W. D. Marks, an appraiser who was
secured by the city to appraise the gas
company's property. Tcported that cas
could be furnished at a profit at 03 cents.
He figured the valuation of the com
pany's property, not Including franchise
value, at 11,500,000, whereas the gas com
pany fixes the value at $3,000,000.
These variations In the supposed value
of tho property would bo tho bono of con
tention In court proceedings It the gas
company, refusing to reach an agreement
with tho city council after the franchisd
had been voted by tho people,- should
carry tho price demanded by the council
to tho courts, as confiscatory.
It Is now the general understanding
that If the franchise Is granted the jgas
company for another twenty-flvo years
It will data from January 1, 1918, and the
reduction It will carry will also date from
the first of the year, making It necessary
for the gas company to' rebate the dlf
ference'to consumers.
Franchise Complete; '
While another conference must be held,
the gas franchise ordinance is now prac
tically complete and agreed upon, tt
provides that tho council may purchase
the plant, if it desires, at the end of
fifteen years, or when the franchise has
expired, by giving six months' notice
The franchise value Is specifically ex
cluded from the purchase price, in case
of purchase.
No provision is made In the ordinance
regarding the price of gas, except that it
shall not be more than it to private' con
sumers or 90 cents to the city, the matter
being left to tho city council and the
Can company, It Is possible that the
council will ask for a rata of OS cents, or
else consent to tho 1 rate and a short
time contract,
The council has the powtr to make a
contract for gas at any price not exceed
ing $1 for any length of tlmo not ex
ceeding ten years or to contract for Jl
gas for one or two or five years, and
95-cent gas for tho remainder of the ten
year period, or else contract for a fixed
period without reference to the price

BUTTEi, Monti May udgo" ilour-
quln of the United States court rendered
a decision today which may establish an
International precedent. It wos in a suit
entitled, "Tho United States Against
Eighty-Five Head of Cattle.1'
A herd strayed from Canada Into Mon
tana some days ago and was seised by
customs officials. The United States
claimed duty on the cattle. The Can

quln decided that where cattle feeding
near the line strayed across they were
not dutiable.
The . court remarked that settlers In
the sections involved were in moderate
circumstances and it should not be the
policy of tho government to harass them.

Calvin Hartwell and District Attorney
John D. Fredericks conferred today with
reference to handling the Inquiry Into
the pier disaster Saturday at Long Beach
which cost thirty-six lives, and it was de
cided that there would bo no grand Jury
investigation.
The coroner's Jury, it was said, was
vested with powers sufficient to cover the
case and had the right to prosecute per
sons for manslaughter If the evidence de
veloped at the Inquest, which begins
Thursday, warrants such action.
The coroner's Jury will go Into all
Phases of the disaster and will delve Into
the history of the municipal pier and the
city auditorium, tho construction of
which wns accompanied by charges of
graft. The structures were completed In
1S06 and 1908. J. B. Losee, who attended
a meeting of tho city council at that
time, and Mayor Eno, were charged with
having accepted bribes from the con
tractdr. Losoe was the only man brought
tq trial. The Jury disagreed, and without
going to trial a second tlmo. Lossee turned
$1,000 into the city treasury. No ac
tion was taken against the contractor,
John Balrd, and the structures, as built,
were accepted.
The allegation that since the building
of the pier It never has been systematic
ally Inspected will also be probed by tho
coroner's Jury.
Experts will be appointed to examine
tho damaged pier and report on its con
dition. One expert will bo named by
Mayor Hatch of Long Beach, another by
the British societies which were cele
brating Empire day when the d I east or
occurred, and the third will be selected
by Coroner Hartwell and District At

Fifty Dollars a Day
County's Cash Goes
to Sheriff MoShane
Sheriff Felix J. McShane, Jr., has an
Income, whose source Is the county, of
$50 not a week nor a month, but a day.
County Commissioner Lynch, who has
th the past made some fights to reduce
the stream of cash flowing from the
treasurer's office Into "the pockets of
McShane, has figured It all out and
found that the sheriffffs income is at
least $50 a day In addition to his having
plenty of time at his disposal to Invest
the money where It will do -him the most
good, for the sheriff's otflce almost nans
Itself.
If the county has to pay McShane fO
cents a day for feeding each prisoner in
the county Jail his profit on the 164 pris
oners now In Jail is at least $3? a day.
This Is putting the cost ot feeding one
man at ZlVt cents per day. Gardlpee and
(Flanagan, former1 feeding contractors.
charged the board 18 cents a day and
made a profit but the sheriff claims his
food costs more. The work in the kitchen
is done by trusties.
The sheriff's salary Is $(,000 a year,
whloh Is a few cents less than $11 a day.
He clears out ot mlteage allowed htm
about $1,000 a year, which la more than
$1M a day. The total Is $50.50 a day.
For every hour of tho day or night
the county pays Sheriff McShano $2.10.
Every minute that goes by Is worth 15
cents of the county's money to McShane.

Receipt that Will
Save Second Payment
Not only did the Easter tornado dig up
old lost checks and notes fqr persons
whose homes were wholly or partly de
stroyed, but it went a step farther and
dug up a receipts for George Hurd which
will likely save him from paying IJ8 a
second time.
Some months ago Mr. Hurd received a
letter from the Western Publishing com
pany of San Francisco saying that he
owed the company $18 and that tho com
pany wanted payment He wiote. them
Ond explained that the obligation, which
ht Incurred In buying some books tor tho
children, had been settled long ago. They
wrote back a saucy letter saying that
their books did not show that he had
paid. Hurd summoned his witnesses
his wife and daughter and asked them
what they remembered about It They
both remembered that the debt had been
paid, but neither of them could find tho
receipt Then came the tornado. The
home was partly wrecked. Kurd's loss
was several hundred dollars, but he found
the receipt, which will save him $18 he
does not owe.
