VJlL ASK FOR FRANCHISE.
re Southern Wyoming Power. Electric
and Water Company Wants to Put
In Water Works for Saratoga.

trio and Water Company, tina
this company will ask for a fran
cbise to put in water works 70
Saratoga, very shortly. Ira B
CasteeIe, one of the company, il
now in the west getting matters il
shape to put into action some o
the works of the company. Theii
first move will be to establish 1
water works for this town, if they
are successful in securing the fran.
cbise. With this worked out they
will take up the irrigation of the
close lands on either side of the
town starting a ditch up near the
mouth of Encampment river on
both sides, and running down be-
low Saratoga and irrigating the
first bench lands back from the
river on both sides. They will es-
tablish power plants all along the
river and will sink deep sumps
close to the river from which they
will pump the water for bitches.
These pumping plants will be put
in every where convenient along
the river, clear up to the Colorado
line and will eventually irrigate
and cover all of the land on both
Of the river from North Park be-
yond Saratoga to the north AT
some place on the river a suitable
place will be picked out for the
main power plant which will fur
nish power to all the pumping
plants along the river and will
supply this entire valley with cleo
tric power and lights. After they
get in the main plant and have
supplied the wants of this valley
they expect to run a power line
to Rawlins to supply that place
with power and lights.
This company is composed of
men who are we'll able to finance
this matter and see it through and
it will be the means of building up
this valley as it should be built up
and in the right way. A good
deal of the finances will be local
capital and this is a much surer
manner than to risk raising money
In the east, as have SO many other
concerns that have failed. Proba-
bly, this summar will see the in
~stallation and operation of the
hrst two or three small bitches as
we'll as water works for Saratoga,
and the first small power plant.
We are more interested in water
works for the town now than most
anywhere else. The insurance
rate would be cut in half and this
alone would pay the interest on
a good capital investment. This
company wants the cooperation
OF every citizen in the town, in SO
lar as the water works is concerned,
as they will have nothing to dc
with the matter if they run into
much opposition.
Every one in the valley should
put their shoulder TO the wheel to
nelp this company along in every
way possible as it means the com
pletlon of the long anticipated de-
'eiopment of this valley. The
personal of this company SHOULD
insure It's success. and we hope t.
'ee every one doing his best to
ward the company. The first mov'
VIII he to irrigate enough land OF
el'ner side of Saratoga for at leas
ioo families and this alone mean
uuch TO every one interested il
Saratoga.
