The Sioux Valley Power Company
will hold a directors meeting next
Wednesday,, February !, to discuss
important matters in connection with
plans for their new dam and for i'm
mediate improvement of their water
power. The company is strong imam
cially and able to begin work at any
time. The engineers figure on a 16
foot fall at the dam and with a rea-
sonable supply of water can develop
about 500 horse power. The main
power wire will run direct to Canton
and a branch wire will connect In
wood. Everything is working harm
oniously with something like $4,000
in sight to push the work rapidly
when the start is made. The success
of this projecu means a power boom
tor Canton with a day and night ser
vice and all machinery in town run
by electricity. This means a great
deal towards the upbuilding of our
beautiful little ci ty.
The Pickett -Pidcoe Great White
Sale" ad in the LEADER last week
proved to be a winner, Is the big
double store vas filed all day and
Mr.. Pickett reports his Saturday
business as the best in the history of
the big store. 1t pays to let the peo-
pie know what you have to sell and
it pays to advertise in the LEADER,
because the LEADER is read every
week in the homes of over twelve
hundred farmers in Lincoln county
alone, and the LEADER goes into $50
homes in Canton. Advertising in a
paper that reaches all the people in
the territory tributary to Canton is
what counts when you want the peo-
pie to know what you have to sell,
and the rates are as cheap as charged
by papers with half it's circulation.
