GAS 70 COST MORE

The big mass of gas consumers can
prepare to unbuckle a little more as
they pay their monthly gas bills The
rate for the first 10000 cubic feet
and that means for most of us, has
been raised by authority of the state
railroad commission from $3.50 to
Sl.70. The new rates go into effect
at once. The company asked for an
increase of 80 cents, probably on the
theory of asking for about twice what
one can hope to get. 1t was necessary
to place a value on the property but a
new appraisal was not made The val
uation fixed in 1912 was taken as a
basis. This was $193,059 with depre-
citation deducted. The present cost of
reproduction is of course very much
greater than in 1912. With this addi-
ton, the cost of extensions, the cost
of reproduction is fixed at $329,797
With depreciation deducted the value
for rate making purposes is near
$275,00O.
The net revenue of the plant for the
last six months of 1919 was S9,7l6.l7
The company showed vast increases in
the cost of everything going into the
cost of producing gas. During this
last half of 1919 the earnings were
S3,475.71 less than an adequate re-
turn upon the value of the property
and this discrepancy would be greater
now because of increased expense this
year The new schedule of rates is as
follows, the figures being net:
First 100000 cubic feet per month,
$1.70 per thousand
Next 10000 cubic feet per month,
SLIGO per thousand.
Next 10000 cubic feet per month,
$3.50 per thousand.
Next 100000 cubic feet per month,
$1.40 per thousand.
All over 100000 cubic feet per
month, Sl.30 per thousand.
Minimum bill, 75 cents.

PEA CANNING SEASON HERE

ManitowOc's great summer industry,
pea packing, has been in full blast for
over a week 1t has been fine sea-
son for peas The cool weather per-
mitted the peas to mature slowly and
prevented pea parasites from develop
ing. In consequence the crop is not
only plentiful but the quality is better
than for years. The pea canning fur
nishes employment to many people
during the summer months. 1t opens
just at the right time for many stu
dents.
The string bean season comes later
in the year and requires many field
piekers, whom machinery dispensed
with years ago in the pea harvesting.

OBITUARY

! The many friends OF Agnes. Mulhoi :
land, many of whom did not know that
she was i'll, were shocked to learn that
she had passed away at Holy Family
hospital Sunday She had been i'll
only short time and was required to
undergo an operation which was not
thought to be very dangerous. She
failed to rally and passed away at 8
a. m. Sunday.
Miss Mulholland was born in this
city and resided here during her life.
She graduated from the St. Boniface
parish school, the North Side High
school and st. Clara'S college at Sin
snawa Mound, Wisconsin. For several
years she has been in the chemical de-
partment of the Cereal Products com
pany and became fascinated with com
mercial chemistry for which it was
evident she had a decided bent. She
had been taking a course in this line
at the University of Wisconsin and
career in this work, which she had
come to like, spread before her when
the hand of death wrote "fnis' to her
plans.
She is survived by her father, Henry
Mulholland, and a sister, Marie, with
both of whom she made her home.
There are also a number of near col
lateral kindred of the MulhoIand and
Richard O'Connor families.
The funeral was held Wednesday
from the home at 1914 ST. Clair street
with mass at the Sacred Heart church
at 9 O'Clock. Interment was in Cal
vary cemetery.
The death of this young woman
coming almost without warning sent a
pang of regret to many heart. OF
few could it be so truthfully said that
she had no enemies Her "Iife was
gentle" But it was more than that.
A sunny disposition, a wholesome
frankneSs, a pure soul all combined
with ambition and methodical indus
try made a useful, essential life which
is now cut off just when fields of
greater usefulness were opening. Her
family, her social circle and her
church, where she worked with a live
ly faith, will sadly miss the presence
of sweet, modest girl who always
generously gave but never asked.

OLD TIMERS VISIT CITY

win Sharpe of Portland, Ore, and
his brother, Thomas Sharpe of Detroit,
were in the city over Sunday. They
were Mantowoc boys long ago. Mr.,
Will Sharpe has not been in the city
for over forty years and he spent a
few days looking up the remaining old
landmarks and old friends. He had a
visit with Mr. IIoral Nelson, who
worked with him on this paper fifty
years ago The two brothers received
information that the big homecoming
would be on July 4th and were dis
appointed to learn that it had been
postponed to August
Mr. viii Sharpe was for many years
chief engineer of the Portland water
works, now retired, and Mr.. Thomas
Sharpe is engaged in contracting at
Detroit.

