more homes bave gone up In Everett

and yet there has been no boom. One
year ago last August there was not a

Thl ha been a very rainy day, yet,

lively apiH-arauee, aud buslue seem
active. The Fall City Hotel I well
patronised, and numeroiia guest are,
at the present time, accommodated by
the genial host, Mr. Hallowed.
Falls City Is most romantically situ
ated, and must eventually become a
greut place of resort for those In search
of health aud pleasurable enjoyment.
We may reniiln here another day, and
if we do so, we will endeavor to collect
facts lor publication which may prove
of Interest to the reader of theWuaT
Siuk. The WkT Sltrn I spoken of lu
terms of commendation.
Fulls City ha Improved oonslderohly
since our lust visit to thl place about
one year ago. There have been twenty-
five or thirty ucw building erected
beside the line sclxsil building, which
Is a model of architecture, and should
be a source of pride to any locality.
The way Improvement are going on
here, Independence will have to look to
her laurels ere ihcy are eclipsed by this
enterprising oily.
Leaving Indeiendenco early Mon
day morning, after a four hour tedloue
ride we arrived at Falls City, and wo
are comfortably and pleasantly domi
ciled at present writing with our friend
F. K. Hubbard. He, and Joe K. Hub
bard, of 1 mlcpciidonce, are tbe nous of
Hev. David Hubbard, now dccMssed.
David Hubbard was one of the earliest
Baptist preachers in Oregon, and
wwked for nuiny years for the I onelit
of the people of the Luckhuuute valley.
He was a liberal and generous hearted
man, and his sons are characterized by
the same noble traits.
The people of Falls City are enter
prising and are ready at all times to
lake bold of anything that will advance
the Interests of the place, The motor
line, or the extension of a railroad to
this place, Is a project most seriously
engaging Ibeir attention at this time
Ah we rode along, viewing the rich and
fertile extent of country, lying between
Independence and this polut, weoould
but be well assured In our mind, that
It was but a question of time when
such au enterprise would be consum
mated. Let this question be brought
home to every Individual, separately
and collectively, and thus hasten the
time for Its speedy completion,

Eiu iou Wixt Sink: 1 wish to pri
nt a few thoughts through your
paT, to the public, oil the matter of
Icetrlo lights III our clly. Tlie ludi-
iH'iiileuee fleet rlc light company have
a splendidly cqulpiHtl jsiwer station,
ne hundred horse power boiler,
plenty of flrt-claN dyuauiis, and has
capaclly sulllcleut to light every
house In liiileK'udcnv. I uuderstaud
that they are well salUtlcd at the stiii-
sirt given tbctu by the hulncHS men
of Ibe (own, but think, they are not
is'lng fairly treated by the residence
srlloii of the town. There aivjtwo
sides lo every question, and while the
leetrle light company may argue I hat
their mles are as low us they can nfl'ord
lo make theiu, the public evidently
think oiltcrwlse. The eoutiinny muk
ehnrge of S for one light, and
uilf a dollar eaeh additional light in a
residence. To light even a iiuuible
house of live riKiius thoroughly It
would require live lights, aud thus
the ex'iiv would amount to $3.85 a
month, and that Is more than the
ordinary householder can allbnl, and
Is more than he should he culled upon,
lomy. Dr. O. D. Butler bus recently
lifted a new house, nod has, we
mlcixtund, twenty lump lu Ids house.
lie lias a meter, put In at his own ex
pense, and pay for only Just what be
uses. He has lights in every Mom,
and even lu. the wood-died, and last
mouth his bill was moderate, Bocuune
be has twenty lumps In bis bouse It
dis's not follow that lie burns twenty
lumps. He will probably burn a lump
In his parlor three hours of an evening,
light one In bis ls-drooui for a few
minutes while retiring, and the rest of
the time ihe lights are not burning.
I fa family bus ten lights tu a house,
the aggregate iiniount of electricity
consumed will not amount to as inucli
as one single lamp burning until
twelve o'clock in a store, then why
should tlie house holder pay for lights
that cither never bum, or If so, tire
lighted for a few minute only. A
lump can U curried from room to
room, and one lump serve to light a
whole bouse, but It, require separate
amp in the ease of electricity. .We
think If the electric light company
would look at, the mutter from that
standpoint they would sec that the
numlvcr of Limps should be sulucleiit
to light the whole house, and all
above those used every evening should
be charged only a small rate, sny loo a
month, thus a house having live lights
would pay only $l.Ho a month, and
almost every house lu town would
discharge lumps and use electricity.
Of course the electric light company
will claim that they could not ull'iinl
to furnlslt the light tit t hat price. We
would like to hear from the company
through your columns, and have them
state wherein our nrgumciit is doing
theiu an Injustice,. ',
Wo understand that a petition is
shortly to be presented asking that
the lights he burned all night in our
clly. In many eases It Is as important
to huvc a light, lu the morning as the
evening, und yet 11' the rates tire to be
Increased the patronage will decrease.
We assume that t he property owner
wires his own house, consequently the
only additional expense there would
be If every bouse In Independence
were lighted by electricity, would lie
tlie additional power required.' One
hundred more l'uniillcs using lights
would menu tin additional Income ol
$200 a month. HoUHioitobiiKH.
