A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

This water and light matter is simply s business proposition. The people are entitled 70 an adequate water supply and and au efficient lighting service at as reasonable rates as are Obtainable- and st a cost and tn accordance with terms that are consistent with the fin ancial ability Of the city.
 The interests and desires of the cor poratfons that have beensupplyinE that service tn the past are entitled to just such consideration as would be bestowed upon those of any taxpayer-neither more nor less. Which means, of course. that only where their intorests are fn common with those of the re- mainder of the town are they deserving of weight. For instance, it is not up Go the municipality, ou the one hand, to facilitate the withdrawal of ths North west Light & Power Company from the city just because 1t has not a profitable business; DOT, on the other hand, is it incumbent upon 1t to pay tribute to the White Pass & Yukon Route.
 The competition which has eaten away the profits of the Northwest Light & Power company is the direct result ot its own avariciousness. Had that company been content with a reasonable rate for is services and had it taken ordinary precautions to provide a suH- cisnt vavsr supply for the city it would have had DO competition. The people are under DO obligations because of it's predicamsnJ
 ID this connection it might be said, also, that iu helping the taxpayers to escape from the clutches Of the North west Light x Power Company the rail road company was escaping from them itself. In assisting the citizens to se- cure 8 lower water and light rate the railroad company did not place the -f-fzers u1ggr obligations to give iJ patronage if they can do better.
 Generally speaking, it will be sd- mi.ced by any reasonable man that it were better for the city to own and control it's own water supply than for is to secure it through other sources, provided it cao do so at 8 cost that is not too burdensome, It is the same principle which makes 1t preferable for 8 business house to own its own building or 8 family iIs own residence. There are times, however, when none of these are practicable. The poiI5 is to secure the best service at the least cos. and on the most practicable terms aud conditions. Whether this can be duue by making 8 contract with the railroad company that will safeguard the city in every respect to better ad- vantage Jhau by eLtai,ing the expense that would be necessary to buy the plants og the Northwest Light & Power Company IS the question for che cornell to consider. Ia the consideration the financial condition of the city and the demands on it's treasury for other pur- poses mus: not be lost sight of,

A Mule Cause OF War In Central A.
merlca.

A Washington dispatch says: A
mule belonging to Senor Irene
Salgado was the chief object OF
dispute between Nicaragua and
Honduras when they began the
quarrel which finally ended in the
war that is threatening the peace
OF all Central America, according
to the official communications
exchanged by the ministers of
the foreign affairs for the two re.
publics, copies of which communi
cations have been received in
Washington. The controversy
began when Augusta C. Coello,
the Honduras minister for for
elgn affairs, wrote q note to Jose
D. Gomez, the Nicaragua minister
for foreign affairs, on January
2oth, protesting against t h e
theft OF a mule from Irene Sal
gado by 35 Nicarguan cavalry
men who were charged with en-
tering Honduran territory. In re-
ply Senior Gomez said the MIC
araguanedid notenter Honduran
territory, although they passed
near the little town of Los Manos
in that republic. The taking of
the mule was not denied but
Senor Gomez insisted in his let
ter that Salgado was not a Hon
DURAN citizen, but q Nicaraguan
who had to leave that country
because OF the part he played in
a revolution two years before.
Consequently Nicaragua main,
tained that Honduras had no
right to fly to the defense of Sal
gado's mule.
This note brought spirited re
ply from Hondurs, the minister
OF foreign affairs Announcing
that Irene Salgad, the Nisara-
guam refugee, was living in Tegu-
cigalpa happily engaged in trade
thete, while a man by the same
name, a most reputable and re-
spected farmer, a Honduran of
unquestionable citizenship, lived |
at Los Manos and owned t he
much mooted mule. Nicaragua
replied that it was true that Col.
Juan |. Rocha, who commanded
! party of cavalrymen, took a
mule near Los Manos, but reiter-
ated that the animal was not ta-
Ken iii Honduras territory. Dis
patches grew longer and as the
controversy waXed warmer, 9th
r questions arose. Then the arbi-
ration tribunal was opened and
inally the break came when Pres
dentSalaya of Nicaragua with
lrew his member of the board 6f
arbitration and war between Nj
aragua and Honduras actually
'egan.

Canada and The United states.
Washington Post.)

4 Washington Post.)
A college professor of Ottawa
has written a book, "Greate
Canada," in which he venture
the prophecy that Canada vii
never be a part of the American
union. That is as fate may deter
mine. Fate has played a heav,
role in his history OF both coun
tries since the middle OF the eigh
teenth century. American indie
pendence was gained at Quebe,
the day James Wolfe met q glo
rious death Oh the plains of A
braham. Washington's triumph
at Yorktown was only the Sc
quence of the antecedent. VOLTS
victory substituted the British
flag for the French in Canada.
Had the French flag remained
there. our forefathers would not
have rebelled, even had thestamr
tax been ten times greater than
it was. The French flag in Cana
=
da made the thirteen colonies the
most loyal of the English Kings
dominions at home or abroad.
When the treaty of peace was
negotiated, England was anx.
ious to ''throw in" Canada; but
Washington would not hear to
it, for well he knew France would
demand that country to reim-
burse her for the outlay she had
made in our behalf in the war of
independence. Canada restored
to France meant the colonies re-
stored to England, for we may
be sure the colonies and France
would have been at loggerheads
within five years, and, to besure,
as blood is thicker than water,
n
England was Joined in the quar-
rel in behalf of the colonies, lick
ed France, and kissed and made
up with the colonies.
But fate had other fish to fry.
England kept Canada, and it is
become the most valuable OF all
the colonies and the most loyal,
as was shown in the Boer war,
when Canada's volunteers d id
such valiant service for the moth
er country. And why should not
Canada be pretty well satisfied?
She has all the protection h e.
British navy can afford, without
money and without price. SHE
has as much of liberty as any
other people on the globe, liber-
ty regulated by law. She was en-
'oying wonderful prosperity and |
has empires OF fertile virgin
ands that invite immigration
rom alien people, including the
United States.
If we had Canada, it would car
~ immetse satisfaction to the ru
ers OF England. 1t would make
American politics intensely Ang-
omaniac. Ii the pear were ripe,
'he would fail in our lap, with
Ill her love for the mother coun-
Jry. In a few years she would be
dozen states with a score of T.
1ited States Senators, with no
;elling how many members of the
House of Representatives. That
would amount the British alli-
lnce.
And if England had America for
IN ally, bound by treaty, s h e
would not have to walk the floor
gain this century.
Fate may yet cut some capers
or Canada, England and the u
lited States.
