PRICE INCREASE NOT ANNOUNCED
CONSOLIDATED OFFICIALS TOOK No AC-
TION AT THEIR MEETING. IT IS
SAID. REGARDING GAS RATES

Contrary to the general expectation no an
nouncement was made yesterday from any quarter
Of an intention TO increase the price gas in this
borough 1t had been supposed that the Execusve
Committee of the Board OF Trustees Of the Con-
solidated Gas Company, whose weekly meeting was
held yesterday, might take some action on the
question of raising the price from the present fig
ure, 90 cents thousand cubic feet. II was said
after its meeting that it had not even discussed
the subject. 1t is understood, however that the
rate will be advanced probably TO ST. within a
short time. The Board of Directors OF the New
Amsterdam Gas Company has issued circular 10
the stockholders OF the company reciting the fact
that arrangements have been made by which the
preferred and common stock may be exchanged at
90 and 26, respectively, for debentures Of the Con-
soidated Gas Company, and advising the stock
holders TO accept these terms, saying that the de-
sohdated stock at l0, and giving notice that
stockholders desiring exchange their securities
on the terms given must deposit their certificates
with Ine National CITY Bank before June 10 The
circular closes by saying: The directors OF this
company and its largest stockholders will deposit
their certificates for exchange on the terms above
curities before the date mentioned may be deprived
of the right OF conversion
A director OF the Standard Gas Light Company
was quoted Yesterday as saying Of the prospect OF
that corporation being taken over by the Consoi-
dated Gas Company: "A proposition made BY
Consolidated Gas interests ago for the
preferred. 40 and 160 AT these prices Mr. Sage
sold. but the rest OF us determined stay bv the
property Inc oner has never been withdrawn
Recently there nave been negotia tiOns which may
lead some more satisfactory offer by the Con-
soHdated people. but so far there has been def
mite proposition.
Consolidated Gas stock gained two points yes

closed unchanged from Monday.

The exclusion Of colored delegates from the NIL
waukee Biennial of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs is attracting d good deal of atten-
ton among club women of New-York. Some SYM
pathize with the point of view taken in passing
the resolution 10 exclude them, but some regard
the step opposed the true spirit of progress
that should characterize wonens clubs.
Mrs. H s. Bell ex-president of the Health
Protective Association and a delegate from it TO
the National convention, expressed herself yester-
day as extremely sorry that the question had been
brought up.
Il can see." she said, -'just how the Southern
woman feels about it. A delegate from a sister club
must be received social equality at all,
and the traditions of a lifetime against that.
On the other hand, II these women well edu-
Gated and refined, many of them il

Clubs, which stands for progress I have given
thought to the subject. but on general principles
feel that there is always something to be said
on both sides. In point OF fact cannot much
room for discussion, for II colored club has been
admitted to the federation its delegates be
accepted If II is not member il has no right
10 be represented. The question is that should
have been settled elsewhere and earlier

THE RESERVOIRS.
Some Interesting Information A
bout the Big Lakes North OF
Lamar.

"All that Lumber;n said engin-
eer Thomas Berry of the Great
Plains Storage company in re-
sponse to a question of The
Sparks man, lis for use in the
construction of rating fumes in
the Pawnee. Comanche and Am
ity canals OF our system, and to
build series of three drops in the
Comanche canal, which is the
outlet OF the Nee No She reser-
voir. The water Is brought down
from the reservoir to the canal
level, a fall of fiftyone feet, by
series of three drops, each II feet
high. The water falls on cush-
ion formed by big timber cham
ber from one level to the next un
til it reaches the canal proper.
One hundred aud seventy thous-
and feet OF lumber will be used IN
these improvements"
Replying to question regard
the amount OF water that had
been stored In the big lakes this
year, Mr.. Berry stated that tn e
run had been very satisfactory.
From January to July the enor
nous total of 109,522 acre feet of
water was safely emptled into the
reservoirs from the Arkansas nv
er the supply canal, notwithstand
ing two annoving breaks during
The flood water season. AS the
total available capacity OF the res
ervolrsis 10000 acre feet of wa
ter, it is evident that nearly this
entire amount can be stored In a
single season for the irrigation OF
oyer 100000 acres OF new land
the following year. There is no
longer any doubt about the prac-
ticablllty of this immense storage
system. which will add 100000
acres to the cultivated area of
Prowers county and give us the
greatest irrigated area of any
county IN the state.-Sparks.
