A GOOD THING ALL AROUND.

There are schemes and schemes for
the increasing of newspaper circula-
ton. But about the best one that has
come under our observation is the
scholarship enterprise which the Los
Angeles Times conducts each year dur
ing the vacation season. 1t appears
that their contest for scholarships this
year has been even more successful
than in any of the previous seasons.
The Times undoubtedly secures q very
great number of paid-in advance
subscriptions by this means. and it
must therefore be of great direct value
to that paper On the other hand. the
contestants, about fifty of the brightest
girls and boys in southern California,
are afforded an opportunity to earn a
valuable scholarship during the vaca-
zion period, which is immensely more
valuable to them than the small
amount of cash that any of them could
earn by putting forth the same amount
of effort. The fact that it enables
many youngsters in comparatively poor
circumstances to gain an education
that would otherwise be impossible is
an advantage of far-reaching import
ance to girls and boys who, without
this opportunity. might never have been
able to gain an education.
It appears also that the schools of
mendous amount Of general publicity
through these scholarship enterprises
Of the Times. The business colleges
and other worthy schools Of Los Ange-
les have in many instances quadrupled
since the first Times scholarship con-
test was inaugurated five years ago.
These contests result i'm so much gen
eral discussion on the part of the gen
eral public as to the value of an educa-
ton to the young that it has impressed
comparatively well to do parents with
the Importance of an education to their
children and many youngsters have
been sent to special schools when il
might otherwise have been decided that
they had all the education necessary.
1t is a safe conclusion therefore that il
is mutual benefit affair profitable to
the publisher, the contestants and the
schools and a good thing to be pushed
along. This years contest is announc-
ed to close on September 6.

I'VE will have water for our lands"
said the sheriff, 'at a cost of $500 an
acre for a period of ten years and then
the only cost will be the handling of
the water and the maintenance of the
reservoir. 1t was the salvation of many
ranchers in our county. The men who
framed the law by which the reservoirs

The telephone franchise ordinance
passed by the council last night fixes
the highest rates to be charged by
The company buying II. at $50 for
residences and $3.50 for business
houses. This is the franchise the city
expects to sell the East Tennessee
Telephone company.
The East Tennessee company now
gets $3.50 for party lines, $3.50 for
residences and 81 for business
phones. If IT bought he above fran
chise IT would not only have to Gu;
down its present rates half, but
would be unable TO charge over $i.50
and $3.50 for its telephones for the
next twenty wears even. II In the
meantime 1t secured 10000 subscri-
bers. each one of which increases the
cost of operating the exchange. The
probability is that no one will buy
this franchise IL II remains as It now
is, and the city will waste the money
for advertising the sale thirty days
as the law requires.

with this pledge he will make a flying

mo? Well, I'm not surprised. That
is the signature of Tams Bixby, chair
man of the Dawes commission, who is
at Muskogee, I. T. 1t is a source of
wonder and perplexy to those who
have dealings with the commission.
'It is not generally known, but it is
a fact, that Tams Bixby narrowly es-
capped becoming treasurer Of the United
States on the strength of his signature.
letter with Bixby's signature came
to the notice of Senator Hanna. AT
that time President Mckinley was
looking for a man to appoint United
States treasurer. Hanna called the
presidents attention to the signature
and Bixby was asked to go to Wash
ington and interview the president.
"At that time he had large business
interests and failed to visit Washing
ton. The appointment went to anoth-
er man." 49, =
