COUNSEL HOLDS
 CITY MAY NAME
 ELECTRIC RATE
Says No Rates Are Now in Effect and Council May
 Fix by Ordinance.

Holding that there is not now in force between the city of Juneau and the Alaska Electric Light X Power Company any agreement on the question of rates, an opinion de livered to Mayor R. F. Robertson today by Hellenthal & Hellenthal, special counsel, declares that new agreement between the City Council and the light company or by an ordi- nance passed by the Council under its rower to regulate and fix rates conferred by the Act of the Territor- ial Legislature of 1919.
 Commepting on the opinion, the Mayor said he believed it to be sound and that an ordinance would be pre- pared in which rates will be named, and introduced when the Council meets tomorrow evening.
 Brief Is Exhaustive
 The brief prepared by the ctty's special counsel goes into the legal phases of the light controversy at considerable length. It first takes up the question of whether or not the company has legal franchise The night of the city to grant such franchise is upheld and accordingly the validity of the franchise granted under Ordinance Ninetythrce passed by the City Council in 1908 admitted
 The opinion affirms the right of the Council to enter into an agree ment on rates. but declares that a city council does not have the right TO fix them for any definite period if in so doing it surrenders its. pow CT of rate regulation for that period The rate named in the original fran chise was fixed at maximum oi l5 cents per kilowatt hour. In 1917 'his was amended at the instance oi more detailed schedule which ex Dired on August 1. last The opinion holds that with the expiration of the second contract. in view of the fact 'NH't the city government has not entered into any further agreement erd has not passed any ordinance fixing the rates. no rates whatever arc in effect. IL holds that the rates nnn'ving prior 10 August 1. by agree ment between the company and the city government. could remain in force until new ones were fixed but tha' the company has not the right 'o arbitrarily fix its rates without he Council agreeing thereto.

ing in 1872. For the past few years. he said. movement calling for the liftir of this ban had rapidly grown. and change conforming with the spirit of the times is inevitable.
 Leaders of the church have told him. Mir. Smythe declared. that. fl i.ha 1924 conference should by chance fail to agree to do away with these three prohibitions. such action will surely follow the amalgamation of the Methodist Church South. as is expected in the near future
 When chese two churches fuse, Mr. Smythe said. a new book of disci- pline will be necessary, and without doubt the 1872 anti-amusement, and other blue laws will then be. elimin- ated.

BOIL WEEVILS WORK IN
WET WEATHER-sO MUST
THE COTTON PLANTER

THE COTTON PLANTER
Ii you expect to whip the b i
weeyiI in a fair fight, you have
got to show Guch energy as he
does-which means that though
the operation may be both diff
cult and unpleasant. poisoning
must be done even when the
plants are wet and the ground
muddy SO says the U. s. Depart.
ment Of Agriculture with regard
to poisoning lhe weevil with cal.
cIum arsenate. The Depart,
nent has found that, during the
critical stage, the pois oning
should be done at intervals Of
about four days Two or three
applications, made in good
weather, may have got the wee
wills under control. Then there
comes a rainy spell and the far
mers lets the time for poisoning
pass while he waits for fair
weather. But this is exactly
The time when the weevils is
busiest. The numbers are likely
to Increase SO rapidly that the
control already gained is lost.
la this event, the weeyils inflicts
about as much damage as il DO
poisoning had been done and
the farmer loses, in addition,
what lie has spent in poisoning
operations. The only way to
prevent that sort of result is to
let wet weather interfere as little
as possible with poisoning opera
tions. Stick to the schedule.
The Department realizes, OF
course, that poisoning cannot be
done in pouring rain but the far
mers, the specialists urge, should
take advantage Of the earliest
opportunity to get back int tbt
tieIds after the rain, that lie
should make every effort to gel
,he c1tton again busted regularly
even though fair weather does
not seem certain. He can afford
hey say, to put on poison even
IN unsettled weather. 1t mag
he washed off again shortly but
"a the other hand, the weather
yen when it looks most threater
.ng, may stay fair long enough |
10 allow weevl CONTROL to ope;.
'te. Every farmer, who is point
ID cut, must expect to lose some
poison by rain but the operati
ms is sufficiently profitable to
Justify it.

BRITISH YACHT CLUB ACCEPTS
 CHALLENGE OF AMERICAN CLUB

New York, Dec. 19-Forecast of a keen season of international yachting compe- tition in 1923 was seen today in an an- nouhcement that the first event between American and British craft had been scheduled, a series of six races between six-metre yachts to ,be sailed in August in British waters for the historic Sea- wanhaka challenge cup.
 This trophy was captured last year by Coila III, owned by J. G. Stephens, of the Royal Northern Yacht club, of Scotland, and one of the British craft defeated by American six-metre sloops in the team contest for the British-Am- ariean cup. The Cofla defeated the de- tender, Sakie of the ManchesteE Mass, Yacht club, in a series of races and the cup went overseas for the first time in it's twenty-seven years history.
 The formal challenge for the 1923 con- test was made by the Seawanhaka-Co- 'inthian Yacht club. of Oyster Bay, N. Y and has just been accepted by the Royal Northern Yacht club. The former or. f;anization will invite yaehtsmen who art members of the recognized clubs to talk ,'art in trial races on Long Island sound to determine the American challenger rhe cup races will be sailed on the Clyd, river, in Scotland.
