At the next meeting of the city council the matter of hiring nn expert to make an electrical survey of the city will again coma up , nnd a committee from the Economic league will be present to urge the council to take affirmative action. So far as can be learned , n majority of the city council are In favor of letting the contract for lighting the city with gas and electric light to the present company , whoso charter expired about six years ngo , nnd whose contr.tct expires In a llttlo less than three months. The representatives of the Economic league claim not to have any particular prejudice against the Council Bluffs Uas and Eli'Ctrlc Light company , but to bo merely Insisting that the rates for light shall be brought down to somewhere within reasonable fig ures. ures.Tho work of"nn expert , they clilm , Is necessary to determine Just what Is n rea- sonab'c ' figure The council at Its last meet ing voted down the question of engaging nn expsrt , because It was represented to them that he would charge $25 per day for the four days' work It would take to nmUe the survey and the plats. Those who have been Investigating the subject afsert that It Is possible for good gas to be furnished a cost not to exceed 50 cents per 1,000 for heating and $1 per 1,000 for llghtlirg , while the public now has to pay $1 GO nnd $2. A corresponding reduction should bo made In the cost of nrc lights , mid the result would bo a tremendous reduc tion In the amount , of taxation There Is onn o'cmcnt of opposition to the plan of shutting out tlie Council Bluffs nnd Electric Light company which has not been tal.pn Into account very much , but has tx- crted a powerful Influence. There are now on deposit In the various city banks , It Is claimed , more than $200,000 worth of the company's bonds , held by the banks ns se curity for money loaned In years put Those bonds furnish all the security HIP Innks have , and If nny wni were made on the compiny , It Is easy to see that the batiks would find themselves out of pocket to the amount of the depreciation In the com pany's stock. All the citizens of Council Blurts who are financially Interes''d In the banks nre consequently opposing "he Idea of awarding the contract to any company excepting the one now In existence. It Is likely that the agitation will result In nn appreciable reduction of the tolls now charged. The following communication received at The Bee office jcstcrday bears upon the sub ject : WHAT A CITIZEN THINKS. COUNCIL BLUFFS , July 19. To the Editor of The Bee- March 12 , ISO I , the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric Light company ad dressed the following communication to the city olllclals"To the Mayor of Council Bluffs , In. ' Under the contract for lighting the city , bearing date September 17 , 1SS9 , It Is provided as follows4 " 'It Is further agreed that the city of Council Bluffs shall have the hole option , on the cxplintlon of live jtars , to extend this contract for the term of five years more. It Is also provided that the company shall de mand of said city In writing , six months before the expiration of this contract , whether It Intends to exercise the option of extending this contract as herein or not. ' "March 11 , 1S9I , Is six months before the expiration of said contract. The undersigned company hereby agrees to the five year ex- tcns'on ' of tald contract on the terms and conditions therein found and hereby requests the city to decide by proper order whether It Intends to exercise the option of extending this contract as therein agreed , and If It will do so. - , "Under the present contract for lighting the city , dated September 17 , 1SS9 , the price per lamp for 1890 was J100 ; 1S91 , $93 ; 1S92 , $9G ; 1893 , $94 ; 1S9I , $92. If the contract is extended five jears , the price will be : For 1893 , $90 ; 1S9G , $ SS ; 1S97 , $80 ; 1S98 , $84 ; 1899 , $82 , nnd the company Is compelled to pur chase the Iron towers owned by the city at $520 cnch. " u * . * , v Whal are you city officials Intending to do In this matter ? The sum of $90 per year for a lamp that burns but little more than halt the time looks like a good deal of money. It ought to bo Inveitlgated. The committee appointed by the city coun cil , aided by that appointed by the Economic club , has had a good deal of correspondence , accumulated a good deal of data , but the only official that has read any of It Is Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Hauss , an electrical eng necr of Cincinnati , 0. , writes Mr. Nicholson that the "average cost of pro ducing a 2,000 candle power arc lamp In this country Is $6 per lamp per month. " That Is the average co t of a lamp burning all night not half the night. The cost In clude' ' ] nil expenses , Inclusive of Interest upon the Investment. Now , It Is clear that If the average cost of producing this light Is but $72 per annum for n lamp burning all night nnd every night , $90 per year for a lamp burning but little more than half the night can only bo Jtibtlfied by showing this to be aery ex ceptional town. Wlio says that ? What are his reasons for saying It ? Why are the city officials acting , nppirently , on the theory that this Is aery exceptional place ? If they ha\e Information to that effect why not disclose It ? SUBSCRIBER. Iriiln * for I.nUo Miumuii. Leave Broadway : i . 10 a. m. 2 p. m. 5 p. m. And every 22 minutes thereafter until 11 55 p. m.

