Those troublesome conduits kept
the council busy in an informal ses-
sion that lasted TIL twelve o'clock
last night, but NO results are forth
coming as yet. The question Of an
extension OF franchise for the River

bothers the city fathers a good DEAL

LIGHTS AT Each CORNER.
Council Considers Proposal to Make
Abilene "City Beautiful"

I
Electric lights at each Of the four
corners Of every street crossing In
the downtown district, borne on or
namental iron standards, instead Of
one ugly lamp suspended by wires
in the middle of the intersecting
streets, is part Of the proposal con-
sidered by the council at its regular
meeting last night. Next Monday
final action will probably be taken.
The discussion centers on just what
concessions the city ought TO demand
from the Riverside Light and Power
company in return for an extension
OF the. term Of the company's street
privileges to 20 years,
G. l.. Brown, for the company, Of
fered to accept the average rate paid
for street lighting in any five towns
| in the state which the council might
select, as the rate here. He also Of
fered to furnish light for municipal
use at 8 cents per kilowat, the COM
pany furnishing all appliances and
fixtures;. at IN cents II the city
furnished the posts; or at 6M cents
IL the city furnished everything. Some
Of the councilmen are holding out
| for an unconditional 8 cent rate.
The citizens committee which has
been considering the lighting prob
lem, in its report last night, recon-
mended that the 20 year extension
be granted, the city being given the
right to purchase the plant at any
time during that period, at a price
to be determined by board Of three
dlsinterested and competent electric
cal engineers, one selected by the
city, one by the power company. and
one by the Judge OF the district court,
The report further stated that cleo
trio light conduits could be put In
ahead Of the paving II no time we're
lost. 1t strongly urged the under
ground wiring system, naming the
sum of $S,546.5O, as the approx
mate cost of putting in outlets for
the lamps in the down town section.
Forty-four lamps, the report stated
will be required to light the streets
and alleys in the paving district.
This will provide an Independent
conduit system, having no connection
with the telephone company, except
that junction boxes will be installed
in nine of the manholes belong to
the telephone company. The COM
mittee recommended that the city
reserve the right to purchase the
conduit system any time within two
years for $3,546.5O, with interest at
7 per cent. A draft of a proposed
ordinance embodying the more I'M
portant features of It accom-
panied the report.

nance the council disposed OF a num-

Good News.

Panama, Nov. 16.-The Panama
canal will be completed December !,
1913. This information was given to
President Taft while inspecting the
famous Gatun dam. The official date
Of opening remains January l, 1915,
Lieutenant Colonel Goethals desiring
one year in which to train the canal
tenders and to get the machinery
working smoothly. r
Ships meantime will be granted the
privilege of the canal but at their own
risk and delay.
In addition, it was announced by
the colonel, that the report that Presi-
dent Taft's visit was the forerunner
of another appropriation was un
founded The canal will be completed
in 1913, he said, within the $685.
100000 already authorized.
The president was pleased at the
outlook for the early completion and
congratulated Colonel Goethals He
expressed amaZement at the work ac-
complished since his visit in February,
1909. He displayed knowledge OF
the technical details that surprised
the officials, his familiarity dating
back to the time he was secretary of
war, when he advocated lock canal
as against sea level system He
was greatly surprised at the inn
| mensity of the dam, some idea of
which can be gained from the fact
that the train was under way nearly
| three hours on the spur tracks over
running the great fill
The visit of President Taft has ut
terly dispelled any fears gained from
sensationalists respecting the stability
OF the dam base, which is half mile
wide and SO gradually sloped that ii
could never be recognized as dam
Colonel Goethals explained that the
informal opening Of the canal in 1918
necessitated immediate action on the
part of congress relative to toll rates
because l8 months would be required
by shipping interests to adjust their
rates to the new routing
The president expressed himself as
delighted to find the efficiency of the
workers increasing daily The cana
is beginning to take the form of {
waterway and this accelerates the in
terest of the employees, thus Fastening
completion.
Colonel Goethels is not offciall,
promising that the canal will be com
pleted in 1913, least contractors de

LA FOLLETTE'S COMMENT.
Wisconsin Insurgent Tells Reasons
for Recent Democratic Victories.

