Ice and Power Plant.

A movement is on foot to organ
ize an ice and power plant for Nara
Visa. The ice famine all summer
in this vicinity has made people
begin to think and act.
An ice plant in Nara Viaa would
mean much for our little city. The
local demand for ice is steadily in
creasing and there is no doubt but
ice could be shipped all up and
down the road. The ice plants al
ready in operation at Dalhart and
Tucumcari can not even supply
their trade and thus put the smaller
towns dependent upon them for ice
at a great disadvantage.
The power plant which will be
run in connection with the ice nan
ufacturing plant can supply oil our
business houses and residences
with electric lights as cheaply as
they are now lighted with either
gasoline or kerosene.
A plant of reasonable size for
the operation OF both systems can
be put in for 81, 500, and it is hoped
the money can be raised by local
capital. These are the things that
Nara Visa in the forefront and
that's where we want to be.

plant. Mara Visa Register.

He is praised because of his act
and while it is almost a settled fact
that this fine will not be paid for
years and years, and that the case
will have to go through the courts
and be threshed and Refreshed be-
fore final decision is reached, yet
