Machinery Outfit in
Easy Style.

By walloping the Mining Machinery
team at South Side park Sat
|rday by 12-1 score, the Monongah
|lass was able TO maintain their spot
PISS record In the City league. The
Watson building had little trouble in
thinning the Stevenson team by a
10 score. BY defeating the Whole
|HIers after the Mining Machinery had
psf to the Monongah Glass, the Wat
ON building team stepped up into sec
md place.
!, The Monongah Glass got away with
five run lead in the first inning when
hey scored five times on five hits and
our errors. They scored five more
1ins in the fourth. With the excep.
ion OF these two bad innings, the MIN.
ne Machinery played a very credita-
DE game. Kendall was on the mound
or the machinists and struck out nine
,atsmen. G. Long pitched his usual
sood game allowing but four hits.
The second game was featured by
leavy hitting, chiefly by Ashcraft, who
made two three-base hits and a singlel
n four times at bat. The score OF eacn

|MPUTAT|ONS ON
~. GAS CONCERN
HELD As UNTRUE

Recently published articles tending
! to impute the motives and business
methods Of the Imperial Valley Gas
Company, coupled with the allegarlon
that the combination has resulted in
a public revolt in CaleXico with a con-
SeQuent determination to erect a mu
nicipal gas and light plan, have at
tracted a great deal of attention
The result has been to mislead the
reading public of the valley as the
Imperial Valley Gas Company has
been involved in the matter in no way.
Out of fairness to this public utility
corporation it may be said that it does
not operate in the city of CaleXico
and that the published implications
and imputations do not apply to it.
Manager OFT of the company is at 4
loss to understand the reasons dictat
ing this campaign of misrepresenta-
ton. While the people of Calexico,
knowing all the facts, have not been
mislead, Mr.. OFT is anxious that the
great reading public in other parts
of the valley should know the COM
plete facts.
Here are the facts as cleaned from
the official records of the city coun-
ell at CaleXico: :.
A. the regular meeting of the board
OF trustees held on the evening of
Tuesday, April 80, the Calexico trus-
tees gave the people of the city an
opportunity TO vote for CT against a
bond issue fer the establishment of
: gas and electric plant, or either of
them.
The members of the board were
given long talks on both sides of the
question by representatives of the
engineering firm, which proposes to-
build the municipal plant, and the
power company.
TIE trustees decided that the peo-
ple should give an expression in the
natter, so an ordinance was passed
without e dissenting vote, although
some of the members OF the beard
are opposed to municipal ownership.
1t is understood now that a vigor-
Gus campai0n will be waged as the
representatives Of the engineering
tiIn, not the people, declare they Wiz
put on 9 campaion of education. It
5 nightly rror5rarble that -sther in
tercsts will oppose the proposition.
Many prominent men are alreadv
expressing their disapproval of the
proposition on account of opposition
to municipal ownership; political con-
troll of utilities and high tax rates. |
1t is pointed out by them that the
question of paying interest and bonds !
from the receipts and profits of the
plants, is the mere statement of the
promoters, conceded to be reliable
men, but the claim is made that pure
ly disinterested people should make
an estimate on cost, receipts, ex
penses, etc.
This is the expressed sentiment of
a number of Calexico business men.
On the other hand it is claimed that
this is a matter solely for the people
who rav the bills and that 1t is to be
put up to them.
The near future will, undoubtedly,
develop facts and figures on both
sides of the question, which will be
reading and which will
serve to clear up the situation and
permit people to vote more or less
on the proposition.

SEVERE ELECTRIC
STORM PAYS THIS
CITY RECENT VISIT
PUTS MACHINERY IN WHITE
MILL OUT OF COMMISSION
FOR A SHORT TIME

The electric and rain storm which
visited this city and vicinity Thursday
was about as severe as any which we
have had in recent years and for a
time the lightning flashed and crack
ed around in close proximity SO that
life was mighty uncertain and alto
gether too unpleasant for the timid
natured person whose fear of light
ming cause them to seek places of sup
posed safety on chairs, in bed, or other
places, wherever fancy, like the os-
trich burying his head, led them to be-
lieve that lightning would not reach
them.
A bolt of electricity struck the flag
pole on the Richardson mill and re-
duced it to splinters. Several other
poles and trees in various parts of
the city were struck but no damage
was done to any property. A heavy
bolt entered one of the transformers
in the power plant in the White mill
and burned it out, with the result that
the mill was shut down for the bal
ance of the forenoon. 1t started up
again after noon as the damage had
been quickly repaired.
A heavy down pour of rain accom-
panied the electricity and did world
of good to crops. The shower was To-
cal however and a few miles south of
this city they are still suffering for
rain, never having received drop of
the ccpious rainfall which we got here

CHAPTER !.

Introduces the Secretary Of the Treas-
ury Of His Britannia Majesty's Gov
ernment at Nassau, New Provi-
dence, Bahama Islands.
During the summer Of 1908 i was
paying what must have seemed like an
interminable visit to my old friend
John Saunders, who at that time filled
with becoming dignity the high-sound-
ing Office Of secretary of the treasury
Of his majesty's government, In the
quaint little town of Nassau, In the
island of New Providence, one of
those Bahama islands that lie half
lost to the world to the southeast of
the Caribbean sea and form some
what neglected portion Of the British
West Indies.
Time was when they had sounding
name for themselves in the world (;
when the now sleepy little harbor
gave shelter to rousing freebooters
and tarry pirates, tearing in there un-
der full sail with their loot from the
Spanish Main.
But those heroic days are gone, and
