; he had Intended to remodel it and!

furnish 'water at the lowest possible
rates. He Intended to do away with
; the Idea of the patrons having; to pay
j for th? laying of sen tee pipes and
to do that at the expense of the com
ipany depending upon patronage to
jkecp the plant paying. These were
hut a few of the projected Improve
ments which' he had -contemplated
ind to make them meant to spend
large sums of money. However, with
the existing limitation on the reven
ues of the plant placed there by law,
he did not care to undertake the
task. He wants it dinstinctly under
stood that be is "no quitter" ami if
he had believed that the plant could
be kept on a basis where it' would
pay even running expenses' then he
would have bought it. He knew that
in Jlme.H could be made to pay when
the Rood work of the commercial club
had borne fruit but. until it did,, he
wanted assurance that the running
expenses' w ould be taken care of by
the 'revenues at least.
It is to be regretted that space
:annot be allowed for a more extend

and business like talk, c That b
would make an excellent addition to
the live men of the city one cannot
help but believe after talking with
him for a few moments and it is to
be hoped that he may some day find
the city a place to locate in and to
help in its upbuilding.
fflti COUPLE
(HE ID
DECIDES IT PLANT OF
IDE 1TH WATER flUW
A. R. Dow of Salem, Ohio, Decides That the City Cannot Enter
Into Contract that Would Warrant His Buying Plant.
Several days ago the Journal made
mention of the visit to this city of
A II. Dow of Salem, O. Mr. Dow be
ing here on a visit of Inspection of
the plant of the Plattsmouth Water
company with a view to purchasing
the same and putting It into first-class
shape. Mr. Dow yesterday was inter
viewed by the Journal reporter and
consented to talk at length on the
business which had brought him to
the city. And before the facts which
the gentleman had to say, are quot
ed, It may be remarked that Mr. Dow
Is a most pleasing and entertaining
talker. He has a personality which
Is naturally attractive and one can
sot but be impressed with his busi
ness acumen and his evident con
cepton of modern business and Its
contract price asked. Mr. Dow stated
that he positively would not consider
lowering the present rate of hydrant
rental to $35 per year per hydrant
which would have to be done to keep
within the levy and besides this he
expressed fear that the assessed valu
ation might fall and he would not be
able to even collect the contract price
agreed upon even at those figures.
In connection with this Mr. Dow
asserts that jtbe average rate for
hydrant rental In cities of 20,000 and
less population Is $48 per year while
the present contract em's ior 45
here.. This ho states Is an excellent
rate for a city of this size to pay and
under the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding this plant It Is absolutely
necessary to have this rate to pay
even the running expenses. He stat
methodH. During the negotatlons for'ed that wither he nor any other man
the change In control of the water
plant which he conducted with the
commercial club and which have cov
ered a period of several months, the
fullest opportunity has been afforded
the officials of that organization for
an Investigation Into his standing In
nln home town and without exception
he has been given the highest stand
ing. He has been the owner of the water
system In that city for many years
and has devoted his time nnd ener
gies to Its upbuilding with the result
that the system Is now on a profitable
basis and paying lnrge sums on the
Investment. He recently sold the
plant to the city 'of "Salem w hich w ill
operate It In the future. After dis
posing of his plant he has been look
ing the local plant over with a view
to acquiring It. It can readily bo
seen from this brief summary of his
pnst experience that Mr. Dow Is the
one man who can talk upon the sub
ject of waterworks nnd do so In nn
entertaining fashion nnd with a com
plete knowledge of his subject.
Speaking of tho condition which
he had to contend with here, he pre
faced his remarks by the statement
that he had abandoned his intention
of buying the local plant. This ho
slates Is occasioned by reason of the
fact that ho had found the city could
ot raise money enough under the
present laws to make a contract with
him for fire protection which would
not allow him enough to pay even
running expenses. Some time since
he submitted to the commercial club
a draft of a franchise ordinance and
a contract with the city which he
would like to have ratified in case he
took over the plant. The present
contract expires In the year 1912 and
the new contract which he hoped to
secure from the city provided for a
renewal of the contract at the present
rotes for hydrant rental, for a period
of ten years from tho date of its
expiration. This ho found the auth
orlzed levy would not allow. Under
the law In this state cities of this
clans are limited in their approprla
ton to a levy of five mills on the dol
lar for water purposes which on th
assessed valuation of this city would
ot raise enough money to pay the

