CITY MAY HAVE
BETTER lights
officers Of aho-Washington Electric
Light Co. Confer With City
Council in Regard to
Better Street Lights.

Messrs. Irwin and Shields of the
MISREPRESENTATION Light G. Power
Co., Nof Moscow, which furnishes the
electricity for the city Of Pullman
met with the city council Wednesday
evening to. discuss the matter of pro.
vidh2g better, lights for the streets
and alleys of the city.
The street lighting at present con-
sists of IL arc>lamps for the business
portion and 76 .32-candlepower in
candescent lights for the residence
districts. The lights are on a meter
and are now costing the city an
average of $1.00 each for the mean
descents and $5.55 each for the arc
lamps. The officials of the company
claim that the wires within the city
limits are now carrying the maxi
mum load of electricity and that to
provide more street lights would
necessitate a rewriting of the entire
city with 10 miles of wire, which
would mean an expense of $4,000 to
the company. They offer to do this,
however, and to furnish all the 100
candlepower lamps the city desires
at fiat rate Of $3.50 per month.
Under the present system the city
Is required to replace all the globes
that burn out, and under the pro-
posed system of the company, the
company would replace these globes.
1t costs the city at present about
$3.50 per month to replace the
globes that burn out. The company
offers to put in tungsten globes, with
up-to-date reflectors, and to place
them where they will give the best
service
The question which is puzzling the
council is whether the citizens want
the present lighting system, with
more lights scattered about the city,
or larger lights and the same number
of them. The present meter rate for
the street lights is 1-2 cents per
hour, the lights burning "a
hours each day, but the company
charging for only IL hours. The
rate is a very fair one when com
pared with the rates charged in other
towns served by the same company,
and it is a question whether the fat
rate of $3.50 for each 100 candle
power lamp will not prove higher
than the present meter rate, which
is stated in the franchise and which
can not be raised by the company
during the life of the franchise.
1t costs the city under the present
system about $500 per year to light
the streets and alleys, while the pro-
posed system would cost approx
mately twice that amount.

ana and also a high school commits
sion, which authorizes him to certify
students for admission to the state
schools.
Prof. Browning was principal of the
owen township high school at Clear
Springs, Indiana, for eight years,
when he resigned to accept a like po-
sition at Loogootee, Indiana. After
serving there three years he resigned
to accept the principa.ship of the
Clinton, H., schools. Last year he
was persuaded by the school board of
Atlanta, H., to accept the Superin-
tendency of the schools mere. He has
had a very pleasant years work and
the board offered him n substantial in
crease in salary to remain another
year, but he preferred to come to
Brookings.
From the Clinton high school an.
nual we quote the following:
"To Prof. j. w. Browning whose
sincere interest in the Clinton high
school is felt by every student, this
book is dedicated. The school is the
one object of his life, the one essen
tial interest which is ever upper
most in his thoughts. The results
have been what one would only ex-
pect from an aggressive man with an
ideal. Under his administration, the
school continues progressively to grow
in numbers, in influence, in efficiency,
in short in all for which the school
stands. Confidence in his ABILITY and
fair Kindness causes us to look to him
for advice and council.

class of 1910, there has graduated
from the Clinton High School in these
four years. one hundred and ninteen
students. All Of these find a warm
and trusted friend in Prof. Browning.
and whatever the future may bring
forth ne will find one hundred and
nineteen warm friends in these grad
yates"
\ Clinton paper says of Prof.
Browning:
Professor j. w. Browning. who
has been principal of the local High
school for the last four years and
who resigned at the close of this
school year and a short time after
his resignation accepted the position
as superintendent of the Atlanta
city schools finds himself in demand.
He has had several offers % be
come principal of some of the best
High schools in the state and has
been offered the position Of super
intendent of the Marengc city High
schools. Some of the positions he
has been offered are much Superior
to the Atlanta schools in the line
of salary, but Professor Browning
had been employed by the Atlanta
board and they did not seem dis
posed to release him, so he will take
the Atlanta position and will his
family to that city in a few days.
The salary he is receiving at Atlanta
is as good if not better than those
schools have V g paid. The schools
there are in good condition and pa
irons of the Clinton High schools
know that with Professor Browning At
their head. the schools will progress
nicely. Professor Browning carries
with him to his new field of duty the
best wishes of every scholar that has
ever been under his jurisdiction in
Clinton and also of all the patrons
of the local city schools"

Internationally got the city auditors
and treasurer's statement slightly
mixed. We make haste to rectify the
error on u part, as our readers

case. Everything coming from the
city treasurer's Office has always been

very much disappointed Tuesday
evening on not being able to get to

nearly nine o'clock. 1t seems to us
that it might be "A good scheme for
the Northwestern road to put on an
extra crew for a few days to get
some of the work cleaned up and mot
compel one or two of the regular
crews to do double duty. But Of
course they are too poor, and then
again what do they are for the trav-

CITIZENS HERE
GANG OF ROBBERS MAKE A HAUL
AT MODEL.
MAYOR APPOINTS EXTRA MAN
WHO WILL DO THE SlEUTH ACT
STRICTLY ON THE QUIET

If the gang of robbers who have
been operating in this city the past
few weeks are not rounded up, Brook
ings will soon have a reputation for
crime equal to Minneapolis. The
fourth robbery on Main street in the
weeks took place Sunday night, when
the Model Clothing store was entered
and stock 10 the value Of nearly two
hundred dollars carried away.
The robbers entered by the base
ment window in the real and gained
access TO the main floor by tearing 4
door from its hinges. The store was
thoroughly ransacked from one end
to the other, but the robbers paid par,
ticular attention to the furnishing
goods department and here they made
their biggest haul. 1t is of course,
impossible to tell the exact amount
of stuff they carried away, but it is
known that they secured about fifteen
dozen neckties, twenty dozen pairs Of
socks, a couple of pairs of shoes, a
two leather travelling bags, several
college %pennants and about all the
handkerchiefs that were carried in
stock. The ties, socks and handke.-
chiefs were taken out of the boxes and
probably were placed in the suitcases
and bags to be CARR ! away. Some
suits or overcoats may have been TAX
en-, but the above is all that has been
missed. 1t is hard to figure out just
what the robbers will do with fifteen
dozen neckties unless they have some
means Of selling them, as the average
of business only uses about one tie in
a year.
1t is very evident that the job was
done by someone familiar with the
store and surroundings, and it is prob
able that local talent have been
sponsible for all of the robberies that
have been pulled off on Main street ir
the last few weeks. About three
weeks ago Bud Pittinger's bowling
alley was entered and about fifty dol
lars worth of pipes taken. The fol
lowing week J.. G. Oyloe's store was
entered and over a hundred dollars
worth of supplies ta]en, and last
week the back room of the Temple
Furniture store was broken into and
a quantity of valuable tools carried
away. The police force have been on
the alert, but so far no trace of the
gang has been found.
A special meeting of the city coun-
ell was held Monday evening to dis,
cuss means to stop the reign of crime
and it was finally decided to have
Mayor Lcighty appoint another police
man who will operate strictly on the
quiet and whose identity will be
known only to the mayor. 1t has evil
IDENTIFY been an easy matter for the
gang to keep track of the movements
of Night Waterman Sorenson and pull
off their work while he was busy in
some other part of the business sec
ton, but with an officer running loose
incognito they are likely TO be
nabbed if they attempt any more
store breaking.
