WHAT IT COSTS TO MAKE GAS tome Ilaminating Statistics from the Report of an Indian- “dpolls Company. The Citiesns Gas company of Indlan- 1polis has lssued @ preliminary report to ntorm stockholders of the results of its yperations, especially for the month of De- céember, which was the first month of operation of the main plant of the com- pany.. The statement ‘is Intended only to g!ve some_ldea of the success of the com- pany to those who desire.information prior to the publication of the annual report. It 1s stated that the latter is practically com- pleted, but that it will not be published until the audit of the books is completed and the auditor's report is obtained by the directors. Tt is sald that the full report will Jbe published about the-middie of February, “At the close of.the year .the .company has 5604 gas meters A use” says the report. A’ number of ‘othérs which had been set were left In houses then vadant. The gas sold for the month of December amounted to 17,659,700 cublc feot. “The company began the supply of gas on a small scale in April. Between the beginning of operations and the end of the year the company h fRtured 59,869, 000 cublc feet of Whatér gas from its auxiliary plant, at an average of 27.6 cents a thousand cublo- feet in"the holder. The by-product overls were started in the latter part of November, and by December 31 the company had manufactured 22,634,000 cubic feet of coal gas from its main plant at a cost of one-fourth ‘of 1 cent a thousand cublo feet for gas in thé' holder. Although all of these figures are considered very gratifylng, especlally In" view of the dif- ficulties under which the new. plant has been put in operation, the improvement of conditions at the plant will reduce the Jabor cost of operation, and when the | second battery of ovens'ls put In use It | will require practically no.more labor to | operate the entirq plant than Is now re- quired for half of it. “Our report for December shows that we are now producing genuine f0-cent gas for the first time In the history of In- dlanapolis. Our cost of making water gas was exceedingly favorable, and with a fair | volume of business such gas could be sold at 00 cents, but the profits would never be such that a fair return eould be made to thoss who have invested their money to establish the (0-cent gas company. By its | owns statements the Indlanapolis Gas com- pany has never made 60-cent gas, and does | not expect to be able to @o-wo. It can only | hope to keep the price down to mset our competition, trusting that we shall be compelled to retire from the fleld and allow tho price to go up again. Now, however, 0-cent gas is actually being made by us. “We are operating only half of our ovens, and are working under very trying con- ditions on account of the extreme cold this winter, at the very time when we would | have our hands full, anyhow, In breaking | in a green force and in adjusting our apara- | tus to meet our requirements. Gas is put | into our holder at a cost of about one- | quarter of 1 cent & thousand cuble feet. When we begin operating our other ovens we shall be able to make gas still more cheaply, for practically no - expenses are | increased, except our coal bills. It I therefore, quite clear that #-cent gas ha come to stay, If we can tomtinue 1o have the generotis support which the people of Indianapolls have given us in the past. We need a good many more consumers, and we | belleve we shall get them in the spring. | Meanwhile we are taking care of all who desire our service at this time, and we are dally getting our gas closer to the point of absolute uniformity, which it has lacked for the last month or two, but is sure to | | be renched ms soon as we overcome some { minor initial manufacturing troubles. “Our oven gas has never been as low as | €60 heat units, and has usually been nearer to T Its richness has surprised us, and has given us a great deal of difficulty be- cause it has caused carbon to form on a g00d many burners. Too much of a good thing is very often gbjectionable, How- ever, although some of our consumers have | been Impatient at our apparent delay In bringing our gas down to thelr require- ments, practically all of them realize that ,wo have the only ®-cent gas that can be counted on. and are willing to ive us | |a reasonable time to make our coal gas as much bettep than our water gas as the | latter was better than any previously furnished in this city."—Indianapolis News.

