Following the most remarkable

caused the police, they say, TO
arrest more juveniles in the past
week than in any other six month

unable to get any trace OF him.
Worried until her nerves were
ready to give way, she asked that
Tacoma detectives be placed on
the case.
Mrs. Jacobson, 1908 South +

old grandson had run away for
some unknown cause, and could
not be found.
Two boys, Cecil and Earl Nc

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. a.
Three-cent electric lights! That's
what the Cleveland municipal
electric light plant is giving
Clevelanders. But that isn't all.
The plant, though only a year
old, is earning $1,000 a month
over and above all operation. in
terest and sinking fund charges.
1t furnishes residence service at
three cents a kilowatt, and power
service from three cents down.
A year ago the plant was start
ed with 800 customers. Today
1t has 1000 customers and more
coming in right along.
Experts have figured that when
every family in Cleveland uses
municipal light, there will be q
profit OF at least $4,000 made
every month. Or the profit may
be used to cut the price below
three cents.
The man who is largely respon-
sible for the success of the muny
light here is Frederick w. Bal

Other cuts in Mills department
reduce the cost of fire protection
from $175,185 to $163,323. Part
OF. this will come from Mills de-

Commissioner Atkins today is

the proposed new ordinance Of
Commissioner Drake and Light
Superintendent Collins, which
proposes a new schedule Of resi-
denoe rates.
In the new ordinance, It is
proposed to fix different rates
for houses of 500 feet floor
space, 1000 feet floor-space,
1900 feet floor-space, etc. The
larger houses then would have
to pay a heavier rate than the
smaller ones.
For instance, this saIne amount

least eighty per cent Of the unculti-
waited portion produces the best of
grazing FOR cattle, sheep, horses and
mules.
For the average farm produce here
there is a limited market and ordi-
nary crops are hard to dispose of,
but crops marketed on the hoof are
always in domand, can be changed
into coin in any market and are the
sort that bring the cost of production
low and the profits high. 1t has been
demonstrated, times without number,
when our farmers engage in diversi-
fled stock raising and utilize then
produce in connection with their graz
ing land, they are on the certain road
TO prosperity.
The curtailment of the range has
not brought the hardships upon our
stock growers that it has in nearly
every part of the country. Today
there are quite as many cattle in the
San Juan basin as at any time in its
history, but the herds arc divided into
smaller numbers, among more own
ers, are given better care and are
bringing better returns than ever be-
fore Never, since the white man set
tied here, were there as many sheep
as at the present time.
AS nearly as can be summed up
the live stock industry in this terri
tory is represented by the following
figures;
