THE PRICE OF GAs.MUST GO UP
But the Kansas Officials Agree That
Judge PoIlock's Figures Are
Too High.

Topeka.-That there must be an
increase in the price of natural gas
to consumers, but that it will not be
nearly as much as that ordered by
Judge John C. Pollock, was generally
agreed at the meeting here of Kan
sas City officials with the state util-
tiles commission and officials of the
gas companies.
A report of w. 7. Newman, special
accountant for the Kansas Utilities
Commission, shows a heavy decrease
in the production of natural gas from
the Kansas Naturals own fields and
in the last year big decrease in the
quantity of gas used for boiler con-
sumption.
Reports of the engineers for the re-
ceivers and of C. c. Witt for the util-
tiles commission were widely at va
rance and it finally was agreed that
both reports should be presented to
the commission for consideration.
The report of Mr.. Newman shows
an increase in the expenses of deliv-
ering gas to the distributing compa-
MES. 1t also shows that contracts
with distributing companies have
been made at higher rate than the
more recent contracts.

Mckinley Texas.-Eight persons
were killed and fifteen hurt here when
the walls Of a building occupied by
farming implement firm fell and
crashed into department store. caus-
ing that building to collapse.
Fire broke out in the ruins, and It
was believed until late at night that
the death list was much larger. At
midnight rescuers ceased Working, be-
ing assured that no more bodies re-
MANNED in the wreckage.
At the first cracking of timbers,
clerks and customers in the depart
ment store broke for the streets.
Pressed outward by the weight of the
heavy stock the wall of the implement
building swayed, sagged and burst

COST OF NATURAL GAS
ELEVEN AND A QUARTER CENTS
BRINGS 1T TO CITIES.
Figures Produced at the Hearing In
Topeka Give Insight Into
Affairs.

Topeka.-It costs the Kansas Nat
ural Gas Company liz cents thou
sand cubic feet to furnish the nat
ural gas 1t sells to the cities of Kan
sas and the border Missouri cities
That was the evidence produced by
the state before the Kansas public
utilities commission in the hearing to
establish reasonable charge for nat
ural gas. This IL cents pays the in
terest on the bonded debt of the Kan
sas Natural, provides for its sinking
fund, pays the royalties for gas and
the actual cost of pumping and de-
livering the gas at the gates of thirty
cities. 1t is, of course, the average
cost, some cities showing a higher
and some lower figure.
This information was obtained by
C. C. Witt, engineer for the commits
sion, and A. Newman, special ac.
countant from the banking depart
ment. 1t was shown from the records
that r. A. Losg, R. M. Snyder and
their associates in Kansas City had
been given $12,O0O,O0O in stock, $780,
900 in bonds and had received over
$1,0OO,O0O in dividends for the gas
leases they had procured. The stock
issue of the Kansas Natural repre-
sents the value of the gas leases.
The bond issue of IA million dollars
represents the money put into the
pipe lines and the pumping stations
of the company
For the year 1911 Mr. Wits re-
port showed that the Kansas Natural
Company collected for 42,420,0 00, 900
cubic feet of gas, a pressure of six
ounces. The report Of the accountant,
w, T. Newman, showed that the
book valuation of the first cost of
the company's plants and properties
was somewhat in excess of thirteen
million dollars.

DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
Young Minister'S Passion for self-sae-
rIfee Had Results That Might
Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement Of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one Of the
charity workers of New York to say:
Marriage itself will not be able to
luench Miss Gould's passion for CIV
ing. Apropos to this passion, she once
told me story.
There was young minister, the
story ran, who. being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
THE young minister's district con-
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats, gloves. overcoats and trousers.
yes, time and again he would give
away his clothes, foolishly and reck-
lessly. piece by piece, until"
Here the charity worker smiled.
UNTIL" she ended, 'he came to
himself"

KANSAS AND
TIE eRAssdoePERs.

