PROFITS IN ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Some Estimates that are not far out Of
the way rs to what the Town
Is row Losing.
An attempt is being made to
convince the citizens of Paonia
that voting bonds to buy or build

<hu 0AS~oAhka - 1>AAS hAoa@ ~
convince the citizens of Paonia
that voting bonds to buy or build
an electric light plant means, an
increase in our taxes.
Now let us carefully consider
this proposition. Mr.. Beezley ad-
mits that he is running at present
over 600 lights at an average
cost to the consumer of more
than sixty cents per month per
light That is total income eX-
ceeding s4,320 per year. Now
he claims his coal costs S1.50 per
night which is $3.50 per year
His engineer costs $50 per mo nth
or s720 per year, his electrician
at present does work amounting
to $3.50 per year, adding for re-
pairs and incidentals and we
have a grand total of Sl,S00 as
the total expense of operation
leaving a clear profit of $500 per
year for the value of the right to
sell electricity to the people of
Paonia.
The interest on our bonds 81, 700
at six per cent is S2S2 per year.
Our sinking fund sufficient to ex-
tinguish the debt in ten years the
minimum allowed by law is $470
making total of S752 to be de-
Quoted each year from the $500
leaving a net revenue to the town
of Sizes which can be applied
either to reducing taxation or we
can reduce the price of lights
proportionately as we desire.
In view of the fact that the
franchise supporters expect to
make clear profit from the Pao-
MIA citizens of nearly $4,000 per
year and an every increasing sum
as our population increases, the
estimate made of $4,000 as the
value OF the franchise, is very low.
And yet we have some worthy
patriots in this town who demand
that Paonia shall give away a
franchise worth $4,000 while
they are bowling themselves
hoarse because they are required
to pay FIVE cents per day for the
use of our excellent mountain
water.

TOWN POLITICS.
The Line Up and What il Means to the
People.

On SATURDAY evening tne So.
called Taxpayers convention met
and nominated E. j. Mathews for
Mayor, E. r. Morgan. w, ]. AK;
ford and Jake Rudolph for Coun-
cilmen, c. c. Hawkins for Clerk,
and Clinton Oliver for Treasurer.
The convention lodged the
liquor question, adopting no reso-
luton for its submission to the
people. Whether they intend to
carry water on both shoulders
and be temperance men to the
church people and license men
to the saloon men we cannot say.
They did not bind their candi-
dates TO obey the people on the
question. but as they are in favor
of franchises without reference to
what the people say it is but fair
to presume that they care very
little what the people say on the
saloon question.
On Monday after the enthusi-
asm had died out to some extent,
Clinton Oliver concluded that he
did not want to take any chances
on beating Winifrcd Hammond
for treasurer, but would like in
stead to have c. c. Hawkins re-
sign in, his favor. 1t is not out OF
place to mention that Clint has
wanted to be clerk very bad. He
had his representatives in the
Good Government caucus to pre-
sent his name and assure the eau
Gus that il nominated he would
accept, but as the Good Govern
ment people we're very we'll salts
fed with the present clerk they
chose to exert all their influence
to secure his consent to run for
reelection. Upon Mr.. William
sons request that Mr.. Hawkins
resign from both tickets Mr.. Haw,
kins consulted with his friends
and finding them a unit for his
election, declined to consent to
withdraw and honor Mr.. divers
very modest request. The latter
has as yet not accepted the nom
ination for treasurer, there not
being even remote hope of Sc
curing an election.
1t seems to be the intent of the
Franchise ticket (taxpayers) to
hide as much as possible the light
question. Their organ refuses to
say anything on the subject but
devotes its entire space to the
liquor question, regardless of the
fact that its own convention
lodges that. But we will under
take to keep the mv9ieiBal probn

tent that will smoke the Booster

@Down East" at Paonia.

The troupe of home talent play
ers which presented Down East"
here month ago boarded the train
on Saturday and hied them away
to Paonia where they gave the
good people of that town the bene-
fit of their ability. A good crowd
listened to the production. 1t was
the. incest and most intelligent
audience that any of the players
had ever face except of course
the Olathe crowd. The play was
we'll received and nothing but fav-
orable comments were heard re-
garding its rendition. The Farm.
ers Quartette was popular as ever
and made a decided hit. While
there the local company were the
guests of the Paonia Dramatic
company, under whose auspices
the play was given. c. T. Rawalt
of the Paonia Newspaper had inn
mediate charge of the troupe's
reception and never we're people
more royalty entertained. Every,

ways cherish a fond memory for
their Paonia trip,-Olathe Criter7

make speciality of going off half

After the dance some noise was

that the ones raising the disturb

fourth game of the series and was de-
feated 5 to 0 They presented a differ

Gilchrist of Schoolcraft were the bat

ford on second and third 1t is doubt
ful, however, if the team was strength

struck out and Martin was caught asleep
at first on the hidden ball trick For
Paw Paw. Snow and Decker crossed the
plate on two hits, a sacrifice and high
throw. Paw Paw added two more scores
in the second and one in the sixth. Law
renee was unable to reach the plate, al
though at one time the bases were full
with no one out. Paw Paw played fine
game, not an error being made. Rey-
nolds pitched great game, striking out
10 men and allowing but two hits, while
Beistle suffered to the extent of seven
hits. The game, however, was good
one, devoid of all npleasantness.
There was quite a number of Lawrence
fans present who expressed themselves
as satisfied with everything except the
results of the game.

Shut Out Lawrence in Tuesdays
Game-Beistle Hit Hard.
Score 8 TO o.

The outlook at noon last Friday was
good for an excellent ball game, fine
weather and large crowd of people,
but Just before the game. was called a
heavy rain drove the people from the
ball park. However, after the rain stop
ped a seven inning game was played
though the grounds were in a very poor
condition for satisfactory game.
Bloomingdale was loaded with a Chi
cago battery which did good work, and
which was the main stay of the team
while Paw Paw had Kalamazoo pitcher
who showed plainly that he had received
his money before the game began. He
didn't even try to pitch, and the l0year-
old pitcher of Paw Paws ninth ball team
could have shown him several points
about the game.
In the first inning Bloomingdale got
in three scores, while Paw Paw could
only get a man on third. Both sides
we're quickly retired in the second, but
in the third Bloomingdale again scored
twice. The fourth inning was short with
nothing doing, but in the fifth Bloom
ingdale got another run on Paw Paws
poor throwing, making the score to o;
and so it remained to the end of the
game.
This is one game in three for Bloom
ingdale, but they are exceedingly iubi-
liant. Paw Paw lays her defeat to hard
luck and feels confident of victory if
another game is played between the two
teams this season.
