SATURDAY, DECEMBER %.
A SET OF DRONEs.


About three weeks ago man
named Owen Ford, capitalist
from st. Louis, arrived in Galena
and made arrangements to buy the
plant of the Galena Electric Light
and Power Company. He
expressed his intention of
spending about 100000 in making
improvements in the plant and
building an electric street car line.
The Galena council and few of
the business men, however, put
their heads together and decided
that the real purpose of Mr.. Ford
was TO get control of a street
railway franchise, build an electric
line to the east and west ends of the
city and connect il with line
which might Mt some time be built
west from Galena.
After they had evolved this
mighty scheme in their fertile
brains they gave Mr.. Ford 10
understand that walking is very
good in Galena aud intimated that
Gaiena don't need an electric street
car line. Needless to say, MIR. Ford
went back to St. Louis disgusted.'
The Galena council, like the
Gaiena school board, seems 10 be
composed of a set of drones.
The best way to build up town
is 10 encourage the investment of
on. side capital in it. This. we
understand, the Galena council
does not do.
