GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC cHIckAMAUoA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced Gratfyinsly
Successful-Six and One-Half Miles
of Mains-Sixty-Fiye Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
IN operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1868, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use. while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant SO evident that the
government. March 20. 1904. placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant. in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance OF acetylene to
this military post Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed number of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
ernment institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, Ia manufactured

is absolutely safe and gives a beau
tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
1t is matter for national congratu-
lation that in beautifying SO historic
spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best, including the lighting sys-
TEN. has been deemed good enough
for the American people.

Remarkable Artesian We'll,

The twelve-inch well the Sonora
(Mexico) railway has bored at Pesqui-
era station has encountered a strong
artesian flow which is remarkable. At
depth of 160 feet the water gushed
to the height of eight feet above the
surface. Sinking was continued to a
depth of $50 feet. and the flow in
creased to height of thirty-five feet.
The new well will supply water for
all purposes needed by the railway.
And 1t demonstrates the feasibility OF
securing artesian water for irrigation.
In the vicinity of Pesquiera are many
thousand acres of very rich land which
needs only water to make 1t very pro-
ductive tand valuable.-Nogales Oasis.

Act.
Denver, May 27.-With the convic-
tion of Joseph Johnson at Trinidad. on
the charge of killing John Fox there
are now five men in the state OF Co!o-
RADIO awaiting execution under the cap
ital punishment act. These are Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews, con-
demned to die in the week beginning
June 11th; Patrick Bremen, convicted
of killing his sweetheart at Leadville,
to hang the week beginning July 21st;
Charles o. Peters, to hang the week
beginning November 18th, and Joseph
johnson. date not yet set.
All of these men are under thirty
years of age, except Johnson. War
den Cleghorn has already executed
eight men for the state. and il he re-
mains in office and there is no inter
ference with the cases. he will have
hanged thirteen by the end of the pres
ent year There is the possibility, of
course, that there may be Others added
to the list in the meantime.
In discussing the capital punishment
act recently, Secretary c. e. HaSar OF
the State Board of Pardons expressed
the opinion that there was bill be-
fore the last Legislature which, If 1t
| had become law, would have done
more to lessen crime than did the law
of 1903. He referred to the habitual
| criminal act Under this act it is pro-
| posed that when man is committed
to the penitentiary of a state for the
third time, he is to be declared an in
ourable and incarcerated for the re-
mainder of his life.
The theory of this law is that if a
man has demonstrated that imprison-
ment does not cure him of criminal ten
| dencies, then there is nothing left for
society to do but protect itself by put
ting him out of the way. Humanity
rebels at executing him, and, therefore,
| he must be left in prison. that he may
no longer prey upon society or repro
duce his kind Many criminologists
\ declare that executions and imprison-
ment do not have deterrent effect,
thus. the fear of life imprisonment
might not actually lessen the proper
tion of crime, but with the habitual
criminals gradually becoming incarcer-
ated there would be a perceptible de-
crease in the number of crimes com.
mitted.
Mr.. Hagar says that study of the
records at the prisons is very interest
ing, showing that majority of those
who commit crime are extremely lg'
norant and unlettered.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playa

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared. after eight months investga-
tion. it was severely criticised ar
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no.
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox. of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list of
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
