CHEAP POWER.
Ctal 6as a Great Success In Power
Plait.
Councllnicn Warren and Wolfe mntlo
a.n investigating trip Saturday and
Sunday to Holdrege, MeCook and
Cambridge, in the interest of better
vntl cheaper power for the Red Cloud
water-works and the eleetrie light
plant soon to be installed. Their in
vestigations were principally of the
oiloffuel for power purposes At
ach place visited they found gas pro
duclng plants in operation at a cost so
far below the cost of coal and steam
plants that th-ey are hardly to be men
tioned in the same breath.
At Holdrege, where for years the
water-works had been operated with
ojil and steam at a loss, they changed
s gas power, using a coal gas pro
ducer, and last year the net profits
from the plant amounted to 83,200.
"They still use coal and steam at the
electric light plant there at a cost of
3-bout $12 a day for coal.
At McCook they visited a large elc
wator when a gas producing plant was
used, and the owners of the elevator
were unstinted in their praise of the
economy and efficiency of that plan of
producing power.
Mr. Warron and Mr. Wolfe stopped
at Cambridge Sunday, night, where the
electric light plant is operated by a
coal jjas power plant. The streets arc
lighted With 32-candle power incan
descent ligh8 at every intersection
.-save one, where there is an arc light.
Mr- Warren said the incandescent
Titrtset lights were a revelation to him.
The streets were well lighted, the
light being white and clear. At the
power plant 'hey found the engineer
t -who gave them figures and details,!
-concerning the cost of the coal gas
fuel plan of operation which are al
utost beyond belief. The engineer of
fered to run the plant as late as the
visitors cared to watch it, saying, "It
St cost anything, anyway." The
yl used there is Wyoming coal, and
--t a cost of less than 81 the plant
could be operated all night. At Hoi
tirege a hard coal slack is used.
Mr. Warren and Mr. Wolfe were
tooth very favorably impressed with
ke gas producer fuel process and so
ireported to the council. However, it
cs desired to obtain the opinion of
-Sokn Martz, the expert who will have
obarge of the erection cf the electric
tight plant, before any definite step is
taken.
Stmti the Runaways.
Frank Etherton made a good stop of
jl runaway team Friday evening. Dr.
Ashtir'H team broke loose from their
moorings somewhere in the north part
ti town, came down Elm street,
fturned the corner at the Holland
house and started west. At the cor
Her of Webster and Fourth street,
Frank Etherton ran into the street,
grabbed one of the horses by the bit
siad Iiame, rmlled them in toward the
walk and. held on to them until he
.-stopped them in front of Tiik Ciiikk
rifficc They narrowly missed the big
trees in front of the Newhouse build
ing. It was a very brave uct one
that not one man in a thousand would
try, and could not successfully
uite if they did try.

THIEVES ARtESTED,

Hake AMtker Caftare.
Tuesday morning Sheriff Hedge and
Marshal Kinscl arrested Jim McKis
slck and Joe McKeang, two young
men wanted at Republican City for
stealing harness. On Monday these
young men hired a livery team In
Alma and drove to the country and
stole some harness from a farmer.
They drove to Republican City, where
they turned the harness over to the
railroad company for shipment, and
then they boarded the train leaving
the livery team tied to a telegraph
pole In Republican City. The officers
here received word to be on the look
out for them, and when they arrived
lere they were quickly arrested. The
sheriff of Harlan county came down
Wednesday morning and took the
prisonkrs back to Alma on the next
train.
Just why all the criminals from the
counties up west should head for Red
Cloud Is a mystery, especially when It
Is a cinch that they can not cret nast
Sheriff Hedge and Marshal Klnsel. It
may be that they have heard of the
good board and lodging furnished by
Webster county to its guest of honor.

RAISE THE RITE.
The Water Rate In Red Cloud Unreas
onably Low.
Nowhere In the state of Nebraska
Is the water rate so low as It Is In Red
Cloud. People who use a thousand
gallons of water per month pay 82.40
a year for the privilege and think
they are being robbed.
How would you like to live In Mc
Cook, where It would cost you ten
times as much for the privilege. The
rate for water service in McCook is
82.7.1 per quarter or Sll per annum for
a live room residence. In addition, if
you wish to sprinkle your lawn you
pay 810 extra for the six summer
months, making a total of S21. Then
If you keep a cow or a horse, you would
have to pay extra for that. In Mc
Cook the water Is pumped from the
Republican river and the supply Is
inexhaustible.
What we would like to see In this
city Is a ilat rate of SO cents per
month for every hydrant. If the
consumer uses more than a thousand
gallons a month, then a rate of 20
cents a thousand gallons for the first
additional thousand, and a graduated
rate for the larger consumers, Ily
this plan but very few consumers
would pay more than SO a year for
their water, while none would pay
less than that amount. At nrusent.
many consumers get off for less thun
S2 a year, and If It Is not worth .10
cents a month to have city water it is
not worth a cent.
Under the present system property
owners who do not use the city water
and some who have no fire protection
whatever are made to bear a share of
the burden. It Is unjust to them as
well as to the city administration and
we would like to see a change made
that would put the water plant on a
self-sustaining basis.

No Longer an
Impossibility
The idea that has become general that first class building material
could no longer be had is certainly knocked out, when you take a
look at the complete line of clear Soft Pine Finish and Siding
carried in stock by
Saunders Brothers
of Red Cloud, Neb. What is also pleasing to the buyers of Lumber
and building material is the fact that their prices are reasonable,
and they guaranteo a MQUA HK DKAL. They also have a nice
line of Oak, Hickory and Poplar Wagon Material. See their Shin
gles. You can not help but admire them.
The members of this enterprising firm, assisted by plenty of
excellent help, are always glad and take pleasure in showing to the
public this nice stock.
