a mar who has a pride in keeping

the same energy given to the front
part to the rear of his establishment.
The business district Of Mitchell
STANDS in dire need OF cleaning up in
the most. Thorough manner. Mitchell
is no worse Oft in this direction than
most towns, but that should be no
reason why they should remain SO.
Any person with an eye for the
attractive can take a trip down the
alleys and see an array of debris shat
would lead him to think that some-
thing should be done toward elimi-
mating such a condition from the
business district. Everything goes
out the back door boxes, waste paper,
s%weepings and In fact everything,
and as a result there is a pile of stuff
congregated; there that is becoming
a monument to uncieanliness.
1t ought not to take a drastic
order from the city officials to require
these alleys to be cleaned and kept
clean-there ought to be a pound Of
pride in the make Of the tenants, or
owners Of buildings to have the
alleys or the rear end Of the lots
present just. as good an appearance
as the front end. 1t is true that
with the beginning of each spring
there is SOFT Of a cleaning up on
the part OF. some, but 1T is uos Kept
up with. any. degree Of regularity

ought to b, done every week. An

FOR AN ALL.DAY SERVICE
Mitchell Illuminating and Power Co.
Will Soon Establish a Very
Valuable Service.

What Mitchell has needed for a
long time was a power service where
by small institution would be made
to grow larger. There are perhaps
a dozen or more institutions in
Mitchell which could be improved
could 1t secure power without going
to the expense of establishing an in
dividual plant. That this condition
is to be made possible IN this city
within a short time is the assurance
of the Mitchell Illuminating and
Power Co, which has taken over
the plant OF the Mitchell Gas Co.
In speaking with Manager White
a few days ago with reference to
now soon he expected to start the
day service, he stated chat the
company was ready to begin just as
as soon as the Western National
bank was completed, which, in all
probability, will be in the course of
a week or two. The bank building
is equipped with an elevator that
will require power to operate it and
with the hundreds of electric lights
throughout the big -four story build
ing it will use an immense amount of
electric power. This institution has
made it possible for the company to
see its way clear to establish a
tw%enty-four hour system. 1t will
afford many business houses an op-
%pcrtunity use electric power in their
places in the operation Of small
machinery and offer a chance for a
big saving 10 others where a heavy
expense is now incurred for power.
The company will make additions
to its present electric equipment to
furnish the people with a steady and
reliable service. The gas plant will
be moved from the northwestern
part of the city down to the plant
and new machinery installed for the
manufacture of coal gas, a change
which will be appreciated by tie
users of that commodity.
