Revenues and Cost of Service.
There is great deal of misunder
standing in the minds of the public re
garding the revenues Of light pIani
and cost Of operation. We have, there
fore determined that our patrons anc

details and be disabused Of the notion

The foregoing does not include a
percentage of the entire value of the
plant to be charged up as expense
for the item of depreciation. This is
not taken into account till the end of
the year, on June 80, in making the
reports, but it will amount to $4,000
or more this year
If we all take long pull and a
strong pull for vinita this plant will
some time be large enough to make
some money. We cannot make any
money till Vinita is very much bigger.
Now you know why the light plant
always boosts for Vinita
Now you know why we want to
have our franchise extended.
One of the editors of our papers
says he was asked if this franchise
gave franchise to the ice plant II
has absolutely nothing to do with the
ice business in any way. Anyone can
put in an ice plant 1t does not need
a franchise any more than grocery

of taking part in the games of football
and baseball. This is in the shape
of a track and field meet to be held
in this city on April 80. Prof. Fitch
has organized an association which
he will attempt to make annual, to
consist of the high schools of the var
ious surrounding towns, and in which
the following events are to take place
for which prizes will be offered for
first place. For this year the events
will be as follows: Pole vault, run
ming high jump, running broad jump,
shot put, IL pounds, hammer throw, u
pounds, discus throw, 100 yard dash,
22O yard dash, 220 yard hurdles, 44O
yard run, 1 mile run.
Tho this other events may be added
The original idea of j. p F. was
to get organized the high schools Of
Chelsea, Miami Pryor Creek and At
ton together with Vinita. Further
than this, the schools have not been
sounded but others may enter. Any
student of these high schools, good or
bad will be allowed to compete in as
many events as he desires. He must
be a regular attendant, and as an in
ducement for study will be required
to have his work up to certain stand
ard. The idea of the field meet is 10
give physical training to pupils. to
give them relaxation from school
work in doors and give all the pupils
a chance at some of the pleasures to
be derived from competition in athletic
games, from which his physique has
hitherto, perhaps, kept him barred.
The advantage of this kind of work
will readily be seen by those, who
are opposed to harder athletics.
There is practically no chance for the
track or field athlete to receive the
slightest injury 1t takes very little
time from the studies, requiring only
few minutes each day for the train
ing. Again the boy is brought to a
realization of the physical injury
which the habits he may have formed
are doing him. in a more forcible man
ner than any verbal method is pos
sible to give.
The work in the various schools will
be directly under the supervision of
some members of the faculty and will
be very closely watched. that the
boys are not allowed to over-train.
The Vinita high school has some
athletes II whom she is justly prJud.
In few days will appear the base
ball schedule. Prof Fitch promises
to treat the fans to some good exhibit
tions of high school baseball.
