item of combined expense covering gas and electricity, is that of salaries The next largest item is that of taxes and licenses. I am frank to state that the items covered by general expense are in some instances entirely too high This will necessarily have to be taken into consideration in establishing rate schedules.
 Tn checking over the disbursing journal to ascertain what some of the general expense was, found that large sums are paid out for advertising, which I consider very unnecessary. For instance. during the month of June 1912 there was paid to the Arizo- na Democrat. $2OO. There are charges in each and every month for advertis- ing of this nature This does not in any way benefit the company or the community
 Near the conclusion of his report he refers to a statement allowing $30,O expense in connection with the Demo- crat
 THE EXAMINATION. In the examination which followed the subject of the ownership of the | Democrat was discussed and the de- fendants accused the witness of say ! ing his remarks showed animus, add l ing that the company in it's considera- 1 ton of it's utility business, Tn no way l cOnfOunded it with the ownership of the newspaper
 The afternoons examination of the witness was designed to bring out his reason for several contentious. funda mental and otherwise, which differ ma . terially from the views held by the company. For instance the apprecia- tiOn of property values on which added
 taxes are paid etc. The defense held
 that Wisconsin and other commissions
 approve of appreciated values. The
 witness believed the principle was fun
 damentally wrong, regardless of WhC
 held a contrary view
 Efforts were also made to discover
 the methods by which the witness haC
 arrived at machinery costs, construc
 tiOn costs and operating expenses, rel
 ative to machinery that it contendeC could not be installed for the sum
 given by the witness. There was alsc
 some discussion of operating expense during past years and a suggestion that costs could be verified by the wit ness or some other representative o the commission going over all the olt vouchers to see if there had not beel overcharges. MT. Massen seemed to b rather keen for such an investigation

 Mir. Koiner says that in preparing the report he has given attention to all details relative to the construction of the property as well as to it's oper- ation.

 In comparing prices with the com panys engineer he said they had been able to agree on some valuations but differed a great deal on others. He said he had allowed a slight charge for engineers services during construc- tion period though he doubted if any cost accrued in that way, believing that all engineering advice came from reg ular employees For the same reason he had allowed no profits for contrac-

HATS MOSTLY IN ONE COLOR
One Small, Vivid Touch of Display Is

Hats show nothing now They COW
er the head as we'll as they can and
since becoming accustomed to the
style people like it. Women look odd
with none Of the back hair showing,
but oddly is apparently something the
couturier and modiste both seek for
their clients. Plush and velvet make
the best big hats, while those for
smaller shapes are of fur-if the own.
er can afford the fur, for only good
pieces go in hats, and such a hat
means handful of money. A class
Of women wear imitation fur, even on
the head, where the counterfeit is so
marked, but we'll dressed women do
not incline to it.
During the last few days a note OF
red has been introduced on black hats
for morning wear. This is generally
in chou of ruby, scarlet or empire
red, and little is employed. There is
no great variety about hats this win

white and when not that, then in vio-

pie and require little trimming. The

Shapes are not pretty, but they are
picturesque and fit the head well.
If a color be put with purple it is

of the latter. Plumes are no longer
modest. They are long and wide, the

MAY OPEN UP RESERVATION
Government's Decision to Give Oneida
indians Patents in Fee Will Pos
sibly Bring White Settlers.

Green Bay-The Indian office has
announced it's purpose to issue pat
ents in fee to all Oneida Indians who
NAV be recommended as competent
TO care for their own affairs and
Supt. Hart has been directed to pre-
pare list of such persons.
Of the $1,000 acres OF the original
reservation, about 10000 acres are
still held under trust patents. About
one-third of this land belongs to
estates and the remaining two-thirds
tn the original allottees. This prob
ablv will result in opening to white
settlers, a big portion OF the LANDS
now held by the Oneidas The effect
of this order is to shorten by about
five years the trust period OF twenty
five years which would otherwise ex-
pire in 1917.
The government school will be
closed in 1913.

SAFETY IN BLACK AND WHITE
Matter Of CoIors May Be Eliminated
From the Minds of Women While
Fashion Lasts.

Surely a woman does not have to
worry much about colors this winter.
1t is sheer waste of time to look in
the mirror with the sunlight and the
electric light at different times to see
whether a piece of purple or green or
blue or brown, placed under the chin,
reflects a becoming glow on the skin.
The stores show dozens of colors,
and the dressmakers offer them to you
in half-hearted way, but if you know
what's what in the world of fashion
you will brush them all aside and go
in heavily for black and white.
There was some sense in struggling
against this edict last summer be-
cause here and there barbaric and
Byzantine colors darted their heads
