PASADENA, Nov. 5.-For the purpose
of inspecting and appraising the improve
ments and assets of the various water
companies, Mayor Farley this morning
named as committee Councilmen w. I.
Root sr., H. c. Hotaling and Thomas
Webster.
In announcing the selections the mayor
stated that he had endeavored to pick
men who had no interests in the water
companies and was somewhat surprised
when Councilman Hotaling remarked
that he owns one, and one-half shares In
the west side company. Councilman
Root is a stockholder in the North Pasa-
dena company. Councilman Webster Is
not personally interested in either OF the
companies.
The more the talk of voting bonds Tor
the purchase of the improvements IS agi-
tated the stronger grows opposition TO
the plan. There are many people IN Pas-
adena who believe that they have already
paid the water companies for these I'M
provements In their contributions for the
privilege of consuming the water Iur-
nshed. Hence they advance the argu-
ment that if they vote the bonds they
will be paying the second time Tor Wnat
they have already paid for.
In submitting the cost Of improvements
nothing is said by the water companies
regarding depreciation. Those who are
familiar with the water deal say there Is
reason to take into consideration the de-
probation of water plant the same as
any other concern. The price to be paid
for all the plants is $624,000. Figuring de-
probation on the wear and tear OF ma
chinery and the decay Of water pipes al
twenty per cent for five years or less, the
city would be loser to the extent of $124,-
OO0 or even figured at ten per cent $62,-
900 would be added to the cost, or more
than one-third the amount asked Tor the
improvements.
While the water companies, particular
ly the Lake Vineyard, have made notable
improvements in the way of new pipe
lines within the past year, 1t is said the
entire system of water mains throughout
the city will not bear rigid inspection,
as in many places it is known that the
pipes are mere shells and that many
miles will have to be removed and relaid
by the city. This will entail another big
expenditure for which provision will have
to be made if the deal goes through.

Denver, Col, Dec. 12.-The call foi the 1ith annual convention of the American National Live Stock associ ation, to be held in this city January 21 and p, 1908, was issued Tuesday.
 In part the call says: "Our conven. tion at this time carries with it more than passing importance. This coun. try has suddenly had disastrous ex' perience in it's financial centers that has destroyed values and so shattered public confidence as to cause the cur rency to almost disappear. Over speculation, reckless financiering and wasteful extravaganza are among the main causes for this crisis. Stock growers are facing serious losses where but month ago fair profits were promised, and they are now be ing forced to accept greatly reduced prices for their live stock to possibly offset losses and money shortages oi the "frenzied financiers" of some large over-capitalized corporations, that, on short time money, have un dertaken to capture and control every market, avenue of transportation and territory"

TO REDUCE COAL RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission De- cides Live Stock Shippers Have
 No Cause for Complaint.

Washington, Dec. 13.-In an opinion rendered Wednesday by Commission CT Clark, the interstate commerce commission announces it's decision in one report, of Il cases, all Of them of livestock dealers and shippers in Kansas City against the Missouri, Kansas X Texas Railway company and two or three other carriers. The question involved was that of rates on live stock from various points in the West to Kansas City and the facts in each case were substantially the same. The commission hold that q carrier may, because of commercial conditions or competition, establish at a given point an especially low rate, but it does not follow necessarily that all like traffic that moves through that point in the same direction must be given the benefit of that low rate.
 Commissioner Clements rendered the opinion of the commission in the case of the Southwestern Kansas Farmers and Business Mems league against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company and other car riers. The complainant questioned the reasonableness of rates on coal from mines in the Rockvale and Trini- dad districts in Colorado to points in Kansas. The commission decided that the rates were unreasonable and or dered them to be reduced in accord ance with the comDlainant's petitiOn by January 20, 1908.
