keanino factories Out.


Not long ago when skirt factory
was to locate in Marshalltown the only
condition blocking 1t was the fact that
electric power here would cost the
company as much as they were paying
at Des Moines and Newton combined
The franchise election was on and the
mayor secured some kind of conces-
sion from Jones e Hovey which landed
the skirt factory, such is the import
ance Of power rate to a town.
Ft. Scott, KAN, $4,000 people bids
for new factories with a maximum
power rate Of cents whereas Mar
shalltown's city council lets Jones &
Hovey charge 10 cents. The CONNER
cial Club thinks that it is boosting
when it stands for the charge.
Huntington, Ind, 11,000 people, holds
it's private ownership down to a cent
maximum power rate while Ann Arbor,
Mich, $4,000 people holds it down to
AZ cents. Kewanee, Ill, II, 900 people
will not stand for more than z cents
nor will Lafayette, Ind, 10000 people.
but the city council and boosters in
Marshalltown have been willing to ask
new factories to climb over Jones &
Hovey's 10 cent maximum rate until
Hull proposed al cent rate. Four cents
would he remunerative to the company
here as 1t is elsewhere and would build
up the town.
None Of these rates were referred to
in yesterdays list and there are yet
more to come. BY reading them one
can understand now public utility
company can clean up $4,000 per an
mum on an actual equity Of only $4,000
above its borrowed money. 1T explains
why Main street is dark, why people
in this town can use only one-third as
much gas as the same population uses
in 81 gas towns, why we do not get
street car extensions and why small
factories do not come faster.

Some More Lioht on Light Rates.

Some more Light on Light Rates.
Ellwood. Ind, $4,000 people, has =
light rate Of 10 cents and cents very
much as the Hull ordinance provides.
Jones & Hovey now charge IA Cents
and Z cents with turning point slid
ing outwards SO as to keep the bulk
of the consumption on the IA cent rate.
Jones says he will shave 10 per cent off
of this if he has to-
Chillicothe. o., and Wausau, Wis,
two towns far apart geographically but
both of about $4,000 population, have
10 cents maximum light rates while
Marshalltown pays 40 per cent more.
Marshalltown's light bill runs about
$4,000 per annum so that her excess
charge over the rate in the above two
towns would run about $4,000 annual
Christmas present for Jones & Hovey.
But many people can't use the lights at
the prohibitive price
Now, at Lawrence, Kan, 10000 peo-
pie, their highest light rate is 9h
cents; at Eau Claire, Wis, $4,000 peo-
pie it is 8 cents: at Pittsburg, Kan,
$4,000 people it is cents and at La
fayette, Ind. 10000 people it is cents.
Why then have we let Jones & Hovey
charge us IA cents? Why listen to
Jones' offer to make it 1914 cents?
Why not cut the Hull ordinance rate
from 10 cents to cents?

WHIskEY AND HEAT ARE FATAL

Lying under a mesquite tree west of the railroad depot at Imperial Junc- tion, the body of a man apparently about forty-five years old was found on Saturday afternoon of last week The man weighed about 165 pounds, was 5 feet 10 inches high and had brown hair turning gray On the body was found a new hat, purchased from Stevenson Brothers, of Impe- rial, and the body was clothed in a blue shirt, khaki trousers and new shoes. A quart bottle with a small quantity of whiskey in it was found beside the body. In a pocket of the trousers was found a ticket from Yuma to El Centro,- dated August 26. Coroner Mitchell who happened to be at Imperial Junction soon after the body was found, held an injuest and the verdict was that death was caused by whiskey and excessive heat.

AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

In today's Press appears the an- nouncement of Harry E. Miller as an independent candidate for County Tax Collector. MT. Miller for three years has been field deputy to County As- sessor Fred Fuller and has also had much experience in making up the tax rolls, so that should he be elected to the office to which he aspires, he would have the advantage of simply completing the rolls which he helped to compile. MT Miller has wide acquaintance throughout Imperial County and doubtless will make a strong race.

PICNIC PARTY POISONED.

A picnic party of thirteen people went from Coachella and Thermal, Sunday, to Salton Sea to spend the tay taking with them a generous picnic dinner. Two hours after the luncheon members of the party be- gan to feel i'll, and within a short lime the whole party was stricken, oHfy two being able to wait on the otders. Dr. Hes, formerly of Fl Gen. trO, and Mir. Hill, merchant at Mec- ca. who is a registered pharmacist, went down to the sea with medicines and worked with the picnicers all night. finally pronouncing them out of danger. It is believed that the party was affected by ptomaine poisoning from birds which had been kept in cold storage and which were used for the luncheon.

WESTEN CANADIANS
A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.


Gust. Anderson OF Maidstone, sask,
was formerly OF Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16, 1910, he writes;
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone, bought couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me, broke 20 acres which ! put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. earned s4500 by breaking
fifteen acres for a neighbor and dur
ing the summer / put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding
heavy frost on August 18th, had 221s
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. OFF 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, / got 27 bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats off
20 acres. ] never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water can be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tie"
The evidence Of Mr.. Anderson is
given because 1t is encouraging to the
man of small means who is desirous
of bettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,S47 of high
grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For
January the percentage was S2.21, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high average, and 1t
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first-class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
it's average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent. Good weather
| throughout the season was an impor.
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences OF
so favorable a character will be en-.
countered for long time to come.
| The best that can be expected is that
fair average for term of years
| will be maintained.
