A. J. VANANTWKKI1.
The ci'ty ' waterworks is now
over $5,000.00 in debt. If that is
to be taken as a criteria ! ! of
what the result would be in case
the city was to own and operate
an electric light plant we better
vote on April ( > th for granting an
electric light franchise to a cor
poration.
The announcement of the can
didacy of A. J. Van Antwerp for
county surveyor is published in
this issue. Van Antwerp.lias ;
been deputy surveyor for three
years and has had a lot of valua
ble experience which would be an
asset to vim if he is elected sur
veyor.
No one can fully estimate the
value of such letters as have
lately been received at this office.
Words of
commendation are
words of encouragement , and are
dear to the heart of the editor
and publisher ; but not more dear
than kindly , whole-hearted cirti-
cism. The faults of the Kin-un-
T.ICAN , pointed out to the editor
by a thoroughly interested sub-
scrbar , will be for its improve
iiK-nt acd your benttit. V/e re-
Mi what a vaiu hopo' it would
be , to o.pcect to plcube every1 ,
subscriber all the time ; jet we
do hope to please them most
of the titue. It is our highest
ambition , to serve them well.
Our country arid town are
making rapid strides , all along
the line , in the path of proceeds
and we feel we must keep pace ,
if we would fulfil our mission , as
a representative town and county
paper.
VOII : TDK fill : rilANCIIISP.
The city council in submitting
the cleclral franchise to a vote
of the people has ahown a dis
position to regard the wishes of
the people an heitig of first im
portance in any mailer which af
fects Hit' people so vitally as the
granting of a franchise does.
The { ranting of the Iranchibe
will mean that the council has
taken action which will affect
the city not only to-day but for
yearn to com- : . ' 1 he franchise
which the council has drawn up
malcta it imposible for the com
pany receiving it to put in any
thing hut the most up-to-date
plant and one which will gtow
as the city grows and furnish
the power for all its demands.
The franchise is an excellent one
and the only thing for the people
to determine is whether they
want clectiic lights and -want
them to be furnished by a cot-
poralion.
Considering the condition ol
the 'city's franchises and the
further fact that the chances
arc good for the school district
lo be bonded to the limit , it i
appcarant that it would be in
advisable at this time to vle
bonds for the putting in of at
electric plant. The $7,500.01
which has been collected as an
electric light fund has been used
by the council for other purposes
and that amount would have
to be raised from some other
source before it could be used to
install a plant.

TO CHANGE
THE COLOR
of your house once in a
while is a good idea. It
makes it look new , besides
it prevents decay. Only the
best
PAINTS AND OILS
should be used. Some
Paints are worthless ,
neither preserving or pro
tecting. They are made of
poor Oils and poor White
Lead. We arc not offering
that kind. The Paints we
have are worthy of the ful
lest confidence. We guaran
tee our Paints not to peel ,
crack , or wear off until they
have done their full duty.
