The Water Company have conclud-
ed that they cannot afford to put in
electric light unless they can contract
for about 500 lights. While other
places, with less population and with
not nearly 50 good prospects for the fu-
ture, are contracting for electric. light.
Salina does not seem TO be awake ON
this question. The Water Company
does not propose 10 do anything about
the matter unless they can make it
self-supportlng. They are not ex-
pected to become martyrs in our be-
half, but are ready 10 do fully their
part. Abilene will soon loom up with
Edison lamps alb over the city, and
then we shall certainly become COM
pletely ashamed Of our lack Of enter
prise 10 this regard.

AS to the condition OF the winter
wheat since it has become uncovered
by the suns rays, there is a variety OF
testimony. Some dOlOrously main
tain that il has been badly injured.
We are glad TO know that this class is
very small. Others claim that the
crop will be fair, and some that it will
be very good. Locality no doubt has
much 10 do IN governing the testimo-
ny. 1t was reported during the Sc
verest weather that the fields were
well covered with snow. We learn
since, however, that in some localities
there was very little snow upon the
fields. One thing IN favor Of q good
prospect for the crop is that It starts
in with plenty Of moisture in the
ground, and will not therefore be sub
jected 20 to the usual difficulty Of
spring freezing and lhawing while
the earth is dry aud loose about the
roots. 1t is TO be admitted that the
wheat now does not present the best
appearance above ground. but there Is
nothing 10 indicate that life Is extinct
aoOut the roots few warm days

bly,.