FIFTY-fIVE BARS HANG ON

A year ago before prohibition be-
came a reality there were seventy-two
saloon licenses in the city. After year
of bone dry conditions and after the
federal supreme court seems to have
killed the last hope of the vets, hav-
ing even held that the states right to
concurrent jurisdiction" to enforce
the Eighteenth amendment, as ex-
pressed in the amendment itself, is
powerless to bring back even the 2.5
per cent malt beverage of the state
Muehlberger act the saloonkeepers to
the number of ffty-fye still want to
continue in business. Whether they
hope that some way will develop to
permit the lawful sale of 2.5 per cent
beer again or whether it pays to keep
open for the sale of cigars, ice-cream
cones and orange crush they do not
say.
1t is not likely that any of them are
foolish enough to think that the sur
repttous sale of spirits is going to
be tolerated. Uncle Sans Nolstead
act has teeth IN it and apparently will
be enforced. 1t isn't as if it were a
state law like the old state Sunday
closing law depending for convictions
on local iuries. Whatever the purpose
ifty-Gve bars pay $50 each to remain
open this year and dispense a various
assortment of new soft drinks all with
seductive names.

FISH TOO SMALL

b. c. Jarret, wholesale fish dealer
at Two Rivers had lot of lake trout
at the Chicago and Northwestern sta
tion consigned to ST. Louis, Mo. Con-
seryation Warden John Egan looked
them over, applied the trusty foot rule
to some samples of the fish, called on
Mr.. Jarret and escorted him before
Judge Schmidt The fish had not at
tanned the maturity or proportions
which the law requires. The fisherman
pleaded guilty and begged for leni-
cncy The court told him he was
amcnablc to total fines of $4,000 and
two years in confinement lie got off
with a payment of S3O355 and will
probably use the foot rule himself
hereafter.

THE SANE FOURTH

A person who had been out Of the
country since before the war would
not recognize the Fourth of July. The
sale of everything that gladdened the
heart of the small boy years ago is
now forbidden. There is no incentive
for him to arise at dawn. There are
no cannons to fire, no giant crackers
to set of. The only thing to give a
scmblHnce to the glorious old day is
an innocuous, sputtering thing called
a "sparklcr" that an urchin of ten
would have laughed to scOrn not long
ago. Not only are all the instruments
of explosion missing but likewise is
there a dcarth of blinded eyes, pow
der spceklcd faces and missing fingers.
So, perhaps, the change to sanity JUS
tilcs itself But there was doubtless
many a sigh for the passing Of the old
forms of celebration by those who
were glad it was gone.
Many local people were away on
motor trips ON Sunday the ith, and
on Monday the 9Th. The town was
quiet The only public celebrations
were two bah games where Manitowoc
and Two Rivers played at their seem
ingly endless series. 1t may be eco
nomical to have these two teams play
ing each other all the time but it is
getting monotonous.

HOME COMING

Five thousand copies Of the Home
coming invitation have been sent out
by City Clerk Zander, as secretary OF
the Homecoming committee the past
week, and will be followed later by
another letter of personal appeal to
the old time residents to come home
and join in the big doings Aug, "a to
continue for five days. Following is
Secretary Zander's letter:
Greetings: On Aug, "a, 20, 2G, 27
and 2S, the City of Manitowoc will
celebrate its Semi-Centennial with a
Homecoming, that finest of American
institutions. All former residents are
urgently invited to come back to the
Old Home Town and help us pass the
Fiftieth Milestone.
You will find many progressive
changes in our appearance. The river
is still flowing, but you'll have to go
towards the Rapids to find swimmin'
hole, And the peninsula swamp that's
transformed into the largest and best
shipyard ON the lakes. Down town
there is no more-clay and grass in the
streets, but macadam, brick and as
phalt The Northwestern HILL" where
you used to hunt pigeons, is built up
by sons of Poland and their descend
ants. Gerpheidc's Hill, where you
trippcd the light fantastic, is occupied
by an up-to-date hospital. RoeG's
Hill, where you coaslcd in the winter
is being made ready for a high school
ste. But Piety Hill, where you attend
ed Sunday School, is still as pious as
ever.
OF course you will miss some
things. The Schooners are vanishing
ON sea and ON land, But we boast
triple the size of the Corona, and the
pureSt w9ter in the land. And the pco-
pie are just the same; friendly and
good natured, active and thrifty. You
can josh Jim because he is still a
bachelor, and you can romp with BilPs
grandchildren to your hearts content
And you can introduce your wife to
the sweetheart Of your youth or if
you deem it more prudent, you can
simply point her out.
BE sure to come, for these days
spent among the scenes Of your child
hood will make you young again and
send you back to your present home
with that grand and glorious feeling
1t will be at the time of the County
Fair, and the folks from all the coun-
try towns will be here to help us ex-
tend the glad hand. From the time
you arrive until you depart, it will be
once gladstone day of feasting and of
frolic. For further information and
room reservation write to
Cordially yours,
A. II. LANDER,
Secretary of Executive Com.

