they wish to increase the value and
income from their holdings in this
city, even though they personally
do not live here. The attitude of re-
cognizing it as sound business to
contribute to the development of
the city through the present tax
levy of one-mill, is expressed by J. E.
Davis, part owner of the Profess
sional building, former resident OF
Ell Centre and still large property
holder in this community although
now a resident of Long Beach, who
has the following to say concerning
the proposition to revoke the one
mill tax, which will appear on the
ballot on April 8.
The matter OF continuing the
one-mill city advertising levy for Ell
Centres development has been Civ
en- consideration by me. have al
ways felt that every citizen and
every property holder in a commun-
ity should be vitality interested in
the development of, and advance
ment of, the resources of their home
community. To do this everyone
who receives benefit from such de-
velopment and advancement should
be willing to pay his share of the
expenses incurred in community
work.
It know of no better way equit-
ably to distribute the cost of this
necessary item for city building
than by including them in the city
levy, as now in effect in the city OF
Ell Centre have been informed that
non-residents, like myself, pay about
81 per cent of the taxes now le-
We'd for this purpose. I can easily
see that the repeal of this act would
reduce the taxes I pay to the city
of Ell Centre but have never kicked
on taxes that seemed beneficial and
I am interested in and willing to
pay taxes that are secured on an
equitable basis and the proceeds
used in a careful busineSslike man
ner, as is done in Ell Centre under
supervision of the city trustees
and directors of the chamber OF
commerce.
"If I were going to make any
suggestions it would be that the pre-
sent manner of securing the funds
needed is entirely satisfactory, and
should be continued. If were now a
voter in Ell Centre I should favor
retaining the present manner of Sc
curing funds that are required for
advertising, and I should vote mo-
on the measure which will appear on
the ballot on April which seeks to
revoke this one-mill levy. Let it be
continued, for the good of Ell Gen.
tro.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
Ry United Pre,s

The Les Angeles Angels, picked
by many experts to trail at least
two other clubs in the 1884 race in
the Pacific coast league, had fly
ing start today toward a new pen
nant.
The Angels chalked up their
third straight victory at Portland S
expense yesterday and remained
alone at the top of the league, a
position they held when the cur
tain came down on the 1888 cam
paign last fall.
Hollywood and San Francisco,
selected on preseason strength to
lead the Angels across the wire, also
won their Thursday games and
Sacramento handed another drub-
bling to the league dark horses, the
Mission Reds.
In pitching Hollywood to a 6-3
win over Oakland, Frank Shellen-
back, veteran spitballer, registered
his 262nd win, setting a new league
record. Shellenback was in excel
lent form to begin his 18th season,
holding the Oaks to six hits. The
Stars fell on Hal Haid and McEvoy
for four runs in the eighth to sew
up the ball game.
Win Ballou, acquired from Los
Angeles over the winter. tossed
four hit ball to give the Seals an
easy 81 victory over Seattle. The
Seals scored six runs in the first
inning.
Sacramento won a nip and tuck
battle from the Missions by a 4-3
score. The Senators scored three
runs in the first inning but Dahl
gren s homer in the sixth tied the
score. Powers brought in the VIM
ming run in the seventh to give
Mamie Salvo the victory over three
Mission hurlers.
Los Angeles barely nosed out
Portland by TO score. The Beav-
ers rallied in the ninth to score
twice by the Angels stopped the up
rising one run short of tie. Three
run rallies in the seventh and eighth
innings off Turpin gave the cham
pions enough runs to win.

PENSION FUND
PLAN ADOPTED
BY POWER CD.

All employees of the Southern
Sierras Power company, the Imper-
ial Ice and Development company,
and Associated Companies of the
Nevada California Electric corpora
ton have been offered an insured
retirement plan that is underWrit-
ten by the Aetna Life Insurance
company of Hartford, Conn, &C
cording to A. B. West, president of
the corporation, in a formal an
nouncement that has been issued
to the employees. The new pro-
gram will be substituted for the
old, in order to give complete safe
ty to pension funds for employees,
and their previous credits will be
protected by a 100000 trust fund
that has been set aside by the cor
poration at this time for that pur-
pose.
The main features of the new
company offer provide an insured
retirement income for employees.

part of the cost.
The employees contributions are
returned in full with three per cent
compound interest in event they
leave the service of the company or
die before retirement. Male en-
ployees will normally be retired at
65 and female employees at 60.
West says: 1--WE believe that ev-
cry progressive corporation or bus
mess should assist in making pro-
vision for the old age of the en-
ployees who have devoted their pro-
ductive years to the service of such
organizations. Further, such pro-
vision should be definitely assured
in advance and should not be jeo-
pardized by changing conditions in
the future. By adoption of this in
sured retirement program we have
assured the members of our organ
ization who participate therein a
guaranteed income for their later
years.

was on the verge of nervous

might be unfit to play against the
Australians because of illness.

BAPTISM IN QUEEN ANNE
USES JORDAN WATER

When little Charlotte Ann Dukes,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Dukes, of Ingleside, Queen Anne Co.,
was baptized last Sunday morning at
the Ingleside Church, she probably
had one distinction that no other
resident of Queen Anne's County,old
or young can match.
From that famous river Jordan,
in whose water Christ was baptized,
came the water that was used in the
baptismal service that christened lit
tie Charlotte Ann. 1t was brought to
this country by Mrs. J. P. Bittle and
Miss Mary Downes, who made tour
of the Holy Lands last winter and
brought it home for the particular
purpose for which it was used.
