VILLAGE WILL BECOME A CITY
ACCORDING TO WORD RECEIv.
ED BY COUNTY AUDITOR.

County Auditor Bice received word
;erday that the citizens of Lawton
village are ready to incorporate their
little city and the proposition will
come up at the next meeting of the
county commissioners which occurs the
28th of this month.
This is a step in the right direction
and as the population Of that place
now is estimated as being around
three hundred there are enough resi-
dents to get a charter and as the vii
layers realize that it will give them
better projections against the evils,
better schools and more prosperous
town, there is no doubt that every.
thing will be done to help the PROPOSE
ton along.

injured short time ago when going

struck his head, causing the injury.

BISMARCK HAS INSTALLED
WHITE WAY ON TIE MAIN
STREETS FOR ADVERTISING.

An example of what is being done
in other cities and of what is now pos.
sible in Devils Lake if municipal
lighting plant is installed may be gath
cred from the following article taken
from the Bismarck Tribune of recent
date:
Bismarck streets take on decidedly
metropolitan appearance these even
ings, when the new lights come on,
The new lights are known as the c'ust.
er and ornamental kind. While they
produce the illumination they are at
the same time beautiful to look upon.
"The great white way" is the man.
ner in which districts arc designated
that are supplied with the cluster il
Elimination. Bismarck has more and bet
ter street lights than any city of he1
size in the United States, if not in the
world.
There are 1874 posts up to this time
in the Bismarck system. Each post
has five lights, four Of 60 and one of
100 watts, thus giving $40 watts to
the post. "Some light this" you will
say.
The people who had charge Of the
construction of the new light system
in Bismarck took much greater than
the average interest, for the contract
ors, Grambs & Peet, are residents Of
the city. When bids were invited fol
the new lighting there was plenty Of
competition. The contractors Of Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth
and Sioux City sought the job, but the
local firm Of Grambs & Peet won out
and the manner in which they have
done the work commends them to othe,
North Dakota cities and vindicatea
the Judgment of the Bismarck commits
sion.
Two and one-half miles of submarine
cable was used to convey the electric
ity to the posts. This cable is ever
lasting. There are three wires insu
lated with Para rubber, being covered
and incased in lead pipes, which are
wound with asphalt hemp. Over this
one two layers of steel bands, covered
with hemp and asphaltum. This cable
is buried two feet underground out
side the curbing. This cable is brought
up inside the posts when the connect
ions are made.
Four of the lights will burn unit
eleven O'Clock at night and the toI
one will burn all night.
The cable was laid in just nine days
a wondrous feat considering that tn,
ground was frozen and some delay wa.
occasioned by failure Of the materia
to arrive on time.
The new light system extends from
Second to Seventh and from Main tt
Thayer streets. There are four post
to each side of a square and they
make fine appearance. It is admit
ted that the Bismarck job is the hes
in the state.
In testing out the lights it wa
found that every post had been prop
erly connected. The work was all don,
under the eye Of an inspector and tn
system in all its perfection will b.
turned over. to the city next Monda.
night.
North Dakota is fortunate in havinI
a firm of contractors so competent Il
do this kind of work as Messrs. Gramb
and Peet.
