MUNICIPAL LIGHTING.

Mortified has found il more ex-
pedient to sublet her village lighting
than to do it herself. so she will not
rebuild her burned plant.-Randolph
HERALD.
The above statement is an error.
The Mortified municipality does its
own lighting Just as il has from the
start After its power plant was
destroyed by fire il bought the
electricity needed for lighting from
the large Moody a. Almon plant The
experiment for year has been so
satisfactory that the village has now
made ten years contract for the
necessary supply of electricity, being
co. WINGED that it can buy the product
il needs for lighting purposes cheaper
than it can manufacture IT, The viii
lage takes the electricity distributes
il upon It's own poles and wires for
street lighting and to patrons for
house lighting, etc, the same as for
merly when in addition to supplying
the electricity IL also manufactured IL.
Electric lighting in Mortified is on
the same municipal basis as at the
start, 10 years ago. 4 Mortified News.
This is not particularly important
matter, but as our friend. the News.
corrects us. it is just as well to leave
the thing clear to all.
Mortified village. some ten OF
twelve years ago. undertook the con-
s;ruction and operation Of an electric
lighting plant and system. She had
hard luck. almost from the start.
The dam went out, the machinery
proved detective or inadequate. the
village was sued for a death claim and
finally the generating plant itself
went up in smoke. During this time
the village had accumulated fund Of
experience with the subject OF mu-
nicipal lighting. also a snug little
bonded debt Of $4,000 to $4,000. as
the result Of its experiment. The
system was ccarcely selfsupporting,

Clement Not Original.

Mr.. Clements literary bureau is be-
ginning to read spirited replies TO its
political advertising, and replies that
are to the point, 100. The simple fact
is that the Rutland candidate Is not
the originator OF any reforms in civil
government and the principles he adj
yocates have been proclaimed again
and again by other Vermont men and
by at least one or two Vermont news
papers. These elements are doubtless
as well prepared to shed light upon
the subjects as the Clement bureau, all
in good time. St Adams Messenger.

The News takes no cognizance OF
the Herald's charges OF graft, and
labor oppression. as applied to the
PrOctors. 1t isn't worth the powder.
It is the old threadbare stock argu-
ment that that newspaper has used
ever since its owner first annexed
the idea that he could "elean out" the
Proctors. But the News is disposed
to allow Oh the Proctors lose nothing,
in comparison with Mr. Clement,

Late Cedaredge News.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Pickett mourn
the loss of their baby, one week old.
No one who has not gone thru a SINH
lar experience can realize the sorrow
occasioned by the taking away of the
sweetest flower that ever blooms in the
home and Mr.. and Mrs. Pickett have
the sincere sympathy Of numerous
friends in their affiiction. The little
one died of heart failure. 1t simply
went to sleep and in its unconscious
innocence passed over the river of life
into the great beyond. Funeral servi-
ces were held Tuesday.
Sunday night the two local ministers,
Rev's. George and Ross, held union
temperance meeting at the church. A
program, prepared for the occasion,
was carried out, addresses were de-
livered and hot shot poured into those
parties who come from Delta to boot
leg whiskey. The speakers made it
plain that they had positive evidence
sufficient to convict the law violators
and they also made it plain that if such
traffic does not cease these parties will
be prosecuted. Liquor cannot be sold
here under authority of the law and il
is the determination of our people that
law violations shall continue no longer.
Cedaredge took on citifed appear.
ance election day. Old timers say they
never saw SO many people in town be-
fore in one day. Everybody had good
time and the good spirits of the people
resolved itself into something of q
celebration along toward evening, when
a genuine western cowboy horse race
took place.

Local and Personal

~s Su~ . ~ SVBo08o
H. F. Lake, Jr., editor of the Gunni-
son News-Champion. was a welcome
caller at the INDEPENDENT Office this
morning while on his way to Cedaredge
to spend day or two with his old time
friend. Frank Marshall. Mr.. Marshall's
sister, Mrs. Annie Downey was elected
county treasurer Of Gunnison county on
the democratic ticket at the recent
election.
Saturday evening the fire alarm
caused rush by the department and
citizens toward the residence of w. G.
Cook, but on arrival it was found their
presence was not needed. Mr.. Cook 8
little boy tipped table over on which
the kerosene lamp was setting. The
table cover was burned. but no other
damage resulted.
E. c. Rist has sold his grain and feed
business to George Crabill who will
move his stock to the building owned
and occupied by the Rist stock. on
which he has taken year 5 lease. Mr..
Rist says he will take rest for awhile,
but expects to buy small tract of land
near town for permanent home. Mr..
Crabill is an experienced feed store
man, hustler and will undoubtedly do
well.
Last Saturday W. S. Sheffield brought
to this Office bunch of strawberry
vines that were full of well developed
fruit. That day he had picked large
bucketful Of ripe berries for the Royal
Neighbor lunch which followed their
regular meeting that evening. 1t seems
truly wonderful that strawberry vines
would bloom and bear fruit this time of
the year and it is surely strong evidence
of the adaptability of our soil to their
production. Mr.. Sheffield says he
picked and sold the first crate of straw
berries May 3rd. The second crop came
on August lst. and he has had berries
continuously since.
John G. Wetterich was down from
Cedaredge Monday and dropped in to
put his subscription year in advance.
Mr.. Wetterich is one of the most sue
cessful fruit men in that section and
his loss by the recent freeze was in
significant. due to the fact that he had
a stone house in which practically his en-
tire apple crop had been stored. Having
the stone house it was not necessary
for him to wait for boxes which was
the cause of so many apples being on
the trees at the time of the storm.
Many of these stone houses will un-
dOubtedly be built thruout the fruit
districts.
Allison McCready was here from
Ridgway last week visiting his parents.
He bought high grade Norman stall
lion from Jim Beckley which he took
up to his big $50 acre ranch near Ridg-
way. He is in the stock business and
raises timothy hay which he ships to
Ouray and sells at SIG. 90 per ton. Cost
of transporting it to the railroad,
freight charges and bailing amounts to
SO. Is per ton. He cuts from one and
half to two tons per acre. He says
that section is one of the Oldest settled
parts of the state. water rights dating
back to 1877. They call for nine cubic
feet per second. Asked what valuation
he put on his $50 acre ranch he replied
that it was worth $40. 900 but was not
for sale at that figure. Looks as if
some of our Western Slope farmers
were getting what was at one time
termed rich.

Acquitted Of Murder.

Santos Valdez. charged with the mur-

on the night of September 26, was ac-
quilted by the trial jury. Frank r. Y.
Martinez swore that he saw Valdez kill
Trujillo, but the defendant was able to
satisfy the jury by his own testimony
and that Of Jim Kirk that he was in
his owp room at the time the murder
was committed. Martinez IS yet 70 be
tried, but as he was used as a witness
by the prosecution against Valdez it is

missed.
