of members turned out atfthe regular
meeting at the Knights of Columbus
hall Tuesday evening. 1t was the
first gathering of the new year and
after the conclusion of the secret work
the boys had luncheon and smoker.

soon. This IS one of the social events
awaited with much interest in Morris
and surrounding towns. Preparations

be made soon. A lecture to be given

from the state university will talk on
the resources of the state, will be
given under the auspices of the local

While the lodge is not very old in
Morris is one of the popular ones and
its membership is growing rapidly.

present hall, the lodge will move to
the basement in the new parochial
school building as soon the building is
completed.

sistibIe desire to annex other people g
goods entered the Lime Hall between
Friday and Saturday morning and car
ried away mirrors and pennants used

partmant had solemnly resolved to
bring the trains through on time for
1915, and Morris was the first imp0r-
tant point for this particular train and
its crew. The matter of wind or snow
or temperatures was therefore not
permitted to interfere with the time
schedule. 1t Was do or die on the new
years resolution.
Other train crews were not so for
tunate. The very next train was late
and it is doubtful if another has
pulled into Morris on time since. All
of which shows that the Great North
ern's good resolutions are as feeting
as the shadows. 1t is understood the
company will continue to advertise a
time schedule, but there is a supsicion
among travellers that this will be for
the purpose of keeping the public
busy asking foolish questions.
1t appears that over at Browns
Valley the citizens were SO astonished
at seeing a train pull into town on
time they forgot to get their mail.
This actually happened Wednesday OF
last week. The browns Valley Tri-

of H. H. Wells and other prominent
business men in Morris when they
started subscription list some time
ago. Eisentrager was formerly re-
sident here and is we'll known to the
people of Stevens county. He has a
big humanitarian heart and German
blood flows through bis veins.
There were 428 bushels of fine corn
of Mr.. Eisentrager' fields and il
brought $244 at the elevators. ].

Aside from the corn contribution
the banks in Morris have received
about $3.50 from charitably disposed
persons who gave sums ranging from
$50 to $1.OO. making the total from
Morris about $500 so far. Contribu'
tions are coming in at all three banks.

Henry Smith Came First
Farmer Near Morris Holds New
Year City Grain Record

The first load of grain to be re-

new year came to the Davidson elev-
ator early Saturday morning. Henry
Smith, who lives five miles from the
city. has the distinction of being the
first to get grain check in 1915. and
he is perhaps the first man in the
county with this honor since it was
shortly after breakfast that he called
to do business with Mr.. Davidson.
Smith had forty one bushels oil

ceived check in the amount o1

GAS CONGRESS-
ADOPTSIPOLICY
IN VOGUE HERE
Will Advocate Trained Stats to
Take Care of Distress Calls,
and Abolish Plumbers

COmplnlng pleasure with business,
the international Gas Congress at San
Francisco, from which Harry 1.
Strange, manager Of the Honolulu Gas
Company, has recently returned, was
the greatest success in the history OF
American gas-workers' meetings.
It was the first meeting Of this ma.
ture which has ever been held. For.
merly the meetings have been of the
members of Pacific Coast Gas Associa-
ton, or OF the American Gas Institute,
but to the international Congress came
delegates from England, Canada and
Mexico; 500 men In all attended.
Two important things were decided
upon. One was the policy which gas
companies should adopt toward the
public. The other affected the actual
means of manufacturing the gas.
In the first place It was decided that
the policy OF many gas companies of
leaving their work at the meters is de.
cidedlY wrong and that the correct
method was to make slight raise IN
rates and take complete care OF the
gas appliances instead OF leaving the
public to the tender mercies of the in.
diyidual plumber.
( The consumer now should have to
merely pay q very slightly increased
rate and then stop b0thering about
the gas pipes and other appliances In
his house.
Answer Any Distress Calls.
The companies will maintain a
STAFF whose duty 1t is to inspect the
gas fittings In the private homes at
stated intervals and also to answer
any distress calls. By systematiziug
their work they can perform these
services at great reduction Of cost
to the consumer, considered as an
average. eFurn on the gas and light
match. there your duties end will
be the motto OF gas companies from
this time on
1T was refreshing to note that this
po1ey, which we have long put in
practise here in Honolulu, received
the appreciation Of the gas congress, ?.
said Strange. incidentally, might
mention that after talking over meth.
DDS of dealing with the public and
problems Of equipment, the Honolulu
Gas Company stands in the very first
rank with the most up-to-date compan.
les in the world.
Another important matter was the
consideration Of the new machine for
tne manufacture of gas from oil which
has been invented by E. C. Jones,
president or the American Gas Insti-
tute. The machine was explained in
detail before the congress. II will
produce more gas per unit of oil than;
any other method and will give q
slighter amount Of the lamp black by
product Of the gas.
4 have ordered one of these gener-
ators." said Strange, .and when It has
been installed thinE that our local
company win in every respect be mod.
