ELECTRICITY TO LANSING.
Upper Iowa Power Company to Sup-
ply Another Town Thirty-Six
Miles Distant.

A representative of the DEBORAH
Light and Power Co., was here two
weeks ago in consultation with our
local light men, Messrs. Dolphin &
Olson, with view to extending the
power to Lansing if arrangements
could be made. We understand the
cost of making the extension to this
city would be about $4,000. Wheth-
er the company can see that much
money in the plan or not is the
question to be decided. We under
stand that Messrs. Dolphin & Olson
are perfectly willing to sell their in
terests here to the new company.
Their charter expires in a year or
two more and then the new COM
pant could come in here in spite of
them if they wanted to. Messrs.
Dolphin & Olson realize that it will
be better for them to dispose of
their equipment to the new concern,
rather than oppose their coming in
here, a wise decision we think.
Among the advantages to be gain
ed by the people in having the new
company in here, will be all night
and day light service. Those desir-
ing the use of electric power in day
time, can be accommodated. Many
will use 1t, no doubt, in place of
steam and gasoline.
Since the above article was placed
in type, Mr. r. M. Burtis, repre-
senting DEBORAH Light & Power Co.,
has made visit here and Wednes-
day night met with the City Council
and a number of the business men,
He laid before the assemblage his
proposition, which is to furnish a
day and night service and to pro-
vide light at saving of 25 per cent
over the present rates. Besides the
Power Co. would do the city pump
ing at a great saving over what it
now costs the city. The Power Co.
has splendid equipment, which is
steadily being added to, some $685.
600 additional having lately been
expended on new machinery.
The matter of their coming to
Lansing is one in which every citi-
zen should be interested. Their
coming insures the city a perman-
ent, first class lighting system, with
ample power for day and night use.
The matter of voting the new COM
pany franchise to come in here
will be acted upon at the election
next month.
Another meeting of the Council
will be held tonight.-Lansing Mir

CENTENARIAN DEAD.
Ridgeway Pioneer 1O1 Years, !
Month, 4 Day Old Passes
Away.

Miss Ingeborg Wangsnes, of
whose death we made mention last
week, was born in Wangsnes, Sogn,
Norway, Jan. /, 1910, where she
lived for 55 years. In 1866 she
came to America with her husband
and family, and has since lived near
Ridgeway until about three years
ago. She has for a number of years
made her home with her only living
child, Chris. Wangsnes ard when
he moved to Ridgeway she came al
so to spend her remaining years on
earth. Her husband, Nels Wangs-
mes, died IL years ago, and of The
six children born 10 them, five are
dead.
1t is seldom that one attains the
age of 101 years, 1 month and 1
day. but suck was the age of this
aged woman. Since her husbands
death, eleven years ago, she has
spent most of her time in bed. She
has not been very sick, but weak
and unable to be up. Her hearing
was poor, but she was able to read
and spent the greater portion of her
time in this manner.
She was a member of the Luther
an Synod church Funeral services
were held Sunday from the Lincoln
church, Rev. Thos. Nilsson officiat-
ing, and interment was made in the
church cemetery.-Ridgeway Re-
view.

Ridgeway May Have Electric Light

If the plans r. A. Griswold has
formulated materialize, Ridgeway
will have an electric light system all
of its own. Alvin figures that with
his 2S horse power engine he can
furnish $50 32-candle power lamps,
and that the dynamo and wiring OF
the town can be done for 5000. II
the town will purchase the dynamo,
ETC., he says. he can furnish the city
with free street lights. If the town
does not act favorably in the matter,
he will endeavor to organize stock
company.-Ridgeway Review.

however, that this intangible charac-
ter which belongs to Marietta College
is recognized as sweet and whole
some and inspiring. Its traditions are
good. its customs sober, and cult
waited, and those who study here re-
ceive a corresponding uplift. This
spirit finds expression in all College
enterprises The truly remarkable
record In athletics is largely due to
its presence, while in other relations
it Is also manifest.
The College Ideals.
Marietta College does not aspire to
be a University. She regards the
undergraduate work so important
that she is anxious to devote herself
exclusively to this. She aims to give
the broad general culture necessary
as foundation for successful spe-
cialization. She seeks to train for
useful living and to inspire with high
ideals.
Marietta college gloFies In the
close contact OF trained teacher and
immature student, which has always
been Characteristic of her educa-
ton. She aims to maintain this most
precious feature.
Marietta College now, as ever, de-
sires to be broadly Christian. In their
first published statement In 1888 the
Trustees declared: 1.-THE Board wish
it to be distinctly understood that the
essential doctrines and duties Of the
Christian religion viii be assiduously
inculcated, but no sectarian peculiari-
tiles OF belief will be taught" In &C
cordance with this purpose the Col
lege is glad to stand on this broad
Christian PLATFORM, to hold up essen
tial Christian ideals and to promote
the universal Christian life. These
are the highest things in life and any
training Is detective that omits them.
Marietta College aims, then, to be
a real College, Christian in spirit,
thorough in scholarship. maintaining
the best traditions of the past, yet
ever ready to take a forward step
when assured of its wisdom.
While not satisfied with present at
tainments, the College believes that
these ideals find expression in her
life, and that reasonable approx
nation to them Is realized.
