WATER RATES.
q New Ordinance Governing the Charge to Users of Water Adopted by the
 Municipal Council.

The recent ruling by the state corporation commission declaring illegal minimum rates charged by public utilities corporations has rendered necessary change in the method of charging for service by electric lighting, gas and water companies; and they have had to abandon their minimum rates, whatever they were, and resort to charges for actual service. Under the former system a public utility corporation supplying any of the commodities named made always a charge of at least one dollar per month to any consumer, whether the water, gas or electricity sup piled measured up to that sum of money UT not. Under the new ruling the charge can be made for no more than the amount measured, and where there would be none consumed, as in many cases with gas and electricity in short evenings, there can be made no charge what ever, where formerly there was a charge always of one dollar or a dollar and half per month. Where public utility corporation had been charging up to the full limit granted by their franchise, it can make charge now for no more of the commodity delivered than was consumed at the price, and it is shut out from charging rent for meters. A ruling made at the same time by the corporation com. mission declaring illegal the charge made formerly for rent of meters shut out even that item. Only the actual consumption can be charged and at the rate granted in the fran chise of the company performing the service. Of course where a corporation was charging 8 rate less than the maximum fixed in it's franchise it can raise the price to that maximum; but it can make no charge without consumption.
 But municipal corporations have a right to regulate rates charged by public utilities, and where sucn a corporation owns it's own water system it can adjust the charge; or rates to consumersI of water st they will pay somewhere about the same amount each month that they did under the former arrangement or somewhere near the cost of deliv
 cry. That has been done by the Nogales town government and tht following is the schedule of rates established in an ordinance:

WAySiDE NOTES.
"The Oasis" Editor Finds More Items of interest In the Patagonia
 Mountain Region.

MT. Charles l.. Fowler TIE OASIS man set out last Saturday after noon for trip to Mowry and Pa tagonia, obeying the request of telegram from Kansas City to go over into the vicinity of the first named place to make an examina- tlon and report on a mining prop erty. As the start was late, and the distance to be covered was great, saving of time and distance was hoped by taking the short cut to the Santa Cruz river through the Carbon ranche and over the trail along the international line; :; but as that part of the trip took fully two hours the conclusion was reached that short cuts are no sav- ing. There Is consumed too much time in climbing up and down the steep trails oyer the high hills and down into cations and ravines and out of them again. Striking the river road and following it down to the Harrison ranche, the cross- ing was made there. At the Har- rison reservoir 1 met Mir. J. k. Hunter, who was trying for shot at some ducks on the water there, but they were frightened away by band of horses coming from the soldiers camp near by, to drink. Mir. Hunter stated that he had come out from town with Mir. w. H. Kelso and a Mir. NJ. B. Burke, a prominent Colorado mining mar. from Denver, who had been out to look at the properties of Mir. 1. G King, on the west side of the Pa stagonia mountains, near the Wash lngton Camp road.
 Taking on up the road named after crossing the river 1 reached the entrance to the cafion about dark, and plodded along until nearly seven o'clock, when 1 came to camp fire beside the road, neal the junction of another road down into the Rankin place. There were two gentlemen in the camp, their wagon near at hand and the tea n grazing close by. Nothing 10th accepted their invitation to dis. mount and take some supper which they had just served themselves As l got closer to the fire l found my hosts to be Messrs. Mcfarland and Menefee, two we'll known min Ing men making their headquarter; at Nogales, who have been looking about the county some time, anC were en route to Duquesne. To my surprise l was served with a delici ous roast duck, cooked to turr Tn camp oven, some rye bread anC not tea, making a meal which wal disposed of with great gusto, and i fortified greatly for the long rid, yet ahead. It was too dark to try the trail across the mountain iron the Rankin place, so, after bidding my genial hosts adieu, 1 climbed into the saddle, and continued along the road over the Washing ton Pass, getting glimpses of tn
 'ghts of Nogales, many mile away, as 1 rounded the turns il Lne road in the vicinity of tn crescent Copper Company's camp

