the position taken by Governor Gunter,
first, in proclaiming the constitutional
amendment and thereby retaining in
employment those who had been recog-

and, second, in refusing to recognize
one of the employees so classified, was
contradictory in itself and let down the
bars for general attack against the

Hearing Held by Public UtiIi-
ties Commission on Appi.
cation Of G. |. &W. Co.
DECISION IS AWAITED

Last Friday hearing before ths
Public Utilities commission was held in
the district court room for the purpose
of determining the justice of the appli-
cation of the Glenwood Light & Water
company for advancing their rates. It
was conducted by A. P. Anderson of
the commission, for the purpose of tax
ing testimony as to the valuation of
the plant and any other facts having
bearing on the reasonableness of the
proposed rate schedules.
The Glenwood Light & Water COM
pany was represented by 1. E. Thayer
of the Denver law firm of Hughes &
Dorsey. The city was represented for
mally by City Attorney c. w. Taylor
assisted by Mayor Kirwan and several
of the aldermen. Outside of these
practically no one else was in attend
ance.
Chas. T. Flower, electrical engineer
for the commission, in his report gave
the full details and inventory of all the
property of the plant and the labor that
has been required to build it up to its
present condition. He placed the value
of the investment at $l10,694, but this
amount did not take into consideration
any allowance for going concern value.
Mr.. Flower and Mr.. Anderson both
stated that the going concern value was
determined by the peculiar circum
stances in each particular case.
II. G. Overlook, general manager of
the local company, placed the value of
the plant at $l43,127. The difference
between the appraisals presented by the
commission and the company is ex-
sion made allowance only for those
parts of the old Mutual light plant
which the company had retained in use,
while the company's appraisal included
the entire amount paid for the Mutual
plant. Another case wherein these val
ations differed is that the engineer for

items at the price prevailing during
normal conditions, while the company's
appraisal was based on the value last
May when their inventory was mado,
when prices were considerably higher.
Fred W. Herbert statistician for the
commission, presented a report on the
company's books showing what had
been the income and expenses for
period of ten years past. This report
amounted to summarization of the
company's records, and the company
did not present any evidence question
ing tho accuracy of Mr.. Herbert's re.
port, but Mr.. Overlook stated that his
figures were correct.
1t is impossible to state what the
new rates will be until the commission
has decided what is the actual value
of the plant, but it is probable that
there will be an increase in the Glen
wood rates, although it is doubtful if
the rate which the commission will ap-
prove will be as high as that asked for
by the company. 1t is practically ad-
mitted on all sides, however, that some
increase will be allowed. Until the
commission renders the decision tho
company will continue to bill its Gus
toners at the present rate.

ROTATE TO PREVENT DISEASE
Ailments Increase In Activity When
Same Crops Are Grown Yearly
on the Same Soil.

Practically every farm crop is at
tackled by some disease which increas-
es in activity when the same crops are
grown year after year on the same
soil. Root rot becomes more prevalent
when corn follows corn. Smut in corn
is intensified with continuous culture.
Potatoes are often attacked by several
plant diseases IL they are grown on the
same soil two or more years in success
sion. With proper crop rotations The
diseases do not have the same host
plant for two successive years, which
prevents them from gaining a head
way.

ATTENTION TO SETTING HENS
Nests Must Be Kept Free From Mites
Crude Petroleum Spray May
inJure Eggs.

Great care should be taken to keep
nests occupied by setting hens free
from mites. 1t is hard to work effec-
lively against the mites when many
hens are brooding. Oil in the form of
crude petroleum sprays, used freely
about the house at that time, may soil
the eggs and prevent successful hatch
ing. Infested quarters, therefore,
should be treated thoroughly before
hens are set, so as to start them in
nests which are absolutely clean. Be
meath the straw of the nest layer
of lime and sulphur will tend to pre-
vent mite breeding, and the entire nest
may be busted occasionally with py-
-ethrum. Broken eggs and the straw
soiled by them should be removed
promptly, as they tend to attract mites.
