All these and other aspects when
careful inquiry has developed have
led to this inquiry:
Are Washington Gas interests
now engaged in great develop
ment of cheap gas for Maryland,
perhaps including Baltimore in the
project, while overlooking entirely
the possibility of bringing the cheap
gas to Washington?
Here is what the Western Mary
land proposes to do, according to its
counsel, Wilton Lambert, who is
also one of the counsel for the
Washington Gas Company:
To pipe natural gas from Weston,
w. Va, through the counties of
Washington, AIlegany, and Garrett,
Nd, a distance of $50 miles TO Ha-
gerstown.
To sell that gas at Hagerstown at
25 cents per 1000 feet.
When the Western Maryland gets
it's pipes and its 25-cent gas at
HagerstOwn, it viii be seventy miles
from Washington, and seventy miles
from baltimore.
Extension for that distance would
place it in touch with the immense
demand of either of these great
cities,
What is it going to do. if it gets
permission to carry its mains to
Hagerstown. and thus command
either Washington or Baltimore, or
both?
The best answer that can be given
with present information is that the
Washington gas interests show no
fear of an invasion by the cheaper
gas, while the baltimore Consoli-
dated Gas Company is fearful that
viii later be invaded.
Maryland Legislature Investigates.
The corporations committee of the
Maryland senate is investigating the ap-
pIication of the Western Maryland con-
Germ for a franchise to sell gas IN that
State The hearings have already dis
closed that an enormous profit is re-
ceived by gas companies.

reached out his hand for the note
the stranger quickly drew knife
from his overcoat pocket and
slashed him across the arm.
Kills WOuld-be Slayer.
Shippy grabbed the man as he
started 10 run, and the scufie
brought out Harry Shippy and
Foley. The would-be assassin drew
a revolver and shot twice, both
shots hitting young Shippy in the
chest. Foley then rushed in, and,
graphing with the fellow, was shot
in the hand. just as the stranger
started to run shippy reached for
his gun and shot five times, each
bullet taking effect. The body was
removed 10 a morgue, where It re-
mains unidentified.
Young Shippy and Foley were
taken TO the Augustine Hospital.
Foley's wounds were quickly
dressed. but DR.. Ochfuer, one Of the
most celebrated surgeons in the
city, who was called to operate on
young Shippy, declares the Iatter's
chances for life are very slim. The
chiefs wounds were dressed at his
home.
Revenge Of Black Hand.

Mayor Busse was notified OF the shoot |
ing at the residence of Chief Shippv.
and Immediately left his office. ana
went to the Shippy home, aecomuanfed /
BY his body guard, Sergt, Michael Los
tus. It IS believed at the. city hail that /
the attack is the result OF the recent |
anarchistie agitation in this cftv.
The police OF the entire city were i'm
mediately put TO work 10 discover the
source Of the plot and round up further
conspirators, for it IS regarded al. GER
tain that the lives OF the entire shiDpv

THE COCA COLA BOTTlING
 WORKS.

The growth and prosperity of every community depends almost entirely upon the character of the business in terests. which form it's commercial fabric. and in this respect Phoenix has been most fortunate in having been made the distributing point of the Coca Cola Bottling Works. This high ly progressive business was establish ed in the city three years ago and from it's beginning has grown in pub lie favor. extending its operations not only over the city. but throughout the Territory tributary to Phoenix. They manufacture carbonated beverages of all kinds. such as high grade sodas, ginger ale, and all kinds of mineral water, including the bOttling of Coca Cola of which they hold the exclusive license from the manufacturers of what today is the most popular drink in America. This business was found ed three years ago for the purpose of bottling and distributing this famous drink and the firm seeing the OppOr- tunity of adding a full line of carbon ated beverages. did so with the result
 
 as far east as Roosevelt and north to Parker and Prescott. Last year they added a new feature to their business that bids fair to revol6tionize the sale of vinegar throughout the Territory and began the distribution of pure Ohio apple cider vinegar. which shows a test of 50 grains. being five grains more than the recent pure food laws require. Since then they have been unable at any time to supply the de- mands made upon them for this super for product
 This firm is composed of F. J. Hal terman and Geo. w. Baker. who are both natives of West Virginia, but have been in this section for ten years and are both the proud possessors of good ranches in addition to being at the head of the Coca Cola BOttling Works.
