Ak GRINDING IVIIiI''''I vs.. BUSINESS.

Municipal Ownership IN Practice Seen
Through the Eyes Of Grand Forks
Citizen.
In an article on the gas situation IN
Grand Forks, N. D., Light quotes +.
]. Janey, a prominent real estate man
of that city, as follows;
GAS a real estate man and member
OF the real estate board | did not vote
at the recent meeting Of the board for
the issue Of the $2000,000 bonds for
the purpose Of buying the gas plant,
and stated at that time to the board
that was opposed to the ownership
by the city Of the gas plant.
81 think that we have one too many
of our city utilities already managed
and operated by a committee of the
city council. Our experience with the
water business as it is managed by
our council committee is not one which
would make it desirable for us to place
any other utility in the hands of an
other such committee. The difference
between management by the council
committee and management by a pri-
vate corporation is simply this:
"The council committee are grinding
their axes and making use of it for
their political interests, whereas a pri-
vate corporation has dollars invested
and looks at it only in the way of a
business enterprise, which it is willing
to push in any way where it can see an
increase of income. One Is using it for
influence and the other to earn dol
lars.
eff you want water main put in
and apply to the city for it, you are
lucky if you get it inside of three or
four years. If you want a gas main
put in and apply to the gas company
for it, the company will have the main
in in time to deliver you gas when
your house is finished.
81 should very much like to have an
option on the city water plant at the
cost of reproducing the same as it is
today, and if had it l could within
four months place it with reliable par
ties who would agree to sell water at
a less rate than we are now paying
and who would not ask semioccasional-
ly that the city tax itself in order to
enlarge the plant, build reservoirs and
filtration plants. They would simply
look at these matters as to whether
they would pay for putting in, and If
they found it would increase their in
come they would raise the money
themselves for the Improvements"

POLITICS RESPONSIBLE.
Ever Present Reason For the Failure Of
Most M. o. ENTERPRISES,


The Duluth Evening Herald recently
printed an interview with G. r. Cos
ley, representative of an electrical
supply house. whose business gives
him an insight into the workings of
municipal lighting plants. Mr.. Cos
Icy thus diagnoses the trouble:
zone thing more than any other is
responsible for the failure Of most mu-
nicipal ventures Of any kind. and par-
ticularly so in the case of electric light
Ing plants. That is too much politics
Too much politics results in misman-
agement, mismanagement results in
failure, and failure spells a big loss for
the taxpayers
i've seen plants in prosperous towns
In condition such as no private com
pany would think Of keeping them
and no public company should either.
They have gone to wreck and ruin,
the machinery is out of order and the
town is without light most OF the
time just because every new mayor
appoints different superintendent
and every alderman and oficeholder
who has political parasite he wants
to reward gives him a job at the mu-
nicipal plant They do not do their
work properly, and the plant goes to
'uin."

For Years.

Ohio Has Been Robbed by Its Officials
For Years.
The state bureau of accounting is
| giving us something new to think
| about 1t relates to extravaganza in
office and specifies the purchase Of sup
plies, particularly stationery, as the
| direction which this extravaganza has
taken. Our news columns have been
giving full particulars, showing that
the people have been robbed of thou
sands of dollars by this excessive and
needless expenditure of the public
funds. 1t has been discovered that
conspiracies have been formed by coun-
ty officers for ''rakeoffs" from needless
purchases. And the evidence is so
plain that the officers have hustled to
return the money. This occurred in
Adams county, but we are informed
by the bureau that this form of graft
covers the state.
1t is an alarming condition-to see
how many public officers steal from
those who have trusted them. We say
STEAL" for that is what it is, and it is
hoped that the prosecuting attorneys
will not permit it to pass for anything
else. A man who will make a $500
purchase and rake off 500 from the
price paid is as sure a thief as any man
behind the bars in the penitentiary.
We must throw away our soft gloves
and handle things as they are or this
country will go to the dogs. 1t is not
simply the loss of the money, but the
spirit In which the extravaganza is
committed is as fatal as treason. 1t
runs down through the arteries Of our
public and private life like strychnine
through the blood.
1t should be the doctrine of our pub
lie service that extravaganza and need
less expenditure is crime-that off,
cial life is corrupt to the extent that
1t expends the public money beyond
what is necessary to properly perform
the public duty. That is the ideal that
we need in the public service, and it is
hoped the bureau of public accounting
will keep on until that ideal becomes
regnant in the official life.-Ohio State

"ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL"

