ignorant in this important matter.
The Introductory paper is concerned
with preliminary preparations, the
care Of tue dining-room,. the. silver
linen and china, the lighting Of the
table and other requisites of correct
serving. The subjects are treated in
q simple, enlightening manner, and
the Illustrations add to the effective

Elevator Company Organized.

At the second meeting of the farm
ers, held in the Masonic hall SatuT-
day afternoon, no time was wasted in
preliminaries but they proceeded to
organize at once. The committee
that had been appointed to solicit
subscriptions for shares reported that
they had total of S4675 on their
list and could get about $500 more.
By unanimous consent it was voted to
organize stock company with cap
italization of $4,000 with the pro-
vision that business might commence
when $4,000 had been paid in. The
constitution and bylaws which had
been copied off those of the Farmers
Elevators at Claflin and Ellinwood
were adopted with very few changes.
The following gentlemen elected as a
board of directors: P. H. Cory, Will

Joe Degen, James Hall, Henry Bitner,
jr., d. J. Lewis, John Boyer, S. s..

Godfrey Gibler. Deceased.

Godfrey Wilkin Gibler was born
near Hillsboro, Highland county,
Ohio, July IL, 1882, and died at his
home in Clafin, Kansas, November
80, 1903, of cirrhosis of the liver, at
the age of II years, 4 months and II
days. He was the fifth of a family
of five sons and four daughters, five
of whom survive him.
He was married to Hattie Gaddis
March %, 1862, near Atlanta, Hi
nois. She died November 20, 1873.
Unto them was born three sons, Ed
gar, Howard and Clinton. Howard
died January 5, 1879.
On March 10, 1887, Mr. Gibler
married Mrs. A. A. Smith, who sur,
wives him.
He early in life united with the
Christian church and remaiped in
that belief and lived a true Christian
life until death called him to the bet
ter land.
He came to Kansas in 1887 and
settled near where Claflin now stands
and underwent the many hardships
incident to the settling up of new
country.
The funeral service was held al
the Christian church Tuesday, the
sermon being preached by Elder Cam
eron, after which the remains were
followed to their last earthly resting
place in Pleasant View cemetery, by
the many friends of the family.
The community's sympathy goes
out to the bereaved family in this
hour of sorrow.-Clafiin Clarion.

. - Great Bend, the Place :

LII tue CAdlulidliOll Ol tic COll e
spondence had with the different Kan
sas cities on the matter of rates, rules,
cost, ETC., we find that a majority OF
the cities of this state own. their own
water plants and are practically
uniform in their endorsement of mum
icipal ownership. Among these cities
are the following having about the
same number of inhabitants: Scam
mon, Emporia, Olathe, Eureka, Wa
mego, Clay Center, Cofeyville, lola,
Junction City, Osawatomie, Colum-
bus, Wellington, Garnett, Hiawatha,
Concordia, Lyons, Garden City, Man
haitian, Neodesha, Rosedale, Sterling,
Girard and Cherryvale.
The present annual hydrant rental
of the city is S2,850.00, and its in
crease to cover the barest necessities
of the growing demands of the city
will largely increase the present hy-
drant rental.
SO the question for the citizens to
consider is to get adequate fire pro-
lection for the least possible amount
of expenditure. 1t seems that the
city is paying for hydrant rental at
the present time all that it can afford
to pay and still has not adequate fire
protection.
The franchise of the Great Bend
Water Supply Co. will run out March
9th, 1909, and as the city is paying as
much hydrant rental as it can afford,
the matter of full fire protection is
serious one and matter that ought
to be fully considered, and the ques-
ton then of public ownership of the
water plant becomes of public inter
est. The interest undoubtedly would
be much less on an Indebtedness suf-
1cient to own plant than the present
hydrant rental, therefore the matter
of public ownership is worthy of a
careful investigation on the part of
our citizens and especially as it would
give cheaper rates to the private con-
sumner, mains could be extended and
hydrants added with very little adj
ditional expense.
The Great Bend Water Supply Co.
has about 800 private consumers and
dS tlCdI dS we Cdu lCdl IL iIlCOlflC IL Oili
that source is about 100000 a year
and this in addition to the hydrant
rental of S2S5000, is the gross IN
come of the Great Bend Water Sup
ply Co.
According to the facts developed,
as herein set forth, and the recon-
mendation of all the cities owning
their plants, we believe that if the
plant can be acquired at its real val
ue, public ownership is matter of
municipal economy, and that in the
matter of acquiring the plant ought to
be investigated by proper authorities,
to learn if the plant can be acquired,
price and terms. And we further
recommend that this report and the
correspondence had relative to this
matter be brought before the public
through our local papers.
Very respectfully submitted,
w. T.KENDALL,
Committee B. S. DALE,
H. F. DEAN.
