A Human Newspaper Press

Gen. Joseph S. Smith, of Maine,
tells how he published paper with.
out a press i'll Bath, Me many years
ago: "When I'd get my paper all SET
up and ready for the press. I'd lay
the type on a washstand, get it all
leveled down we'll in the chase, or the
frame in which twas locked up, and
then I'd call IN the hired girl. She
weighed about 2I0 pounds when she
sat down. That's what l wanted-sit-
weight. So. after the hired
girl came in linked thetype, laid over
it the sheet of paper, and on top of
that the blanket, and then / politely
invited the hired girl to sit down on
the washstand. Two hundred and ten
pounds. remember. The result was
just as good an impression as you
could get on any 800 hand press made
in the United States. My edition in
those days was about 200 copies, and
the hired girl was good for the job at
one sitting-no, at 200 sittings. And
she took an interest in it, too, and was
just as ready for business every publi-
cation day as a $1,000 Hoe perfect
ing press would be. New York

Do You Wasst Electric Lights.

Next Saturday the citizens will have
an opportunity OF expressing, by bad
lot, their feelings on the question OF plac-
ing Eagle River upon "a basis OF cities
surrounding US. For years the question
has been agitated as to whether or not
an electric light plant Sdtoud bppnt in at
This place. Everyone We're favorable
l,ut as to making the necessary steps to
ture. Now we see that some steps must
be taken SO as to lay the matter before
the people and SO next Saturday all cleo
ton will be held and the voters will
decide the question. Should it be favor
able to the majority, or unfayorable it
must be well and good.
People who have resid I'd here for the
past several years, have paid their taxes;
never have had the name OF being grum-
blers i'll paying their just share i'll helping
to advance the interests of the town,
now see an opportunity of further adj
vancement. On the other hand the OPP
position consists OF people who, hereto-s
fore have been for self gain and instead
OF helping have put the interests back.
Shall we have electric lights, or shall
we have to make the tax payers go to
their pockets and pay fifteen hundred to
two thousand dollars more yearly to
run our system of water works as they
have been run during the past.
Should the voters see fit to accept the
proposition of Mr.. Thrun's the electric
light plant will be put in by him and no
costs will be charged to the town. He
will take charge OF the water works and
run the same. We know whereof we
speak when we say that the annual cost
Of running the water works costs the
town between four and five thousand
dollars per year, Now if by letting it to
| IL person who will put up II bond double
the contract and thereby save the tax
payers from fifteen to twenty-five hum
dred dollars yearly. why not do it,
Some have an idea that should the
contract be let to one party to run the
water works that no chance would be
offered for the sale of wood This is not
SO. 1t will take as much fuel to run the
plant, and in fact more as fuel will be
needed to run the dynamo for the electric
light. Take 4. good square look at the
question: before you, then vote for or
against.
