The manufacture of milk powder has
now reached stage where the process
is considered q success In a business
way, and the trouble is to find a satis-
factory market for the product. The
greatest field seems to be in the sale Of
the powder made from separated milk
from large creameries. The skimmilk
can be bought at price which brings
the milk powder to very low cost.
For wholesale purposes it can be pack
ed in bags like -four at very little cost
for handling and light cost for trans
portation as compared with the liquid
milk. Large quantities are expected to
be used by the biscuit and cracker man
ufacturers; also by the bakers and con-
fectloners in the manufacture Of milk
bread, cakes and pies and such prod
ucts. AS it will keep for any length Of
time, it should find market on ship
board and for other uses where a sup
ply Of fresh milk cannot be had. 1t Is
believed that large business can be
built up without interfering to any
great extent with the market for fresh
milk,

Reapina the WhirIwind.

Wheeling, W. Va, has gone more
deeply into municipal ownership than
almost any other city in the United
States. Some of its undertakings are
In desperate need of reconstruction,
but apparently nobody wants to lend
it the necessary money, and no depre-
citation fund has been provided. The
situation is thus described in the Mu-
nlclpal Journal and Engineer:
"As a result Of inability to sell mu-
nicipal improvement bonds, which
have been authorized by citizens in a
popular election, Wheeling finds itself
in a very serious predicament. There
were bids for but little over $4,000
worth of the issues of 1896, 600, and 1t
is likely that a new ordinance will
have to be framed for resubmission to
the people, entailing additional ex-
pense and necessarily retarding the
work on the improvements. Bids had
been advertised for, and but three were
received. Two were from citizens who
were willing to take a small amount
at par. The third was from Kansas
City corporation, made with the pro
viso that all the contemplated work be
awarded the company at reasonable
price"

Many City Employees.
The real danger of municipal owner
ship is the danger of corruption. Men
In all industries must frequently agl-
tate for increase Of pay. 1t is natural
You cannot blame them for doing so.
But II men are constantly agitatlng
for increase of pay 1t follows that
their employers must constantly have
thrown upon them the disagreeable
task Of refusing. Who in the council
win refuse those demands? The con-
scientIous man will be foremost in re-
sisting unreasonable demands, and the
inevitable result Of his conduct will be
that he will be remembered at the next
election. The result will be that you
will get lowering in the tone of the
body elected to the council, and you
will have a lowering in the tone of the
electors.
The men look for an increase of pay
as a demand for justice. Everybody
considers himself insufficiently paid.
FLaughter.l They will come to regard
their vote more and more as a private
property and not as public duty to
be exercised In the interests of the
whole Of the state. And the more and
more they cease to consider their vote
In a public duty the more and more
they will go down the hill on the
path that leads In the end to direct and
open corruption. - From Address De-
llvered by Major Leonard Darwin Be-

Municipal ownership of the water
plant in this city has proved more ex-
pensive each year and has reached a
point where radical steps must be taken
by the city authorities. Since the failure
of the gas wells owned by the city
fuel bills have become an important
item and the cost of operating the
plant has largely increased.
Using water at fiat rate, consum-
ers have become careless, with the re-
suit that thousands Of gallons of wa
ter are wasted each month. The waste
has become 30 wanton that several
times this summer the city would have
been in great danger had serious fire
broken out The waste has also in
creased the operating expenses, more
than three times as much water being
pumped at the plant as Is necessary

Socialism Begins With "Publie Utilities"

beer; brewing is a public utility" the
city has invested $2,OO0,00O In a mu-
Rieipal brewery and another tidy sum
In a municipal beer palace so that
the thirsty citizens may get his jag
without being dependent upon private
enterprise. Why not? Everybody in
Vienna dies-ultimately. Another pub

army of city officials, and the leading
undertaking establishments are bought
out at a cost Of $5O0,OOO. Again, why
not? Although everybody in Vienna

much better be In the city treasury
