To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: In your editorial of this morn- ing on Sewer Bonds and Sewer As sessments." the concluding paragraph states:
 And at any rate, notwithstanding the advice of the board of engineers, the city administration has already decided in favor of a bond issue
 I find on examination Of the city records that no such action by the city council appears thereon. and ask that you kindly correct. in tomorrow mornings issue. the paragraph above quoted. Yours respectfully.
 O. C. THOMPSON.
 Member of the Committee.
 Phoenix, Feb. ?. 1910.
 We hasten to oblige our friend En- gineer Thompson. who joined in the recommendation of a property assess ment to provide for the sewers. We ''correct" the paragraph objected to. by reiterating the statement therein made. On the 22d day of January. in the year of our Lord. 1910. the mayor Ol tue tlls b4 nix instructed City Attorney Thomas Prescott to prepare a cali for an election to vote bonds for a sewer system. Mir Prescott has prepared the papers and they now are on the desk of the city recorder.
 MT. Thompson is only technically correct There has been made. as yet. no official record of the instruction issued to the city attorney on Janu- ary 22. This is because the instruc- tion to the city attorney was not formal matter. and was not issued in official meeting. But it was at q meeting at which the mayor and councilmen were assembled. and it had all the force of a formal order.
 We trust that in placing this lamp at the feet of Engineer Thompson we have made his pathway clear to the truth.

SALT RIVER Be
HARNtSSED AND SUP
PLY LIGHT AND POWERl
CHARLTON RIVER IN AoAiR couN
TY HAS BEEN PUT TO WORK
BY MILLER AND is SUPPLYING
JUICE" TO QUITE A NUM-
Der
KIrksvlIle contempIates Harvesting
Same Stream and Lighting City
With lt-Farmers of To-day Are
Upto-date.

Since Adair county has a miller
who has harnessed the Charlton
river and succeeded In supplying him
self and neighbors with electric
lights and power there has been
some talk among farmers, north OF
this city, of attempting TO harness
Salt River where it broadems and
making ii furnish light and power.
A few months ago Michael Weber
conceived of the ddea OF making his
old water wheel produce electricity
with which to light his mill, his
home, the three stores of Yarrow
and the neighboring farm houses. He
accordingly purchased a small dyna-
mo OF seven or eight horsepower and
connected 1t by a belt to his wa
ter power machine. He soon found
that he could produce the best OF
light ALPHABETICALLY no cost. His neigh
bors had their houses wired and pro
vlded with tungsten and lncandescent
lights, agreeing to pay a nominal Zee
to Mr.. Webher for the power.
The old miller's home is on the top
of one of the Charlton bluffs, over
looking the mill and the dam below;
l. was not always convenient for Mr..
Webber to go to the mill TO turn the
water on or off to start or stop his
machinery, so by a mechanical con-
trivance, which he recently in
stalled, he can START or stop the ma
chinery from his bedroom.
The recent experiment Of Mr.. Web
Der was the first suggestion to Kinks.
ville that the Charlton River con
tains power in sufficient quantity to
light it's streets and to pump the wa
ter from the river to the city. AL
the suggestion OF some Of the bust
ness men and a local paper, the city
council of Kirksvdlle brought sew
eral hydraulic engineers to Adai4
County to make estimates of the
cos Of developing water power and
to make other preliminary surveys.
The Charlton River is Z miles from
Kirksville, and is about two hunderd
and fifty feet below the city. It was
argued by some OF the old heads oi
the county, who had seen only thf
old overshot waterwheel work and
had seen farmers wait days andweek
for their turn to get q bag of gris'
ground, that the river could never
be made to develop sufficient pow
err with which to light and water thu
city. The engineers who visited thu
river, however, said that the Charitoi
would develop from 4-00'horsepowe
in December and January to 1,400
horsepower in May and June. Tn
report of the engineers confirms tn
opinion Of the old miller at Var
row, who was the first mar in Adai
County to discover the Charlton as
source OF water power. A move
ment is on foot now to harness TIN
\ Charlton.
