manager for the road. will take some
time for consideration before making

NO REASON.

To the Editor of The Sentinel:
Merely because some flaws can be
picked in the original contract by
which the Electric Light company
was granted it's charter to furnish
Grand Junction with light. is no
reason why the whole system of light
ing by contract is of no account. Had
the company been properly bound to
furnish good lights there would have
been no trouble today. Had there
been clause inserted that the COM
panv's books should be open to inspec-
tion and that percentage of the pro-
fits should be paid into the city treas
ury, there would be no howl about
1.-THE hydra headed monster" which
is Sucking the life blood of the peo
ple''
Instead of that we are in the throes
of the perennial scramble for office.
and are bound to be made Shining
example, of by being the latest vic
tins of that Utopian folly, municipal
ownership.
We are asked to look a. the British
tramways and light plants, which are
so carefully controlled in the interests
of the public What are the facts :?
The British tramways are paying into
the trea ,ury less than 5000. 900 in the
form of taxes, or but 2 per cent on the
gross receipts of $25, 900, 900, while
the steel railways of New York and
uaarlu 80
500 900 or Al per cent. on gross re-
ceipts of $50, 900, 600.
Here is an intere sting light upon
the virtues and vice of rigid munci-
pal control of corporate enterprises.
If forty years ago British munici
palities had said to private capital.
Come in and help US make our cities
what they ought to be-" the British
tramways would today be earning
5000, 600, 600 gross instead of less than
one eighth of that sum, and could be
paying as taxes from IS, 900. 600 to
$40. 900. 900 into the public treasury
instead of a paltry 5000. 900.
This is not an exaggeratlon. Mr..
Editor. this is fact. Record Fact.

ate rather than an overestlmate as
it is we'll understood by all who have

Whitewater SENSATION

Social circles at Whitewater have
been greatly shocked at the seduction
of young girl residing in that vicin-
ity by the name of Downing, the
daughter of we'll known family
there.
The young man responsible for the
downfall of the young girl was Claude
S. White. the son of another promi-
nent Whitewater family. The boy
had enlisted in the service-of Uncle
Sam. The warrant was sworn out by
the parents of the girl and rhe officers
of the U. 5. Government vessel Perry
were communicated with and the
boys arrest would have only been
question time. but he received infor-
nation that there was warrant sworn
out for him and he deserted two weeks
ago. His friends in this city knew
of his whereabouts and an agreement
was entered into by the father of
the young girl Downing and the young
man White. that the warrant should
be withdrawn if White would marry
the girl.
When the time came for the cere-
mony and the friends of young White
went to the Downing home. the father
showed under the nose of the young
man an agreement that he would pay
twenty five dollars for the support of
the girl whom he had seduced, but
at this White baked and would not
sign any agreement. In the mean
time the warrant had been passed back
to the officers ON the agreement that
young White should marry the girl.
this being all the parents of the girl
had asked. Downing, when the
young man. White, refused to marry
his daughter asked the district attor-
ney's office to issue new warrant.
but this was refused upon the premise
that Mr.. Downing had made an agree
ment that if the officers of the law
would bring young White back to
marry his daughter that he. Downing
would be satisfied.
When the refusal was made by
young White he Immediately boarded
train and left for San Francis SEQ to
report back as deserter and to re-
enter the service of the navy depart
ment of the government
The matter has stirred up consider
able feeling at Whitewater and is a
matter of general gossip. both the
families of the young people being
old and prominent residents there.

The Alliance council has run up
against the United States courts and
been enjoined from enforcing an ord
nance passed to regulate the price OF
gas and electric lights The
action was brought by the Alliance
Gas & Electric Co. and the contention
made was that the price fixed was be-
low the cost Of production and could
not be enforced. The case was taken
TO the United States courts at Cleve-
land and the restraining order al
lowed.
There is no denial of the fact that
the council had right to fix a price
by ordinance, but the courts held thai
it could not be SO low as to force the
company to furnish It's products tc
consumers for less than cost. For some
time past the company had beer
charging more than the ordinance call
ed for and there was a rebellion upor
the part of the people. The council
took up the matter and attempted tt
l'force compliance with the rates fixed

A SPLENDID OPENING
Former Brick Manufa acturer,
Potter Miller, Considers the
Offer of Rudolph Flick
Profitable Opportunity

vostm ent
vo stm e Mt.

The offer of Rudolph Flick to sell
his valuable shale, coal and limestone
deposits adjoining Canton at cost price
and take one half the price in stock
in a $4,000 brick plant has excited
considerable favorable comment among
those who desire to go into the brick
business
At the present time there is not
enough brick manufactured to supply
the demand The profits of the brsi-
ness are very large. The Flick farm
was bought ten years ago for this pur-
pose and is considered the best for
brick or cement purposes in this Sec
ton of the country. The Diamond
works of Middlebranch, at one time
came near locating on this tract. 1t
adjoins the Frease farm which in turn
is next to the Canton Pottery Co. s
works near Waco.
In speaking of the proposition, Peter
Miller, who sold out to the Metropol-
itan company and who has success
fully manufactured brick for fourteen
years read the announcement in yes
terdays News-Democrat and said
Il think that is a good thing, with
the right people back Of the company
it cannot fail to make money. l know
the Flick farm and there is no better
land for brick purposes around here
Brick can be made there successfully
without a doubt. No question about
it. There is everything on this farm
necessary for the best of plants. With
the right people l will invest in it my
self. The price Of the land for brick
purposes is cheap. 1t certainly is"
Mr.. Miller is considered one of the
most conservative men in the city and
whose judgment is most excellent. Mr.
Flick has made novel offer but 1t is
the offer Of business man who has
the courage of his convictions.

Heavy arue.

The stockholders Of the Pittsburg
& Ohio Oil Co. which put down the
we'll at Howenstine. south of Canton
have decided that they have pro-
ducer. In order to increase the flow
the well will again be shot in order
to open up the rock.
1t has been decided to use 100 quarts
of nitroglycerine as the first shot had
but little effect upon the rock. This
amount is epected to open I'D the rock
and increase the flow considerably.
Wednesday the bailer was used to
raise the oil and barrel was dipped
out in two hours, indicating that af-
ter the next shot 1t will pay to pump.
The plan of the company is to sink a
number of wells and even II the flow is
light they can all be pumped with
the one engine at little expense. Ellis
Lewis. w. w. Marshall and Ed. A.
Langenbach are principal stockholders
in the company.
