Have you given enough thought to the electric power proposition to KNOW whether it can help you?
 The man who said ''time is money'' stated a great truth.
 For those requiring only moderate amount of mechanical power there is no substitute which even approaches electric power in economy efficiency and flexibiIity.

 The gasoline engine cannot successfully compete in operating cost reliability convenience with the electric motor.

 We will undertake to demonstrate that right, if you will indicate that you willing to listen.

Of 37,570.76. At this juncture the

OILING STREETS.

The matter Of oiling the streets was
brought up for consideration, Mr.. Watt
of the Standard Oil company address
ing the council. He stated that car
of oil, 5000 gallons, could be purchased
for $500, sufficient to oil twelve blocks
of the business streets, the streets to
be cleaned before the application. II

almost provides cushion pavement.
The venture at Larimore was claimed
unsuccessful but it was shown people
were not kept off it for twentv-four
hours and sand was put on after the
oiling, which also had it's damag ing
effect. The city, is now paying $l15
for sprinkling the streets and this
could be done away with after the
oiling. The matter was referred to the
street committee and a report will be
made Friday night at special meet

LICENSE APPLICATION,

A petition was submitted by Charles
V. Lyons and Chas. 0. Doety applying
for license to operate moving pic
ture show in the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Troppman store. This re-
suited in considerable comment among
the aldermen. The city engineer show
ed that the building to seat 500 would
comply with all ordinance requirements
for fire protection, providing sut1ic-
lint number Of exits.
Alderman johnson then read from
the North Dakota statutes showing that
theaters and amusements We're classed
in with peddlers and such, adding that
it remained with the council to decide.
He moved that the application be re.
jected. Alderman Miller stated that
all had to take chances and he did not
see why the city council should favor
any private business enterprise. Al,
derman johnson said that no goods
were delivered, but just amusement,
wherenpon Mr.. Lyons said that he III.
tended to operate good show and if
Mr.. johnson felt that he was not get.
ting his moneys worth he would put
him on the free list. This caused a
little laughter and after it had subsidized
Alderman Harris said that the business
men agreed to protect the opera house
and consequently the council should.
Alderman Halgrims wanted all the
license money it was possible to get and
insisted that the city needed the money
as well as any private business con
Germ. Alderman Newgard thought that
no preferences should be shown by the
council. When the matter came to a
vote the motion to reject prevailed and
was lost to 6. Alderman Turner then
moved that the application be accepted
upon the compliance with the provisions
Of the ordinance and this carried to

COLORADO LEADS
IN PEST CCNIROL

As agriculture in the United
States is becoming more pro-
ductive, and the use of clover
and alfalfa in rotation is be-
coming well nigh universal, the
very foundation of things rural
is threatened in many states by
pests which find the clover and
alfalfa great food, and on it
thrive and reproduce in such mum
bers that they kill the young al
falfa and clover. The intelligence
and energy of the men who have
labored together to construct
great irrigation works have de-
vised ways to control the grass
hopper and other pests. The
Cassaday-Teller bill is said to
be sure of passage by the pres
ent legislature in Colorado, and
already Nebraska and Kansas
have asked for similar laws. This
measure gives the State Entomol-
Ogist, his county and district in
spectors, the power and duty to
inspect lands infested with pests,
and to issue orders for their erad-
ication, or for the destruction of
their eggs, etc. Upon failure to
obey orders, the inspector may
perform the work and recover in
an action of debt; or, in dis
trict formed on petition, the costs
are made a lien on the property
Thus nominally, police regula
ton law will be really great
educational and cooperative
measure, and, after time, uni
versally approved. 1t is made
to apply to insects, gophers, pra-
irie dogs, rabbits, weeds, or plant
diseases, when so provided in the
petition, and will thus be tool
for the control of any pest COM
munity desires to eradicate. MIN
cographed copies of this bill will
be furnished anyone in the Unit
ed States who sends two 2-cent
stamps to the Anti-Pest Associa,
ton, Fort Collins, Colorado.

A Work of Art.

"See the Rockies first; climb
American rather than European
mountains" is the text of beau
tifully illustrated and exception
ally well written descriptive mar
rative, "The Peaks of the
Rockies" by Edwin L. Sabin, the
well known writer, just published
by the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
road company.
Few Americans realize that
here at home, and within easy
reach, the "outer" and "climb-
er" can mount peaks in the Rock
les higher and grander and seem
ically more magnificent than any
of the Alps and this book is issued
for the purpose of disseminating
information on the subject.
Appended to the story is printed
a list of mountain ranges and
peaks, with the attitudes of the
latter and the nearest railroad
stations. There is also a noun
tain map showing clearly the To-
cation of the best known peaks
in Colorado, Utah and New
Mexico.
