LIGHTING COMPANIES
BEGIN FIERCE WAR
San Bernardino Citizens May Bene-

Cutting Prices Regardless-Street

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, June THE
decision of Judge Conrey of Los An
geles confirming the street lighting con-
tract of San Bernardino with the
Lytle Creek Power company, instead of
settling the street lighting question in
this city has stirred up the question
more than ever, and there is war in
sight between the local corporation Of
the Pacific Light and Power company
and the Lytle Creek Power company.
The Pacific company lost the contract,
which it has held for years at exorbi-
tant prices.
The local management of the Pacific
Light and Power company has an
nounced that it will again ask the
city council to call for bids, and IL a
bid of less than $449, the present cost
of lights under the new contract. Is
not submitted the company will pay
all costs OF getting the new bids.
The ground on which the new bids
Will be asked for is that the contract
with the Lytle Creek Power company
fixes no minimum number of lights to
be used by the municipality, and that
when it uses one light II is fulfilling It's
contract With the Lytle Greek Power
company, and that If the company can
secure a lower bid for the balance of
the lights and save the city the differ
ence, whatever it may prove TO be, that
IL should do so.
This city is now the scene of one Of
the feroest wars over electric light and
gas rates that any city In this part Of
the state has seen for years. Because
of its fight with the Home Gas COM
pany the san Bernardino Gas and Elee-
trio company has cut the price of gas
from $1.75 TO IS cents per thousand.
The san Bernardlno Gas and Electric
company has also cut lighting rates.
and is now IN war for the street
lghuns. which il has had for years at a
high figure. The city Is saving on the
new con tract more than 81 per lamp
per month on street lighting.

b!lities in the red man. 1t was the only
chance TO touch on the race problem-to

of Americans who would be received in all

minstrels' in their new play will be seen
to better advantage than they have ever

known as portrayers of quaint negro char
acter given the material their ability to
make it entertaining Is assured. One of the
features OF the entertainment Is the chorus,
which Is declared to be characterized by
both beauty and youth. There Is plenty of
dancing, both in solo. duet. trio and con-
certed numbers. The music was composed
by William Jerome and Jean Schwartz, and
the dances were arranged by Ned Wayburn.

appeal, both as a bit of stage art and as a
vehicle for Mr. Edeson. Strongheart' is
said to photograph scenes of college life
which bubble over with youth and spon-
taneous fun. The first act shows the rooms
of two college students at Columbia, where
preparations are being made for a foot ball
match. Strongheart. an Indian, Is intro
duced as one of the best players of the
team. and it is also shown that he is in
love with the sister of one OF his chums.
The second act is occupied with the game
Strongheart is accused of betraying secrets
to the opposing team, and is not allowed to
play the second half, but Columbia wins.
Ih the third act the tone of the play turns
and the social question as to whether or
not an Indian should marry a white girl is
presented. The fourth act clears the story.
The play, 1t is declared. has great deal of
comedy and dramatic incident. Mr.. Will

Mr. Edeson with a cast including Mary

A STREET SIGN HINT.
How Minor and Multifold Things Can
Be Made Objects of Art.
From The Century Magazine

i"lh the century Magazine.
Minor and multifold things, Ike street
signs can be made objects of art however
simple their character. Care NAV easily
be had to give them proper proportions an
agreeable color compatible with eligibility
and good lettering. In the case of wayside
guide boards there is yet further oppor-
tunity to make them attractive in design.
In Boston, when street signs stand detach-
ed from buildings pleasant decorative
effect Is given by some simple wrought iron
scrollwork III the angle between board and
post.
In many parts of Boston are to be seen
bronze tablets with appropriate inscrip-
tons, marking some historic building or
cemmemorating some notable event Ger
tain patriotic orders like the Sons of the
Revolution, have made the placing of such
tablets one OF their duties. In various New
England communities local historic socie-
ties mark notable sites IN a similar way
perhaps at first with painted legends, to be
replaced. when means permit, by inscrip-
tions more enduring. This service might
well be extended. Street names often bear
intimate relations with local history bat
for lack of record the circumstances of
their designation are likely TO be forgotten.
Here, then, is a rich field of work for local
societies, in placing in each street that
bears a name of historical purport In
scription giving the facts of the case. Lin
coin street, in Boston, for instance, might
now commonly be supposed to be named IN
honor of the great President But a suit
able inscription would recite the fact that
the name was given such a date in
honor of Levi Lincoln, governor of the com
monwealth, etc. On School street the in
scription would be to the effect that the
first public Latin school in America stood
there. In such ways the streets OF town
could be mace a yeritable book for the
public, in which literally they that run
might read. These tablets could be given
attractive shape, as simple or as ornate as
desired, and perhaps fashioned after some
standard design, street signs are. Or,
where a street bears the name of person
of note, the tablet might include a medal
lion portrait in low relief. The thorough
fare itself would thereby more fully serve
the function OF commemorative monu-
ment. inscriptions might at first be af-
fixed In temporary shape, gradually TO be
produced in bronze perhaps certain num-
ber each year. Such a work would add
greatly to the interest of place. Par
ticularly In the Older parts of the country
as In New England, the historic character
OF which attracts tourists from other parts
of the country In increasing numbers every
year, it would be remunerative outlay for
community to undertake the task com
pleteiy as possible.
