Makes Tentative Proposal
v Current Question.
Z' Editor Newi-P.:ord: The various
Z eruptions of inlormaion aad B3'n
J iorma.t:tm appearing in law issues
of y0ur paper on the cubject ot day
Z current, etc, for Enterprise puts
me 5ii much the same frame of mind
teat I presume existed in the naiad of
of the good old B&ptJst Elder when
Z at the moraiug sorvice after reading
Z a. part of St. Paul's lsc. Luer to
J i tbe Corir.thians, ra ier startled the
J worsa-ppers by cioslrig the Book.
uikitig a survey of the congregation
i over hia glaases aad said, "Now.
w , brethren, you have hearn what Paul
Z' has to say about that; now listen
: ; while I take a rough shot at k."
w i CrotherGaUow-ay has seen V. to
Z air h't peculiar views on thJ e-"iric
situation; hence I ask permission to
I "tke a rough shot" at the proposi-
'.ion, hoping that I tncy be able to
shed a few rays of light on several
questions that, seem to be entangled
i in the cobwebs of Ida understanding.
Firstiy, the offer of the Joseph
Electric Co., to sell us their surplus
current was not "exorbitant" but at
a price that I think was as low as
ther would be jusified in asking;
hence they need ot be brought In
to this discussion, but after eonsid-
vlee would require an investment
in apparatus out of til proportion
to benefits derived from the arrai.g
luecr.; and furthermore we have no"
nor do we now Deed to buy current.
Now as to the proposition of day
current you say that. "Enterprise
is probably the only town, of ias
rank and importance iu the North
west, where there is no day lighting
aad power service." Well wouldn't
such a statement dis.urb the bats
in your belfry? I will say and refer
you to Al authority chat there is
:.ot a town in the entire United
States of JJke "rank and importance"
or population, that has day survive
except such as are situated within
zones covered by large companies.
You unders'.and my assertion is chat
no town in United Scat of "like
rank and importance" or population
ia supplied regular day service by
local company catering to 6a id town
alone. If I na wrong n this,
please name the town and I will
promptly take wjer. My authority
for this is McGraw's Electrical Di
rectory, also & write-up in the
Electrical Record about one year ago
of what purported to be the minute
history of smallest town in U. E.
holding this distinction and this ac
count was referred to and comment
ed on by all the trade Journals and
surprise expressed at the showing
made This was a town in natural
ca field of Ohio of 1500 inhabitants
and was buSt up of small factories.
This plant supplied lbt and power
for these factories and the basis
of their success was natural gas.
As I remember, their output for
lighting load was something less
than 100 kilowatts, while their power
loed was about 450 k w. For sake
of comparison let us compare the de
mands of this town and Enterprise,
and Just bear in mind while doing so
that power load is very much more
profitable and more sought after by
J- wear, tear and other incidentals .
Further, I uever made the state
ment that the Enterprise Electric
Co. would not furnish day service
iii it would pay a profit. The com
pany is jus: as anxious for the time
c arrive when they can see actual
:a.in cost in the proposition as any
rie else, and more so. I feel safe
n saying that the company would
-vea be willing to stand a loss for
i time if they thought it would be
the means of building up the busi
ness. Now in closing just a word about
"-hat "cheap power all around us go
ing to waste." Thats the part of
your various eruptions that really
interest me, you bet! Thai, sounds
I tood. As our illustrious Ex-Preeldent
T. R.wouId say, "That's Bully."
That's what I have sought for sever
al weary years, "and mourned because
I found k not." Say, Bro'her, Just
take a sneak with me some fine
morntog and point out that "cheap
power" and in consideration of same.
1 hereby agree aad covenant to take
.vou ia on the ground floor, also to
fumiah you all needful power to set
up and print such, and various com
munications as this, free of all charge
eiier day or nighty even if compel
led to turn the machinery -by hand;
and I feel sure of having to do the
haud turn act, if depending on that
"choap power."
If my memory serves me right,
this is my first offence as a writer
for publication, and I hereby agree
not to offend again; anyway not till
we get that "cheap power" going,
except always, that the provocation
be very great.
