THE question OF n system OF
lighting the town OF Hathdrum
is still unsolved, but interest is
not tagging. The failure OF the
Spokane party who were in town
hast week endeavoring to inter
est the people in q carbide-acety-
lene gas plant, was to be expect
ed. The carbide gas generator
has been tried here on a small
plan and has been pronounced
unsatisfactory. Rathdrum wants
electric lights. There are two
ways in which this can be secur-
cd, by local parties or from the
Washington Water Power COM
pany. If from the latter, we
must wait probably two orthree
years. TO get electric lights at
once, local capital must be inter
ested or the town bonded. II
the business men could confer
with themselves and with the
town council, about the matter,
it is more than likely they would
arrive at q definite conclusion.
The feasibility OF this plan is
clearly apparent, and it would
be d source OF satisfaction to
have the town own the plant.
