certain to protect the rights and inter.
ests OF the city.
One clause in the franchise ordinance
which is likely to be widely discussed is
that providing that the gas company
"shall not charge the said city or it's in
habltants any higher rate for such gas
Tor light and fuel than the average or
customary charge in other cities lighted
under substantially similar conditions:
due ana proper account being taken in
all cases OF the number, power and quail
lty Of lamps used and of the relative
care necessary to properly maintain and
operate said plant"
The company does not specifically
state the prices to be charged but il
gwen vide latitude in the definition of
"hat snali constitute an average or Gus
tOmary rate.
Another objection likely to be raised
70 the proposed ordinance in it's present
form Is the life of the franchise-3O years.
There is some feeling that such period
OF time, without money compensation
to the city, is too long
10 remedy this it is likely that a clause
will be inserted giving the city the right
to buy and operate the gas plant after a
certain length OF time-in fact it is hard
ly likely the ordinance will be passed
without municipal ownership clause,
or provision for the payment to the
city OF certain rental charges after the
expiration of stated number of years.
City Attorney Hill will submit his re-
port on the ordinance at the next meet
ing of the council.
The chief design OF the new gas com
pany is to supply fuel gas for heating
and cooking purposes Mr.. Davis is the
head Of large company which manu-
tactures gas rangss and the intention is,
il franchise is secured, to install gas
ranges for cooking purposes in every
house in COlfax, thus doing away alto
gether with wood aud coal stoves.

Taxes Delinquent December

The last half of 1904 taxes will be.
come delinquent next Friday, Dec. / !,
and tax money is being paid into the
county treasurery at lively rate. On
November !, there was about IL Der
cent OF the 1904 tax uncoiIected and by
the time the last half goes delinquent
there will remain less than 10 per cent
OF the money uncolIected, if collections
are as good during the last few days of
November as they have been during the
first part Of the month.
Ii those who paid half OF their tax be-
fore June |, allow the last half to re-
main unpaid after the first OF December,
interest will be charged on the unpaid
half from June 1, which is good reason
for the property owners to pay before
going delinquent

Uncle Sam Looking for a Million
Partners.

1T seems to me Uncle Sam has enough
serious business in managing the affairs OF
the nation without stopping to prattie with
children. they say he has done''
This remark was one that Uncle Sam
happened to hear the other day as he sat
on his woodpiie, whiting away with a big
jack-knife. Without turning his head he
glanced from the corner of one eye to see
that it was self-important looking man
who had spoken. and that his companion
was a big, pompous individual. Each of
them felt, no doubt, that the care of the
nation rested upon his shoulders, and that
he could have run Uncle Sans business
much better than 1t was being run
Uncle Sam heard no more of the converse
ton, but he began to think hard, while the
jack-knife cut little deeper, and the shaw
ings flew faster. Now, Uncle Sam is quite
a philosopher; he often studies out answers
to the most difficult questions while his
hands are busy with something else. When
he Is on his own woodpile saving wood or
whiting he sometimes thinks aloud, espe-
ciaily If he has something important on his
mind.
'Indeedr' he exclaimed, slowly, to him
self 'As If 1t were not part Of my bust
ness to give some attention to the children I,
] wonder what my distinguished friends
would do about the public schools and the
education of eighteen million children? Per-
haps they would think that OF no conse-
quence. The truth is that down deep In
