BLAIR IH DARKNESS
AFTER LIGHT ROW
JBIMT City Council and Electric
Liffht Company Lock Eorrn and
the Town it in Darkness.
CAUDLES HI GOOD DEMAND
BLAIR, Neb., Aug. 28. (Special
Telegram.) Except where candles
and kerosene lampi are In use, Blair
is la total darkness tonight. Not an
electric light Is glimmering at any
point within the corporate limits.
The town has gone back to the primi
tive method ot lighting and the wis
est men hero will not make a predic
tion aa to how long the present con
ditions are to continue.
Tha present light, or rather lack of
light, conditions have been brought
on by the city council and the Blair
Light and Power company locking
horn a.
Borne weeks ago at a special elec
tion bonds In the sum ot $35,000
were voted, part of the proceeds to
be need In the purchase of the plant
that has been in operation for years,
or for the installation of a municipal
plant.
Have the Cash Ready.
The bonds wer marketed and the
M,000 put In the hank. Negotiations be
tween the city council and the officer
of the old plant were began. The city
offered (12.000 for the plant and the com
pany demanded 120,000. None of the par
ties would make concessions and the
(natter came; to a showdown today, when
after a meeting of the city council, the.
lighting people were told that they would
have to acceot $12,000 or move their plant
cut of town. They asserted that thev
would move before they would accept a
dollar teas than $20,000. They were told
to so.
This afternoon the moving procrs
commenced. Bulbs of incanlescent lights
and globes of street lamps were taken
cff and wires disconnected.
Tonight when darkness came there
were no lights, either on the streets. In
business houses or homes. A hurried
trip was made by city officials to the
plant of the electric light company.
There they were told that the company
was preparing to move out and that the
current would not he turned on again, j
Old Lamp In Demand. t
Kerosene lamps were dug up out of at- '
tics and out of basements, the wicks '
trimmed Had lighted. The stores were '
raided for candles and In a short time the '
supply was exhausted. Still, it Is pretty
dark around town, for there Is not a ray
of llKht except what is shed by the lamps
and the candles.
What Is going to be the outcome of the
controversy nobody will even venture to
guess. The members of the council as
rert that they will stand on the $13,080
proposition and on the other hand, the
electric light people are Just as firm In
asserting that the city will pay the sum
Sskcd for the plant, or go without light
tintil a new plant can be Installed, which
will be at the shortest time, ninety days
to six months.
There Is talk of legal proceedings, but
vp to this time It . haa not been deter
mined what proceedings to secure light
: must be Instituted.
The light company has fought the Is
suing of the bonds even to obtaining an
injunction to prevent It, but the suit was
decided In favor of the city.
Recently the city had an electrical en
gineer from Lincoln appraJse the old
plant and be fixed the value at about
Barlna- Temporary IMants. '
Messrs. Robinson and Hopewell of the
Jlome theater are In Omaha tonight to
buy a light plant for their moving pic
ture show. Tom Osterman of the Blair
emocrat will run his auto up to the
eide of his building and attach It to his
Trees for Jobvwork tomorrow.
The service given by the present com
pany le the best the city has had for a
number of years and public sentiment Is
In favor of buying the plant at a fair
piioe.
Cleveland, O., capitalists own the local
tJ ant.

Dr. E. W. Taylor Back
' From Vacation Trip

Presbyterian church, returned yesterday
from a six weeks' vacation trip during
which he traveled on a motoroycla from
Omaha to Fredonla, Aria, and back to
Bait Lake City, where be snipped his
wheat, returning by train.
The doctor has made numerous similar
trips, but none that baa covered so much
uncharted territory for the motor. He
followed the Colorado river and viewed
the grand canyon from the north rim.
Originally he planned to cross and re
turn by way of Albuquerque, but found
this would entail too expensive a trip for
the time available.
Bom of the Journey was across desert
land that made travel a real hardship.

Flood-Swept Regions
Or Arkansas Request
Aid for Destitute
LITTIH ROCK. Ark., Aug. J7. Flood
swept sections of Arkansas appealed for
aid today to care for thousands of per
sons made homeless and destitute by
the rising waters. Tonight hundreds of
families were camping on high ground
with only the barest necessities of life
and many were reported In actual need
of food.
Newport, Searcy, Augusta and George
town asked for food and money. At
Newport 4,000 persons, nearly the entire
population, are ' unable to enter their
houses because of flood waters.. Ap
proximately 1,000 families from the sur
rounding country have been driven into
the four towns and are sheltered in
camps.
Large quantities of supplies contrib
uted by citlsens in Arkansas have been
In adequate for the need, It Is said,
by Mayor A. T. Hubly of Newport, who
made another urgent request for assist
ance late today.
While the White river was falling at
Newport tonight the great volume of
water from tributary streams probably
will keep It at flood stage for ten days.
It was said.
At Des Arc, Ark., where the levee broke
lost night, the liver still was rising
rapidly tonight At De Va!ls Bluffs, Aark,,
I '""
' !
t, .
the rlyer la rising and has reached the;week M0 aftor . ,hort lneM wa h,l(1
highest stage ever known there. Train
service on the Searcy branch of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Paclflo railway was
discontinued today. Black river was re
ported falling tonight and It Is believed
will not send a new flood down the
White, as was feared yesterday. "
