which the fans thought they should have

Good Judgment.

team. particularly the pitchers BY the

all season-no little achievement when
the material he had at his command is
considered With another pitcher the
equal OF Matthewson or McGinnity. and
the addition of couple of hard hitting
inhelders, 1t is safe to say he would
have given Pittsburg a grueling tussle
for the honors.
One year ago the Pirates led the Ma
uonal League procession with an adyan-
tage Of 217 points over their nearest
rivals. the Brooklyns. Boston was third.
Chicago fourth, Cincinnati fifth. St.

Rare Generalship.
New York's Improvement, with a team
that does not differ to any great extent
from that which closed the season last
year. is astonishing. and the results
must be attributed to good handling by
McGraw. who has been in control all
through the campaign, instead OF for
part of it, as was the case in 1902
The National League as a whole has
benefited financially by the success OF
the Giants. On several occasions the
crowds were record breakers. and when
the attendance figures are summed up at
the close of the season II probably will
be found that no team in the history OF
the game ever played on its own grounds
to a greater number OF spectators than
did the Giants of 1903.

This Is the opportunity of a lifetime
for yankton. Al present our city water
system Is in a de~plorable condition.
We have let the contract for a new ar
tesian well. but that does not promise
permanent pressure. If we buy the
electric lighting plant we will have
power enough to pump Missouri river
water into the city and maintain q
pressure sufficient to safeguard the
city against FIRE.
I'VE will increase the number OF arc
lights on the streets to fifty and will
be able to double the number later Ola
We will be able to cut the cost OF pri-
vate lights sQuarely in two and we will
improve the service a hundredfold. In
place of Yankton paying thousands
yearly for street lights. the city will
be receiving a substantial revenue
from private lights. We have tried
artesian wells and they have failed.
We have tried private ownership OF
the lighting plant and it has been I'M
satisfactory. BY the proposed COM
biEation we a do away with the
former bad conditions and In their
place will be ideal conditions. II the
people of the city will stand behind me
and the city council, and am sure
they will. we will give to the city pure
water, ample fire protection and the
best of lights. l have gone into this
fight for the benefit of the city OF
Yankton and I expect TO win"
Mayor Fanslow's program is to have
a petition circulated for the signatures
of the voters. If a majority sign the
petition he will call a special election
to vote the bonds with which TO pur-
chase the electric lighting plaut. So
far he has received the almost unani-
nous support OF citizens.

N 1871 he came to Yankton and IN
1907 was elected mayor and was re.

one OF his early encounters with
private franchises was with THE
northwestern Telephone company.
With the help Of influential citizens he
succeeded in organizing a local tele-
phone company that now has in the
neighborhood OF 500 phones in the city
and on rural lines. The charter Of the
company makes 1t possible for the city
to buy the system at any time, and
this the mayor hopes for in the future.
During October of the present year
the fankton Electric Lighting COM

and passed into the hands of William

any private franchise whatever and

made an offer to the city to sell it for
$4,000, which is a small fraction CT
the original cost of the plant, and is
now In good repair.