Mr. Gurnie Thomas and Miss
Mary Sharp United at Oma
. ha' This' Afternoon.
This afternoon In Omaha the mar
riage of Mr. Gernie Thomas and Miss
Mary Sharp both of this city will be
solemnized, the two young people be
ing passengers on the afternoon train
for that city with the intention of
uniting themselves for life.
The young folks are very well and
favorable known-in this city, the
young lady having lived here all her
life. She is a handsome and refined
young woman, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Sharp of this city. She
Is very well and favorably known here
and has a wide circle of friends who
admire her many womanly traits and
excellent qualities SLe has been em
ployed in this city for some time past
in the capacity of stenographer for
the Olson Photograph company.
The groom is a worthy and able
young man who has made his home In
this city for a number of years but
who at present Is employed with a
shop in Omaha, he having a trade
which he has followed for several
years. He is a son of Mrs. Thomas
living In South Park In this city and
a yodng roan of most excellent quali
ties. He is industrious and a hard
working young man and Is generally
given a very high standing with all
who have known him. Like his
charming bride, he has a great many
friends.
The many good mutual friends of
this young couple will unite in ex
tending their best wishes to the young
people upon their venture upon thi
matrimonial seas. Their future home
will be in Omaha.
NOTICE If you wish to exchange
your property for other property no
matter what it is, list It with the
Windham Investment & Loan Co.
would take the present water system
and attempt to run It at the rate
which the levy allows It would be
sheer financial disaster to attempt it
Under these circumstances he did not
believe that he would consider, the
matter of taking the plant over and
operating It.
Reverting to this city and the
prospects that a water plant could be
made to pny here, Mr. Dow said that
he was not Impressed with the low
valuation on property which prevail
ed and he frankly confessed that he
did not understand why it existed
To his mind there must be something
radically wrong which could not be
seen on the surface. He believed that
conditions In the city could be chang
ed If tho city had an Influx of new
blood In It. Ho believed that If the
merchants of the city would wake up
and make a united effort for factories
In the city and not stop until they had
them, that this depressing state of
affairs would disappear. He referred
to the experience of his own town
Salem which but a few years back
look up the project of n newly arrlv
ed Herman emigrant and built the
llrst wire nail factory In ths country.
This factory proved the nucleus of
the Great American Steel and Wire
company of today nnd It affords em
ployment to many men In Salem. Ho
spoke of a motor boat works there
which spent thousands of dollars ev
ery year In tho community on build
ing something which was used on the
water when there was no water w ith
in hundreds of miles of that place.
These things could be done here If
the people took hold of them and
pushed them. If they secured
the factories and pushed Platts
mouth, it meant a big thing
for the water compnny but ho could
not wait until that happened and pay
In money Into the plant for years'.
If revenues could be provided to
keep the plant under way until the
factories had como In and tho plant
was then on a self-sustaining basis
then ho would not have hestltated to
Invest In it.
Mr. Dow reviewed at length the
history of tho Plnttsmouth Water
company and the vlslssltudes of the
bond-holders, who now owned the

Nothing in the way of a Cough U
quite so annoying as a tickling, team
ing, wheezing, bronchial Cough. Tie
quickest relief comes perhaps from
a prescription Known to Druggist
everywhere as Dr. Shoop's Cough
Remedy. And besides, it is so thor
oughly harmless that mothers give It
with perfect safety even to the youag
est babes. The tender leaves of a
simple mountain shrub, give to Dr.
Shoop's Cough Remedy its remark
able curative effect. A few days' test
will tell. Sold by all dealers.
In Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee, pure
healthful toasted grains, malt, nuts,
etc., are bo cleverly blended as to give
a wonderfully true coffee taste, color,
and flavor. And besides, Health Cof
fee goes a third farther than any
other kind. You actually get 100 full
cups from a 25c. 1 pound package.
And Health Coffee Is "madelnamln
ute." No 20 to 30 minutes tedious
boiling is at all necessary. And be
sides there is not a grain of real cof
fee In It. Sold by P. S. White.