Madison, Wis, Nov. Ex-senator
Robert NJ La Follette's magazine, in
its issue today, discusses the recent
election. 1t says:
THE result OF the fall election is a
declaration in plain terms that the
people will have no more senate and
house committees in congress dictated
by Morgan's private office and no
more bills drawn by his attorneys in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
The people in this election serve no
tice that the laws will be enacted and
the government administered in the
public interest or the men responsible
will be driven out. 1t is not demo-
cratic victory
"In the states where the democrats
won it was the republican defeat that
condemns the Taft administration,
with Ballinger, Wickersham, Hitch
cock and the like. the reputation of
Aldrichism in the senate and Can
nonism in the house.
1T is stern warning to the repub-
lican party to renounce in the execu-
tive and legislative departments the

Bl]TTE'S BAD RECORD
FOR SHORT WEIGHTS
GOVERNMENT EXPERT SAYS
WORST CITY IN THE EN-
TIRE COUNTRY.

Butte, Nov. 1.-THE shortages are
enormous-in fact, l never saw any
thing like it in all my experiences"
Thus spoke F. S. Holbrook, of the
bureau of standards of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, Wash
ington, this afternoon.
Mr.. Holbrook has been in the city
for several days, moving quietly
around the stores, inspecting the
goods sold, taking memorandum OF
the weight of packages and testing
scales.
In talking with an Inter Mountain
reporter this afternoon Mr.. Holbrook
said that he had travelled throughout
the east and in Minnesota and the
Dakotas in his official capacity col
lecting information as to weights and
measures to be used for the purpose
of framing legislation by congress to
deal with these subjects in national
way.
This is the first time l have been
in the west as far as Butte, and l am
leaving for California to attend to
some matters there, regarding which
I received instructions since coming
to this city.
"You ask about the conditions
here. Well, my reply is that they are
certainly most deplorable. I have
found scales all the way from one to
four and half ounces short, and this
will apply to at least 50 per cent. of
the scales have inspected. In the
matter Of butter. for instance, ]
found that hve-pound packages were
all the way from six to eight ounces
short in weight, and the one-pound
packages two ounces short. Right
through the shortage, tell you, is
enormous. I never found such con-
dition existing anywhere before in all
my experience"
Mr.. Holbrook had a conference
with Mayor Nevin this afternoon.
After looking over the ordinance
passed short time ago dealing with
short weights, Mr.. Holbrook re-
marked: "Well. that ordinance seems
all right, but it does seem to be lack
ing most essential feature, the pro-
vision for enforcing it and bringing
all vio1ators before your police judge"
"The ordinance does not meet the
conditions as perfectly as I would
like" replied Mayor Nevin. II pro-
pose, however now, to have Wig

orous prosecution commenced against

orous prosecution commenced against
every merchant giving short weights.
| have had talk with the inspector
of meats and milk in the health de-
partment and he is going to act in
the capacity of prosecutor. We are
not unaware of the conditions exist
ing, but certainly we were not aware
that conditions in regard to short
weights we're nearly so bad as you
have discovered"
Mr.. Holbrook expressed his pleas
ure at learning from the mayor that
the short weight men were going to
be prosecuted He pointed out to
the mayor that an inspector of scales
was necessary to see that they were
properly adjusted
''Let me illustrate the necessity OF
this so that innocent people MAY not
be dealt with unjustly. Today I went
into certain establishment where a
very expensive scale had been pur-
chased for the purpose of weighing
light and expensive goods such as
high-class teas. I questioned the man
about the scale He said it was alb
solutely correct and showed me that
it was adjusted at zero.
"Then further to show me how cor
rect it was he weighed out pound
of tea. This pound of tea afterwards
turned out to be three quarters of an
ounce over the required weight
Now, there was man cheating him
self, still his scale was not properly
adjusted and he would be liable to
punishment if the scale happened to
be three quarters of an ounce short,
notwithstanding that he had had it
adjuster at zero and was acting per
fectly honest in the matter so far as
he was concerned. An inspector OF
weights and measures would remedy
all such cases and give the purchaser
a pound for pound and at the same
time the merchant would not be liable
to cheat himself"
Mr.. Holbrook rendered the mayor
lot of facts regarding ordinances
any time in the way of vb vbgkqgk
dealing with weights and measures
and informed him that he would be
pleased to give him information at
any time in the way Of amending the
present ordinance so as to meet GER
tain defects in drafting new ordi-
nance.

