TO CONTROL FLOW
OF WISCONSIN RIVER
Mill Mems Plans For Giant
Rasarvnire

Reservoirs.
Senator II. G. Wipperman has intro
duced bill in the Wisconsin
legislature which il it passes as
introduced, will give the milling
interests on the Wisconsin river full
power to control the flow of water in
the Wisconsin river. Naturally the
great scope of this bill has brought
out great deal of opposition. Like
all measures it has it's good qualities
and its poor ones. Whether it will
pass, is a question. The Milwaukee
Free Press in its issue of Wednesday,
the 22nd has the following article in
reference to said bill
Improve and make staple the
WaterpOwer of the Wisconsin river
and within score of years there will
be population of 100000 people in
that valley" said John Barnes, a
director Of the Rhinelander Paper
Company in his argument before the
joint assembly and senate committee
on state affairs, in favor of the
Wipperman bill granting to r. B.
Tweedy, w. L. Edmonds and Frank
Garrison the right to build reservoirs
to control the flow of waters in the
Wisconsin river.
The bill gives the grantees a
practical monopoly of the Wisconsin
river and all its tributaries.
Gives Large Rights.
1t gives them the right to erect and
maintain dams, SluiceWays, locks and
other structures at any point on the
Wisconsin river or it's tributaries for
the purpose Of improving the naviga-
tion Of the river and regulating the
flow Of water therein, with the right
to sell or lease any waterpowers
incidentally created.
1t gives them the right, after they
have constructed or acquired and
maintained reservoirs sufficient in
capacity to store up the water power
and to charge and collect tolls, of their
own fixing, from the owners Or lesseeS
Of each and every improved and
operated water power on the Wiscon-
sid river or it's tributaries below such
reservoir, whether such power is
benefited thereby or not, with lien
for such tolls upon such water power
and improvements. The only review
is by an engineers board whose
decision is final.
Greatest Water Power in the United States
"We have the greatest water power
in the United StateS," continued Mr..
Barnes. 'There is power enough in
the flow of the Wisconsin river to
turn Thousand mill wheels. Not
One-tenth OF this number has ever
been operated. 1t is true that some
damage will Oe done to the farmers
OF Oneida and Villas counties by the
proposed resource system, but the
bill makes its obligatory for the COM
pany TO compensate for all damage
that is done. We have no pnilan-
thrOpic motives in introducing this
measure. We, as mill men, expect to
receive great benefits from having a
steady flow of water
Here, | want to answer one Of the
arguments made by the opponents of
the measure. 1t has been said that
these reservoirs, which we wish to
eStab bliSh will benefit alone the paper
mill men at Grand Rapids. IL is
impossible to benefit The paper mill
men at Grand Rapids without benefit
ing every man or company along the
river who owns or controls water
power"

on the debit balance and sum for the sink
ing fund.- leaving net credit balance on
the revenue account of 1851. The working
profit of the water-works was $149, 1893; de-
Quoting 1852 city fund annuity; $57 ,449,
interest on loans, and $8,622 for the sinking
fund leaves the net profits $71, 1852. The rev.
enue account of the electric lighting shows a
working profit of $88, ,696, from which there
are to be deductions for interest on loans,
sinking fund, and meter installments, leaving
the net profit 81 976. The working profit on
account Of the street cars for the year was
$185,238 from which $48, ,329 is to be de-
Quoted for interest on loans and $45, 700 for
the sinking fund, and $37, 400 to be trans
ferred to the reserve fund, making the credit
balance for this year $57 800.
''In each instance then, with the eXcep-
tion Of the crematory and the baths, the mu-
ncipaization of public utilities in Hull has
resulted in profit to the city treasury. The
profit it is true, is small, but it must be
remembered that the charges for these public
services are extremely low. ride on the
street cars in any direction to the end of the
line costs only two cents an exclusive tele-
phone in private houses costs less than $50
a year, and in business office about $50
year Gas is sold at 48 cents per thousand
feet and electricity at cents per unit The
object is not so much to make profit for the
city out of these utilities as to furnish the
public with the best service at the lowest
price Viewed in this light, municipalization
in Hull can be pronounced a success"
The following is Mr.. Mahlin's report:
IAN important public improvement this
year in Leicester is the installation Of an
electric street car system In place OF the
horse-drawn cars The old system extended
miles: the new lines, when completed, viii
cover forty-tw miles The greater part IS
now equipped with overhead trolleys and IS
open to the public. It is municipal under
taking The largest tramway junction IN
the United Kingdom is at the clock tower,
whence five sets of double track radlate. The
fare from this point to any other on the
line is penny q cents(, which pays for a
Journey, in some cases of nearly three miles
The total cost Of the system will be about
$3,25O,OOO For the first half Of 1904 the net
profits of the municipal gas works were
$4,000; of the electric light works, $l2,5OO,
and of the water-works, $44, 900. All this
surplus goes to reduce the taxes or to benefit
the public in other ways"
The Seattle Republican., 1905-06-30
CITY OWNERSHIP