BOARD OF REVIEW MEETS

The board of review convened Tues
day and will be in session ten days.
This is the time fixed by law to make
kicks on the amount your property is
assessed. 1t is too late next winter
when you come to pay your taxes. 1t
does no good then to storm at the
treasurer who had nothing to do with
fixing your assessment or making the
tax levy. Every citizen has the priv
ilege to inspect the assessment roll
and to take the stand and testify un-
der oath as to the value of his prop
erty, although it will do him mighty
little good if results in former years
are any criterion.
There is an increase of about 81
100000 in the cty's assessed valuation
and while lot of this can be ac-
counted for in new buildings there has
been considerable boosting of old
properties and there may be some old
fashioned kicks The board cannot al
ter the assessors figures except upon
testimony.
The Cereal Products company APP
peared with a lawyer and expert wit
ness Wednesday in an effort to show
that the assessment of Sl,254,O00 fixed
by the assessor is grossly excessive
since prohibition has made the plant
almost useless, and unstable for any
considerable fraction of that sum.

BASE BALL

The local club slipped ahead anoth-
er game in the Lake Shore league race
when they defeated the Two Rivers
aggregation here Sunday afternoon by
a score of 6 to 3.
The slogan that has been started in
the Lake Shore league, BEAT Wauke-
sha," was realized on Sunday, when
Billy Liebl and his gang of Chairmak-
ers from Sheboygan found Stock for
six hits, for a total of five runs, and
held the Spring city club down with
out a run, winning the contest, 8 to 0.
The Chairmakers started early and
put over four runs in the second and
third inning, and added another to the
list in the sixth.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met in regular session
Tuesday evening, Monday being a
legal holiday.
There was committee report fav-
orable to dividing the Third ward into
two voting precincts, and this brought
to life the prposal for new wards. The
new idea seems to he the creation of
one,two or three new wards as the
original idea of doubling the present
seven wards is not possible as there is
not the population that the state law
requires. The matter will come up
again.
With several aldermen opposing the
council voted to sell gravel from the
municipal pit to the contractor max
ing the new state highway from the
Shoto road to the lake shore road. The
socialist group divided on the PROPOSE
ton.
The council created new ornamental

Secret Of His SUCCESS.

'He Is a splendid workman. One
secret OF 1t, outside of his skill, Is the
good care he gives his tools. He
keeps every one In the best condition,
ready for instant use. Another secret
is the care he takes of his best tools
brain, nerves and muscles. He never
dulls them with liquor or tobacco,
foolish or harmful pleasures, dissIpa-
tlon or carelessness. He gets the best
service out Of them and the tools
which perform their bidding. .'--Ex-

TEAM STANDINGS.

KellnersvilIe with Stoney McGlynn
Jr. pitching, beat the fast Van RS of
Green Bay at Kellnersyille Sunday, s
to 4, and then iourneyed to Chiffon
and were defeated Monday, II to 9.
In the Sunday game McGlynn held
the Green Bay crowd to nine hits and
had eight Strikeouts, not bad for a
high school lad against fast semi
pro team. The Kellnersyille boys
thought they should have won Mon
days game but took the gafT without
wincing as they are not "squealcrs."

The Fourth in this city passed off
very quietly and pleasantly and every
body seemed bent on celebrating in
some way, and everybody did so, by
an excursion, a picnic, or parade, as
best suited A 9 O'Clock Il. IN. a pro-
crssion was formed at Turner hall,
and marched in the following order:
Gentlemen ON horseback; band; Ger
man Rife company; Fire department;
Turner's; public schools; citizens in
carriages; citizens on foot.
The line of march was taken up at
about $50 o'clock, when the several
bodies under command of Marshal
Murphy and assistants, came down
Eighth street, and after passing along
other prominent thoroughfares, pro-
ceeded to the North Side park At
the park the inevitable Fourth of
July exercises were had. The band
played several national airs, when
Mayor johnson made few introduc-
tory and well timed remarks. The
Declaration of Independence was read
in English by Mr.. &. A. Forrest and
in German by Mr.. Otto Troemel. Mr.,
b. r. Anderson then delivered quite a
lengthy address, which was listened to
by a large number of people. The
exercises over, the bodies formed into
line in the same order. as before and
marched back to the Turner hall,
where the organization was disbanded
Two or three private picnicS took
place in the afternoon in the groves
north and west Of the city, which
were numerously attended and happily
enjoyed
