THE MILK IN THE C0COANUT.

THE Snoquamie Falls Power Company Is fight
Ing to the death the Union Electric Company
OF Seattle, which is a branch of the General
Electric Company. OF New York
The Union Electric Company, backed by the
General Electric Company, and working under
the guise Of the Washington Power Company,
is attempting to destroy the Snoqualmie Falls
Power Company, so as to prevent its entrance
TO this city as a competitor
AT the present time the Union Electric
company has nearly all OF the local power BUSH
ness tied up in contracts running from one TO
five years. the most notable exception being in
the case of the Centennial Mills, the proprietors
OF which have given the Snoqualmie Company
a contract for electric power and pending its
delivery are making the necessary operating
power on the mill premises, at the expense OF
the Snoqualmie people.
The game OF freeze-out being thus oleverly
worked by the Union Electric Company, is de-
signed to make the fight for patronage in Seattle
an uphill one for the Bakers when they finally
get their Snoqualmie plant in working order.
The latter evidently realize this fact and know
that their best counter stroke will be to prevent
the Union Electric from getting foothold on
Cedar River under the guiSe OF the Washington
generate electricity at much smaller expense
by the use OF water falls instead OF steam.
II the Snoquolmie Company can accomplish
this result il will then be in position 70 under
sell its rival by furnishing power from running
water at cheaper rates than the Union Electric
can afford TO continue to furnish power made
by steam. With this great advantage the Sno-
alamie Company calculates to be able to
t.Fai 3ttt If ffai4 I'd
probably buy up lis plant and contracts. Then
the Snoqualmie people-the Bakers-wlll have
a monopoly
But supposing the Washington Power
Company. the Union Electric or the General
Electric. which is one and the same under three
different titles. should be given the privilege by
the city to establish itself on Cedar RiAer 1t
will then be in a position to say to its rival:
We've got you now just where we want you.
Unless. you sell to us the Snoqualmie plant and
get out OF the country we will 60 to Cedar
River build plant and run you out. We have
the Seattle business now and you will not be
able 10 cut under our rates for power. The
expectation is that the Bakers would see the
ACCESSIBILITY OF selling and then the General
Electric alias the Union Electric, alias the Wash
ington Power Company. would purchase the
Snoduamie Plant. make no further move
towards placing plant on Cedar River and
would have the wshed-for monopoly OF power
on Puget Sound. Cedar River would be undis-
ttnbed by the turbine wheels that grind out
electricity and the polluted water scare would
be memory of the past
All of these facts have an important bearing
upon the investigations which the special COM
mittee of council will institute this evening.

Michael Bussi, twenty-five years old.

bly, Suicide.

While walking along the towpath of the
Norris Canal yesterday afternoon, Joseph
residing on Culver avenue, dis
covered the body of a man in the water.
The police were at once notified, and
they fshed the body out. The man is
five feet eight inches tall, and weighs
about $50 pounds. He has dark hair and
a sandy mustache and is about forty-ive
years old. He wore a white shirt, black
trouhers n laced shoes, all much the
worse for wear. In the pockets We're
found a book, in which was written the
name S. Reideli, No. p Evan street,
Brooklyn. A pawn ticket for a gold watch
on which SIS had been loaned, and a
laundry check were also found.
The body was removed to the morgue
in the Ocean avenue police station patrol
A few hours after the discovery of the
body, a black Fedora hat and a brown

by three boys. The articles were found on
the canal banks near Culver avenue. No
