Chris Jensen who has been owner
of the Redwood Falls Creamery for
the past several months, has disposed
Of his property and will give posses
sion October 16. The new owners are
Ed. Henry of Owatonna and E. Fl.
Quenvold of Crookston. The latter
will have actual charge Of the cream
cry and will bring his family here.
Mr.. Jensen has not yet announced
what his future plans are.
The Gazette was guilty of a max
ing mistake last week, in credit
ing the prize pig raised by Russell
Payne of Belview to Lucian Payne
Since Lucian Payne is grown to years
Of manhood he would hardly be per-
mitted to enter a pig in the boys
contest and we very much doubt IL
he could raise as good a pig as his
nephew anyway-there is a trick
about it that the Redwood County
boys seem to get better than their
elders do. The pig is the product of
RussePs skill and care and he is en-
titled to any publicity or credit there
from.

Just before the Gazette goes to
press we have learned indirectly that
Glenn Lukens has been called to Wash
ington to take active part in the
training of crippled soldiers in the
trades, and will leave as soon as ne
can be released from his duties as
manual training instructor in the loc-i
al high school. Mr.. Lukens made ap-s
plication for the work several weeks
ago and the call is very welcome
one. His work is entirely with re-
turned soldiers, either those wounded
suffering from shell shock or other
wise unfit for the service, and he will
be called upon to help them regain
their former interest in living as well

REFUSES SURGICAL
OPERATION; GIVEN
2-YEAR SENTENCE

CAMP MEADE, Nd, March 15.-
Found guilty OF refusing to submit to
a surgical operation, Private John
Lyons, of the auxiliary remount depot.
No. 304. has been sentenced to two
years at hard labor at the United
states disciplinary barracks. at Fort
Jay. N Y. Lyons has a hernia and
the physicians declared that he could
not properly perform his military
duties without ne operation. After
he refused to consent to IL q special
board of medical officers was called
in and they agreed that the operation
should be performed.
When this opinion was presented to
Lyons he still refused to give his ap-
proval. This refusal in itself was in
violation OF the ninety-sixth article OF
war. He was warned as to the court
martial proceedings that would be
Instituted II he maintained that at
titude, and he would not change his
attitude. At his trial he pleaded not
guilty to the charge OF violating an
article of war. but was found guilty
and the sentence was approved.
Cases of this kind are very rare.
Hundreds of men have been operated
on since arrival In camp and many
have had better health than ever be-
fore. Men who have as civilians been
content to go without a necessary
operation at the risk of their health
have promptly agreed to be operated
on when they were told that It was
necessary to enable them to perform
their military duties. A mans refusal
Is taken in some cases as clear evil
dence that he hopes thereby to es-
cape active service, hoping to fall IN
for some other line Of duty. All who
refuse will be court-martialed.
The reason for Lyons refusal was
that he had undergone one operation
and his parents advised against g sec

per cent on the valuation OF $40, SOC, 900
fixed upon its property by the COM
mission. From this return must be
paid the interest upon bonds, borrow
ed money and stock, and will pre-
sumably yield in the neighborhood Of
4 6-1O per cent on the company's
stock.
Based On Costs.
The decision is based upon the proc
able cost of gas oil and other material
during the coming year. II the prices
of material and labor continue to go
up the company will not obtain the
returns 1t or the commission expects.
The gas company has entered into
an important agreement not to con-
test the decision in the courts, which
are already full of utility contests.
Company Gives Bond.
Another important feature OF the
agreement is that the company Is to
give bond to return to consumers the
difference between IS and 80 cents in
the event that the courts should,
through any proceeding, hold that the
utilities commission did not have the
/ power to change the rate made by
Congress.
| This question is not now before
/ the courts but might be injected in
some manner, and It was considered
| best to safeguard the public. The
| Utilities Commission thinks II un-
questionably had authority to change
the Congressional rate. but by re-
quiring a bond is playing safe.
Wanted Higher Rate.
Gas company officials expressed re-
gret that the rate was not made
higher, but having pledged them
selves to abide by the decision will
do so and go forward, they stated
today, in an endeavor to make all
preparations to serve the public ef-
ficiently in the future. President
Reside expressed the belief that
the company has the confidence OF
the public and this confidence will
not, he declared, be abused.
The commission had no power to
change the rate of 40 cents per thou
sand fixed by Congress to the Gov
ernment. This rate will have to re-
main until Congress wishes to make
a change.
Effective March 20.
The new rate will go into effect
March 20, for gas consumed from that
date on. Gas company employees
usually take the reading of meters
throughout the city before or around
that date for the preceding month,
bills being rendered the first of the
month Rfterward.

