America.
Through the dangerous channels Of
the western portion of Magellan strait,
navigating with extreme caution until
Cape Pilares, the westernmost point OF
the southern side of the strait, has
been left well behind and the waters
of the broad Pacific fairly entered, the
American battleship fleet and torpedo
boat destroyer f1otilla now continue
their remarkable cruise. From Punta
Arenas their course lies southwark to
Cape Froward, the southernmost point
on the mainland of South America
From Cape Froward the strait turns
and extends $50 miles in northwest.

been cleared the battleships' prows
will be turned northward and course
laid along the Chilean coast to a point
off Valparaiso and thence to CAllao.
Lieutenant Cones fotilla of torpedo
boat destroyers will part company
with the battleships when Smythe
channel, 80 miles from the western END

They will follow an inside route that
will keep the little vessels well pros

will shorten their voyage to Talca>
huano, their next stopping place,
2,130 knots from Punta Arenas. Fol-
lowing closely along the rocky coast Of
Chile, the battleships in a weeks time
will find themselves off Valparaiso.
Here they will run close into the city
and each will fire the national salute or
21 guns after which they will continue
their way to Callao, Peru.

about the lighting questions and not
loaded up with provisions designed to
defeat the municipal ownership idea.
The cost to the city for furnishing
its street lighting under municipal
ownership has been $75.57 per lamp
per year according to figures compiled
by the Edison company and submitted
to the ways and means committee Of
the council last night.
Il didn't do this for the purpose Of
getting this lighting contract" said
L. E. Myers of the company. 1.-THE
purpose Of this thing is not a selfish
one. We wanted to get at the truth
that was ALL I make the bold asser-
ton that the figures have not been
supplied by me but have been taken
from your own books right In the city

port did not take account of rebuild

'I have figured it out that the city
has saved about $4,000 under NUM-
cfpal ownership said Councilman
Howard. cat first they wanted to
make contract with the city for about
1925 per lamp per year. I have fig
ured out that If we had made such a
contract that we saved $189.000 the
first 16 years and about $4,000 since
then, figuring on an offer of SS5 per
lamp which was made about four or
five years ago. So its been a pretty
good thing after ALL

SHE SERVED A LIFETIME.
Then Left Her Estate to Sons of Her
Employer.

New York, Feb. 8.-Bridget STAN
ton, who died December 20 last, after
spending the greater part of her sew
enty years in the employ of the fam
lily Of the late Rear Admiral Bancroft
Gherardi, left her entire estate, val

two small requests to relatives, to be
divided between the two sons of Adj
mira1 Gherardi, both of whom she
nursed when they were children. The
old nurses will, which was filed for
probate yesterday, recites the love she
had for the two young men whom she

Henry Gary, a veteran of the civil
war, who served for three years in
Company c, Thirtieth Illinois in

served in Company A of the same
regiment at the same time, met for
the first time since they were mus

have lived in this civ more than two
years and less than twenty-five miles
apart in Labette county a quarter

CITY LIGHT QUESTION.
Council Committee Hasn't Yet For
mulated Proposition.

The city should contract for its
light and dispense with the city cleo
trio light plant.
A bond issue of $4,000 is not
enough, it should be $4,000.
That is what the mayor thinks, not
withstanding experts report that the
city plant can be made adequate for
SAC, 900 to 100000. The ordinance as
drawn instructing the mayor to call a
special election to provide for bond
issue of $4,000 for improvements and
betterments to the city electric light
plant should be amended to read $75,-
600, was the belief expressed by May
or VIM. Green. Fifty thousand dol
lars is not enough. II the plant is
to be rebuilt 1t should not be patched
up in any half way fashion. 1t should
be rebuilt on approved plans. The
bond issue should provide for $75,-
600 or as much thereof as is neces-
sary for the purpose" said he. Per
sonally I think the city can do better
by making a contract with the Edison
sort of contract, than to continue to
operate the plant. I am not against
municipal ownership; in fact am for
1t. But under the present plan Of run
ming the city electric light plant it is
not run economically. If commits
sion system were in operation be-
lieve that the city could run an cleo
trio light plant as economically and
probably as any private concern. But
as long as 1t is managed under the
present system by the city council
with every administration coming In
and trying to go the other one one
better on economy, the plant suffers.
Certain methods Of economy which
are practiced as a result bring about
tearing down of the plant and in
troduce real waste. Now there may
be people in the city who would pre-
fer to vote for the bonds in order to
maintain their sentiment for munich
pal ownership but I am not that way.
Though I may have a sentiment on
the subject I don't care to sacrifice 1t
at the expense of dollars and CENTS
The people should be given an op-
portunity to say what they want to
do about the lighting question. Some
time ago an effort was made to take
the whole matter out of the hands
of the people-abandon the plant and
give the Edison company a contract
to light the city, but this high handed
scheme was finally abandoned The
question should be submitted to the
people with complete information
