MeQUIGC ASKS COUNCIL
FOR A GAS FRANCHISE
Has Filed Copy Of Document and the
City is Debating the Proposition
Pro and Con

H. M. McQuigg of the McQuigg
Investment Company, has made for
NAL application for a franchise for
furnishing the City of Liberal with
natural gas, and the petition will be
acted upon at nearly date.
There has been talk of bringing
the gas to Liberal ever since the big
gas well was brought in, year ago
last July, but up to the present time
the matter of rates stood in the way
of granting franchise, and nothing
has been done in this line.
Now Mr.. McQuigg comes with a
new schedule of rates, greatly re-
duced from his former figures, and
asks that action be speedily taken one
way or the other, and the figures
named are as follows:

THE ROTARY CLUB

Notwithstanding that Tuesday
was a good day to stay in the house.
the Club had good attendance at
luncheon. Jim Ault was chairman

After routine reports and read
ing of correspondence, DR.. Ben H.
Day, chairman of the program COM
mittee, announced an address. by DR..

not make an address because he
never done so, but he proceeded
to give a good deal of information

CASH WATER GIVES LAND
FOR NEW MERCY HOSPITAL

Cash M. Waters, one of the original
boosters of Liberal, informs the DEM
ocrat that he has placed at the dispos-
al of the Sisters of Mercy Hospital, a
tract of five acres in the southeast
part of the city as a possible site for
the new hospital the Sisters expect to
erect in Liberal.
The proposed building will cost a.
round $4,000 and it is our informa-
ton that it will be erected if suit
able site is donated. The land offered
by Mr.. Waters should meet their ap-
proval as it is sufficiently distant from
the noise of the city to make an ideal
hospital site.

love with you? Clarence does.

C. E. Duckwall, who is arranging to
open a variety store in the room for

Saturday for his home. Before leav-

their opening date, as the material
for the new front was delaying the
work of arranging the store.
The stock of the Leader which they
purchased has been stored until the
store is ready for the arranging of the
stock.

The above subject to a discount of
10 per cent for prompt payment of
bills.
There is wide difference Of opin-
ion as to the justness of these rates.
but comparison of the rates charged
in other cities would lead one to be-
ieve that they are very fair. At least
the comparison shows the figures
not out of line to any great extent.
The following figures show the

HIGH SCHOOL TO GIVE
PLAY TUESDAY NIGHT

The high school pupils will present
their play at the, Tucker next Tues
day evening, March 7th. The title
of this years play leads one to ex-
pect that it is going\I, be good, as
all recognise in Clarence, the lat
est of Booth Tarkington,s works. 1t
is said that this play has met with
great success in the eastern cities in
which it has been shown, and it will
no doubt draw a large crowd when
it is presented at the Tucker by our
school
The cast is well picked for the
parts, and they are well trained, so
it is hoped that large number will
greet them at the raise of the curtain.

Many of these towns have SER
vice charge in addition to the charge
of the gas consumed.
City Clerk L. L. Holland, Secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, W. B.
King, M. W. Pysher of the Liberal
Light, Ice & Power Company, and
the editor of the Democrat visited
Amarillo last week for the purpose of
INVESTIGATING the gas situation inso-
far as it might apply to the situation
here.
We found that at Amarillo the
rates were as follows: First 10000
feet, Soc; next 10000 feet, 25c;
al over 100000 feet, zoe.
The average consumption per Gus
toner in the city was $4,000 cubic
feet, and the average yearly bill per
consumer was $59.73.
It was learned that the Amarillo
company has one consumer for each
rs feet of main in the city, which is
surprisingly high average.
Another feature which is inter-
esting is that with a population of
15,949, there are 3,153 consumers,
or an average Of one consumer for
every 6 1-3 persons in the city. We
will venture the assertion that few
cities can show as high percentage of
users as can Amarillo.
Various persons were questioned
as to the gas situation and we did not
find person who had kick on eth
er the service or the prices charged.
Rather, we found them inclined to be
pleased.
We visited the office of the ANA
rillo Gas Company, and the manager
gladly answered any and all questions
we could ask, gave us figures as re-
quested, and showed disposition to
assist in getting what information
we desired.
An informal meeting of the Lib
eral City Council was held last night
to get further facts regarding the
franchise and the effect Of letting a
franchise at this time, but nothing
approaching definite solution was
gained.
Truly, it is a big question, and
there is chance to 60 wrong either
way. Mr.. McQuigg asks year in
which to start the work in order that
he may bring in another gas well.
While he says the present well is
ample, he would not care to go to the
expense of installing distributing
(. system with but one well. However,
he feels confident Of another big gas
ser when he penetrates the gas sand.

