Great Is Galena.

Owen Ford has purchased the
plant of the Galena Light and
Power Company and the result will
be revolution in connection with
this important industry. Mr.. Ford
with headquarters at St. Louis. is al
the head of Ohio capital, and the
intention is first: to more than
double the capacity; to erect a
power house, covering almost the
entire block; to furnish not only
light, but power for the operation
of machinery throughout the mines
and city and to operate an electric
car line. The route of the latter is
not fully determined, but at present
the contemplated route is from
Empire City to Spring Grove, thence
TO Standley. with loop taking in
the Mastin tract. Another line east
on Seventh street, through East
Galena. Mr.. Ford informs us that
the contemplated expenditure will
reach hundred thousand dollars,
While regretting the departure OF
the former company, which has
riven us excellent service. we hail
with JOY the coming of the new
firm, which will enable us to again
emphasize our patented cry: Great
is Galena."-Galena Republican.

The telegraph editor of the
Kansas City Journal should apply
for position as mining expert.
Over the item announcing the
destruction of Thornton x Patton's
holster house by an explosion at
their mine, he put the heading:
"Galena Hotel Wrecked" The
same fellow would probably speak
of "free ore" az a gift distribution,
and would put jack quotations in
the live stock report. If he should
hear of the big drifts in the mines
he would probably report il as a
Terrible Snow Storm ut Galena."
If he should hear about the way
shafts are "cribbed up" he would
no doubt advise us TO quit holding
them and feed them to hogs

Shall the Debt be Funded?


T. =. LaRue of the Cherokee
County Bank directs attention to
the fact that there are still
outstanding against the Columbus
school district about $4,000 of
Indebtedness which is drawing six
per cent interest. Mr.. LaRue
thinks we ought TO call in those
bonds by the issue of five per cent
funding bonds and save the one
per cent interest and extend the
time of payment until a more
convenient time on the principal.
Again there falls due next year
$4,000 of Salamanca township
railroad bonds for which there is n
sinking fund of only $1,000 on hand
to pay them with. These bonds
draw ten per cent interest. Mr..
LaRue suggests that the township
and city should fund the
remaining $4,000 to be paid on
these bonds into five per cent bonds
and extend the date of payment to
the time what is known as the
Wilson bonds fall due.
Suggestions such as these,
coming from such heavy
taxpayer as Mr.. LaRue ought to
receive due consideration and
during these winter months the
people ought to get together and
attend TO these matters and not
leave them until next summer
when everybody will be busy with
their own affairs and politics.

"The first man elected to the office
of district clerk of this county was
Lane Williams, residing then and
ever since on his farm east of
Spring river in Shawnee township.
Mr. Williams did not know he was
candidate until he went to the
polls on the day of the election and
saw his name on the ticket an
independent ticket, gotten up that
year Qs60 by some fellows at Baxter

was Democrat, and is yet we

he has been importuned to allow
his name to be used for the Office,
