The Douglas chamber of commerce and mines directory should turn it's attention to the legitimate work of boosting more patronage for the newspapers, which work day after day for the advancement Of Douglas. rather than giving the newspapers advice. It would accomplish fully as much for the welfare of this city. There are two sides to the question as to how far a newspaper should go in publishing reports of disturbances or threatened trouble in Mexico. One Is that the publication of alleged trouble in that country necessarily tends to scare would-be investors and interferes with pending deals and de yelopment. The other side is the dR- ! ty imposed on the newspapers es- peclally along the border, to keep its readers posted as to conditions in our neighbor republic. Should d newspaper suppress any reported trouble in Mexico and Americans o. others should go across the line and lose their lives because of the sup pression of these reports then the newspapers would nose likely be ac- cused of criminal negligence of their duty.
 The International has published re- cent stories regarding threatened trouble in Mexico. That there Is trouble or at least alarm in Sonora because Of expected trouble is at tested by the activity of the military forces in that state. This paper pub iished one report from the publicity agent of the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines, who was in Mexico a few days ago in which 1t said:.

 proportions has been discovered.

COMPLAIN OF HIGH
INSURANCE RATES
Alameda Business Men Say That
Premiums Blight Indus
trial District

ALAMEDA, Feb. 1S.-The high rates
demanded by the insurance companies
on risks in the industrial district adj
jacent to the Webster street roadway
are said by the businessmen in that
section to be blighting the growth
of the district.
The chamber of commerce and rep
resentatives of firms having ware
houses and plants in the industrial dis
trict are to request the scity council TO
require the Peoples water company TO
install an eight inch fire main in the
district. The water corporation was
asked to make the Improvement last
year, but refused.
AS an instance of the high rates eX-
acted by the insurance companies in
the Industrial district, +. w. Herbert
of the John Maxwell company, in an
address before the chamber of com
merce, said that his firm was compelled
to pay a premium of $4.75 for one year

SPRING VALLEYS
REPLY TECHNICAL
Admits Failure to Spend Money
Allowed for Erection OF
Pump and Tank

Technical objections raised on de
murrer by the Spring Valley water
company to the suit of the city TO
compel the corporation to erect a pump
and tank at Parker avenue and Fulton
street for the supply of water to resi-
dents in the neighborhood. were dis
cussed yesterday before Judge SeawelI
by Edward J. McCutcheon. representing
the water company. and Assistant Dis
triet Attorney Haven. for the city.
In 1907, when the supervisors were
fixing the water rate. the company de-
manded> and was allowed SASS. in ad-
dition to everything else. to cover the
cost of the works. 1t is not denied By
the Spring Valley company that it was
allowed this sum for the specific pur-
pose mentioned. but yet it refuses TO
erect the necessary tank and pump.
McCutcheOn's main argument was
that the obligation was a contract be-
tween the city and the company, and
that a contract could not be enforced
by mandamus- A mandamus can only
be used, he said, TO enforce a legal
duty arising out of a trust.
Haven replied TO this that the com
pany asked for the money and was
given it for a particular purpose. It's
refusal to carry out the purpose for
which it received the money certainly
subjected public service corporation
to mandamus, said the assistant city
attorney.
The real point a issue in the case
is whether the city can compel the
water company to increase its plant,
and the decision in this case will de-
termine that point. Judge Seaweu took
the demurrer under submission.
