Just where the red army OF inva-
sion viii be located is not as yet fully
known, there being no such things as

tion.
General Pew's line OF defense is
nearly seventeen miles long and.
speaking roughly. extends across
Plymouth and Briston counties from
Taunton to Plymouth.

landing force can successfully make
~ rear attack against the city. when
it IS guarded only by the State militia
and the regulars ordinarily attached

DISCUSS THE GAS QUESTION
REPRESENTATIVE GOOD AND !.
G. wELLIvER SPEAK.
Appear Before Subcommittee on Pub
lie Utilities Of the Chamber
Of Commerce.

Representative James w. Good of Iowa
and j. C. Welliver spoke on the "gas
question" before the Chamber Of Com
merce subcommittee on public utilities
last evening. Representative Good con-
tended that the price Of gas should be de-
termined by conditions existing in the
city affected, and not by conditions in a
town hundreds Of miles away. He gave
data concerning the Mcmillan syndicate
Of gas works in Michigan, saying the cost
per thousand feet of gas sold was AZ
retailed at dollar a thousand feet. He
gave as his opinion that the cost Of
manufacture in Washington is not, COM
paratively. high.
One point the representatives of the
public interests should insist upon" Mr.
Good stated. lis that there can be no de-
probation and appreciation at the same
time. There can be no depreciation when
the corporation Is engaged in a tussle
over rates with the community. and ap-
preciaton when it is fighting hard for a
high physical valuation.
Revolves Around Two Propositions.
''The whole gas question revolves
| around two propositions-the repair ac-
count and depreciation. When repairs
and extensions come out Of the pockets
Of the public instead Of the paid-in
stock. it is time to protest and ask for
full knowledge on the subject.
Mr.. Welliver began his talk with a
strong plea to the public not to be salts
fed with the reduction to 80 cents which
the gas company announced yesterday.
THE gas companies always pursue the
policy of making minor concessions when
ever there is agitation" he ramarked, 'if
the gas companies can give ninety-cent-
gas, | believe on the theory that 1t is
but a minor conSession, that they would
never object to bill for seyenty-five-cent
gas. and l confidently believe the courts
would sustain sixty-fve-cent bill.
Expresses q Belief.
II believe that the gas companies will
now go to Congress and say: We've given
the people the cheap gas they wanted,
now give US permission to reorganize'
Il hope. though. that the people will
see through this scheme and will oppose
1t bitterly. 1 want to see a bill prepared
by the brains Of the city. backed by the
Chamber Of Commerce-let 1t be called the
Chamber of Commerce bill-which will
remedy every gas evil which we now
suffer. AS for the Gallinger bill, 1t is
the worst piece Of legislation ever saw.
not only hope 1t will not go through, but
/ hope nothing like 1t will ever pass. This
Chamber Of Commerce bill, should ask for
75-cent gas. should provide for auditing
the companies books. supervision OF the
meters and manufacture and the captali-
zation. First of all we should have
valuation Of the plant, and the Interstate
commerce commission could make q good
one for us to start on.

Death OF Edwiu Ericsson

Edwin Ericsson, oldest son of f.. w.
Ericsson of Big Springs, died last Friday
afternoon at about $50 o'clock, follow.
ing an operation for appendicitis. He
was in his usual rugged health until the
Saturday before, when he was taken
sick. DR.. Sawyer OF Sioux City was
summoned and, assisted by Dr. Hyden
OF Alcester, the operation was perform
ed Monday. The physicians found the
appendix in bad shape and gave little
hope of recovery.
For several days following the opera.
tion he was conscious, although suffer.
ing pain good deal of the time. He
realized that he could not recover and
left messages for all his friends which
they cherish as precious legacy. Thurs
day night he was taken worse, but lin
gered, conscious most of the time, until
Friday night Charles Edwin was l2
years of age and, with his parents, two
brothers and two sisters is mourned by
a large and devoted circle of friends.
The funeral was attended Sunday af-
ternoon in the Baptist church at Big
Springs. The church was filed TO its
utmost capacity. Prof. Magan of the
Nashville. Tenn. university, who
CHANGED TO be in the vicinity. preached
The funeral sermon, assisted by the pas
tor Rev. 5. A. Nielsen. Many beautiful
and fitting ti)ral offerings were sent by
sympathizing friends. The burial was in
the Big Spring cemetery.
The mourning friends are now keenly
conscious OF their loss, but more and
more will come into a sense Of their pos
session in the realities of the world be-
yond, into which their loved one has
passed. To teach this lesson is the
mission of afiiiction and If we learn it
well we may rest assured it is worth all
IL costs.
