ment allowing a new town on the late.

IS as the esteemed" editor OF the New

mercial club and the citizens and bust
ness men Of Las Vegas generally
should follow The Optics lead and
make vigorous protest against the
name while the Nevada town Is yet IN
embryo and no harm could come from
the change. Such duplicating OF
names certainly seems to be entirely
unnecessar and should be avoided as
much as possible not alone for senti-
mental but for business reasons. II

prcfixes and makes one solid word o.
such names as Las Vegas, Las Cruces

GAS C0mPANY'S THREAT
TO REMOVE YOUR METER

Gas was the shame Of Philadel-
phia, the home Of the owners of the
local monopoly.
Whether Spokane is to heartily
ashamed of giving life, sustenance
and shelter to its foreign owned
gas company is matter which the
readers Of this paper must decide
for themselves when these articles
are ended.
Next week The Press will discuss
the organization Of the company.
1t will point out just how much
this entire gas plant has cost and
reasonable estimates on its dupli-
cation. You will perceive that it
is intended to make the people of
this city pay dividends on hundreds
of thousands, yes million of
water. A million that does not even
represent the air in the gas COM
pany's product. 1t simply repre-
sents nothing.
This paper will tell the people
what it costs to manufacture gas as
shown by the great investigation
committees in New York. We will
estimate the additional here. 1t
will show the people that the by
products sell for twice the cost of
the coal consumed in gas-making
and that at the new plant in Union
park where oil will be used, the
cost will be far less, and the by
products more. There will be in
teresting reading for every citizen
of Spokane who loves fair play.
But, above all things, this paper
wishes it understood that these
stories are not in the interest of
any individual or corporation-not
to vent any petty spite or with pri-
vate motive, but to inform the peo-
pie upon subject and a corpora
ton which deals directly or indi-
rectly with the pocketbook of al
most every citizen in Spokane. This
is a fact, any stories set afloat by
the gas company to the contrary

was tried on this same bull-dozing
gas company by a Riverside ave-
nue. business man and the gas COM
pany backed down.
1t took the meter out of the
mans place of business. The man
re-connected the pipes and ordered
in the meter. They put In new
meter and that business mans
bills have been just one-haIf as
large since. That mans name can
be learned at this office. It is al
ready known to the gas monopoly.
Don't be afraid of this institution.
1t exists because you, Mr.. Citizen,
gave it life, and pay into its vitaIs
its golden breath each month.
Fear it not!
Next week this paper will con-
tinue the discussion of this foreign
owned monopoly. Owned, by the
way, in that city whose fair name
for civic purity and uprightness
was dragged in the dust by its in
famous gas company.

LEWISTON,
SPOKANE
ALL [V[N

A record breaking crowd for a local
football game was at Natatorium
park this afternoon. Estimated
1000 people saw Spokane and Lew
iston high school fight for football
honors.
The game was called at 2:2o.
Lewiston won the toss and chose
the east goal and kicked off to the
Spoken 20 yard line. Spokane
gained 9 yards and IL yards. Balm
was injured and Lewiston got the
ball. White of Lewiston made II
yards, Davidson %, Nichols 5, 2
and 10 yards. Nichols went over
the line. First touchdown in five
minutes.
Edmundson kicked goal.
Lewiston kicked off to the Spo-
kane 10 yard line. Spokane took
the ball to the Lewiston 20 yard
line, then Myers, Belt, Peterson,
NoWlin and Mathews carried the
ball for a touchdown for Spokane
one minute before time was called.
The goal was kicked by Spokane.
Score 6 to 6 in the first half.

meter free. And IL you are big
consumer of gas you had better
buy your own meter and be sure
they are honest. Meters can be
sold at 81 a piece and a good profit
made on them.
If there is a dispute as to your
gas bill and you are ready to pay
what the courts determine is just,
the gas company can no more take
out your meter and cut off your
connections than this paper can.
You can enjoin them If they try
to do it. If they do cut your con-
nections, and you are willing to
fight 1t out, have a plumber recon
meet your gas pipes, notify the COM
pany to put in a meter, and if they
try to do anything else than put in
meter, kick that important indi-
vidual out of your house.
That sounds like anarchy, but the
gas company respects that kind of
anarchy and no other.
The very process, outlined above,
