ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANTS.
Growth of Municipal Ownership in tho
Last Ten Years.

Municipal ownership of electric light
plants is increasing in the United
States, says the Electric Review. Sta
tistcs. so far as they are available,
indicate that the great majority of
these plants have been acquired with
in the last decade.
The complete statistics for single
state -Massa chusetts-as recorded in
the annual reports of its gas and cleo
trio light commissioners show that
compared with Il single municipal
electric light plant on June 80, 1892,
there We're seventeen such plants on
the like date of 1902. At the earlier
of these two dates the investment in
the single municipal electric plant was
$4,000, and on June 30, 1902, the
total investment in the seven
teen municipal plants, three of
which included both gas and electric
equipment, was S1,S2S, 70S. In the
three combined gas and electric plants
the investment was $467,711 on the
date last named. Late in 1902 the city
of Holyoke, Mass, acquired both gas
and electric light plants at cost of
more than $1,000
Chicago. 1888; Little Rock. 1885, To-
peka 1883; st. Joseph. 1889; Allegheny
1890; Wheeling, 1892: Tacoma, 1893;
Galveston. 1884, Detroit, 1895; Taunton,
1897: Columbus, 1898; Grand Rapids.
1899; Springfield, ILL.,, 1900.
This list of cities, with over 10000
population each, that have municipal
electric plants. gives no adequate idea
of the growth in the number of such
plants. because this growth has been
mainly confined to smaller cities and
towns. Massachusetts offers an eX-
ample of this fact, for of the eighteen
municipal electric plants in that state,
only three. those nj Taunton, Chicopee
and Holyoke. are in the cities, the other
fifteen plants being owned by towns
The extent of municipal activity in
electric light plants throughout the en-
tire United States is brought out for
the first time by the recent bulletin of
the United States census Office, ON the
electric light and power industry. Ac-
cording TO this bulletin, of the 3,619
central electric light stations in the
entire country. not counting electric
railway stations that do some lighting,
SO We're operated as municipal plants
ON June 50 1902. The number of
municipal plants was thus 22.5 per cent
of the total. and the investment in
these municipal plants was 800 ,02O,-
4T3. or 43 per cent of the entire in.
veStment for all the lighting system.

known as Manchuria was occupied
by Koreans and was a portion OF their
territory. 1t IL not known how far
north their rule extended, but there
are traces OF Korean architecture as
far as Liao-Yang. which is 100 miles
from tho present Korean boundaries.
At this early period the Manchu ele
ment consisted of a few powerful
tribes, who, though of the same gen
eral Monaghan stock, possessed many
chronological points sufficient to dis
tinguish them from the great Chinese
race which occupied China proper.
The rowing life in a wild country
where young braves thought 1t no ex-
traordinary achievement to kill with
bow and arrow, single handed, the
fierce Northern tiger. developed the
Manchu into a hardy, fearless warrior,
with love for courageous deeds.
The history Of the Manchus is one
of continued and rapid growth. From
small tribe their influence spread
over the great plains of western Man
churia until they became a force
which even great China deemed 1t ad-
visable to conciliate. Their ambitions
knew no limit, and early in the six
teenth century they began an inya-
sion of China A century later, by
methods which at times gave evidence
of the most crafty and sklllful diplo-
macy, and again were those Of most
cruel tyrant, the greatest empire that
the world has known was acquired by
race of half savage nomads.

deserves honored treatment, and the
followers of the standard-there was
scarcely a Manchu who had not seen
service-were specially cared for 1t
was declared by special decree that
all Manchus for time amending should
belong to one of the eight banner
corps and receive a small monthly
stipend. The great home country
should remain the exclusive property
hidden 10 hold land in it. The Ko-
reans had now been driven to the
south. and Manchuria extended vir-
tually to the banks of the Yalu on
the south and to the sea on the east
The Manchu policy, which, In It's
conception. provided for the contin-
unce and development of a great race
of pure Manchus, who would always
be at the beck and call of the Manchu
dynasty and would be safeguard
against the restoration of Chinese rule,
brought on results quite the reverse
of those desired. The Manchu found
his small wage sufficient at first to
provide food. and there was no longer
the necessity to live the arduous life
of a hunter or herdsman In gem
Grafton or two the race had degener-
ated into lazy band of parasites who
in the absence of strenuous life, had
lost all the cunning and the warike
skill which had brought to them a
great empire. They maintained rep
utation for fierceness. however. and
at the time of the late war with Japan
1t was predicted that the japanese
would find match in the Manchu cav
airy. The first engagement between
the two dispelled forever this ilu-
sion.-Century.

There will be special sale OF
La Junta Souvenirs at ]. w. Fish
er's postoffice bookstore emporium
during the month Of July. The
owners and promoters OF this white
elephant have about 500 OF the
Souvenirs still on hand OF the 900

53H cents per copy, and it was

The supply evidently exceeded the

Major G. NJ. Dameron returned
home yesterday morning from St.
Louis, where he has been attepd-
ing the democratic national con-
vention and taking in the Worlds
Fair. The major says that he did
not miss any OF the exciting events
OF the convention from start to
finish, being in attendance night
and day. He seems quite content,
for a free silverite, packing a
cross OF gold and wearing a
crown OF thorns. We thought the
major was man OF some poliIical
discernment. and consequently
were somewhat surprised to hear
him declare with apparent great
confidence that "Parker is sure tc
beat Roosevelt. When his pipe
goes out the major will probably
have another think coming.
