The whole proposition is
30 eminently fair and reasonable that y,
the city council can hardly avoid &
or antinR the franchise asked for. -,

The Indians, says the Chicago Times

OF them as well educated as the upper
class of citizens Of the larger eastern
cities, There are five nations-Choc-
taw. Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek ana
Seminole, About ten per cent OF the
five tribes are full bloods, while the re-
mainder are quarter, sixteenth and thlr-

most all highly educated, as well AS the
girls. Each nation has a school where
these young people are educated and
boarded free. The school is maintained

among them, 1t is very difficult to dis
tinguish the Indian girls of the terri
tory from white girls who live among
them During the last quarter of a CEN
fury the number of white men who
have married girls belonging to the five
civilized tribes have been astonishing.
The advantages of marrying these girls
are many. The man who marries one is
at once adopted into the tribe and is
given large tract of fine land and his
share of the annuity funds, which in
some of the tribes amounts to $50 Der
month. The white adopted citizens
have become a power among the In
dians of the territory, and it is largely
due to them, at least the more honest
ones, that the territory is being opened
TO settlement Not long ago one of
these attractive Indian girls, for Joke,
inserted an ad. in a matrimonial paper
and it was a good paper or else the al.
was very attractive one, because she
received $50 proposals of marriage.
The Indian girls have been trapped bv
fortune hunters so many times that
they are very suspicious of proposals
OF marriage from white men whom
they have not known any length of
time. To protect these girls from tbe
of unprincipled men the in
terror department recently made ru,- |
ing that before a white man could mar
ry into any of the five civilized tribes |
he must present certificate of good |
character from the judge of the county
where he last resided. They want no
more criminals in the Indian race.
