Monday proved to be perfect day
for the annual lawn party, which was
held on the spacious lawn at the home Of
Mrs. c. Il. Stevens, where festoons and
other decorations with the national

Company could throw any light on the
subject. Manager Turner replied with
very interesting speech, saying he would
prefer to keep silence, but he was also
willing to contribute any light on the
subject. he was closely listened to and
warmly applauded at the close. He gave
a briet history of the growth of the Ac-
queduct system and explained that under
proper conditions his company could
take care OF the whole village, supplying
water for both fire and domestic pur-
poses. He said the bad taste and odor
last winter had never occurred before
and was prevalent in many other New
England systems.
Mr.. Turner said the Acqueduct Com
pauy would never expend the necessary
amount of money to bring in 100000
gallons of water into the village, 79 per
cent. Of which would be wasted, and as
a taxpayer he was opposed to the vii
lage expending the necessary money to
bring in the above needless amount Of
water.
Interrogated by George W. Young as
to the probable cost OF meters, Mr.. Tur-
ner asked to have E. II. Gowing address
the meeting. Mr.. Gowing said that it
was impossible to tell what it would
cost the st. Johnsbury people as con.
ditions varied in different places and the
subject had never been seriously consid-
cred by the Acqueduct Company.
After formal acceptance of the trus-
tees and engineers report, and ordering
them them to be placed on file, the meet
ing adjourned.

Ide to Build a New Mill.
An important business deal has just
been completed by which the st. Johns
bury Electric Company acquire the lde
water power at Passumpsic, which Is
nominally 400 horse power, and will
erect at once modern electric light sta
ton, using the water power to its full
est capacity. The Electric Company
will then have three stations, one at the
dam at the Center, which now supplies
the village with the arc and commercial
arc lights, the station atthe Belknap dam,
and the new one at Passumpsic. With
their new purchase they will illhaveenough
power to run their entire system by
water, using the steam plant at the Bel
knap dam only in cases of emergency.
During low water they have been obliged
to use steam power which has proved
very expensive on account OF the great
amount of coal used and the new power
was secured to save expense in this
line. They will build an up-to-date
plant with no shafting or betting to abb
sorb the power and bring all the wires
from the new plant and the Center plant
to the central plant at the Belknap dam
which will be the general distributing
station. When the new plant is COM
pleted they will be equipped to furnish
all the light and power which our grow
ing village will demand for many years
| to come.
The sale of the Ide water power, which
has been in the Ide family for nearly q
century, makes it possible for 3. 7. &
Fl. K. Ide to erect adjoining their store
house on Bay street modern mill tc
grind their feed and plans have beer
drawn for freproof three story struc
ture about "a by 80, which will contain
all the machinery used in grinding. Th'
Ides will use electricity for power, the
same to be furnished from the new plant
of the St. Johnsbury Electric Company
The Ides have not decided whether t
build their mill of brick or concrete, but will
soon settle on the material to be used al
they expect to. have the mill completed
bv October 1. Since their last fire at Lyn
don they have had no place to grinc
their product, but have been obliged tt
hire 1t all done elsewhere.
The CALIFORNIAN congratulates botl
parties on this trade, as it means bet
ter equipment for both corporations ant
more business for st. Johnsbury.

doing regularly for twenty years.

He has quit the Indian service and
expects to go back on his farm north

says that eleven years is enough time
to put in showing Uncle SANS red
wards how to farm, though he would
not take a great deal for the expert
ence. lncidently, Frank dropped the
remark that the GRAPHIC was dead
right in all of its statements on the
capital question, and he is very much
in favor OF the proposition to make
$40 acres the homestead right on a
greater part of the remaining unoc-
cupieds lands west Of the Missouri.
