Another White River Power Project,

DR.. 3. L. Joseph who has charter
granted under the laws of Arkansas
for the establishment OF a power plant
on the White river in Boone county,
Ark, was in Springfield all day Monday
looking over the field with view to
ascertaining the feasibility Of trans.
mitting electricity for lighting and
power purposes to this city.
When questioned about his plans by
a representative of the Republican, DR..
Joseph said:
at is my intention to form Il COM
pany for the erection of power house
on While river. This plant will be in
Boone county, Arkansas, and will be
only one-half mile from the Missouri
line. There is at this point nine and
a half mile loop in the river. AT the
lower end of the loop it is only 1000
feet from water to water and there is
a fall OF sixty-eight feet.
ut is an easy matter TO develop TO-
600 horse power at this point. The
place where the plant is to be erected
is only sixty.6ve miles from Spring
field and is the only point near here
where water power sufficient to de-
velop large amount of electricity Nil
the year round is to be found.
81 may say" continued Dr. Joseph,
that several Springfield people will
become interested in the enterprise,
though | am not at liberty to use any
of their names at present. This is a
great opportunity for Springfield to
get lightand power much cheaper than
it has ever had, as electricity can be
developed from water power at from
oue-third TO one.half the cost which
arises from the Use of coal. 1t is
Springfeld's opportunity.
"But the plant will be built whc ther
Springfield concludes TO profit by it OF
not. There is vast district in North.
ern Arkansas that produces great
amount OF zinc and this district will
be supplied from the plant. 1t is also
almost certain that electric car lines
will be run throug the district at many
points.
"The transmission Of electricity fol
lighting and power 10 considerable dis
tances is now general throughout the
country. In some places it is SEN
more than two hundred miles success
fully, and at great reduction in cos
TO produce the power"
DR.. Joseph left Monday night fol
Chicago. He says he will return Il
Springfield in about ten days.-Spring

MANY of ou: brightest young men
with lives of rare promise, early turn
their attention to political career
which soon proves their downfall. We
soon find them drinking the health of
the aspirant for political hoDors; drink

votes; drinking toasts at the reception
Of the victorious candidate: drinking
with everybody before the election, and
great deal more afterwards. All this
has fixed habit which he cannot shake
off and in the retirement of his own
home he turns to the wine bottle for

politics. Young men, keep out OF poll
