DISCUSSED sY Loomlo.
Former Minister Tells of Venezuela's
Troubles.

Chicago, Dec. ia special to the
Chronicle from Springfield, O., says:
Francis B. Loomis, United States
minister to Portugal, has left here TO-
New York city to sail for his post.
Mr.. Loomis was former minister to
Venezuela.
"The foreign built railroad systems
in Venezuela are largely responsible
for the present trouble in that coun.
try" he said, just before his departure.
Indeed, they can be said to be the
primary causes of the matter. An in
ability on the part of the Venezuelan
government to meet it's obligations to
German and English capitalists, who
had invested many millions of dollars,
and the work of the revolutionists, who
had greatly damaged these lines and in
many cases wholly prevented traffic,
added crisis to crisis until the present
trouble came as a, natural climax
bringing war upon that government
"The conditions l have enumerated
have been largely responsible for the
hostile feeling between the nations Of
Europe and Venezuela and a person
who is familiar with South American
affairs can readily appreciate the diff
ferent steps leading up to the pres
ont outbreak

New York, Dec. 19.-Among the pas

on the steamer Maracaibo on Saturday
will be Nicholas Hernandez, the
twenty-two-year-old son of General
Jose Maria Hernandez, eel Mocho."
Young Hernandez is a compositor at
present employed in Danbury, Conn.
He telegraphed a friend that he would
go to Caracas to enlist in his fathers
command.
In addition to the number of per-
sonal offers from United States citi-
zens at the Venezuelan consulate to
enlist in Castro's army the consul gen
eral has received just fOrty-siX letters,

Regarding Rural Routes.

Postmaster Belkin has received d
personal letter from Congressman
Eddy in which the latter says that
the reason that the rural delivery
routes running out CT Morris have
not been established is that tie APP
preparation made for that purpose is
entirely exhausted, and there is nc
prospect for the establishment OF
new routes until after the next ap-
preparation bill is passed. If, when
the appropriation bill is passed, that
portion of it that relates to rural
delivery routes is made Immediately
available" they can be established
at once.
Mr.. Eddy further say that the
routes mentioned have been ex-
amined and recommended and there
is no question but that they will be
as soon as there is money
that can be used for that purpose.

MUNICIPAL OWNERS SHIP.

The proposition is now before
the village council to purchase
the electric light plant in &C
cordance with the provisions
of Mr.. Fow1er's contract, and
SO far as the M; tier of public
ownership of the electric light
plant is concerned, probably
ninety percent of the taxpayers
of Morris would be in favor of
it we're it not modified by other
considerations than the simple
proposition of public owner
ship.
It can easily be demonstrated
that with the amount of SUR
plus power available at the
electric light station, the pre-
sent method of pumping water
is expensive las is also the
present method of heating the
business part of town when so
much available heat is going
to waste at Mr.. Fowler's plant
The expense Of gasoline is
about 81, 800 a year and the
engineer costs another $500,
making a total of $2,4OO which
could be saved. The village
could do it's own public light
ing, which would be an ad-
ditional saving of $1,000 to $500
year. The ques ton of
whether or not lights could be
furnished to private consumers
cheaper does not really concern
the present question, which is
public one. AS a matter of
fact, however, although Mr..
Fowler has made only a fair
profit out of his business, it is
quite possible that the village
can furnish lights somewhat
cheaper than Mr.. Fowler has,
as such has generally been the
case where the municipality
has owned any of the public
utilities.'
The vital part of the whole
question is not the buying of
the electric light plant as it is
the paying for it. The village
cannot pay cash for it, nor can
it be bonded further at least
for a year or two. The village
could at present be bonded for
about $4,000, and with the in
creased valuation in d year or
two, could be bonded sufficient
1y to buy the plant, but for the
present the only way the plant |
could be paid for would be by
issuing village orders to Mr..
Fowler. The consensus of legal
opinion seems to be that there
are no legal difficulties in pay
ing for the plant this way, if
Mr.. Fowler is willing, which
he says he is. The question is
then reduced to simple matter
of business policy, whether the
village wishes to contract
further obligations inst at
present, and whether the plaut
can be purchased at a salts
factory figure. Undoubtedly,
many of the business men wish
to know first of all if they can
get their own Ii ghts cheaper,
but this consideration should
not unduly influence opinion
on what is best for the village
to do, for there are many tax
payers who are not private
users of lights.
The question is not one to be
settled off hand. It should tie
thoroughly looked into and
then if it seems wise that the
village should further obligate
itself, and Mr.. Fowler be will
ing to take his pay in village
orders, the purchase should be
made.

Why LeadvilIe is Dull

The News Dispatch of Leadville ia Of
ferlng So for the best article on why
"Leadville is Dull" The contest is open
for everyone, and each day for several
weeks the notice has been appearing at
the head of the editorial page OF that
paper, urging the people to write an ar
ticle on the subject and send 1t in for
publication.
Perhaps one OF the most pertinent rea-
sons why the city is dull is the fact that
that newspaper carries that very offer
from day to day in it's columns Persons
on the outside who might get hold OF a
copy OF it, say at once to themselves.
"Well, business is dull in Leadville,
while there are hundreds of other towns
in the state that are looking bright, 30 l
think l shall look for business where
there is some"
And they are only right. Men looking
for investment would be foolish indeed
to go into a town, expecting to spend
any money when the newspapers OF that
city make the public statement day after
dhy thot 10 bo ouoihcoo shoAo'
WHAT il the town is dull for few weeks
it is only the natural result Of the sea-
son. People are away on their summer
vacations and everyone is taking rest
who can afford to do so There is per-
iod each year, where there is a scarcity
OF business along every line, but the less
said about it through the papers the
better for the business men and citizens
OF the place.
II the News-Dispatch would get out
an edition, and call attention to the ad
vantages Of the town once in a while,
there is little doubt but that they could
notice the effect in short time.
Don't ever acknowledge to the outside
world that your town is dull, but rather
keep the brightest side out, get people
to come your way and make business.
There is no room in any city for knock
ers and chronic kicke Their places
would be better filled by some real live
m an, who can make the best OF opportu
mites, Nexspapers should publish the
news and not prate about things that
are harmful to the city and to it's bust
ness interests.

THE Courier-Journal of Sunday

says:
Efforts are being made to CONSOLE
date the coal interests of Kentucky,
and it is said that all but a few of
the mine owners and owners of prop
erty containing coal have agreed to
the proposition of the promoters. 1t
is claimed there has been so much
competition IN the coal business in
Kentucky that few of the dealers
have made much more than expen-
ses, and consequently are willing to
enter into combination which will
insure better prices at lower cost
for mining and delivering to the
consumer.
Former Attorney-Ge w.
j. Hendricks is mentioned as
"one of the leaders in the move
ment," and that gentleman has
declined to give the details OF
the plan. Just what properties
may be included in any possible
deal is problematical. There are
many coal properties in Ken
lucky, and Eastern Kentucky is
said to be concerned in this
movement. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the Hopkins, Webster
and Christian county properties
are not concerned in any coal
trust negotiations. This was
authoritatively stated in THE
BEE of last week and in the daily
press.
