to be quite acute and several of

The Port Hobron supply has

has added to the difficulties so
that immediate relief is out of
the question.

say at that time but more would
te heard from him in three or
four weeks. However, he said
lie was agreeably surprised at
the number of fine homes which
were here.
WRANGELL COLD STORAGE
IS ATTACHED
matter of franchise he was un
willing to accept a long term
franchise, preferring one that
would be covered under a five
year clause as conditions aris
ing might make operation by
the company a loss or the rate
paid by the town an exorbitant
one. In fair to both parties a
franchise should not extend ov
er a greater than five years.
In a derogatory manner he
compared the Seattle publicly
owned utilities with that of the
Stone and Webster company.
He desired to meet with a spe
cial committee of the Council
to go over in detail the matter
of franchise and price. He ask
ed that the city state the price
it thought fair from which point
a working basis could be secur
ed. The light and power com
mittee, which is composed of
Messrs. Swanson,. Allen and
Hanseth were to meet with Mr.
Van Orsdell Wednesday even

Depreciation of Public Utilities
Speaking of the depreciated
values of the water works and
hydro-electric plant, Mr. Van
Orsdell stated that the engin
eers had placed it at $33,000.
He thought this very low at first
but later came to the conclusion
it was more nearly correct. The
Hydro-electric plant is about
four years old while the water
works is fifteen.

A PREACHER PRAYS I
i
A good many years ago, the
first time when I ran for the
Senate, I spoke one Saturday
evening in one of Nebrasa’s
beautiful cities, and the next}
morning a gentleman approach
ed me, introduced himself, said
he was a preacher. He had come
12 miles from a little town to »
hear me speak the night before, j
He had to hurry back and could 1
not visit with me very long be- |
cause he was due to deliver his1
regular Sunday sermon at 11:00
o'clock, but he wanted to tell me.
“Mr. Norris, I want to tell you!
how interested I am in your*
campaign; how anxious I am to1
see that you are elected to the I
United States Senate. I get so I
enthusiastic about your com-1
paign that every night on bend
ed knee, I pray God to protect;
you, and to see that you are I
elected to the United States j
Senate.”
He said, “I get so enthusiatic j
that sometimes I almost feel as
though I want to vote for youf
myself.”
And I said, “Well, my friend,
if that’s the way you feel, why
don’t you vote for me?” And he
said, “I am a Democrat.” Now
there you had it. There was a
a preacher, a leader in his com
munity, a follower of the lowly
Nazerene, a man who ought to
have said with Ben Adhem,
“Write my name as one who
loves my fellow men,” and yet
he was asking God to do what
he did not have the courage to
do himself. He was praying one
way and voting another. He
killed his own prayer with his
own vote.
