REPORT ON CITY
POWER CONDITIONS
Il. A. ST0RRS MAKES VARIOUS RECON-.
MENDATlONS' RELATIVE TO The
MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT

Two weeks ago Monday H. A.
Storrs, formerly of the Reclama.
tion Service on the Williston pro-
ject and now of Denver, arrived
here and for the past two weeks
has been conducting a series of
experiments relative to the better
ment of the city lighting and water
works system.
Mr.. Storrs' instructions was to
determine the present condition as
to the efficiency of the plant, coal
consumption, costs of operation,
etc. and for him to make recom-.
mendations as to the desirability
of changes to secure better effici.
encv and service and minimum ex~
penditure for new apparatus.
The report takes up the posi-
bility of pur chase from the U. S.
r. S. electric power sufficient for
all the needs of Williston for
electric lighting and pumping the
city water and an interview with
Mr.. Savage of Helena, brings out
that the Reclamation Service would
doubtless be willing to furnish
power as business proposition
and that the charge for power
would be based on the actual ex-
pense involved by the plant in it's
operation for this service. How
ever it would not be possible to
arrange this matter in time to
furnish power for the city the COM
ing winter, but could be made by
next summer. AS the boiler setting
at the plant are all new it is con-
sidered a waste of money to tear
those out and put in new unless
sufficient large economy of fuel
could be secured.
A special Ignite burning furnace
made by the Western Furnace Co. .
could be installed under two of the
present boilers ut \ cost of about
$27O0 for the two $50 h. p. boilers
and of $500 for the two 100 b. p
boilers. The furnace company
after receiving the government
analysis from the Cedar Coulee
vein and the Bruegger mine found
that they could guarantee a rs per
cent saving of fuel which would
amount to $3.50 or $500 per month,
thus paying for the furnaces in
about ten months in fuel saving.
There would be several advantages
to the city in adopting this plan as
in event of the government furnish
ing power, the city will have in
reserve an efficient boiler plant to
call on for service at any time the

THE RISE OF The CITY TRACED FR0u
THE EARLIEST Times TO THE PRES.
ET-THE OLD AND new DIFFER

The lecture by President McVey
of the State University last Thurs.
day evening was listened to with
attention by q fairly large audience
but not so large as the lecture
deserved.
In his remarks the speaker traced
the history of the town from its
earliest beginning to the present
day. The rise of the city from the
cluster of medievel huts around a
church or castle through the rise
of the corporate body to the city
government of today. -;
Cities in the New World as q
rule follow the checker board plan
while Old World cities usually fol.
low the Typography of the land on
which they are built making wind
ing streets that center in one
square or plaza about which the
public buildings are built.
A large lumber of views we're
used in illustrating the different
points of the lecture, taken from
England and other European
countries. The width of streets
were shown, in many instances
being as narrow as sixteen feet
and lowered cost of paving was
used as an argument for the adop-
tion of narrower streets in this
country. The eight foot center
grass plot was recommended to
Williston as one of the best meth
ods of street Identification as we'll
as doing away with a wide strip
of practically useless street main
tainance. This system is especially
adaptable to conditions in the
residence portion of city.
The modern school house was
touched on as we'll as modern
methods in school inspection. In
the perfect school house the light
enters from one side only, thus
doing away with cross lights. The
Identification of the school grounds
and the planting of the shrubbery
and the cultivation of grass was
brought out as entering vitality
into the best results to be secured
in school work.
. Sanitation in the CITY, school and
home was emphasized and modern
methods for dealing with the fly
nuisance shown and recommended
tions and much bel pful advice given
along this line.
While in the city DR.. McVey
was guest of DR.. and Mrs. Modie
having been acquainted with them

Come at the witching hour of nine.

Wear little black mask to hide your

The above rhyme was the missive
sent to over sixty guests inviting
them to be the ghostly participants
in the Halloween eve festivities
given in the Library basement by
Misses McNiven, Osdal and Me-

served to intensity, the rooms
presented fair field for all the

of witches, Little Boy Blue; Tom,

Goose Girls, Gold Dust Twins and
the three Brownies, the last duo

Both in point of attendance and
numbers the booster meeting Tues
day evening at the l. 0. O. F. hall
was a rousing success.
The meeting was a get together
one and was shorn of much of the
formality of the regular club
meetings and the good fellowship
that was on tap every moment was
added to in no little way by the
cheering influence Of Buhler's
coffee and the soothing effects of
B0rden's cigars-both made in
Williston.
The matter of more members
was the first thing taken in hand
and after a number of rousing
talks, on motion, q committee of
two, NJ. J. Borden and F. p. Berg

four assistants to help secure the
new members. A live campaign
is now inaugurated and the club
hopes to increase the membership
to two hundred within the next
few days.
The sugar beet proposition was
brought up and 4 number of excel
lent talks made on the subject,
among them one by Atty. Craven,
being of an especially instructive
character.
On motion Chairman Anderson
