to improper accounting Of the items
that actually made up the cost of sup
plying water to the consumer.
An order to supply the marked de-
hclency in management, all utilities
were put on exactly the same basis in
their relation to the state. Uniform
systems Of accounting were establish
ed and reports required to be made to
the railroad commission at regular in
tervals.
In addition to this, regulation of
operation and of rates has been made
d part Of the duties of the commission
with such justice to all concerned
that little or no complaint has eVer
been found with their decisions.
In dealing with the utility, one of
the first principles adopted is that it
shall be self sustaining and shall not
depend on charity for it's mainten-
ance. A second principle is tina in
making the rates. each consumer
shall pay for what he receives.
"A third principle is that there shall
be no free consumers. Fourth, the city
corporate is considered as a pay con-
sumner and must contribute toward
the maintenance of the plant in pro-
portion to the amount of water it uses
and the service it gets.

Big Majority.

Judge N, Davis, president of the city
commission Of Minot. is a business Wis
itor in the city. In the recent recall
election at Minot. in which the social
lists endeavored to unseat Judge Davis
n to elect Arthur LeSueur to the
place, the voters returned a decisive
victory for Mr.. Davis, and he won out
by a majority of more than 400 votes.

I The sentiment In congress at this
time is in favor of the construction

To Issue Bonds.
The bill authorizes the secretary of
the treasury to issue 3 per cent gov
eminent bonds to run thirty years,
and they are redeemable after ten
years, to cover the cost Of construc-
ton, The net receipts OF ths railway
and so per cent of the proceeds of the
sale of public lands In Alaska is ap-
propriated to redeem these bonds.
With the construction of the rail-
road II will, of course, be necessary
to open the lands up to settlement
and a rush will probably be made to
make entry on the lands which are
admitted to be very valuable. 1t will
probably be more than ten years
however, before the railroad will be-
come self-supporting owing to the
sparsely settled condition of the coun-
try and the absence of any permanent
industries there.
The committee on territories has
been holding hearings for several
months with a view to learning the
sentiment of the people in Alaska as
to the best methods of developing
that territory. As a result of these
hearings it has decided to bring forth
bin providing for the construction
of the government owned railway.
The consent of the caucus will be
secured to bring the bill to the house
and recommend its passage. 1t will
be one of the first bills to be taken UP
at the December session and little
di,culty is expected in securing its
passage.
While some delay is likely in the
senate 1t is expected to Pass there
next session as the administration is
believed to be strongly in favor of It.
