Half the Value Set.
The value of the entire plant as
worked out by the city's experts is
$3,3sl 900, only little more than
half the value set by the company.
The city reached its figures on the
normal theory" of valuation, that
is by taking the cost of all the ma
terial in the plant at an average
for a l0-year period and then sub
tracing small sum for deprecia-
ton.

If the city doesn't like the price
it will simply decline to buy. If
the gas company doesn't like the
price it will carry the case to the
higher courts.

Posto6ce Begins
Filling Orders for
Foodstufs by Mail

Distribution of the army surplus
foodstuffs ordered through the post
office began yesterday after more
than two weeks delay, attributed to
shortage of the necessary stocks.

Woodland, stated that residents of
the city who had ordered food
through the postoffice will probably
receive it today. AS the postoffice
requisition has not been completely

No Trace Of Hawker
and Crieve.

Nothing has been heard from Har.
/ ry G. Hawker or Lieutenant-Com.
mander Mackenzie Grieve since they
left Newfoundland at SIS o'clock
Greenwich time (1:55 New York
time) Sunday morning, and it is
feared that they have been lost in the
Atlantic Ocean. There were num-
Der of runors yesterday. the most
persisten being that these two daring
aviators fell into the Atlantic 40
miles off the Irish coast; however,
there is no confirmation whatever
of any of these reports. In fact the
British Government announced to
the House of Commons last night
that tine whereabouts of the aviators
are unknown Scores of British de-
stroyers and private yachts are now
combing the seas off the Irish coast
for the missing men. They were
equipped with specially prepared
{ife-preservcrs and the plane also
carried a small fifeboat or raft fast
ened to the upper side of the rear
end of the fusefage in such manner
as to be quickly detachable; and, un-
less the plane collapsed and fell into
the sea out Of control, it is probable
that they are now adrift on the sea
and will soon be picked up. How
ever, regardless Of the outcome, it
is difficult to understand why the
British Government failed to take
precautions for the protection of
these men similar to those provided
by this Government for the protec-
ton of our NC filters. Even though
the flight was not official, as was
that of the Americans, still the event
was an English affair; there were
plenty Of naval vessel available; and
the neglect seems inexcusable.

With the usual precision, the or
ganization of the two Houses of
Congress was carried through yester-
day. Senator Albert Cummins, of
Iowa, was elected by. the Republi-
dams as President Protempore. Rep
.resentative Fred H. Gillette, of
Massachusetts,, Was also elected. ac-
cording to- prearrangement, as the
thirty-seventh Speaker of the House
of Representatives. The House. by
unanimous action, refused to allow
Victor Berger, the Socialist member
from Wisconsin, to take the oath of
office and selected a committee to
inquire into his right to admission.
In responding to the demonstra-
ton incident to his election, Mr.. Gill
lette said, in part:
There are facing this Congress
problems SO grave and so difficult as
to demand our most Industrious ap-
plication and combined wisdom. Up
on our success in solving them hangs
the immediate prosperity of the ma
tion.
They are so momentous that they
