James Rcilly, manafjinK editor of the

the original tip of Wilson's note. He
vaid that Dow Jones' ticker service
announced: "Peace manifesto will

thened the market, giving the broker
ipportunity to prepare their accounts
for a break, and preventing a panic.
Another step in the direction oi
municipal ownership of liffht. powei
and water plants was taken last night
hen a petition was presented to th
' il signed by some 500 names
asking the city fathers to take action
leading to the acquiring of the
properties.
Ihe matter was brought up sevcr.t
months ago, but no formal steps wcr
taken with the council. The petition
were circulated last summer, and I
filing on a watertight was made ot
Roaring Creek above Larwood. Thi
filing was contested, however, b
m. Larwood, who claims to hav
prior right for his sawmill. His con
tentions teems to be correct and tha'
project will no doubt be dropped and
a new place looked up before further
steps are taken to secure mountain
water for Albany.
It is also argued tnat Roaring Creev
is rot targe enough in the sumrne-
time, which is an argument thai
wu!d be used to defeat the enter
prise.
Just how far the backers, which in
elude a number of prominent mer
