it was thought that all the men had
perished, but "a hours later the
three men who occupied the pump

selves heard by tapping upon the
six-inch water pipe that stretched
from the pumping station to the sur

means of saving the lives of the
three men. When communication

II Is explained that this cxtraordl.

authorities with the approval of the

lions, because Colonel Stewart, while
avoiding the kind of misconduct which

Now that the Merchants Associa

The merchants objected strenuous

help. Tho finance committee of tho
council, very wisely. called for an In
viatlgation before taking any steps In
the matter TO the surprise of near
~ all the parties concerned, an Eivcs
tigation revealed the fact that the
rates of the local company compared
most favorally with those charged by
the electric corporations of other ci.
ties Upon learning these facts, tho
merchants approached the manage.
inent of the company and proposed a
compromise. Tho company consented
/, TO make the light rates what they were
before the recent change, and to give
u rate of from . to . cents per hlo
watt hour on power. On their part,
che merchants agreed to appear be.

quest that no change whatever be

When the compromise was present
ed to the finance committee the com.
mitteemcn were inclined to believe thar
tn merchants had put them to lot
of trouble for nothing, and that the
association, having secured what it's
members desired, was dropping the
fight without regard for the interests
and wishes of other people. On ac-
count CT this feeling, the committee
ignored the request of The merchants.
and proceeded to recommend the sec
ton OF the ordinance as it had been
drawn by the city attorney. This
section places the license tax on the
company at what 1t WAS last year
