the laying of the new ones, while reg
ulations were made governing the use
of water for irrigation purposes, An
emergency reservoir was constructed
above the old reservoir and the latter,
was drained. A force of men was put
at work and the bottom of the large
lake thoroughly scraped. At the same
time q large and complex ftltering
plant was installed Immediately be-
low the lake, through which the water
passes into the main which conducts
It to the city. This work completed.
Attention was given to stopping leaks
in the mains, with the result that the
pressure has been much increased. At
recent fires the pressure has been re-
markable; in fact the water service
was such as to cause favorable COM

A suggestion OF further improve

known that w. A. Clark at the time

A. Clark interests took over the local
electric light plant and the water sys-
tenn. both OF which were sadly in need
Of an overhauling. The electric light
plant was housed in building at
the planning mill Of the Anaconda Cop

time equipped with machinery which
was taxed to its full capacity by the
requirements OF the CITY. Work was
started at once and the plant put In

at Bonner. capable of supplying more
electricity than was required at Mis-
soula, the plan Of. extending the COM
pany's power line up the valley seemed
wholly feasible. At the same time the
small plant at Victor was purchased
by the company, and it was planned
to furnish electricity to this town as
well as Stevensville and Corvallis from
the power line Rapid progress was
made with the line up the valley and
The Daily Missoulian., 1911-12-17

early in the year the change from the
local plant to the power line was
made. During the meantime the lines
IN this city were overhauled and put
in good, serviceable condition, all the
transmission lines being moved to the
alleys. All poles and wires were re-
moved from Main street, which added
much to the. appearance Of that thor
oughfare.
The condition of the machinery in
the plant at the planing mill was in
such shape that 1t would have been
impossible for the plant to carry the
load which was cared for in the city
by the rower line. and this fact, to-
gether with the unsatisfactory loca-
tion of the plant. induced the COM
pany to erect II large and efficient
emergency plant in Pine Grove addi-

already been constructed At the pres

the adoption of these arcs Hamilton

be increased to 80 within q short time,

Alexander Has Fine Audience
AT Bonneville.

Bonneville, Miss June 13.-
Hon. C. H. Alexander, in an adj
dress before a splendid audience
here yesterday, made good his
declaration that he would turn
"Vardaman's quarters inside

sisted in personal attacks and
cowardly insinuations.
Furthermore, Mr.. Alexander
accomplished his task in a very
decisive manner, He laid bare
the hypocrisy of Vardaman's
pretensions as a prohibitionist.
and friendship for the cause of
temperance, graphically describ-
ing how liquor flowed as free as
water in Vardaman's head
quarters throughout the legis
lative caucus, and how his sup
porters actually invaded the
state house and pre- empted a
room in the suite of Commission
err of Agriculture Blakeslee,
where liquor was kept for the
use and convenience of members.
Mr.. Alexander also charged
that Mr.. Vardaman gave at least
one champagne supper during
the caucus, and, according to
the testimony of a reputable wit
ness. grew very tipsy.
mr., Vardaman cannot, and
will not, deny my assertion that
there was no liquor kept in my
headquarters. If he denies my
charges as to his own head
quarters, and the fact that his
supporters carried liquor into the
state house to be dispensed
among the members, | will give
the names of witnesses, most of
whom were then, and are now,
his supporters. The voters are
entitled to know the truth in re-
gard to these matters, especially
since Mr.. Vardaman is trying to
make it an issue. To borrow his
own words, which are with him
a mere phrase and not a rule of
action, Let the blessed sunlight
of publicity shine in.'"

OUR GOOD PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Laws Are Being Invoked on This I'm
portant Question and Much
Work Has Been Done.
(By q. H. ALFoRD.)

2 - KH
The best evidence Of a high type OF
educated and refined civilization Is
the building and maintenance Of first
class public roadways. This is
fully evidenced by the incessant and
continuous demand of the whole
American nation for Improvement in
our public roadways. County. state
and national laws are being invoked
on this important question, and in
many sections magnificent roadways
have either been projected and COM
pleted or are under construction. Good
roads mean better schools, more
churches and an increased social re-
%lationship in the various rural neigh
borhoods. From an economic stand
point, the value of the first class high
ways can hardly be estimated. The
annual loss by farmers in the con
tinual wear and tear on horsepower,
breakage of vehicles and loss Of time
in travelling on bad roads amounts in
the aggregate to a fabulous sum each
year. With the exception of taxation
for educational purposes there is no
cause in the interest of u rural
population to which the taxes of the
people could be directed to greater
benefit than the equipment and main
tenance of first class public road
ways.
The federal government could not
expend a part of the public funds to
hoffor oduo nfo 90 fhon ora nftnO or00
annual appropriations to be distrib-
uted among the various states to aid
in public road improvement. We have
new been able to understand why
the national government could annu-
ally appropriate millions of the public
money to the maintenance of the pub
lie waterways and harbors and In the
construction Of magnificent public
buildings in centers Of commerce and
do practically nothing toward the I'M
provements OF the public highways Of
the country. We believe that the ma
tional government should each year
appropriate an equal amount of money
for the improvement OF u public
highways that is expended on water
ways, harbors and public buildings.
If this amount was prorated among
the different states on the basis of
public road mileage, not population.
and each state would then raise a
special revenue equal to the appro-
priations of the federal government.
we would soon be able to make rapid
Roadway in road improvement. With
the general Introduction Of fine maca-
dam roads, farmers could introduce
the use of motor vehicles and reduce
the cost of marketing their products
to a minimum.
We have taken the position before.
and adhere to 1t now, that the best
return on money invested by the
state or nation is appropriations made
in the interest of farmers and the de-
yelopment of u vast agricultural re-
sources. There should be a good
roads club in every community and
county to cooperate with state and
national organizations. A steady ac-
tive campaign should be taken in the
interest of this work all owe the
country. and especially in the south.
Let us have good roads first, last and
all the time.

Alexander Speaks to People of

Laurel, Miss, June 5th. Hon.
c.. H. Alexander at Laurel to-
right, this afternoon at Sharon
Church and this morning at
Ellisvifle addressed not less than.
twelve hundred Jones county
voters. He was most enthusias
tically received and applaudt d
at all three places. His logical,
clear, concise and vigorous state
ment of his position on all pub
lie questions and his unqualified
condemnation Of the use of
epithets or personalities in the
campaign met with a demon
strated approval.
Clean politics was in part his
text, and his exposition thereof
clean and forceful. He demolish-
ed the defenses of Mr.. Varda
man one after another and with
sarcasm and irony exposed the
subterfuges resorted to by the
latter to conceal his ignorance of
public questions and his methods
of beclouding the actual issues
with abuse and vituperation. He
reviewed his own record, stated
clearly his position on all public
questions and evaded no issue .
He called attention to the fact
that Vardaman had made com
mon cause several times and this
evoked applause. He gave the
people facts, and called their at
tention to the record. He dealt
in no uncertainties and his hear
ers quickly made their preference
felt for facts rather than the
fancies and vagaries of his op-
ponent, who was here a month
or so ago. They were glad and
let him know it.
It can be truthfully stated
that no speaker recently has
made as deep an impression or
or gained as many friends here
as did Alexander in the three
speeches he made today in which
he reached the people. They
felt that he was in earnest and
meant what he said. Even the
Vardaman men admit that he
did we'll and the Alexander men
all over the County who heard

await the verdict Of the people
