SPRINGFIELD. H., Jan. 27.-To

commission has found it necessary to

PUBLIC OPINION


Wants City to Own Telephone System
To the Editor Of The Gate City:
l am in favor OF the city owning
its own telephone slstem; that the
people may own and control It; it
can be done without so much dissatis
faction and friction as at present.
The legislature of the state has pro
vided that cities may own It's own gas.
water and light plants but has been
very careful not to provide for the
construction OF telephone system
and to my mind very wrong that the
peopl. cannot have legislation to con-
struct as important and necessary
public utility as the telephone. but
do not think the legislature will pro-
vide the ownership of such a system
unless the people demand 1t in such
tone to make their servants tremble
and enact 1t by force OF our votes.
This system can be adopted by the
vote of the people to amend the pres
ent charter by and under the provi-
sions OF section 1897 Of the code of
1897. giving the power to special
charter cities, by petition OF one
fourth OF the electors as shown by
the votes at the next preceding city
election. to the governing body there
of asking that the question of the
amendment of such special charter
be submitted to the electors of such
city, such governing body shall imme-
diately propose sections of ameni-
ment and submit same to the first
ensuing city election. Now let us pro
pose the proposition that the city of
Keokuk shall have the power and
authority to construct and build
telephone system, be submitte0 to the
city election in March, 1914.

Owing TO the low stage of the Mis-
sissippi river and lack of confidence
in purity of the water a few weeks
ago, the Quincy Board of education
ordered the water turned off from
the public schools and advised the
students to bring the means OF
quenching thirst from their homes.
A dispatch under a Quincy date line
thus tells what followed:
The change was attended with re-
suits not anticipated, as in one Of
the schools thu teacher was at a los
to discover what was the matter
with one Of the boys. The mystery
was solved when the teacher learned
the boy took a drink from a school
mates bottle An examination of the
bottle showed it contained wine. and
a further examination of the boys
bottles disclosed grape Juice, hard
cider and other similar drinks.

Damages Of 5000 for Beating Award

New York.-That Mrs. David Hunter

Maloney, a former chambermaid at
Brooklawn Manor, the country estate
of Mrs. McAlpin at Morris Plains, N.
j., for assault, was disclosed in the

tanned judgment in the city court last
November for 5000 damages, but so
skilfully did the lawyers guard the
case that the details did not become
public until recently. Mrs. McAlpin
has appealed to the appellate term of
the Supreme court for a reversal of
the judy's verdict, considering it a
stain upon her good name. Miss Ma
loney alleged that on or about Sep

LAND CONVICT AFTER 8 YEARS
Rather Pleased Than Otherwise to
Return to Joliet, Where He
"knows All the Boys"

Portland, Ore.-For almost eight
years John Sullivan, parole violator
from the Joliet state prison, Ill, has
wandered from city to city as a
vagrant, serving short terms in many
jails.
He has been arrested here and
identified by his photograph by Detec-
tive Pat Moloney. Illinois authorities
have been hunting him since May %,
1906.
Moloney and Detective Swennes
came upon Sullivan at Third and
Stark streets and took him into Gus
tody as a vagrant. At headquarters
Moloney identified him.
I'D just as soon go back" said Sui
livan. I've been in every Jail in the
United States, l guess, and l might as
well take up my permanent abode at
Joliet, where / know most of the
boys"
Sullivan was sent to prison for an
indefinite term from Chicago on Feb
ruary 26, 1908, for burglary, and in
1906 he was paroled. On his first op-
portunity he disappeared. The Joliet
authorities were notified and an agent
will be sent for him.

WESTERN IRRIGATION
California Citrus Growers Adopt
Modern Pipe System.
Consists of Pressure Box and a Series
of Cement Stations, One Of Which
10 Located at Head Of Each
Row Of Trees.

New York.-The citrus growers of
California have adopted a modern irri-
eating system which. once installed,
avoids the yearly ditch digging which,
with repeated hoeings to keep down
rank weed growthe, was the bugbear
Of the old irrigation ditch. The sys-
tenn consists Of a pressure box and a
series of cement stations, one Of which
Is located at the head Of each row of
trees. The pressure box is used to
measure the water with which the,
orchard Is irrigated. 1t is a cement
box three and one-half feet long and
thirty inches wide, rising over four
feet from the ground, and reaching
down to the water main, some three
and one-half feet below the surface. In
side the box there is a partition which
Is pierced by a hole one foot square.
When the pressure box is full, water
Is passing through this opening at a
constant rate so that the rancher or
orchardist knows exactly how many
hour-feet of water. he has used during
a certain irrigating period.
From the pressure box cement pipes,
eight inches in diameter, conduct the
water to the stations. which are Is
inches across. and equipped with a
patent shut-off by which the flow of
water from the main may be closed at
any time. Thus the old basin system
gives way to an underground system,
which puts the water just where the
feeders of the tree can reach it best,
and keeps the water away from the
surface. where it produced rank