The consular reports are giving some In
teresting information in regard to municipal
ownership in Europe. Below will be found
extracts from the report OF Consul Walter
c. Hamm, Of Hull, England, and Consul
Frank w Mahin at Nottingham, England.
The municipalization Of what known as
natural monopolies is going in England,
and where the experiment is tried it is nearly
always found to result in great benefit to the
commounity and to the employees. For IN
stance, Mr. Hamm says that the construction
Of the municipal telephone system at Hull
has brought about speedy reduction IN
rates The municipal telephone has reduced
the rates in Hull to about So month, and
street car fare to cents Gas in being sold
at less than so cents thousand feet, and
electricity is furnished at cents per unit.
At Leicester the city has taken over the
street car lines or taamWays as they are
called and is going to operate about forty
two miles The fare is CENTS and some
times the distance travelled is nearly three
miles The gas and electric plants are also
in the hands of the public in Leicester, and
will run at profit Mr.. Hamm says;
''The construction of a municipal tele
phone system in Hull has brought about
a speedy reduction in rates. AT a recent
melting of the corporation telephone com
mittee it was announced that the charge Tor
unlimited service over an exclusive line
would be 95 ($2433) per annum to private
houses and Sc 6s ($30.65) to business prem
ises This reduction has been followed by
large increase in the number OF subscribers.
The National Telephone Company has been
compelled to reduce it's rates for unlimited
service to private houses from $40 ($48.66)
to half that amount. To what extent this
reduction will effect the company in other
towns and cities is matter OF interest. 1t
is stated that in the agreements which the
National Telephone Company has with prac-
tically all the large towns and cities In Eng
land, and by which the corporations OF those
towns granted the company underground
way leases, it was made a condition that IN
case it reduced it's unlimited service rate IN
any place below $780, similar reductions
must be made, if demanded, in all other
towns Ii this is the case, then other cities
may now demand the same telephone rate
that is made in Hull Thus the competition
in this city may prove beneficial to every city
in England.
GA recent report of the comptroller OF
accounts of the Hull corporation throws
some LIGHT on the position of other corpora
ton enterprises and the success attending
their municipalization. On account OF the
crematory $53O44 was expended for main
tenance and $3O658 was received in the year
ended April 1, so that there was an excess
of expenditure of 81 ,11053. In the gas de-
partment the profit in the year was $15,38O,
from which there is to be deducted interest

POLITICAL POT=PIE

j. Will Lysons, who for number of cam
paigns has been secretary Of the Republican
State Central Committee has been selected
as temporary secretary Of the railroad COM
mission. For the past two sessions of the
Legislature, Mr.. Lysons has been the secre-
tary of the senate, and in that capacity has
given splendid satisfaction. The selection
of Mr.. Lysons gives another appointment
to the northwest, which practically turns
over the politics Of the state to that section
While there is no objection to Mr.. Iysons,
personally, yet this centering of all of the
state appointments in the 'northwest' is
not doing the party very much good, and at
the next turn Of the wheel even the Repub-
licans in convention assembled will see to
it that the northwest" gets nothing, and
it will be treating her right.
That was a great story published IN the
Times one day this week to the effect that
"the members of the city council had turned
a poor family out in the rain, and it was
published for no other reason than for po-
turned out in the rain, the family knew that
it was living on city property and the city
had duly notified it to move out, but in de-
fance to the order it remained IN the house
and permitted it's effects to be set out IN the
rain If the city authorities had done their
whole duty they would have not only set
the effects Of the family out in the streets,
but they would have had the head OF the
family arrested for trespassing Men who
bid for such cheap newspaper notorlety
are too mean and despicable to be called
people.
Dalyrymple, the Ssotchman, who was in
vited to Chicago to give an opinion as to
whether that city could effectively put IN
operation municipal ownership, has returned
to his home after giving a most favorable
opinion that she could do so and added, the
newspapers have misquoted and garbled my
statements from start to finish" T" The pie
maker remembers that the P.-I had an edl-
torial in it declaring that Dalrymple had
practically admitted that municipal owner
ship in the United States was not feasible,
no part Of which, according to Dalrymple
was true Whether feasible or not,
municipal ownership will be voted by
most of the larger cities Of this country be-
fore another decade rolls round and before
two decades become history government
ownership of public utilities will likewise
be voted. Seattle is certain to vote for munl-
cipal ownership at it's next city election and
the party candidate that does not want to
be beaten so badly that he will not know
that he was in the race, had better not
oppose the proposition.
Just because some stinker got robbed in
the red light district it was no excuse for

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Cigar Box Containing Gun Cotton Sent
to Police Captain.


New York, Aug. 90. - Gun cotton
enough to kill man, arranged In an In
fernal machine and disguised as gift
cigar box. was received by Precinct
Police Captain Miles O'Reilly. This is
the third deadly explosive instrument
of similar construction sent through
New York mails in the last four days,
the other two being received last Fri
day by Jacob II. Schiff. the banker,
and NJ. Guggenheim's Sons.
Captain OReilly received cigar
box by mail which in weight and every
other detail misled him into taking 1t
for a genuine present. Unusually
heavy and tenacious nails fastening
down the cover caused the first sus-
picions When the box had been care
fully opened at the ends, the cover
was found to have matches glued to
its inner surface in such manner that
they would be ignited on emory paper
in an effort necessary to raise the lid
The police quickly secured proofs
that the flare of merely one out of the
half dozen matches would have been
the death OF Captain O'Reilly.
A detective carried tiny portion
Of the gun cotton and powder, which
nearly filled the box, into the cellar,
and there touched a match to it. The
resulting explosion was heard on the
upper floors of the police station.