F1G 0hNOSFf0NFE E ID.
 The grasshoppers that are invading Kansas this year are meeting with a different reception than that accorded then in 1873 It was a .walkaway' for the grasshopper forty years ago. In vain Anthony thundered. In vain the pale. scholarly Ingalls, essayed to stir the people with his eloquence. The Kansans, in abieet helplessness, stood while the ravaging pests gob- bled the potatoes. consumed the cloy- CT and nipped the paw paw in the bud. There was little left of Kansas when the grasshoppers departed forty years ago except the Kansans, and the pres, ence of many of those was lnvolun- tary.
 But this year the embattled farmers of Kansas are defending their altars and their fires with vlgor and eour- age and strategy. In four counties an army of 1.50O yoemen has been enrolled and they are spreading a painless but sure death for the in- vaders. It is dietetic weapon with which the Kansas farmer is armed bran mash, every flake of which is reckoned as sufficient 10 dispatch four grasshoppers forever from the soil Of Kansas. The grasshopper about to diet is about to die
 It is apparent that the Kansas of 1913 is more resourceful and more virile than the Kansas of '7s. And possibly other Commonwealths sum- moned to similar test would acquit themselves in the same way. The no ton that a higher degree of yalor obtained in the good old days is or thodox and widely prevalent, but the Tact is undoniable that today handles it's crisis quite as valiantly as yes terday fought its arattlc andrather more efficiently. If you think this is treason, gaze at Kansas.

BUSINESS METHODS IN OUR GoVERNM ENTs

Cochise County, in the past six months, has made a record in econ omy that is attracting the attention of the other counties Of tho state. Fer that record each and every depart ment of the county administration de serves full credit, but credit is also to be placed in another direction, with the Taxpayers association. With out that association it is probable that some economies would have been shown but they would not have been so many nor so great.
 It has been proven in all lines Of business that to systematize is to win success If that is so in commer- cial affairs it should be equally so in conducting the business of a city, county or state. The lines that lead to success in the one should lead ! to success in the other and the bus mess administration Is the one that saves the public money and brings re duced taxes It is along the line Of systematic government that the Co. chise County Taxpayers association has worked. It has urged economy but not parsimony. It has pointed out the savings that could be made here. the cuts of unnecessary expense that could be made there. Without the hearty cooperation of the County {! officials there could be no such saving as has been made and for that co operation the various officials arc to be congratulated.
 Other counties have copied after Cochise County Taxpayers associa tion and Gila and Maricopa have sucl strong organizations. The success al ready shown by cochise and the re
 suits that Maricopa and .Gila vii achieve will cause the formation O similar associations in other counties Later this win lead to an afiliation o
 these organizations into stat league- The expenditures of nSe stat, will be watched as carefully now a'

RIS6EE HAS ASSETS NOT ANAILEp OF.

Now that the summer rains have really arrived Bisbee can look for. ward to long season of delightful weather. pleasant days and cool nights. for these the experiences Of the past tell are what may be e-;- pected. Ordinarily it is the month of June that brings to Bisbee the days that are or seem to be the warmest and July, August and September bring no discomfort here as in other and less favored sections. This year the greater part of June was ahnor. mally cool and early July brought the warm period that usually comes some what earlier. At that there was no such ;orrid weather here as was re- ported, but with this there was no excess of humidity to bring discom- fort And now the rains have come and the heat wave is broken. There will be warm days, but hardly any protracted heat spells and cool nights will generally prevail. 2
 Climate has been made a valuable asset to many places by properly advertising it, witness the most strik. ing example, Southern California. but Bisbee has never advertised it's eli mate although it might well have dcne so since the climate enjoyed here is excelled by none. 1t might well profit by the example of others and realize upon this natural asset In time it will do SO and then many will take advantage of the knowledge sent to them and will come to enjoy it.
 Those who have looked upon the tired, drawn. heat worn faces of those travelling to their work in the larger cities of the east on August mornings during the dog days can readily make comparisons and to them come appre- ciation of the Bisbee climate. There the toiIer, at office desk or factory machine rises from Q sleepless couch. still wearied and unrested and weariIy drags his or her way to work. tolls through a hot and tiresome day when the humidity causes parspiration to drip from every pore at each effort, while here one rises strong and re freshed after a healthful sleep and in the cool of the morning breathing great drafts of pure mountain air proceeds to work keen. alert and ready to put forth his best efforts dur ing a day that is bright clear and sunshiny. possibly interrupted by a brisk shower in the afternoon. but that stimulates and invigorates and does not tax and debilitate.
 Many are thc resorts that have not the climatic advantages that has Hisbee and yet the time. has not come when Bisbee is ready to utilize as it's own those advantages. There are