passed the 75-cent rate II overlooke ed
the Georgetown company, which is
owned by the Washington Gas Light
Company, anu they have been paying
SIS cents for a long time. They will
now pay 90 cents, the same as AL
other consumers.
The decision OF the commission Will
treat them as enc company and apply
the new rate throughout the District.
| The decision will not bar the gas
company from again making appIiCa-
ton for an increase IL labor and ma
terials advance to an extent It deems
| necessary; neither does 1t bar the
Utilities Commission from reducing
the price of gas should there be a
reduction in prices paid by the COM
psny.
Agreement Of Company.
Before the commission would take
up the question OF a rate it obtained
from the gas company an agreement
preventing an appeal in the courts
and protecting the public should the
courts hold that the commission was
not legally empowered to change the
rate of Congress. The agreement
signed by President Reeside Of the
company is as follows:
"In the matter of its application
for an increase in the price to be
charged for gas. in consequence OF
the conditions shown by the evidence
taken under it, and In order to obvi-
ate any obstacle. which il has been
suggested may exist by reason Of
the pending appeal from the order
fixing the valuation OF Its property,
the Washington Gas Light Company
states its Willingness to accept the
valuation Is the basis for such rate
as the commission may fix under the
cOmpany's pending application, to be
binding upon II as correct valuation
without prejudice TO and notwith-
standing the appeal, for such period
of time as the rate which the COM
mission shall fix under the said ap-
plication shall continue
The gas company further agrees
that II IL shall appear from the final
dcct5ion in the valuation appeal case
now pending in the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia, or other
wise. that the existing rate which II
IL permitted to charge to consumers
OF gas could or should not legally
have been Increased the company
Will refund to the consumers any
difference between the existing rate
and the increased rate which the
commission shall find TO be proper"
New Policy In Returns.
The commission holds closely to
the view that the Gas company must
bear part OF the war burdens along
with the public. and for that reason f.
conceding an increase in the rate suf-
hcient 10 bring in return on the
present valuation OF only q per cent as
against the usually accepted policy Of
public service commissions OF allow
ing an per cent return. The inn.
portance Of this Is that the policy
will be followed in future applications
OF public utilities for increase of
rates. That would include the tele-
phone application, and later the street
railways.

SHIPPING ORE.

Monroe Harman has not said any
thing about what he has been doing at
the Ruby mine for the past few weeks,
but all the same he has been doing
some ore shipping to the smelter. Sew
eral cars of ore have been shipped
from the mine. The result is informa-
ton that Is not given out but from the
facts that the shipments continue it is
to be inferred that Mr.. Harman is sat
isfied with the results. The fact is, the
Ruby, considering the extent of the ore
shoots and the quantity of ore blocked
out in the underground workings,
should be one of the most actively
worked mines in the northwest, espec
tally so considering the ruling value of
the silver-lead ore that the Rnby pro-
duces. One draw back Is that the ore
in the mine is of low grade, and
much of the value is wasted in freight
charges. What is needed at the Ruby
to make 1t real producing mine is
treatment plant Immediately upon the
ground. The mine is within few hun
dred feet of the railroad, and the ore
can be extracted and handled at
minimum cost. AS the chances are all
in favor of silver and lead remaining
at high price for some years to come
the stockholders should make an eff
fort to reap some return from the
large amount expended in past years
in development, and this can be done
by making provisions for concentrat-
ing the ore.
