Sc:H there are people in the comi

house, get inferior goods, with no
chance of examination and with
frclgi: or express added, pay more
than they could have bought hon
e.v.er goods for here in. Enterprise.
Maybe somebody has sent for a

low priced watches. Any jeweler
will tell you they are the best value

And you see the watch before

BAR TO PROGRCSS.
The s'-ctemacts by Mr. Forsythe
of tiie Electric Light company are
convincing on the point of the re
puted offer of current from en ou
slde source. The patrons of th.-P-aat
and the town generally are
giad to hear the company has plenty
of "Juice." even - without , the im
provement thai Mr. Forsythe says
will be made next year.
This being the case, the demand
for a day current will bo the more
insistent and Just, for no one want
ed to auk for what was beyond th
power of the company to furnish.
Enterprise probably the only
town of ins rank and importance in
the Northwest where there is no
day lighting end power service.
L:i't it a shame to the town, that
with cheap power all around us go
ing to waste, power should be so ex
pensive ia this city, and thmt thoc-e
who want it have to resort to old,
out-of-date means to get It- How
ccn we expect to build up little in
dustries in our city, or make good
the claims made ta our advertising
slips, if there is no power to offer,
and never will be until a profit
tan be shown the company from the
start?
Belllngham, Vn., has some taxes
to raise, and it fe proposed to get
the money by taxing honest in
dustries, a meeting of business men
called to define what clasa of work
ingmen should be taxed was captured
by some wicked working people, who
passed resolutions favoring the tax
ing of professional men and bank.i.
It is dollars to doughnuts that a lot
of vacant and shack-covered lots in
that city are assessed at one-fifth
the figures placed on them when
ever somebody wants to une them.

MPRACTICABLE
MANAGER LOCAL ELECTT.iC COM
PANY STATES OTHER SIDE
OF POWER QUESTION.
E. J. Forsythe, manager of .the En
terprise Electric Light company,
nates enipliari. -ally tliat no ofror
rrf current has bean maile bis ctmi!
ativ by anyone, that was reasonable
and practicablw.
About two years ago .the Joseph
company cam? at the local company
with a propositicn someihiiig Hke this:
The local company to build a line to
loseph and buy current from the
Joseph company at 4 cents per kilo
watt, measured in Joceph, 1 he con
tract to run three years, ami the Jos
eph company not boing required to
furnish over pw kilowatts at a time.
The terms of the proposition were
unreasonable, claim3 Mr. Forsythe.
The cost of the line would have
''etui $40) a?ul the buyer would have
hod to stand all the line lost, cos,t
if transformers, ate.
Even if the terms had not made
the proposition out of the question.
Mr. Forsythe claims the whole pro
ject is impracticable not a feasible
scheme at all.
Furthermore, Mr. Forsythe says.
It is uniieoesaary. His company has
all the power needed to lirrht the
Pity and furnish their customers
with all the juice they want during
running hours of the plant.
The local company is planning about
SS.000 worth of Improvements next
vcar, Mr. Forsythe says, but no
lay current will be given until in
the company's opinion there will be
profit in Its operation.
Mr. Forsythe says the impression
hat his company assumes an inde
;endent, public be d d, attitude is
wrong; that he and it are always
ready to meet the patrons more than
half way on any proposal of merit
nd equity to both sides.
