Some Complications

Despite the fact that the men char
acters in "Norah Conough," by Walter
G.. Henderson, are constantly losing
their heads over good-looking women
and getting into trouble by embrace
ing them when they should not, this
tale of the Australian ranch life is dis
tinctly interesting. Mr. Henderson pre-
sents the case of two English brothers
who are earning their titles to sections,
and into whose lives come disturbing
feminine elements. The Australian
local color is dominant There is talk
about kangaroos and wallables; the
rough life of the bush is described, the
scene of a dance at station being dra-
matically set forth There is no lack
of love interest in the story. there be-
ing at least three romances more or
less complicated. Finally things end
approximately we'll for all concerned.

CITY COUNCIL P0STP0NES
CHANGE IN RATE FOR GAS
Edison Company's Report Shows
Profits During Last Year
of $37, ,6se

LONG BEACH, July 6.-When the
city council this morning took up the
matter of fixing the electric lighting
rate, the Edison company submitted
a report citing that the company's re-
ceipts during the past year We're $1OO,
94405 and the expenses $63, ,255.05, leav-
ing a profit of $37,6S9. The company
property is valued at S619 566.11. Coun-
Gilman Dayman asked that the matter
be laid over a week as he was not
ready to vote on the question of re-
ducing the rate by ordinance, and this
was done.
Attorney e. C.Denio, for the company
said that the report of the company
showed a loss of $4,000 over last years
figures and that the profits on operat-
ing were only trifle more than six
per cent, which was not enough tC

his best. "He belonged" says The
Congregationalist, "by heredity and
training to the mellower Puritanism
of the new New England, and he was
qualified by breadth of knowledge and
sympathy to interpret Whitman to his
own countrymen who are readers of
literature. His book is by all odds the
most informing and reasonable inter-
probation of Whitman's life and mes
sage which has been given to the pub
lie, and in it's insight and judicial fair
ness cannot easily be superseded"
The significant thing about the many
tributes to the sympathetic under
standing of Prof. Carpenters book is
that they come equally from disciples
of the poet and from those who have
never admitted his genius. Prof. Car
penter wrote a biography. not an essay
on literary values, and on the excel
lenee of the biography there is no dis
agreement.

A CANYON Voyaue

The narrative of the second Powell
expedition down the Green Colorado
river from Wyoming. and the eXplora-
tions on land, in the years 1871 and 1872,
is elaborately related and beautifully
illustrated in "A Canyon Voyage" by
Frederick S. Dellenbaugh, artist and
assistant topographer of the eXpedi-
tion. Nearly forty years ago this
sortie into the wilds was made, and
this is the first extended and authori-
tative account of its results yet put
into print. While the story is at
times excessively first personal, and
the virtue of simplicity is often exag-
gerated by the author in his method of
detailing the thrilling experiences of
the party, the tale in the main is well
told and SHOULD have am interest for
westerners who desire first hand in
formation of one of the important
tours of exploration of the nineteenth
century.
