everything pointing to still greater,
achievements in the year ahead, will
be the showing made to 500 Line di-.
rectors, who will assemble in Minnea-

ing for the system earned last year,
gross $26,6s4,24o.93, a record never
before attained and $4,711,s33.15 in,
excess Of the year preceding. This
high record which marks the period
that closed June 80, 1912, is likely to
stand only until June 80, 1913, for
President Edmund Pennington said:
"The increase was made despite crop
losses in 500 Line Territory was due
in Fart to general development Of
the country, and the outlook for the
year to come is very favorable
Net Earnings Increase.
The 500 Line proper earned $l7,-

That the Western Utilities Corpora
lion, the new company which has sue.
ceeded to the business Of the Devils
Lake Improvement company, means
business, is best evidenced by the fact
that the order for new machinery has
already been placed and that will ar
rive in Devils Lake in a short time.
h. Kepler, the new manager, in an
interview with The World stated that
work would be rushed, in an endeavor
to have everything completed and in
working order not later than January
1st, 1913.
The engine which has been ordered
for the new plant is Of the latest i'm
proved Corliss pattern, and is calcu.
lated to develop $50 horsepower, with
a fifty per cent overload. This mon
ster machine weighs $4,000 pounds and
the Aywheel alone weighs 5000 pounds
and is II feet in diameter.
Mr.. Kepler is authority for the state
ment that the contract for the ney1
buildings will be let within the MA
few weeks and that work will be starfs\
ed just as soon as the contract has
been let and signed.
All the machinery and all the build
tngs for the new plant will be the
latest and best that money can buy
and nothing will be left undone that
looks toward giving the people of
Devils Lake the best possible service
in light, power, telephone and water.
The site for the new plant has not
not as yet been definitely selected but
1t is expected that it will be within a
few days.

Despite the fact that there are

not seem to be of the calibre desired.
The men refuse to go to work and if
they continue to persist the police

Oh we yearned to sit as a coun-

 gees Of the city and chew the rag. And we dreamed of Flag as the
 Sky Scraper town A busy and seething mart And the peak was known as the
 Matterhorn Brought joy to our poor old heart. But our dreams will not materialize On our pessimistic course; For Herrick don't know we're on
 the map And Williams wants divorce. And the things they do to a coun-
 cilman Are plenty, and you can bet If you spend the mon you're a
 son-of-a-gun- If you don't, you're the bum
 nest yet. Honor and fame and an honored