Along w.th dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be
cause disordered stomach does not per-
NIT the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system:
On the other hand the blood Is charged
with poisons which come from. this dis
ordered digestion, and in turn the nerves
are not fed on good, red blood. and we see
symptoms of nervousness, sleeplessness
and general breakdown. 1t Is not head
work that does it, but poor stomach work.
With poor, thin blood the body is not
protected against tho attack OF germs OF
grip, bronchitis and consumption. Fortify
the body at once with DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery--a rare combination
of native medicinal roots without par
ticle of alcohol or dangerous. drugs.
No man is stronger than his stomach.
Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Phys
ical strength is derived from food. II
q man has insufficient food. he loses
strength. II he has no food he dies.
Food is converted into nutrition through
the stomach and bowels. 1t depends on
the strength of the stomach to what
extent food eaten is digested and assimil-
ated. People can die of starvation who
have abundant food to eat, when the
stomach and its associate organs OF di-
gestion and nutrition do not perform
their duty. Thus the stomach is really
the vital organ of the body. II the
stomach is weak the body will be weak

THE TERRIBLE SWEDE"
IBATHES TWICE
is IMMERSED IN RIVER AT
DIFFERENT POINTS YES
TERDAY MORNING.

A we'll known character in Astoria,
"The Terrible Swede', created some
excitement on the waterfront yester-
day forenoon The poor unfortunate,
whose mind appears to be wreck,
started the excitement by jumping
off the wharf near the Parker House
but was rescued by members Of the
Columbine who soon had him back
on the dock He then wandered
down to Lindenberger's Cold Storage
plant where he cndeavored to start
fsctic alteration with A. G. Carlson
the engineer of the plant, but that
gentleman noting the mans condi-
tion refused to enter into a set-to
with him. Nelson then mounted the
rail near the office and losing his
balance fell into the cold waters Of
the bay, for the second time receiv-
ing ducking. The water being deep
at this point Carlson threw him life
buoy and he foundered around until
he reached shallow water where he
rcgained his feet and had lively
fist fight with an imaginary foe. For
half an hour he remained in the
water deaf to the orders Of Officer
Debau to come ashore or to the APP

peal Of the bystanders. Finally a
man on shore waded out and brought
the "Swcdc" ashore and he was soon
transferred to the city prison where
he is now resting.
1t was not case Of drunkenness,
but plainly an alteration Of the mind
by which he is known to be afflicted.
Some action should be taken in this
poor fellows case as he is certainly
not responsible and, while harmless
in his failing yet is not fit character
to be at large to suffer the jibes and
jokes Of those who can only see fun
in his eccentric actions.

re state of California docked at

The State Of California docked at
sthe o. R. & N, piers here yesterday
morning just before 5 o'clock, with
3lS people on board, and took on
three more from this port before she
went to sea at 1880 o'clock On the
way down from Portland on Friday
night and at 1910 o'clock, the State
barely missed collision with an i'm
known schooner-rigged barge just
off Jim Grow Point, the little vessel
escaping annihilation by a meagre
foot or two, Captain Nopander said
that for sometime he and the pilot
had seen white light ahead, but
there being so many of them in the
river and the weather being thick,
they did not for an instant size it up
as craft of any sort, until suddenly
the schooner swung out to port and
displayed her green light directly
under the bows Of the liner. There
was nothing left to do but throw his
helm over and back with all the
power he and he did this instantly,
almost grazing the stranger and ram
ming his own ships stern in the
soft mud, on the last of the ebb; but
he was willing to do almost anything
rather than sacrifice life on board
the smaller craft. 1t is as certain Jas
anything can be that the vessel he
met had her running lights concealed
by sails or deckload, for had they
been properly in view they must have
been seen from the bridge of the
State. The o. R. & n. steamer Has
salo came down at 4 o'clock and
passed line to the ship aground,
but only succeeded in parting the
line, and then continued her journey
to Astoria Two and half hours
later, on the half food the State

A telegram was received at the
office of the Calender Navigation
Company yesterday morning from
Marshfeld, announcing the death Of
E. Heckendorf, a ship carpenter who
was under contract with the com
pany for the construction of a new
steamer hull to be used in this port.
Mr. Heckendorfer was stricken with
diptheria on the 10Th Of September
and succumbed quickly to the ravage
of the malady. His step-son, Nels
Nelson, who was working on the
same contract, is also down with the
disease and critically i'll with it and
strictly quarantined, at his home at
Prosper on the Coquille, where the
work is going on, so that the Callen-
der people are strictly up against it
so far as this especial contract is
concerned, but it will be passed on
to capable hands as soon as may be
and completed. The new craft is TO be
built upon the exact lines of the old
bay steamer Calender, which many
people win remember. She is being
built entirely Of Port Orford cedar.