TAFT WILL PLEASED
/ With WORK ON CANAL
PRESIDENT TAFT 1NSPECTS
PROGRESS ON THE BIG
DITCH,

Panama, Nov. 16.-President Tafts
visit is bearing fruit in the matter of
first hand information secured which
will help him to deal with the prob
lens involved in the construction,
maintenance and control of the Pan
anna canal.
Officials on the ground are urging
the president to recommend to con-
gress single-headed government for
the canal zone and full and permanent
government control of the waterway
and the supply depots.
President Taft is gratified over the
results of his three days inspection
Today he went deep into the Culebra
cut, giving especial attention to this,
the most difficult part of the con-
struction.
The president was surprised to
in the operations of the postal bank
law and that some of the workmen
believed that Wall street influence
had robbed them Of the benefit of
this legislation.
1t is probable Mr.. Taft, in his
special message to congress, will
recommend that provisions be made
for the establishment Of the postal
bank law in the zone.
During the day the president heard
delegations of mechanics and labor
ers who are asking increased wages,
based on increases in the United
States. Conditions here, however,
differ from those in the United States,
as the government commissary has
been successful in aveting the high
cost Of living that has been present
elsewhere It is doubtful if higher
wages will be paid in the zone.
Tonight the president will leave
Culebra to enter Panama City, whree
he will be t he guest of President
Arosemcna at banquet. He also
will visit American Minister Dawson,
who recently returned from special
mission to Nicaragua, where he as

BUSINESS men THE WcTORS
A Great Game Of Ball Played
Last Sunday.
Spirit Lake Here Next Sunday

The ball game between the Pole Men
and Business and Professional Men OF
the town, held at the ball park Sunday
afternoon proved the biggest laugh pro-
vpking event in many a month. In
fact, the audience was kept in such good
humor all through the game that when
time was called at the end of the seventh
inning, as had previously been agreed
upon, the crowd clamored for more of
the classic exhibition.
Kelly's array of business and profess
sional men looked more like fat mem 3
lineup, and tended to convey the inn
preston that the interests represented
we're on substantial basis. With Dove
Morgan, Louie Kirchan, Sim Appleman
and Emlyn Jones and few lesser
weights they lined up a good manv
pounds of avoirdupois. AL Reid, who
closely resembled the Yens Yensen of
the comic supplement, was one of the
few lean ones.
Jones and DR.. Nelson constituted the
battery for the business men, while
Flynn brothers did the pitching for the
pole men, with Will Moeser, Jr., as re-
ceiver. Will Flynn started to pitch, but
the array of heavy hitters on the oppos.
ing team put him out of business in the
first inning and netted eight runs.
Charlie Flynn was then put into the box
and with strong whip and good speed
held down the big fellows.
The first inning was riot of runs and
fun. The big fellows walked up to the
plate as jauntily as if it was an every
day affair, and swatted the ball to the
brush. When the dust of battle had
cleared away eight runs had been gath
cred in and lead established that the
pole men could not reach. After the
first inning the game ran smoothly until
the seventh, when the score stood 1e to
IA in favor of the business men.
1t was mighty fun for the crowd in
the bleachers and grand stand. and the
players also had their share of the sport,
although it had been many year since
some of them disported on the diamond

OF THE COUNCIL
Another Light and Power Fran
chise Asked For.
Routine Business Of City Dads

The town council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday evening. All members and
the mayor were present.
Ordinance No. 115, establishing fire
limits in the town of Newport, was given
third reading and passage. This ordi-
nance was passed in order to cover the
repair of frame buildings, which cannot
be done hereafter without securing per-
mission from the council.
Ordinance No. 116, fixing the dog tax
at 81 per head, was given first and Sec
ond readings. The council had pre-
viously tried to fix the license at $3 for
male and s. for female dogs, but upon
investigation it was found to conflict
with the state law, which fixes the Ii
cense at sum not to exceed 81.
A number of sidewalks about town
were reported to be in bad shape. The
matter was referred to the committee on
streets for attention. The town clerk
was instructed to give property owners
in the improvement districts final ten
days. notice to construct walks. and if
not complied with at the end of that
time the town will put in walks and
assess the cost against the properties.
Clerk Britton was instructed to get
bids on 200 feet of hose for the FIRE de-
partment. The department desires
about 500 feet, but the council is in
clined to economise and thinks 200 feet
additional will be sufficient.
It was decided to partition off ten feet
in the rear of the town hall, to be fitted
up for lodgings for unmarried members
of the fire company, 90 that they will be
at hand to answer promptly all fire
alarms. The rooms to be furnished
without expense to the town.

Co. made application for a grade line on
the north side of their building at the
corner of Washington and Pine street.
as they desire to lay cement walk
along the property.
A communication was received from

the council for q franchise to furnish
