due to the necessity Of guarding against

of supply.
Yet many cities operating municipal in
dustries. contrary to this Massachusetts opinion,
and with no little success. There is. for in
stance, the Pasadena City Sewer Farm. located
in the San Gabriel Valley. few miles north OF
Los Angeles. 1t is a ranch of three hundred
acres. From it last year enough English wal
nuts were harvested to net the city treasury
from 81 600 20 5000 to say nothing of the
profit derived from many tons OF alfalfa.
Pasadena did not go into agriculture
business speculation, but public necessity.
Far from the ocean and surrounded by great
hills and towering mountains, and with nothing
more available a waterway in the vicinity
than the wash of the Arroyo Seco. the ques-
ton of disposing of the flow from the city
sewers was certainly a vexing one. When. some
fifteen years ago, it became evident to the
founders of Pasadena that there was growing

Since this city began to talk of muniripaI
electric lighting plant great deal of interest
has been shown in the municipal ownership OF
various sorts worked by other cities of
the United States. Some have doubted the
lecalfty of raising money by taxation for COM
IncrciaI purposes. Others have said that the
city cannot conduct such enterprises with profit
There is no end of examples which can be cited
both for and against the proposition
A city in Massachusetts during the emergency
of the recent coal strike wanted to establish
public fuel yard. The Legislature doubted
whether city or town might. within its consti-
tutional rights buy fuel at wholesale and sell IL
at retail for the benefit of its citizens. The ques-
tion was taken before the supreme Court and
recently opinions were handed down adverse to
the whole policy of municipal ownership. Even
time of emergency said one of the judges, cam
not make constitutional an unconstitutional act
The opinions seem to apply to all sorts OF pubilc
utilities with the possible exception of water
works. The superior rights and powers granted
to the municipalities in the matter OF water are

The pioneers Of Pasadena were of a thrifty

raw ranch land about six miles from the city.

with four coal black horses. My

soldiers obtainable. We were at

army of rebels. My guards were
equipped with the latest make of
English and German guns and fine
swords, but they never had ghost
of chance. Not only did the rebels
slaughter the guards, but cut off
their heads and exhibited them

RUMoRs ABOUT pENNELL.
The Man Who Figured So Much In the Bur

Buffalo, n. Y, April THE Com

is alleged that Arthur r. PenneI,
who was killed in an automobile ac-
cident on March 10, was a defaulter
to the extent of from S150,00O to
100000 to eastern estates. Incl.
dentally, it has been learned that
Pencil made provision for the pay
ment to Mrs. Edwin L. Burdick of
$4,000 out of his life insurance.
1t is said that ''Pennell planned two
years ago to throw himself in front
of train at Peekskill and to make
it appear that his death was an ac-
cident. He stopped off at Peekskll
on the way back from New York
with the intention of committing
suicide in that way, blt his nerve

NEAR THE PRESENT SITE.
Kansas City's New 100000 Union De-

Bottoms.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 6.-The new
100000 passenger depot for Kansas
City will be built on the west-bluffs
near the site of the present Union

will be formally ratified at meeting
to be held in Kansas City week

The present union. depot company
was incorporated November 80. 1875.
The depot was completed in 1877, at
total cost, including the purchase
of the land, of $41o,O2s.s2. In 1880 it
was remodeled at cost of 1924, os3. 81.

lNO LOTTERY PLAN.
Post Office Department Puts Quietus
on Prevailing Practice.
Many Towns In the New Territories Have
Been Doomed by Selling Lots by This
Method Money May Have to
Be Refunded.

( Washington, April 6.-The order
issued by the fraud division of the
post Office department prohibiting
townsite lotteries by preventing the
passage of such advertising matter
through the mails is one of the re-
suits, as alleged, Of the investigation
of Mr.. Bristow, the fourth assistant
postmaster general, and Inspector
Harrison, of Kansas City. The gen.
eral inquiry into matters allowed by
the department caused action to be
taken in this matter and this is to
be followed, as believed, by close
inquiry into the habits and conduct
of the guessing get rich quick
schemes and cooperative enter
prises.
1t is yet a question whether the
money already collected by townsite
companies on lottery plan shall be re-
funded or merely stop on future
lotteries ordered. There is a feeling
in the reaction at the department to
force refunding of the money, and
this would bring the operators up
standing. 1t is believed similar or
uGT Will III uue UlUl0 come against
the guessing get-rich-quick schemes
and possibly this will require refund
ing of all moneys from which the
public had been separated. If so,
this will make action among various
pro bono private grafters over the
country.
Possibly more towns have been
opened in this way in Oklahoma and
Indian territory than in any other
section. AS reported here, nearly
every one of the new towns on the
building lines of railway which were
begun on acre property have been
conducted on the lottery plan.
Among these are Sayre, Thomas,
Sparks, Marshall, Weleetka, Wau-
riIa, Honquenist, Wewoka, Kaw City
and many others. Additions to many
towns in Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory have been opened in this man
ner.

GIFT FROM HOLSTERS
Monuments on Shiloh's Battlefield
Presented to the United States.
There Are in All 22 and They Represent
the States Contribution to the Civil
War in Fighters Lew
Wallace Presided.

Shiloh Battlefield, Tenn, April T.
The state of Indiana Monday pre-
scented to the United States govern
ment the % monuments erected at
a cost of $685. in honor of the %
Indiana regiments that participated
in the battle of Shiloh. Gen. Lew
Wallace presided and in his address
he said the army of the Tennessee
had no commander at Shiloh and was
needlessly surprised by Gen. Albert
Sianey Johnston. The monuments
were presented to the state by Col.
James Wright, of the Indiana COM
mission which has had charge of
their erection. Gov. w. r. Durbin
then presented the monuments to the
government and they were accepted
by William Carey Sanger, assistant
secretary of war. Senator Albert
j. Beveridge, of Indiana, followed in
speech. james w. Riley recited
"Old Glory" Several thousand per-
sons, including many thousand con-
federate veterans, were interested
spectators. With the Indiana party
was Miss Nellie Grant, of San Die
go, Cal, granddaughter of Gen. U.
S. Grant. When the United States
feet of boats passed the Cherry
homestead, which was Gen. Grants
headquarters at Shiloh, the boats
landed to allow Miss Grant to go
ashore for q few minutes.
