NO AGREEMENT REACHED
FOR LIGHTS AT CANTC

Canton. S. D., Feb. u.-This city has
been strictly in the dark for the past two
months, and the prospects are hat the
present month will bring no relief in the
matter of street lights. The city council
and the Cantor General Electric company
are unable to come to an agreement as
to prices for street lighting. The con-
tract between the city council and the
electric company, which terminated in
September last, was twice renewed for
one month in which time 1t was thought
the company would make the price for
the lights to the city for less. AT the
end of the first month nothing was re-
ported and the same condition prevailed
at the end of the second month. so the
council in order to bring the company TO
time said the city would have no street
lights until the company came down q
little. The price charged for each 1900 c.
+. arc lamp per month, based upon the
| o'clock. moonlight schedule, was $500.
All through December and January peo-
pie either went in the dark, assisted by
the Wilderness of the snow, or carried
lanterns, However. with the disappear
ance OF the snow. the melting of which
not only makes the arkness greater but
also increases the danger from falling by
reason of the ice forming all over the
sidewalks, the people are clamoring for
light AT the last meeting or the council
the company made IL proposition to put in
10 G. II. Tungsten lamps at $500 per an
mum on the same schedule as above. The
council agreed TO accept this on an all
night schedule

Less Statistics Show Than
for Preceding Year.

Washington, Feb. 12.-One contribu-
ting cause to the high price of meat,
according TO a report of the depart
ment of and labor issued to-
day, is the fact that live stock receipts
for the year 1909 at seven leading in
terror markets of the United States
were the lowest since 1904.
The total live stock receipts for the
year 1909 in these markets aggregated
SO. 545. 725 head. Particularly did the
receipts of hogs for the last yea fall
off. For each of the four years pre-
vious to 1909 the hog receipts had been
in excess of 1900 900 head, totaling
more than $4,000. 900 in 1908. falling to
Is, S34.641 last year.
The report also shows that grain re-
ceipts at Is of the principal markets
during 1909 were IA, 624.06 bushels.
which was lower than for any year
since 1904.

RATE HEARING IN
CHICAGO REVEALS
ROADS POSITION
Four Valuations Submitted by
Corporation to Combat Con-
tention of State.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Feb. 1.-THE adj
journed hearing in the South Dakota
rate cases now on at the Chicago office
of the Northwestern road, with Attor-
ney General Clark, Special Counsel p.
w. Dopgherty and Railroad Commits
sioner w. G. Smith appearing for the
state, with Carl c.. Witt, chief engineer
for the board. is bringing out the basis
upon which the company will contest
the reduction in passenger rates which
the commission attempted to promul-
gate.
To A. C. johnson, general agent;
W. A Gardner, vice president in charge
of operation. and Edward G. Carter,
chief engineer. all for the road, are
entrusted the defense of the position
taken by the road, and Carriers testi-
mony develops some interesting prop
ositions. These are explained by w G..
Smith in a letter to Interested parties
here. He says in part:
1T developed on the cross examina-
ton of Mr.. Carter by Attorney General
Clark, which was very thorough and
technical, that there were four apprais-
ed valuations in the opinion of Mr..
Cartero-ne for purposes of purchase;
one purposes of sale; one for purposes
of reproduction, and one for purposes
of taxation.
The basis of valuation given by Mr..
Carter for purposes of reproduction,
which the railway company desires
shall be used as a basis in the 2-cent
passenger rate case, is based on the
cost Of reproduction of every item new,
in all it's parts to which the company
desires to add about 10 per cent of the
cost of the original grading of the
Toadbod, for what they term auaDta-
ton and solicitation Of the roadbed,'
which usually takes on the average
about eight years to acquire.
THUS 1t appears that the company is
seeking an added value of about 10
per cent above what it would cost to
reproduce the grade new, while they
are unwilling to allow any deductions
for depreciation in value of ties, struc-
lures or rolling stock which has been
in use for many, many years"
Those representing South Dakota at
the hearing express themselves as be-
ing well pleased with the cross Exam
ination of Mr.. Carter, for the facts
brought out OF his cross examination
tend to bring down the appraisal val
uation of the railroad to near the VAL
uation as determined by the South Da-
kota railroad commissioners. The VAL
uation fixed by the railroad commits
sioners is on the basis that the deteri-
grafton of ties, bridges, depots and
rolling stock should be considered and
allowances made for the same, so as
to get at the actual present value of
the railroad.
