DEVELOPING THE
WATER POWERS
Ladysmith May Have Opportunity to
Contract for Electric. Current
Would Mean Great Saving

The action of the present session of
the legislature, in refusing to grant
more franchises for dams under the old
system, has given the holders Of such
franchises to understand that it will not
be so easy to have, franchises renewed
they must build the dams as they were
supposed to do when the franchises
were originally granted. There are
several such undeveloped water powers
in this vicinity, on which the franchises
expire this year. Since the power can
be transmitted by electricity any rea
sonable distance, it is safe to say that
the necessary capital will be forthcom
ing and the dams built this season.
This means a great deal to Ladysmith,
inasmuch as she will probably have a
choice of several propositions to buy or
lease an electric current At much less
expense than she is put to at present,
she can light her streets, pump her wa
ter and have light and power to furnish
to her citizens.
There are several small manufactur-
ing plants already here which would be
glad to use electric current instead of
the more expensive and less satisfacto-
ry steam or asoline engines. Besides
this there would be many other small
factories of one sort or another which
would locate here because of the cheap
power obtainable.
This is proposition that it will pay
our Commercial Club to look into and
if possible secure the current from one
of these water powers before it is con-
tracted for by some larger city.

FARMERS, LINES
MAY CONSOLIDATE
Proposition to incorporate as Rusk
County Rural Telephone Co.
Meeting Next Wednesday

Representative from the two far
mers' telephone lines centering IN
Bruce, the Hawkins line and the pro-
posed line extending south Of Lady
smith met at the News-Budget office
Tuesday and formulated plans for the
consolidation of, their lines into one
company to be known as the Rusk
County Rural Telephone Co.
A committee consisting of G. b.
Goocher, E. M. Worden and A. j..
Laidlaw were appointed to view the
several lines already built and secure
on option for their purchase by the
new company, with the provision that
all stockholders of the present COM
panies may take stock in the new COM
pany.
The plan for the new organization
provides for board of. five directors
to manage the affairs of the company.
The capital stock will be $4,000, the
amount of ac h share being $25.
No new lines will be built by the COM
pany with less than an average of two
phones per mile.
The meeting adjourned to Wednes-
day, the 28th, at o'clock a. m. at the
court house, when the report of the
committee will be received and further
steps taken to complete the organlza-
tion. All stockholders and prospective
stockholders are invited to be present
at this meeting.
The local company, which is all ready
to incorporate, has nearly $4,000 sub
scribed and has plans perfected to be-
gin setting poles south from this city at
once. The Hawkins company is pre-
pairing to build to Glen Flora at once,
and the Atlanta company is plann-
ing to extend it's line to Murry. Should
the consolidation be effected, these
lines will all be connected, and the
county fairly well covered from the
start.
1t is rumored that the Bell Tele-
phone Co. will secure a controlling
interest in the Chippewa Valley Co. if
present plans do not miscarry.

Business will prosper
Only when the people
OF the community
Make a united effort.
Your business depends
On others prosperity.
Unless we work together
Results are disappointing.
Only those prosper
Whose patrons are prosperous
Nothing succeeds like success
Towns thrive and flourish
Only when they deserve to-
When their own people
Neglect no opportunities.

charged, the entire proceeds of which
is to be used to purchase pictures to
adorn the walls of our school rooms.
The success of the exhibit and the
encouragement of a worthy cause
may be secured.
l. By the attendance of our citizens,
thereby creating fund to be expend-
ed by the schools for pictures.

ever amount they may feel disposed to
give toward the school fund.
8. BY giving your order for pictures

During the week about $4,000 citi-
zens and school children have been in
attendance at the exhibition of pic
lures.
The entire fund received through the
sale of tickets comes back into the
schools in the purchase of pictures and
the philanthropic citizens could not
better perpetuate their good will and
interest in the education Of the chill
dren than by helping this movement
in schoolroom decoration, which is en-
gaging the attention of many earnest
people in other cities.

Did As He Was Told.--Some years

beating up the Connecticut river. Mr.
Comstock, the mate, was at his sta
ton forward. According to his notion
of things the schooner was getting 9
"leetle" too near certain mud flats
which lay along the larboard shore
so aft he went to the captain. and witn
his hat cooked on one side, said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting 9
leetle too close to them flats. Hadn'i
ye better go about?"
The captain glared at him.
"Mr. Comstock, jest you go for'ard
and tend to your part Of the skinner
I'll tend to mine"
Mr.. Comstock went for'ard in high
dudgeop.
Boys" he beloved out, "see that
we have hooks all clear for lettin' go!'
"Ay, ay, sir!"
Let go, them" he roared.
Down went the anchor, out ratified
the chains, and like flash the Sally
Ann came luffing into the wind, and
then brought up all standing. Mr.
Comstock walked aft and touched his
hat.
"Well, cap'n, my part Of the skinner

Mr.. Justice Brewer, of the United

on himself in an after dinner speech
a time ago:
TN my early days, when I was on

who was counsel in several actions
before me. 1t so happened that most
Of my decisions, in these cases, were
against my friend
After court adjourned one day he
came to my chambers to have chat
with me, ard while we were talking a
very raw young country boy came In,

Jaekson's Coektails.-The latest
drink in Kansas is the Jackson cock
tail. 1t is a drink intended to avoid
trouble with the Kansas prohibitory
law and Fred Jackson, attorney-gen-
eral, for whom it was named. 1t can
be purchased anywhere in Kansas and
at any time, and the chap that sells I,
is never in danger of a prosecution,
and the fellow that buys it never will
be brought into court as a witness
The drink is made of three parts OF
ordinary apple cider and one part OF
Jamaica ginger. Cider is always good
and the ginger, being chiefly alcohol
gives the mixture a zest and favor
that old topers say is about the finest
ever.
Besides, the drink gets real action,
and that right away. Two good drinks
will make a man real funny and cute
three will cause him to rob his own
trunk and five are calculated to make
him prefer a bed Of shucks in the cor
ner of a vacant lot to a nice downy
couch at home.-Pittsburg Gazette
Times.
