WASHINGTON, June 19.-RepOrt OF a
rule by the Rules Committee for con
slderation Of a minor bill precipitated a
bitter attack on Chairman Campbell when
it was discovered quorum of the com
mlttee was not present when the vote
was taken. The House was forced to
adjourn without transacting any bust
ness an dthe bill. which would continue
certain land Offices abolished by previous
legislation, was sent back to the cal
endar.
Representative Champion Of Michigan
made the assertion that q quorum was
not present, although the minutes Of the
committee indicated there was. Just
then Chairman Campbell entered the
chamber and the minutes read. He
acknowledged a quorum had not voted
for the report, and defended the action
on the ground that many committees
proceed like the House in assuming a
quorum was present as long as no mem
Der made a point of no quorum.
Mr. Champion made the point hat the
report. Notwithstanding that explanation,
was illegal. Speaker Gillett sustained
him.
The action was accepted as a rebuke
to Mr.. Campbell. S7ch action was the
first in the annals of House proceedings
in many years. it having been assumed
that reports from committees were the
result Of a quorum Of such bodies. Mem
bers held It would only serve to widen
the breach between majority factions,
with Mr.. Campbell as q leader of one,
as well as to weaken confidence in the
House and its procedure.

Two pictures flashed across
Houston's brain; one OF a snowy
safmill with the force working
day and night, when all the sur
rounding country cried for help;
another of carload after carload of
necessary machinery. snow-covered,
ice-bound, on a sidetrack at Tolli-
fer, with the whole, horrible, snow
clustered f7erceness of the CONT
mental Divide between it and its
goal.
In the night he awoke, again
thinking of it. Every possible hand
that could swing a pick or jab a
crowbar against grudging ice would
be needed up there. A mad desire
began to come over him; strange,
impelling scheme took hold of his
brain. They would need men-men
who would not be afraid, men who
would be willing to slave day and
night if necessary to the success of
the adventure Long before dawn
he rose and scrubbed a note to

danger ahead. How many Of you

One after another they reached
for their snowshoes, silent men who
acted, rather than spoke.
Guide lines were affixed. Hud-
died, clumsy figures of white, one
following the other, made the
grueling trip back to Tabernacle.
Already the reports were beginning
to come in, brought by storm weak
ened, battered men, Of
houses where the roofs had crashed
beneath the weight Of snow, OF lost
ranchmen, of bawiing cattle, drift
ing before the storm-to death. 1t
was the beginning OF a two-weeks'
siege of a white inferno.
The whole world was one great,
bleak thing Of dreary white-a
desert in which there was life only
that there might be death, where
the battle for existence continued
only as a matter of instinct
And over this bleak desert went
the men of the west country, silent,
frost-burned men, their lips crack
ed from the cut of wind, their eyes
blood-red with Inflammation, strug-
Cling here and there with a pack of
food upon their backs that they
might reach some desolate home
where there were women and chill
dren; or stopping to pull and tug
at snow-trapped steer and by main
effort, drag him into a barren spot
where the sweep of the gale had
kept the ground fairly clear of
snow.
A two-inch crust of snow formed
over the main snowfall, permitting
small sleds to be pulled behind
struggling men; the world beneath
had been frozen in, to give place 20
a new one above. And with that:
Its open! It's open!" The shout
came from the lips of the teleg-
rapher, waving his arms as he ran

A half-hour, then he stopped.

TOWN COUNCIL REDUCES
POWER RATE FOR ICE PLANT

Al meeting of the Town Council
held Wednesday afternoon, a redllc
tion was granted the Arcadia Lea \
FueI Co.. on the rate they nave bceh
having the Arcadia Light and Water
Plant for current.
Figures furnished by the Arcadia
Ice & Fuel Co., showed that at the
present rate paid by them for cur
rent they could not operate except
at a loss. and that it would only be
question of time before they would
be forced to 90 out Of business, in
which event the light plant would DC
deprived of practically one third OF
it's revenue.
These facts being before the c0un
ell II was deemed best for the town
as well as for the ice company tc
grant the reduction asked for, cSpecl
ally in view Of the fact that 1t could
be done and still give the light plant
a profit on the cost Of producing the
current.
With out an ice plant in a town
the size of Arcadia is at the mercy
of the ice manufacturers in the large
cities, who can be depended upon &c
supply ice to the smaller town only dur
Ing cool weather when business Is
slack and ice is not needed, but who
seldom furnish ice with any regular
ity when during the torrid summer
DAYS when ice becomes real neces
sity.
Looking at the matter from this
view point, an ice plant may be con
sidered as one Of the most important
assets of a town, next to its light and
water plant, which naturally holds
first place. In view of these facts We
feel that the action Of the Town COun
ell In granting the reduction is mos
commendable, as 1t will enable tht
ice plant to continue in operation an(
at narrow margin Of profit instead
Of a steady loss which has been th'
case heretofore.
The council has also appointed
committee composed of three council
men to act as an advisory board t.
\ look after the affairs of the Arcadi
Light and Water Plant. This will re
lieve the superintendent much of tn
detail and responsibilities which hav
heretofore rested upon him, and vii
enable him to devote his time an
attention to the mechanical superil
tendency of the plant. The committe
