Of ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
Manager Stevens and Other Members Of The
Company ArrIve-Are Considering The
Reduction Of The Light Rates

ali believe that that lMr. L. M. Davis
has done wonderful work in the build
ing up of a plant in this city, We
were astonished to learn what Mr.
Davis had accomplished since INSTALL
ing the plant, in December, 1901.
1--WE figure that ii the business tn
creases in this city during the next
three years. as during the past three
years, we will have to expend from
$100, 900 to 100000 in extensions and
additional equipment,
1T is not our habit to go into .
city unless we believe that It has .
future, and Minot certainly looks good
to us. Naturally we are In q posi-
ton to do a good deal tor boostinS
for the cities in which we are located.
and we will let no chance 60 by to
do whatever We can for this SiV. ;
I'VE are going to add business
getting department within a short
time. This will be placed in charge
of man who will study the needs OF
the office, and reach out after new
business. :.
I'VE employ modern methods OF
business and naturally We are good
advertisers. We believe In advertis-
ing, and get good returns from 1t.
eve do not Contemplate making
any changes in our employs in Minot.
1t is policy OF our organization,
when taking over new plant, TO
keep all the employees who are willing
to remain.
''Th S company cannot be consider
ed trust While We have plants in
thirty-five or forty of the most i'm
portant cities of the United States,
none OF them are in direct competi-
tion with any other.
Naturally, in each city, we estab-
lish rates, in accordance with the
cond tions. We are now making an
investigation and hope to be able ia
reduce the rates for lighting in this
city within short time.
"Byllesby & Co. Is q big concern,
employing on the average five thou-
sand people, including linemen."
Mr.. Stevens, the manager, SAID:
81 like Minot first rate. I came pre-
pared to like your city and 1t looks
better to me than thought it would"
Byllesby & Co. com eto Minot with
the very best wishes of all Of our cit-
zens. We have explicit confidence In
their good faith to &ve US q modern
service with the lowest possible rates
consistent with good business met
hods.

considerable more than a third Of the

the state ought to be divided into
northeast and southeast districts.
"This may not suit everybody in
the state, especially the residents Of
tho Jim river valley, but it seems to
be the fairest way to make the divi-
sion. Some are inclined to make 8
"ahoe string" district the entire
length Of tho Red river valley. This
would hardly be fair. In the hrs1

The Minot Light and Telephone
company is now under new manage
ment, l.. M. Davis, who has been con-
nected with the concern for the past
ten years, having stepped out Tues
day to give his place to A. e. Stevens
of Chicago, manager for Byllesby &
CO. Of Chicago, who purchased the
plant some weeks ago.
The new manager is a young man,
and is considered one OF the most
capable electrical experts in the
country. He is a graduate of the
University of Minnesota.
Accompanying Mr.. Stevens were
r. G. Hunt and w. H. Hodge, re-
presentatives of the Byllesby concern
and they are now engaged in max
ing a thoro investigation OF the bust
ness Of the company, with view .,
lowering the rates substantially, II
possible. 1t is more than likely that
the rates for electrical lighting will
be reduced, tho the telephone and
heat rates may remain the same.
Byllesby & Co. own 3S plants in the
United States, with many feeders fol
smaller cities. They own the Fargo
and Grand Forks plants and the citi-
zens of those places are more than
pleased with the service and rates
Byllesby & Co are modern business
men realizing that the only way fol-
a corporation to successfully serve
the public in these times, is for thai
company to take the people into its
confidence, and practice the teaching
Of the Golden Rule.
The retiring manager Mr.. Davis
has nothing to say for publication
with the exception that he has labol
ed untiring for the past ten years
and he now wants a rest. He ha
been successful, and while having
had many matters of business OF hi!
own to care for, he has unselfshl,
given much of his time for the up
building Of the city. He has alway!
been one of Minot's good boosters
and he is a gentleman whom none o
us would care to lose from our midst
We trust that he will remain witt
US.
Mr.. Davis s considering making
journey to the Isthmus of Panam
soon, but If he does, he will return
to Minot within q few weeks to loo
