TO REBUILD
Electric Light Company to Erect
Another Plant at this Place at
Overwhelmingly to be Ship
ped From Denver Saturday,
Winsor's Telegram

Denver, Nov. 20, '06.
j. F. Crawford,
Saratoga, Wyo.
Will rebuild at once. Will
ship machinery from Denver Sat
urday. Signed,
ID L. Winsor.
The above telegram is about
the best news that the Sun has to
offer its city readers this week.
There will be general rejoicing,
not only among the residents of
the city. but also among all the
residents of the surrounding
country, at this news, which set
ties the matter of our light plant.
As told before in theses columns
the plant will be built on the east
side of the river, in order that it
may be convent to the railroad in
the matter of coal. The site has
not been chosen as yet, but it will
be close to the line of the Sarato-
ga q Encampment railroad as
now surveyed.
1t only needs such a lesson as has
been pressed home to the people
of this place in the past two weeks
to appreciate an electric light
plant. The town in darkness,
people going stumbling along the
streets with lanterns, tallow can
dies and the ill smelling oil lamps
to increase the work and lessen
the comfort about the house
these things have made our peo-
pie appreciate the electric lights
as they never di dbefore.
Mayor Winsor is to be com
mended, as we'll as the Electric
Light Company, on the haste they
have made in this matter. There
never has been any question about
the rebuilding of the plant from
the start. 1t was necessary, how
ever, to settle with the insurance
companies, for the damage sus-
tanned by the fire, before any de-
finate steps could be taken in the
matter of the erection of the new
plant.
Before Mayor Winsor left here
last week he informed the Sun
that when the new plant was
erected it would be equipped with
the very latest electrical machinery
and that Saratoga would be
up-to-date in the matter of her
light plant when it was again put
in motion.

Charles Lamb and Tobacco.

Charles Lamb, according to his own
confession, was "a fierce smoker of to-
bacco." One day when putting vlgor-
ously the coarsest weed from long
clay pipe in company with DR.. Parr
the latter asked him how he managed
to acquire this "prodigious power"
by toiling after it, as some men toll
after virtue" was the prompt reply.
AS he advanced in years, however,
ELLA" was obliged to relax his intima-
cy with the weed, so that, to use his
own words, he was like burnt out
volcano emitting now and then only a
casual puff" Eventually he took his
formal leave in Farewell Ode to To
bacco." and In forwarding copy OF
the poem to Wordsworth he writes. II
have had it in my head to do 1t these
two years, but tobacco stood in its own
light when it gave me headaches that
prevented me singing Its praises"
