CHEAP POWER.
An Excellent Opening for Small Indus
tries in Dawson.

!
lawson electric light plant, if properly
utilized, will prove a blessing to our
city in the way of encouraging small
enterprises.
MT Z. q. Barefoot, who is ut the head
of the electric light works for Dawson
informs the News that it is not intended
TO make close corporation of the com
pany, and that he will be highly pleased
and gratified to receive applications for
shares from any and every Citizen of
Dawson who has the welfare and progress
of the city at heart.
Mr.. BarfOot says he will endeavor 70
make it the prime interest of the COM
pany to develop small enterprises by
renting power, such as may be required
by customers for any manufacturing or
other purposes, as it can be supplied
cheaper through the medium of an cleo
tric plant than small Industries can sup
ply themselves
Special offers will be made to the
churches OF the city to supply them with
electric light, which would exceed the
cost of the present method of lighting
them but little An effort will also be
made to induce the opera house to adopt
the electric lights.
The News hopes to see much good
come from this opportunity to Dawson.
Nothing builds up city more rapidly
and on substantial basis than small
manufactures, and Dawson will now
have fine chance to develop them.
Let everybody come together and push
Dawson while the tide is at its flood!

1t seems that the no fence law in the
Forks is of no force.
The supreme Court has decided in two
cases that no fence laws, except when
adopted by a vote of the people in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the gen.
eral local option fence law, are ''uncon-
stitutional and void"
A void law is no law at all. The diff
erence between that which is void and
that which is simply voidable is too
plain to need enforcement by argument
This being the case, it is plain that the
no fence law now in fore in part of Ter
rell county is of no more force than if it
had never been enacted"

1t required two-thirds of the vote cast
to carry the election for bonds, and 1t
will be seen from the above that bonds
received 53 more votes than the Necessary
two-thirds.
1t is Judge Guerrys duty to appoint
three commissioners to superintend the
building of the structure, and since the
election he has been beseiged by num-
Der OF applicants. The salary of these
commissioners will be fixed by the next
grand jury. Judge Query has not yet
1ully determined who he will appoint.
but W, b. Oxford, w. B. Cheatham and
VIM. Kaigler will probably be the three.
The appointments will be made this
week and the county commissioners
viii meet next Monday to swear them in
and take a 5000 bond from each of
them for the faithful performance of
their duties.
The eastern part of the square will
probably be kept by the county and the
the new temple of justice located on the
northeastern corner where the city hall
now stands.
The western half will be sold. 1t will
bring about $4,000, and only $4,000
worth of bonds will have to be sold to
build $4,000 court house.

THE REAL ESTATE SITUATION,
recent Deals Aargue Its Great De-
maud.

The real estate transactions that have
recently been made in Dawson are a
strong indication of the value of Dawson
dirt.
The value is of course governed by the
demand, and the demand is stronger TO-
day than ever before in the history of
city.
1t comes principally from men of lin
tied means-men who are home seekers.
For a long time the renters of the city
have been forced to submit to almost
anything in the shape of house, and Of
ten We're denied even this.
Many people, tired of waiting for prop
erty owners to build houses that thew
could rent, have gone to-work to buy lots
ana build homes, and many of the recent
real estate transfers have been made to
men of small means who seek to own
their own homes.
This is healthy sign for Dawson. 1t
means that her citizens are thrifty, ener-
getc and prosperous. 1t means that
this is to be city of homes, which is a
blessing to the body polite.