D. , J/uly / 1C. ( Special Cor- rcspondence. ) Mono of I Ho tymptoms of business depression , fliiancl.il stringency or conmierclnl lethargy prevailing to a greater or less extent throughout the country arc to bo detected In this thriving m tlrcpubllc city In this exceedingly democratic summer of 1S9I. Bustle , push , development and lin- piovcmcnt constitute the order of the da ) , and under the Impetus of this steiuly progres sion the foundation of a Ihe and prosperous city has been well laid. S tuated as It Is at the edge of the Ulack Hills , with the mnrvoloualy rich peaks and hollo\v3 of that wonderful region stretching away 100 miles to the northward , and tens of thousands of acres of river valley and bench lands rolling far to the west , east and south , oflorlng unuiuulled Inducements for agriculture and grazing , ndgemonl pos sesses natural advantages that cannot be exceeded , and It Is upon these and their In telligent development that her c tlren * have so ( Irmly and happily pinned their faith. The Initial move was made b > the railroad company , as Is almost Invariably the case In tne opening up or a new country , and the town of Edgemont , slgnlfjlng , as the name Implies , "tho edge of the mountain , " was thus born. Us location made It of necessity a Junc tion point , and because of Its many advan tages and the future that was apparent for It , the 11 A. M. company seized tlmo by the forelock and made It u division terminus , locating here Its round house and all the plant and equipment necessary for the opera tion of Us Ul.uk Hills division. Prom lodgement the nnd was built to Newcastle , where the great Cambrl.i coal mines were at once opened up , affording con stant omploj incut to 400 men nnd having an output of 1,000 tons per day , or ne.\rl > 500- 000 tons annually. The rapid development of the 1111 s country called for almost Immo- iHate further extension of the lines , and from lodgement a line was built to Ueadwood lodgement's twin sister on the north et'gs ' of the Hills , cutting almost exactly In twain what President Marvin Hnghltt of the Chicago & Northwestern , cnaracterlzes as , "the rlcheit 100 miles squat c of territory In the world , " Away to the northeastward diving still deeper into the heart of the hills , another branch line was built to Hot Springs , that wonderful health and pleasure resort so aptly denominated "the Carlsbad of America , " the future of which e.-cn the most sangulno cannot adequately foretell. Such Is the location of Ecgemontwith reference to the Black Hills , literally nnd In fact the gateway city Uirough which must come the untold millions of bin led treasure now barely hidden Trom view , and certain , with the recent Improvements In reduction processes , to bo speedily uncovered and placed upon the markets of the world All but two of the knQwn minerals are found In paying quantities In the Ulack Hills , nnd the extension of the railroad has rendered localltic.3 now accessible and susceptible of working that were hitherto barred for that very reason. illn Ing experienced a setback , as did all other Industales i nnd branches of business , but It Is now picking up rapidly , and there Is mere placer gold mining going on In the Hills today than , over before. The gold output will clotely approximate $6,000- 000 this jcar. Tha natural outlet for all this wealth of mineral and t precious metal is Gdgemont , and more especially InIew of the certain contact Uiero"wlth the coal and coke from Newcastle ; the latter being of a quality that Is hot exceeded any A hero In the world. It Is burneU In large quantities nnd renders the location of a large smelter at Edgenipnt as certain 'Ifs any of the un known posslblllfles of the near future. The cost of Shipment of cither coal or ore to that point Is very slight , as It Is a down grade , and the coal trains from Newcastle are made up of fifty loaded cars , bearing 2,000 tons of the black fuel , vvhllo the same is true of the grade on the Deadwood line , Im mense