j. A. Cleaver, of Huron, one of
the promoters of the proposed electric
line from Aberdeen to Huron, has
gone to New York to meet the finan-
cial agent of some European capital
lists for the purpose of trying to sell
bonds to finance the concern. His
business may take him to London.
We hope that Mr.. Cleaver will prove
successful. The proposition is entire
" feasible and if it should not ma
terialize at this time, it is certain to
come in the not distant future. The
electric traction business will be rev
olutionized within a short time by
the Edison Storage battery, making
it far cheaper to operate. The Ignite
fields of the Dakotas, converted iuto
power through the producer gas
system, will furnish the power for a
large system of electric roads in these

to see this prediction made good

ent rate of development keeps up.

is needed is the demand, and develop

As predicted, the bill introduced
providing for the insurance of bank

proved bank In our humble judg-
ment neither plan complies with the
spirit of the state platform; and either
one enacted into law will prove a
failure-the banks would refuse to
insure, and the people would not
think it worth while to insure any
thing but the larger deposits. We
believe the banks should be compel
led to insure, or the matter should be
dropped.