They are also being backed up by a few school men. Why? Suppuse we go back a féw yedrs, Where do we find Prof. Crabtrge. ' In the legislature lobbying. For what? A bl to create an inspector of high schools. The bill is passed and the sald Prof. Crabtres is. appointed. He Is next heard from at Peru. A good man was he—headed to give him the prgsidency. Then what. It is sald that he built the school up—made it a great Institution, doubled the attendance. Are these faots— to the outsider, yes—to others, no. ‘Why aia Fremont and Wayne colleges double in the same time under old arrangements? Why did our infant at Kearney grow like & mushroom—400, 60, 00 by leaps and bounds? There must have been some cause other than the greatness of the heads of these schools or else they (the presidents) are equally great with Prof. Crabtrea. In our opinion thers was a cause, and that cause was some new school legisiation, raising the standard of teachers. Teachers that had been teaching for years had to go to school In order to meet the new condl- tions. The graduste of & high school cannot secure & position as teacher in a high school as soon as graduated as of yor but must have work In a higher institution, therefore, you see the law has been in- strumental In building up our normals.

Bah! Guess Shallenberger has & few guesses coming before he sheds any tears over the Peru affair and as to Prof. Crabiree he played a cold blooded game of politics and lost.

PRESS FOE T0 TGNORANCE (Conunuea {rdm First Page) < Vantage point won by the lust, skinmish in the combat.” | Mr. Rosewater traced the development of ! paper, type, press and stereotyping from the catliest date of wlich any. knowledge is obtainable to our own day, to the point where the linotype machine and the per- fecting press bpecame the usual thing in the crdinary newhpaper office, and sal ““The production of the modern newspaper 1s also largely dependent on, and thercfore | concurrent with, the perfection of our means of rapld communication and trans- portation. The gathering of the news to- day taxes all known devices of communica- tion and the distribution of the printed newspaper calls into requisition all the avallable facilities for transportation. The growth of the newspaper from a local chronicle of petty happenings and nsighbor- hood gossip Into the eontemporancous mirror of world events could procsed no faster than the evolution of these auxillary agencies. Newspaper of Yesterday. “But nearly all the achlevements which have made possible the nowspaper of today would themselves hardly have been possi- ble without the. newspaper of yesterday. The newspaper has been an active con- tributor to the upbullding as well as a beneficlary. Its mission has been and is to use its great power to the end of still further broadening the area of popular in- telligence and helping along the triumph of truth over ignorance. “How does the newspapef perform this part of its work? It does it by bringing home to the people what is disclosed by the searchlight of publicity directed at all our human activities. Nowhere has popular government been really successful without [the existence of a free, vigilant, and un- trammeled public press on guard as the | sentry of individual liberty, ready to ex- | pose corruption and oppression and to sound the alarm against the approach of the tyrant. I venture to affirm the belief that the most potent deterrent of wrong- doing and the most promising corrective of nearly all our crying abuses, socal, in- dustrial and governmental, lie in the line of publicity and the molding of a public | opinion -Whose penaities tall more certainly, and more heavily, on the offender than any punishment prescribed by law Tendency to Extremes.

He it required & ceptury after the distovery | of America for the achiexement of Colum- | bus to beoome known. He closed his ad- | dre: h\) these words: { “We deplore that newspapers are | often tempted to go to extremes In every- !hlnx and to exaggerate the less important at the expense of what proves to be the | more important. But the newspaper 1s |itself constantly tested in the flery | furnace of a discriminating public opinion, {& publfo opinlon becoming all the time | better educated and more exacting, As the level of popular Intelligence Is rajsed by the combined efforts of press and pul- | pit, school and university, ok the North Pole discovery as a case In | mittee on military affaivs reported a reso- | Point, and contrasted it with the fact that | 5 jymate that is perfectlo |~ There are vast the standards of | without & headache” all these agencles are bound to be elevated along with it “Ignorance aloné, like a dismal swamp, furnishes the breeding places of noxlous creatures, and each time ignorance Is put to rout the circle of Intelligence Is widened, and the power for evil of lgnorance Is weakened.” ' Snow Storm Raging in South Dakota All Traifis in Eastern Part of the| State Are Delayed—Severest of Winter, HURON, 8.
