of real estate, to buy cheaper property
outside and enjoy city water. By
comparison, statistics will show that
we have extended our mains farther
and more promptly for a given rev.
enue than is the custom in any other
city. We have thereby enabled the
poor man in the outskirts of town to
enjoy city water in his own home
when he would have otherwise chosen
to rent in preference to hauling or
carrying water. When a renter loses
his position, he seeks another even
if obliged to move elsewhere, but
give him a home of his own and he is
in Occur d'Alene to stay.
Our policy of liberal extensions has
not only helped the poor man, but the
real estate owner as we'll. 1t has en-
allied him to sell his property. It
has enhanced the value of his prop
erty. And if we we're obliged to stop
extending our system, what would
some of the newly plated outlying
additions be worth? In the past, we
have not only reinvested our profits
Of both the water and light businesses
to encourage the growth of the town,
but we have increased our capital
stock from time to time when better
investments could be had on every
hand, investments that would afford
better returns and were proof against
the knocker and the political agitator.
Heretofore we have furnished as
much as 800 gallons daily per capita,
whereas the average consumption in
most cities is less than 100 gallons
per capita, and what is more we have
taken every precaution to furnish the
purest and best supply available. We
ha We also taken pride in giving good
service for fire protection. Statistics
will show that our charges are not
above the average charge in cities
where like conditions exist.
If the present agitators who seek to
gain a few political features thereby,
are successful in decreasing our rev.
enue. we shall be Obliged to retrench
accordingly. GEO. HARDING.

MINING MEN
MIX IN ROW
Brennan Charges Fraud on Part
of Stockholders

Edward P. Brennan, who was ar
rested in Spokane Monday on the
charge of allowing books of the Mas
todon Occur d'Alene Mining COM
pany, of which he is secretary and
treasurer, with main Offices at Sol
Hyde block, Spokane, to leave his
possession, returned to the city last
evening after attending a hearing Of
the case before Judge Hinkle in Spo-
kane.
Regarding the trouble and his ar
rest Mr.. Brennan is very reticent and
stated that he did not wish to say
much concerning it until the matter
had been settled. ''This is a financial
dispute, - said Mr.. Brennan. '.be-
tween the stockholders and directors
of the company. ! do Dot care to
say much on the subject, beyond
making the statement that ". Lloyd
Scott, W. G. Estep, and Detective
Mcdonald deliberately took the books
from me in broad day light in the
Hyde block in Spokane the day was
arrested. We are incorporated under
the laws of Washington. which require
that our principal Office be located in
that state, and the books and records
of the company kept at that Office.
The past year has been a big one for
the company in the way Of develop
ment and much money has been ex-
pended. Scott did not furnish the
money he should, according to con-
tract, and Mr.. Leeper and myself have
been forced to take money out Of our
own pockets to pay off the men and
settle bills incurred by the purchase
of supplies. We approached Scott
and asked that he give US secruity for
the money we had advanced, and he
refused. A dispute arose in my Office
in this city. AS long as matters we're
running smoothly no one objected to
the records and books Of the company
being kept il Occur d'Alsne, but
when the dispute arose, / carried the
books to Spokane and opened my
office in the Hyde block.
ION the day Was arrested. Scott,
Estep and Macdonald came to my
Office in Spokane and asked to see the
records, which they had a perfect
right to do. ! was working at the
desk with my back to the parties an
after they had examined the records,
Estep asked me to step into the pri-
vate Office on the pretense that he
wanted to hold a private conversation
with me. When We stepped into the
room, Scott picked up the records and
seal and placed them under his arm.
| then saw the game they were playing
and Estep told me that since they had
obtained peaceabie possession Of the
books il would be useless for me to
create any trouble. / objected to

appearance the next day. Tuesday
when the case was argued Judge
Hinkls was somewhat confused by the
intricacies of the charge and my at

feel it my duty to make the follow
ing statement: There is absolutely
othinR in the contentious raised by
hese agitators and the statements
babe by Mr.. Varnam regarding our

pes no touch upon the question of
