A great mass of ‘technical matter has been’ intro: duced, and the commission is only now appgoaching .the question of op- erating expenses and revenue, upon which the fixing of rates must be bas- ed. The last few days have been de- voted to testimony bearing upon the purification plant and its adequacy, with a view to determining the qual. ity of the water which is being sup- plied Bismarck consumers, There has been some divergence on the question of present values and re- production costs. \Engineer Stratton of the way commisston estimated the present value of the land to be $202,267, and the, reproduction cost These tigures include only actual physical construction costs, no allowance bei; made for overhead, Arvid Reuter/.hl, an expert called in by the railway commission, fixed the present value of the plant at $479,475 and the reproduction cost at $526.865.- 20, City Engiheer Atkinson - ed the present value to be $22: 83, and the reproduction cost at $319,011.- 02, including overhead charges such | is engineering expense, interest on investment during period of construc- tion, legal expenses, office expenses, and contractors’ expenses, totaling 25 cost on the total investment. Wolf! of St. Paul fixed the reproduction cost at $207,338 and the present value at $184,041. Engineer Bass testified as to the value of the distribution system only, and his evi- arriving at the value of the whole plant. The company’s estimates of values, exclusive of land, drainage . tunnel, franchise, overhead and going yal- u exclusive of the old pump house, coal, track, and three water mains Teading to the capitol, Fort Lincoln and the penitentiary, suction and dis- charge, pavement over mains and ser- vice, temporary water mains, two boilers and numerous other miscel- laneous items, was $565,046 for repro- duction’ at prices of material and la, bor prevailing June 25, 1919, and $551,477.19 as the present value. Oth- er engineers in figuring reproduction costs’ based their estimate on’ the’ av- erage price of materials prevailing over a period of ten years, which is considerably lower than. the present range. In addition, the drainage tunnell is valued at $7,646.78, spur track at $8,- 586 and land at. $158,000. The com- pany has capitalized the value of its natural site, giving the plant the ad- vantage, of gravity, at what it esti- mates an artificial gravity plant would cost.

Look, it’s Tenderloin Bull Nolan!” he said to his pal. “Don’t you remember, he’$ de cop who used. to chase us from doorways for shoot- ids?” “Shure,” said the lucky soldier, “and ‘he pulled us once for smoking butts.

ENSIGN TELLS OF | SEAPLANE FIGHT] Officer Describes How Amerivan and British Aviators Held - Off Superior Forces. FOUR MACHINES ATTACK 20 Interesting Account of an Exciting | Aerial Combat During the Late War—Battle Enemy for Several Hours, Washington.—One ef the most. in-) teresting accounts. of an aerial combat in the late war was made public re- cently by. the navy news bureau, which has headquarters in the navy depart- ment in Washington, The story is told in the report of Ensign R.. B. Keyes of the United States.Naval Flying corps to Admiral Sims, and relates how four” British seaplanes operated by American ayd British aviators fought 20: German mh- chines several hours in defense of a British plane that had been forced to descend. to the water for repairs, Ersign Keyes svas the front gun layer of one of the machines, in which: Lieutenant Galyayne of. the British Royal Air force was second pilot. In his report the aviator ‘says: “Our three machines from Felix- stowe rose from the water at noon,| cireled into: patrol formation, and pro- planes; ‘At one o'clock. the squadron turned east. Soon: we perceived the Dutch coast and followed ‘the sandy until we came: to Terschelling. % Sighted German Planes. . “At Terschelling we veercd west, but we soon had to turn back because one machine (Eaton's) had come to the water with a broken petrol pipe. We circled: it, and 15 minutes later sighted. five German planes. steering west, which would soon bring. them upon us, “Lieutenant Galvayne was seated near the wheel. His duty was to direct the pilot. I was in the front cockpit, with one gun and 400 rounds) of ammunition. , In the stern cockpit), the engineer and wireless ratings were to handle three guns. “We took battle formation and: went forward to meet the enemy machines, but when. almost within range they turned and ran away from us. At once, we gave chase, but soon found that they were too fast. ‘ : . “We had chased these planes to keep them away from the machine on the water, which otherwise would have been shot to pieces. Finding now that they could keep out of our range, we turned back and again circled the dis- abled plane. veal “Soon the enemy once more- came close, and we gave chase a second time. But instead of five machines, as before, there were only four. “Suddenly we discovered that a large number of hostile planes were steering toward us, not in the air with the four Planes, but very close to the water. Ten machines were in this group, but they were ‘joined in a few minutes by five more. “We swung into battle formation and aimed for the middle of the fleet. When we were nearly within range four planes on the port side and five on tie starboard side rose to our level of 1,5.) feet. Two planes ‘passed di- rectly beneath us, shooting upward. Firing was incessant from the begin: ning, and ‘the air seemed’ blue with tracer sinoke, The Germans used ex- plosive bullets. I gave most of my time to the four planes on our port side, because they were exactly at our level. and within good range, about “Once I looked round and: noticed stooping position. By bending lowe; I discovered that his head was lying, In a pool of blood. “From this time on I have no clear idea of just what our maneuvering | was, Evidently we put up # running fight; steering east, then circling...Sud- denly I found that our machine liad been cut off from the formation and we were surrounded by seven eneiny seaplanes. We were steering. almost southwest. We fouglit for ten miles, or. so, until. we drove the seven Ger- mans off. One of them was driven down out. of control and made a. very! Poor landing. Another was: badly hit, side-slipped, and crashed in flames from a height. of 2,000 feet. All were severely punished. Lieutenant Gaivayne Killed. . “The engagement tad lasted about half an-hour. We descended to the water at 4:45 p. m.'ten miles north- ‘west’ of Vlieland.