MORALES ARIZONA SATURDAY, OCTOBER oI2 Who

reaches point where the monthly consumption is 14,O0O gallons. where the charge is the same as it has been under the rate charged by the town heretofore, forty cents per 1000 gallons and all above that to 30,000 is charged at that rate. All consumption above 30,00O gallons is charged at the rate of twenty-five cents with 100,- 900, and to any consumer exceeding that sum there will be made special rates.
 The raise in rates falls more heavily, apparently, upon those whose monthly consumption lies between 150 gallons and 4,000. All such have been enjoying flat rate of $1.50 per month. They find themselves advanced in their total monthly charge up to S115 greater, and all pay little more until 14,000 gallons are reached, where the old rate and the new stand alike: forty cents per 1000 gallons. As stated at the outset of this article there had to be change in the water rates on account of the new ruling of the corporation commission abolishing the minimum charge and rental of meters. Then there was most potent reason why the change inevitable had to be a raise all along the line, and that is the fact that under the former rate the water department of the Town of Nogales clnnot earn sufficient money to m ,et the interest on the bonds ap nprized and sold to sup ply mu Ii ;ipal water system. It remains b9 seen whether it will do so at thJ recent remarkable in- crease in rates. Unless it does there will have to be another raise, or taxation to meet the deficit.
 It will he recollected that the Nogales Water Company charged a flat rate of $1.50 per month on all small consumers, with flat rates adjusted to probable consumption, as agreed meters were installed and a monthly charge of fifty cents per
 1000 gallons was made. That was the maximum rate under the franchise granted the company by
 the town. It will be recollected also that earnest advocates of muni- cipal water system and a bond is- sue to provide one argued and
 asserted that under their plan
 the town could support muni
 cipal system at a far smaller rate
 for water than the water company
 was charging. Shortly after taking over the system the town made
 reduction of 2096 in meter rates, giving water, to all who had meters
 at 40 cents, and putting meters in
 at all places where the consumption
 would exceed the minimum. It was
 apparent at once that such an ar
 rangement would not do, and that there would have to be raise in water rates to meet expenses and interest on the bond issue or in taxation to meet a deficit. Then came the sweeping order of the state corporation commission abol' , ishing minimum rates and meter ] rents, which cut the revenue of the water department far deeper; and
 it was up to the council to read } just water rates to the conditions. Under the situation as described 5 the people of Nogales can see that <, now they are up against condi- 9 tion that was feared by THE OASIS

Camp, which passed at one Slde, near the bottom of the hill, where the road makes long detour and takes up another long hill, was regretting that 1 had all that long distance to travel when there is a trail that is much shorter, and would save fully half an hour of travel, but with misgivings about taking it 1 had decided to keep in the road. In that resolution 1 had omitted taking into calculation the horse, who quietly turned into the trail in the dark and acted as if he knew just where he was and where he was going. Somewhat dubious I.let him have his head, and the way he threaded his path among the trees and brush, keeping the trail which was unseen by me, was a surprise and a revelation. Occasional land marks with which 1 am familiar loomed up in the dark and treasured me that the horse was not going wrong, which he did but once, and then he took up canon instead of up hill, which l recognized at once, as on the line of the trail. After letting him go two or three rods 1 turned him up the hill and came to the trail but a few rods away. Nowhere else did he go astray, although the places where 1 was sure he was following the trail were not very frequent. lt was not long before he led me into the main road, and 1 knew that l was approaching the end of long and tiresome ride. At bali past nine 1 rode into the premises of MT. Fred J. Miller, near Mowry and was glad to dismount.
 Mrs. Miller and her son Charles had been expecting me, but they had reached a conclusion that had failed to come and had retired for the night. However they were up quickly and Mrs. Miller insisted npon cooking supper for me, tc which l did justice, fully and amply.
 MT. Miller is in Kansas City, but he is expected to return home some time next week, when there vii be something doing in that vicin ity.
 Sunday morning 1 was up be times, and one of the first sights that attracted my attention wa: the fine corn MT. Miller had raised on the Mowry Flat, without irriga tion, part of which had been GU for fodder and shocked. The corr had been planted late in May, ant it was the latest in that part of tn, country. The ground had beer plowed deeply and the seed plant ed at the depth of twelve inches Six inches is the usual depth tC plant corn, and the Milers wer, vouchsafed the information tha their deeply planted corn would never come up. But it did, an( when the corn on other ranche over in that part of the countr, was but one foot in height this wa two feet. When it finished grow ing it was twelve feet high, and a the time of my visit last Sunda, the field, some twenty acres, was fine sight. The great shocks, stand ing ten and twelve feet high, wit the standing corn beyond, made } pretty picture, and l secured som good photographs, from which a engraving will be made to appea 4 in THE OASIS at 8 later date.
