tury ago, those of you who appre-
ciate the needs of today.
Fifty years ago, to have intro.
duced electric lights at the offer OF
to-day would have been absurd; but
it will be Just as absurd to reject
them today as ii would have been
- have accepted them in eighteen
hundred and sixty one.
Edgefeld needs the lights and
must have them.
Should the Johnston light and
power BUSINESS be merged into a
corporation, and Edgefeld take half
! the stock, which is SIS, 200 the two
towns could be lighted. at almost
the same expense Of one; for one
electrical engineer could superin-
tend both towns, the same condi-
tions apply to line-man and fire
mal.
Whereas if we were separate
$1,80O wcMl go to expense, other
wise it goes to profit rather than ex-
pense.
Edgeield should take half inter-
est in the corporation.and ifthe reve-
nue. from the individual patronage
be in proportion to Johnston, the
yearly proceeds would be at least
10,900 with an expense of $4,000,
which leaves ST. 800 and this amount
would pay for your street lights,
pay the interest on the $4,000 bor-
rowed to invest at 5ao, and leave
$3.50. This business is in its infan-
cy, and is growing rapidly for this
months advance over last month is
$4,000. A two town business is far
better than a one.town business and
you are offered half interest in a
better business than g one town
plant. Think well.

San Diego, Cal, May 12.-While
Tia Juana, captured by the rebels on
the second, resumed business today,
1t was declared that investigation by
the United States authorities was GER
tain to be made as result of the in
discriminate lopting in the little Mex
lean town since the rebels occupied
it. 1t is declared that a large part of
the stock in several curio stores was
taken, not by the half-starved rebels.
but by the crowds of aouvenir-seek-
ing Americans who rushed across the
line almost as soon as the firing
ceased. Some of them did not stop
at taking souvenirs, but took all they
thought they could get across the
line.
Looting tourists yesterday took
even family photographs from the
homes Of poor Mexicans who had fed
when the firing began. Captain F. A..
Wilcox, commanding the United
States troops at the line, has done all
in his power, it is asserted, to stop
the looting, and in doing so had in
Cured the enmity of some tourists.
1t Is said that bill for the looting
damage will undoubtedly be sent to
Washington.
The rebels are receiving many re-
cruits.

STATEMENT FROM THE SALEM
WATER CO. ABOUT ITS PLANT
To the Citizens Of Salem: /:

To the Citizens of Salem
On May s, 1909, the three engineers
appointed to determine, by arbitra-
ton, the value of the Water Com
pany's plant, arrived at their con-
clusions. After two years of con-
slant discussion, explanations on our
part, interviews and criticism on the
part Of the various committees ap-
pointed to meet US, we find the ordi-
nance authorizing the purchase of
our plant to be vetoed exactly two
years afterwards or on May 8, 1911.
During all this time, we have re-
mained silent, have made no public
statement in reply to any of the
criticism which has been launched on
us. Now that the matter has been
decided in the negative, the Water
Company feels 1t incumbent, not only
in its own defense, but for the salts
faction of the citizens of Salem who
have voted, either for or against the
municipal ownership of its plant, to
make first and last statement as to
its attitude on the matter, and as TO
the condition of its property.
Our attitude has been one OF will
ing cooperation in the expressed
wishes Of the majority Of the citizens
of Salem If the city wished to pur-
chase our property, we were willing
to meet their wishes, and give every
opportunity to arrive at correct
judgment concerning the value OF
our property. This purchase, how
ever, was not to be made at our So
Iicitation. nor were we to enter into
a campaign to obstruct the acquire
ment of our property by the city
During the whole Of these two years
to all representatives engaged in the
negotiations with us we have given
full and detailed information pertain
ing to the physical conditions of the
plant, and have furnished every item
OF information which our books con-
tain that would have any bearing or
that would in any way lead to q
correct conclusion in determining the
value of the plant We have had our

ply and make proper answer to the
