First Homestead Entry,

Sioux CITY, Ia, Aug. IA -Mahlon
Gore of Orlando, Fla, who is visiting
in Sioux City, where he lived twenty
five years ago, claims to be the first
m IN who homesteaded a piece of land
in the United States. 1t has been
claimed that the home of Hon j..
Sterling Morton in Nebraska was the
first, but the Nebraska land Office
would have had to have been open at
midnight of the beginning of the day
the homestead law went into effect
January 1, 1863. to have given that ap-
plication priority over Mr.. Cores
Mr.. Gore lived in Dakota and was
editor of the Vermillion Republican.
BY accident he and the receiver and
register OF the land office were loafinq
together until midnight and because
he was going bird hunting New Years
day he concluded to wait till midnight
and apply for the homestead he haC
contemplated, instead of waiting un
| til the next morning.

Municipal
Ownership
Many of the cities Of Iowa have
adopted the idea of municipal
ownership of the public utili-
ties, believing that the people
who pay for the use of the mate
rials should be the owners of the
same. In every city in the state
where the city is the owner of the
water plant, electric light plant
and hot water heating plant, the
rates the people have to pay are
at least one-third to one-half less !
than they have to pay in cities
where the utilities are owned by q
franchise company. Here in Mis-
souri, Valley it has been demon
strated by the water plant that
city ownership is saving to the
people. The rates on city water
are growing less each year, while
the plant is being extended in
every direction. The same state
o. affairs would be found if the
city owned the electric light and
hot water heating plants. The
city now pays about $4,000 per
year for lighting the street. Ii
the city owned the electric light
plant the lighting of the streets
would be done without cost to the
city, as the revenue derived from
the lights that were furnished the
citizens would more than pay the
running expenses of the plant, and
would make sinking fund to pay
J, off the bonds that would have to
be issued to buy the plant. The
same is true of the hot water heat
ling plant. If the city owned the
4 plant the citizens could be furn-
ished at about half the rate that q
franchise company charges for the
same. The city can sell four per
cant bonds for money sufficient to
pay for the two plants, and in q
J; few years the bonds would be paid
off and the city would be the own
er of a waterworks system, electric
light system and hot water heat
ing system.
In the interest of economy to
the city we believe it would be a
; good thing for the city to purch-
, ase both the electric light and the
hot water heating plants. Some
r may say that the present owners
! will ask too high a price for the
plants. The owners of the plante
J. haze nothing to sag as to ec1nt they
n ,eW sell the plants for, as the fran.
chise granted them settles that
point.
Think it over and see If the city
: wouldn't be better off by owning
all public utilities.
