ELECTRIC CURRENT
FROM THE ASOTIN
City Counuh Accepts a Proposition
From the Shields People For
Current.

One of the various propositions
made to the city by M. j. Shields of
Moscow, for the bringing of electric
current to Pullman was accepted by
the council Thursday evening, and now
the adjustment of single feature of
the plan only stands in the way of a
contract.
The proposition accepted was that
the Shields company should bring the
current to Pullman, where they would
put in sub-station, and in payment for
the current are to accept two thirds of
the gross receipts from the sale of
lights and power. The city retains
the lighting plant, and settlement
with the company will be made from
the books of the city treasurer. This
proposition was accepted in its en-
ttirety, except that the council speci-
fies that when the receipts for the
lights reach $4,000, the company is
to receive but 60 per cent of the gross
monthly income, and Mr.. Shields will
meet with the committee from the
council to-day to adjust this matter.
Under the proposition the council is
to install an electric pump at the water
station, and this feature alone will save
the city from 5000. 90 to 1000. 90 per an
nun over the present cost of pumping.
Street lights are to be furnished at a
rate of about 80 per month.
AT present the city is paying the
college $780, 90 per month for the cur
rent, and as the revenues are only
about $3.50. 90, it being impossible to
furnish lights to all who want them,
1T is not a very profitable business,
either to the city or the college. The
college now needs the current itself
and has been for some time willing to
discontinue the arrangement.
The electricity is generated by the
Decentralization Co. with developed
water power on Asotin creek, and an
auxiliary steam plant at Charleston.
Prof. Carpenter visited the company
plant and inspected its equipment at
the instance of the council and reports
1t first class and thoroughly efficient,
being built on the latest and most
approved plans.
The Shields proposition calls for
twelve year contract, and Mr.. Shields
states that he can have the line built
and the current ready for delivery in
40 days from the time the contract is
closed. Current for day and night
service, for both light and power is
to be supplied.

washington, September 29.-Japan
wants the United States to enact leg
is,ation diseouraging japanese emi-
grafton to the United States, accord
ing to Durham White Stevens, the
diplomatic advisor to the emperor OF
Korea, as reported by Special Agent
Crist, in a communication to the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
Mr.. crist had conference with Mr..
stevens in Toxic and Mr.. Stevens ex-
planned that Japan is anxious to un-
dertake to develop Korea and Man
churia and to settle them with her
surplus population in order to main
tain her dominative influence there.
He added, however, that Japan would
protest against any act on the part
of the United States which would look
like discrimination or that would re-
feet on Japan's dignity.

Mills Change Hands.

The facts are developing IN con-
nettion with certain rumors that
have been floating about for severai
weeks with reference to the big cot
ton mills at Union and Newberry. II
was rumored several weeks ago that
T C. Duncan, president of the Union
and Buffalo mills, at Union, had lost
some 100000 or 100000 by specu-
lation. A prospectus has been in cir
culation during several weeks prov1d'
ing for the issuance Of s3,OOO,00o
worth of bonds on all properties
managed by Mr.. Duncan. At meet
ing of the directors last week, Mr. =
w. Robertson, of Columbia, was put
in charge of the properties and Will
manage in accordance with different
plans. The Newberry mills have lost
some $500, 900 by speculations, but it
is claimed that they are still solvent.

Now, the board desires to be dis
tinctiy understood that while they
have felt they ought to give a cour-
teous consideration to the PROPOSE
ton that has come to them from
Yorkville, their clear judgment is
they would not be justified from any
point of view in accepting any prop
osition for a change Of location that
did not offer the clearest and most
manifest advantages TO the college
that the Presbyterians have entrusted
to their care (See The State, June
7th, 05, p 2.)
The propositions submitted to us
by the several communities, Clinton
included, now being before the pub
lie. the latter can judge for themselves
how far the board have adhered to

SCOTCH DELEGATION.

Washington, September 2S.-There
arrived in Washington a few days
ago a delegation of men from Scot
land who have come to the United
States for the purpose of seeing if the
conditions of the country. especially
the agricultural sections of the South,
are as set forth in advertisements
scattered abroad by bureaus Of vari-
Gus States.
These people are mostly interested
in agriculture and they have been
gathering figures and statistics from
different departments of the govern
ment. 1t is their plan to get good
understanding of the different sec
tons of ti1e United States, not from
bureaus in the States, but from the
departments here where the informa-
ton is given without respect to any
special locality.
a Record representative had an in
teresting talk few days ago with
some of the members of this party,
and asked them if they intended to
visit the Southern States or whether
they would go West. The reply was
that they We're here getting informa-
ton from the government, as stated,
especially from the department of ag-
riculture, with respect TO the differ
ent sections, and that they did not
know what sections they would first
visit. In their researches to find
points best suited to their wants they
have gotten some valuable informa-
ton relative to the different crops OF
the South. especially cotton, corn.
grain. tobacco. etc.
No expression of opinion could be
secured as 20 any particular part OF
the country which they mean to in
Spect and. While saying but little OF
their plans, they seemed to take inter-
est in hearing about the advantages OF
the southern states and the wonderful
progress which they are now making
in many lines.-Columbia Record.

sUMTER's OWN COLLEGE.

The Editor of The Daily Item:
Why cannot we build and equip our
own college?
There are enough people in Sum
ter of moderate means to do this.
Should the entire sum contributed
to this end, or any part of it never be
returned in money, the subscribers and
others would be indirectly benefited
to an extent hardly to be realized at
this time The action Of the trustees
in reference to the incident just
closed need not be discussed at this
time; IN fact, I doubt if the temper
OF our people is such that a discus
sion could be properly entered into.
1t is safe to say, however, that with
the termination of this incident, hav-
ing in mind similar one which ac-
Cured two or three years ago, our
people VIII never again be led on
junheting tours after such uncertain
ventures.
My enthusiasm was never deeply
aroused, for the reason that my dis
appointment, growing out Of the
former incident, made me slow to go
into venture which was being hawk
ed about from place to place
will double my subscription, with
out any conditions or reservations, to
be paid IN cash, for the location of a.
college here. r. 0. Purdy.
I concur in the foregoing and wili
also double my subscription.

Great Loss Of Life.

Manila, September 2s.-The reports
now coming in from places along the
path OF the recent typhoon IN the
Is1and Of I,uzon and the Southern ISL
ands. indicate great loss Of life and
property. In the waters surrounding
samar and other islands, many coast
ing vessels and island transports were
wrecked. The loss on hemp planta-
tions is estimated at one million dol"
lars. Owing to the destruction OF tel
eraph lines the reports from other
noints are very meagre.

concord and unanimity manifested in
this fight has been beautiful and in
spring and if directed where the citi-

need never be any apprehensions OF
failure. Such united action as Sum-

The full realization of the presence
of this spirit is ample reward for all

Sheriff Tracy left the Jail at Montpelier
in an automobile and made a made n

until tender and green, then in clear
water to extract the taste Of the alum
and lastly in cold water to crisp before

liminaries. Cook at once with the sugar
and lemon. Peel and cut the melons in
squares. allowing three-fourths OF a

strip Of green ginger to each pound of
fruit. Put the in the preserving
kettle with water to make a syrup ana
when boiling add the citron, the chopped
yellow peel Of the lemon and ginger.
Make sure that none of the bitter white
membrane OF the lemon gets in; but cut
the lobes Of peeled lemon in thin slices
and add. Cook slowly for several hours
until very tender then add II sprinkling
Of raisins and seal in steriliZed cans. a

while cooking give n fine color to the
