Prom Hard Experience, In a Missouri town, where a propo sition was on foot to establish a mu nicipal eiectrio light plant, there was a man who thought tbat it might be well to look before leaping. So be wrote to prominent citizens of several neighboring towns to find out whether their experience would confirm tbe rosy prospeuts held out by tbe advo cates of municipal ownership. The replies give so vivid a picture of aotual oondltlons that It Beemed a pity to allow them to be burled in the looal paper In whioh they were published, and they are accordingly TUNi-iuLuu ju siigniiy oonaeneea lorin, urunswiok about twelve years ago built an eleotiio plant and water works, and about a year and a half ago was very bappy to be able to sell the same for about 35 oenta on the dollar ot cost, taking tbe pay In light and water serv'oe. The ownership of the plant ran the olty in debt very muoh and the service wus not nearly eo satisfactory as it is now under private ownership; nor was It any cheaper. Our city ia now beginning lu uruwi out or aeot, maae Dy owning the light and water plant. You oould not give Brunswick suob a plant un der the condition tbat the city should run me ouBineBS. GEOKOE W. CUNNINGHAM. Brunswick, Mo. Mayor. 1 do not approve of a olty owning ita eieocrio iigncB. it nas been 1m possible here to keep It out of poll tios. We bave to stand miserable service and everything, "juat beoause n oeiongs co cue olty." A. E. ASBUKY. President Amerioan Bank, Higginsvllle, Mo. Municipal ownership has been flat failure for Rook Port. The light aua water pianc nas never paid run ning expenses. We would be only too glad to turn over our plant to a private concern ir we oouia ao so. JOSEPH DURFEE, Mayor. Rock Point, Mo. . About eighteen months ago tbe water, eleotrio light and power plant was puronasea Dy toe olty, tbe prloe paia Deing ciu.ouu bdouc one-ball ot Its oostj and 8100,000 in oity bonds were issued to nay for same, which left 832,600 to be spent in turther equipping tbe plant. TMB was soon gone and another bund issue of 810.000 was asked for and granted, with the assurance that tbia amount was all tbat would be needed to put ths plant in first clasB order. We have just be.n asked to vote another 830,000 in bonds or looBe what we bad already put in the plant. Under theBe oonditions the bond is sued carried by a light vote, the tax payers feeling that they could not afford to lose the whole plant. ii remains to ne seen woetoer this new issue will prove a permanent re lief. Thus far munioipal ownership has been anytning but a suocess witb us, and 1 do not tnink it will be in tbe future. R. B. PRICE. President Boone County National Bank, Columbia, Mo. From what we know of munloinal ownership do not think it for tbe best interests 01 tne olty or tbe taxoayers. Present plant here does not give near ly tbe satiafaotlon under munioipal ruie tnat tne zormer oompany gave. w. '. tiuakd. Jr.. President Rloh Hill Bank. Kloh Hill, Mo. I was mayor at installation of onr plant and advocated oity ownershirj, This plant has never Daid. aa we were compelled to make too low a rate to get customers. Beware of suoh an error. Munioipal scheme all right if your oitizenB are publto-spirited and will give time to management of affairs as to tneir own business. ip uiroEiv Holden, Mo. From the experience we bave had in munioipal ownership of tbe light plant in luiian i wouia say tnat 1 prefer pri vate ownership and that I so voted when the question of the sale of our plant was submitted to the voters. We believe that private owners al ways live better attention to such business than can possibly be obtain ed from public officials, who have business of their own to look after. ISAAC GU1NN. President First National Bank. Milan, Mo. Captured Two Wolves. W. W. Parker and A. W. Elam, wbo have been cruising a lot of timber in tbe upper Rogue river and Butte oreek sections, oame in Tuesday, Mr. Elam having been oalled to California. They varied the monotony of estimat ing timber by hunting wild animals and succeeded in killing a big timber wolf, one of the most savage and vo raoioua ahimals tbac roam the woods, and capturing two wolf pups alive. There was a third one, but It escaped. These pups are only a few weeks old, but show their vicious disposition by snapping and snarling at everyone wbo comes near them. Mr. Parker will endeavor to dispose of them to Borne menagerie or city park, and should bave no little trou ble in so doing, as the genuine tim ber wolf, in captivity, is a rare thing. While hunting for a panther trail one day the dogs jumped a spotted fawn and, but for the fact that the little animal ran direot to the two men, would have killed It. They brought the fBwn to Mr. Parker's home on Butte oreek, where it is now a house hold pet, beooming quite gentle, and Is seomlngly oentented with its sur toundings. Notice to Redmen.
