lola PROPERTY.
A Word to the Wise.

Property in every growing town
will naturally increase in value as
the town continues to grow. The
more the town grows the greater will
be the advance in price, Every body
knows this, yet many people are too
timid TO purchase at the right time,
and when the right time Is gone,
never to return, they go around the
corner and "cuss" aud kick them
selves.
The right time to purchase is when
property can be had at reasonable
prices. Those who purchased prop
erty in lola year ago can sell out
now at a handsome profit and those
who purchase now can do the same
thing in few months. In fact
values are increasing every day
However property at lola is still sell.
ing at reasonable prices, We are
glad this is true, but prices are Ger.
tain to he much higher very soon.
This IL to be expected and cannot be
prevented. No live town can con
tinue to sell property forever at dead
town prices. lola Is a live town. No
other city in the state has such pros.
poets. Every body agrees that it will
have at least ten thousand people in
the near future. What will lots that
now sell from $50 to $500 be worth
then, especially il the lots have the
privilege of free gas forever for both
lights and fuel? lola is the only city
in the West where lots can be pur-
chased at any price with this free
gas privilege, but here they can be
purchased at reasonable prices and
on easy terms. The two splendid
gas wells in the new additions to
lola, Brooklyn Park and Highland
Place, will furnish about Is OOO, 900
cubic feet of gas every day. These
two wells are to be used exclusively
tor these two additions. No better
opportunity was ever afforded for
investment or TO secure a home.

and seize the opportunity of life.

Here's IL Nice Predicament.

Last summer IA subscription paper
for the purchase and erection of a
handsome flag staff in the city park
of lola. A beautiful flag flew from
the staff all summer, but i'm some
way the rope has escaped from the
pulley and it is now impossible to
hoist the flag until another rope is
put in place. The staff Is l20 feet
high and is made from five joints of
gas pipe. The first two joints are of
six inch pipe, the next three OF four
inch pipe, and the last of one inch
pipe. At the top is a pulley with
an arm sticking out and up to guide
the rope into the groove. The time
is rapidly approaching when it Will
be necessary to fly the flag and the
question of how the rope is to he re-
inserted in the pulley is driving
sleep from the brows of several peo-
pie. The pole is too slender to bear
the weight of man. Otten's monk
ey could do the job If he would-but
he doesn't seem willing. The only
practicable way seems to be to Offer
reward of five dollars to the small
boy who first succeeds in getting hit
kite string over the pole and in the
groove Of the pulley. With a string
once over rope could be soon drawn
up and the trouble be ended. Al
offer of five dollars would be sui
ticlent bonus to have all the boys IL
town flying kites at the top of tn,
pole, especially as there is circu
coming to town next week. Iol'
wants that flag up this summer whel
the boys come home and it might a
well be raised now as later.

A petition was filed in district court
Friday by the city of Humboldt ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver
for the humboldt Gas company.
The petition states that the fran
chise for the company was granted in
March, 1897, to c. II. Pratt who as
signed it the following month to the
Company and the council approved
the trans fer. The company cOnstruc-
ted and operated the plant and has
charged the following prices: Heat
ing stoves with S.64 mixer, 81 per
month; cook stove, $3.50 to 50 50 per
month; lights ~ to 35 cents per month.
The company has never filed with the
city clerk a statement of its business
which the law requires to be done
semi-annually, the time for three such
statements having passed. Neither
has it paid tothe city the residue of
it's receipts after applying all legiti-
mate expenses and six per cent profit
on the capital invested, nor has any
petition asking that larger per cent
be allowed been presented by the
company. Plaintiff claims that a
large amount ia due 1t, but just how
large cannot be discovered without an
tented statement.
The city does not know how much
capital the company bas invested, and
claims all over six per cent of the net
receipts Plaintiff asks for the ap-
pointment of "A receiver who shall take
possession, operate the plant, take
the books, and that the amount due
the city be paid from sale OF the assets
OF the company. The papers are filed
by w. A Choguill, city attorney and
q. A. Amos, attorney for plaintiff.
The company which owns the plant
is commonly reputed to be the stan
dard Oil Co., and it agreed to charge
the prices in vogue in other small gas
towns. The outcome of the case will
be awaited with interest and sympa
thy by lola people.
