Editor of the Times:

Editor of the Times:
[ have read with considerable
interest the past couple of week:
the articles contained in your
paper regarding the question OF
municipal ownership of a light
ing plant and wonder how any
''real advocate can, make such
statements with the hope of
changing the minds Of the tax
payers at this time. It is also a
wonder to me that he did not
find out before now that M. O.
would be a bad tn ing for the city
to go into. The question was
put up to the people at an cleo
ton held last fall and about 1858
voted in favor of building the
power plant while only eighty
|O could be found in the city
who opposed the proposition.
Now does one or two Of the
eighty two think that they can
change the minds of so large a
majority so that pressure will
be brought to bear upon the
common council so that they will
abandon the idea entirely. | do
not think so for [ think that
those that voted in favor Of
building a lighting planJ upon
Sioux River had looked well in
to the matter before they voted
and will demand that work on
the same be begun soon. No
talk whatever was put up before
the election by the ''real advo.
cate" or the taxpayer" to show
the people the folly of going into
such thing.
The report Of the several en-
glneers that have been here and
have looked over the river have
been to the effect that there is
plenty of water in the river to
furnish a great deal more power
than the city will have need for
and they are willing to stake
their reputation on their reports.
All the measurements of the
water flow were taken at a time
of the year when the water was
the lowest so that the lowest
possible flow could be register
ed. The engineers have made
their reports from these meas
urements and they say that the
power is there. Now the real
advocate says that there is a
possibility of the river drying up
when the land is cleared which
would be all right if the river
were fed from the drainage Of
the land at the time of rains, but
as the water of the river comes
from springs there would be
about as much chance Of the
Mississippi river drying up as
there is of Sioux River.
When the taxpayer of last
week figured out that the city
would be at a loss in operating a
plant of their own he evidentaIly
forgot to figure that the COM
pany sold other light besides the
arcs and that the bulk of the
present company's business
comes from the private custom
ers and not from the city, al
tho $l43 per month for lighting
the streets of Washburn for a
few hours as they are at present
seems to be a pretty good figure.
Of course the city would lose the
$40 per month in taxes If the
present lighting company should
decide to leave Washburn but
then we could easily make up
thatamount with the profits from
private users Of lights with our
new M. 0. plant. Besides we
would have cheap power in the
way of electricity to offer manu-
featuring concerns that are
looking for a location and we
might be able to land many con-
Germs and build Washburn to the
size that all good citizens hope
that it will grow in time.

NOT WANTED IN GEORGIA.

The announcement comes from
Europe that Gov. elect Hoke Smith
and party are convinced that
Georgia will not be aDle to do much
toward securing immigrants from
Georgia, and that we must turn to
Austria-Hungary for our new stock
of labor and citizens.
Candidly speaking, we doubt
whether the people OF Georgia will
do much to assist In a movement
to fill Georgia up with natives OF
Austria Hungary. They may be
very good workers, for all we
know, and equally as desirable as
the Germans, Swedes, Oh Sests
would be, but we doubt whether
they will be equally as acceptable
to the Georgia people as ReighbOrs
and fellow Iaborers.
If the conclusion reached by
Mr.. Smith and his associates is
well based, and Georgia must turn
to the Austria Hungary tribes for
its immigrants, the immigrant
movement is probably destined to
an early demise. They may be all
right, but it is going to take a
powerful lot" OF educating to
make the average Georgian give
a hearty welcome to the immi-
grants from those countries, and
especially the class who would be
most likely to come this way.
