THE OREGON AND THE KENTUCKY.

/ Comparisons between the run Of the Kentucky
and the run of the Oregon are hardly allowable says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune Apart from the
mere question of speed the splendid run of the more
modern battleship the Kentucky, is not to be CON-
pared in song or story with the wonderful voyage of
the Oregon. There was seamanship displayed by the
officers and men Of the Kentucky and the Triumph
OF the American shipbulder was magnifcently dis
played. But the run of the Kentucky was made in
time OF profund peace, far as the government Of
the United States is concerned-the seas were open
to her. and the route she took taken at her own
good pleasure.
There was no need for constant lookout for hos
tile ships squadrons of the enemy, as there was
when the Oregon started on her voyage through
hostile seas and with the ships of the enemy on the
constant lookout for the capture Of the vessel If
the enemy had been sighted there would, beyond any
question, have been fight even though it had been
the Oregon singlehanded against squadron Of the
Spanish feet 1t was in avoiding the enemy, as
well as in the splendid record Of speed made that
the triumph is with the Oregon and will remain with
her.
Her voyage was made in constant doubt and in
constant peril of the enemy-her seamanshp re-
moved the doubts and escaped the enemy, the splen
did and the trimumphant battle ship steaming into
harbor on the Florida coast to join the fleet of the
United States in the attack on Santiago-and she
dropped anchor as ready for battle as any of her
sister ships anxiously awaiting her coming. HerI
voyage was distinct and unapproachable triumph
OF the seamanshp and the pluck and the DARING of
the American sailor, as the Oregon herself was a
triumph of the American shipbuilder 1t was a.
voyage challenging the admiration of the world, in
cluding the Spaniard himself
The Kentucky did well-but until she does as
well as the Oregon in the matter Of speed in like
circumstances the glory will be to the gallant ship

is predicted that the list of visitors will
be much larger next year.

Grapevine the Newest Camp.

The latest strike to cause a rush
from Tonopah was made at Bullfrog,
as it is now called, in Amargosa val
ley, little east of south of the Grape
vine range, about seventy miles to the
southeast of Goldfield. The dis
coyery was made by George Cross and
Shorty Harris, with whom are inter
ested Milton Detch and w. ID. Frey of
Goldheld. There is said to be a big
ledge outcropping on the surface and
having a lime footwall and porph-
pry hanging wall. The rich ore is
said to average ten inches in width
showing silver bromides and free gold
assaying from $3.50 TO $1,000 per ton.
J. McQuillian bought opt Harris at
once and a stampede from Goldfield
set in. Many claims were staked and
a TOWNSHIP was also staked by DIR. l..
E. Benson of Tonopah. The porp-
hyritic formation of the new district,
which has been named Bullfrog, is
said to resemble Goldfield and wood

for period of thirty years, the mayor
and council should not sacrifice the
rights of the inhabitants of this city,
for that length of time, for the pur-
pose of getting such immediate reduc-
ton.
"A franchise for any public utility,
has become valuable thing, and 1t is
unfortunate that a proper value is not
oftener placed upon it, the same as
would be the case If it were the pro-
perty of an individual. A corporation
selling its business, places certain
value upon its franchise. There is no
reason why this value, no matter what
the amount, should not be of equal
worth to the city.
1T appears to me it would be unwise
to pass an ordinance at this time,
granting to any company a franchise
for 80 years, to supply gas at a greater
rate than one dollar, rate which pre-
walls in many cities with no greater ad-
vantages than are now possessed by
the city of Topeka.
If the plant of the present company
is equipped with out of date machinery
and appliances, whereby they are I'M
able to manufacture gas at a cost as
low as they would be able to, if the
plant was equipped with modern and
up TO date appliances, the people should
not be compelled to bear the burden of
their lack of progression in not pro-
Viding themselves with all modern
equipment for manufacturing gas, by
the most economical methods possible.
mo franchise should be granted
which does not provide among other
things:
1.-THE right of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil to have access to the books and
accounts of the company at all times.
1.-The filing of the plans, specifications
and estimates of the proposed inn
provements, when, where, and how to
be made.
1.-The candle power of gas to be fur
nished.
1.-The examination and testing of
meters by some city officer.
1T is my sincere desire, gentlemen,
to act in harmony with you at all
times for I realize it is only by har-
monious action that the interests of
the public can best be protected.
'In differing from the majority in
this instance it is solely from a sense
