Richfield, Feb. PA very important
move has been made by some citizens of
Richfeld which may. and probably will,
develop soon into most significant enter
prise Information coming TO the ears
of DIR. n. K. Neill of this city that out
side parties were contemplating securing
right to the use of spring in a canyon
above Greenwood for power purposes, Sc
cured the cooperation of l.. II. Outgen

they nave formally appropriated the
water for such purpose.
They have consulted an electrical en-
Sineer who will be here in a few days.
and definite information Will be obtained
as to how much horsepower can be Sc
cured from the water within d reasonable
distance. Il is believed it viii be sufficient
to operate an electrical plant large
enough to supply all the towns in this
part of the valley with electricity, and if
such proves the case upon a survey and
measurement steps will be taken to or
ganfze d company for this purpose.
The spring referred to is situated so that
u short ditch will furnish a fall of a
hundred feet or more and can be utilized
most advantageously at small cost. The
distance to such leading towns as Rich
field. Monroe and Elsinore is only a few
miles, and the cost of plant which would
supply all these and Glenwood. Annabella
and Joseph would be comparatively small
Richtield has been talking of electric
lights for some time, and there is no
doubt the project will receive substantial
encouragement and support from this
place.