IL PITCHING CANDIDATES.
For the Middlebury College Nine-The
Team Praeticing Hard.

Middlebury, March 20.--The Middle
bury college baseball squad under the
direction OF Coach Dave Mercy il prac-
ticing daily in the gymnasium and on
the few dry spots to be found on the
campus, getting ready for the trip
which comes during Easter vacation.
On this trip the Blue and White win
encounter Harvard, Boston college.
Tufts, Northeastern, Williams and
probably other strong teams. The
schedule is uncertain at present, the
original scheme having been dislocatcd
by the changing OF commencement TO
one week earlier, necessitating the can
collation. of some games coming late
in the season and the shifting Of as
many as possible Of these to earlier
dates. So far only battery and in
field candidates have been called out
but the response has been gratifying
and the prospects for good team seem
bright.
There have appeared so far fourteen
candidate for pitchers, five for catcher
and seventeen for infield positions.
Ike Hulihan and up. or Hastings
are veterans OF the mound who may
be expected to shine, while the new
men give promise Of developing into
varsity material. There is keen com
petition for the catcher position, left
vacant by the graduation Of Jack Mead
but Comfy, '25, seems to be making a
strong bid for the berth.
The infield positions are being holly
contested. both by upper-classmen and
new men, and there is as yet little 10
Indicate who will win the positions ell
though it seems certain that the infield
is to be much stronger than last yea.
It is expected that the squad win be
cut some time within week, and with
an improvement in weather conditions,
tentative varsity win be whipped
into shape.

deputies were on duty. Sheriff An

and as that number was not exceeded

come off.

STRUCK IT'S FLAG
To Father Time But Not to the
Enemy.

Cleveland, o., March 90 The Cleye-
land light artillery, the gallant old bat,
terry that served in the Civil war and
which is said to have fired the frst
shot at the Confederate forces in the
first land battle Of the war, has struck
its flag TO father time.
The last roll call of the organization,
held on Washington's birthday Feb. ~,
following annual custom, was answered
by only one Of the two remaining vet
Grams of the original battery and two
honorary members who served with
other Ohio batteries.
Nicholas Weidenkopf, rs years OF
age, who was the youngest soldier IN
the Cleveland battery, called the roll
and Rev. Henry NJ. Martindale OF
Cleveland and Richard King Of Char
don. the two honorary members, re-
sponded. Henry Rebbeck, the other sur
vivor Of the battery, was III at ms
home here.
ut was the dying wish of Colonel
James Barnett, that the last Of us turn
over the Cleveland artillery records TO
the Western Reserve Historical soci-
ety. said Mr.. Weidenkopf. Il move
that the Cleveland light artillery here
by disbands."
The motion carried and Weidenkopf

NEW YORK TEAMS BACKWARD.
Both of Them Were Badly outclassed
Sunday.

New York, March 0.-Manhattan's
two big league baseball teams have far
to go before they can seriously hope TO
compete with any degree of success with
the teams of their respective circuits,
fans of this city agreed to-day. The
Giants took the small end OF II TO @
score against the White Sox yesterday
at San Antonio, Texas, while the YAM
KEGS were lambasted at New Orleans
by the St Louis Cardinals, the score
being - to 10.
Brooklyn's entry for the National
league stakes came through against the
Louisville American association team
at Pensacola. Fla, winning 3 too. A
feature of the game which caused Viii
Der Robinson. the Dodgers manager,
TO sleep well after supper, was the
the pitching of Reuther, who held the
opposition hitless for the three innings
he was in the rifle pit.
The Yankee defeat was made doubly
bitter through the fact that Babe Ruth
permitted a single to pass through his
legs like pig in an alley. The Incl
dent sent Waite Hoyt on a balloon trip
that lasted long enough for the Mound
City lads TO einch the verdict.
