Lightning rodders. spring bed ped
dlers, land-sharks and so on to an in
definite end, have canvassed this
county and swindled thousands by
obtaining notes and papers without
giving value received, says the St. Pc
ter Tribune. The swindlers seem to
be so elated as to have brought pros
pective railroads into reQuisition to
further their ends. The latest scheme
that farmers have to steer clear of is
where self-styled railroad surveying
party pretend to be running a line
for a new road and tackle farmers for
notes of 500 dollars and upward.
The question of asking farmer for
note under such circumstance carries
fraud on its face. Railroad compa-
MES and their surveying parties never
do business in that way. Therefore,
we feel in duty bound to caution
farmers and all other parties to shun
such parties; it's only scheme to
gather in shekles dishonesty.
For several months back it has
been evident that the present cleo
trio plant is inadequate to supply the
demands of those DESTROYS Of using
electricity. Many business men have
made application for a number of
lights only to be informed that there
was not sufficient power to supply the
present needs. We understand that
the Creamery Package Company is
among the manufacturing institu-
tions which stand ready to use cleo
tricity. The Electric Light Compa-
ny has at last seen its way out of the
dilemma. The plant is to be enlarg-
ed. An extension is to be built to the
engine house at r. d. Hubbard's mill.
A new engine is to be put in which is
to be used exclusively for operating
the electric plant. Besides this, it is
the intention to put in another dy-
namo, which is to he much larger
than the one now in use.