ore trains to ndgemont being possi bilities , vvhllo seven or eight loaded cars Is the limit the other way. OTHER PROMISING FEATURES. But while certain to profit Immeasurably from the mineral wealth of the Hills , Edge- mont la not depending solely upon that for her future growth nnd prosperity. That Is merely an Incident that wld contribute to her coming greatness , for agriculture In the surrounding valleys promises ns much for this little city ns the mining In the adjacent hills. The soil of the valleys and higher bench lands Is of tha kind to make glad the heart of the husbandman , water being the only essential for a heavy crop that Is not natur ally furnished In abundance. This year Its lack Is not apparent , for it has been the wettest season ever known In the Hills country and crops arc all that could bo desired. Corn , grass , small grain nnd vegetables are of a quality that would at tract attention at a state fair. This simply shows what the soil will do under favorable conditions , and It may bo stated hero that favorable conditions for good crops will exist In the vicinity of Edgemont hence forth. Regardless of the rainfall , soil tillers In the Cheyenne valley will be strangers to drouth , for the Edgemont company has Just about com pleted n $00,000 Irrigation nnd power canal , and Is going Into the crop Insurance business on a large scale. The canal taps the Chey enne river fourteen miles above the city , Just below the mouth of Beaver Creek , swings over to the edge of the bench lands , and Its mains and laterals will Irrigate 10,000 acres of as pretty bottom land as the summer sun ever shone nbove , while below the city the tall race will furnish the water for 2,000 acres more. But the Edgemont company , made up of capitalists with not only the perspicacity to foresee the possibilities of the future and the brains to plan for them , but the money as well to put those plans Into execution , did not stop with the building of an Irrigation canal. It was made for a slzo to furnish power , ami factories destined to lo cate In this promising section of the great northwest will find hero 10,000 natural horse po-.7er developed for the use of man. But It was not the In tention to write In this article of the canal and the seventy-two loom woolen mill now In course of erection , nor of the train load of machinery from Philadelphia now block ing the loner railroad yaras and waiting to bo placed In position In the mill as soon as completed. The same Is true of the sheep raisers of this section , who arc al ready negotiating cpntracts with the manu facturers for their reason's clipping , of drouth-suffering farmers who arc seeking new locations In the Irrigated Chcyonnc valley ; of the scores of now buildings now In course of erection ; of the grading of streets , and the many evidences of metro- polltanlsm that this wonderful llttlo city Is rapidly putting on ( In , fact , of what has been done to Increase Edgemonfs popula tion from 300 to 1,100 In three months , and of what will mako'lt ' a city of G.OOO people Inside of three years. As Mr. Kipling says , , "that Is another story. " Edgomont Is undoubtedly to bo congratu lated In having BO wealthy and enterprising a corporation as the Edgemont company be hind It , as It Is thus put In a position to more speedily realize Ha hopes , but the confidence In Its future Is by no means confined to the members of that company The actual citizens of the town arc largely from central nnd weitcrn Nebraska and from other towns In the Hills. They are thoroughly Informed as to surrounding con ditions and the possibilities of the future , and they are banking on that confidence to the extent of putting every dollar they can get hold of Into real estate , Even the men working their teams on the cam ) construc tion work put part of their earnings Into land , batlsfled that with assured crop * , fac tories with cheap power and the Increased population that each would bring , there could be but one outlook for ndgemont realty.
