REDDING SHOWS WAY TO OTHER COMMUNITIES
Redding took over the light distributing plant in that
city three and a half years ago, and has since operated
it as a municipal utility.
And the results have more than justified the move; in
fact, they have provided a telling example of the bene
fits of municipal ownership.
In a report just issued by City Clerk Engram, a net
profit of 5116,000 for the municipal treasury is shown
for that period, while each succeeding year has produced
a larger surplus for the city treasury.
Part of this money has been used to meet obligations
entered into when the plant was purchased.
But more than $50,000 has been made available from
this source for municipal improvements such as the pur
chase of new fire eaufnment and street uaviner.
This has been done even with the city purchasing its;
current from a private corporation.
If it owned its own hydro-electric plant as well, how
much better showing could be made?
There is a lesson for other Sacramento valley commun
ities in what Redding has done.
Especially should it spur Sacramento on to the completion-
of her own Silver Creek project.

uoove the Jap Hills ranch near

Eugene, who thus solved the strange
disappearance of the workman from

place, according to word received
last night.
Wild animals apparently had ic-t
voured the body after the man had
died of sickness and starvation. All
that was found was the skull, a jaw
bone, ribs and both hands.
Dr. Harris was led to a search
for the missing man by n number
of cards, found near the ranch
hearing the message "come quick,
I am starving." He found the
bones in the bed of a dry creok
two miles from tho Willamette riv
