RURAL HOMES
FARMERS WOULD LIKE TO GET
ELECTRIC CURRENT FROM
:, PARK RIVER PLANT. .

Park River, N. D., May 20.-7The
question Of making a proposition to
the city council for the extension of It's
electric light system into the country
to supply current for lighting and
power purposes is being agitated by
the farmers residing east Of town
along the Park river.
1t is understood that the offer which
they may propose to the city will be
sufficiently liberal to enable the Jul
Gil to consider the matter seriously
when it is brought before that body. If
the local lighting system should guild
the rural extension now discussed, the
increased patronage would likely VAR
rant a twenty-four hour continuous
service owing to the demand which it
would create for power purposes.
The farmers want good illumination
in their homes and at the same time
they want a safe light. The expense
Of installing a gas lighting plant runs
from $3.50 to $500, n while this will
furnish good light it is not so safe and
convenient as electricity. 1t is the
element Of danger connected with in
dfyidual gas plants which has started
the agitation for making a proposition
to the city for electric current. The
farmers who are Interested in the
movement believe that the money an
average gas plant would cost would be
better spent by using it towards build
ing an extension of the city electric
system out in their direction. This
would enable them to light their
homes, as well as use the current for
various minor power purposes. The
price of the average gas plant would
build about a mile of electric line.
A proposition will likely be made to
the city authorities for a rural extern
sion Of its lighting system in a short
time.

The Linton Record hands out this:
If the shades of the departed are
permitted to view the affairs Of earth,
what must be the disgust which pos
sesses the spirit of Major Edwards
when he sees the frantic efforts Of the
new management of The Fargo Forum
to climb on the democratic band

And down in the southwestern cor
ner of the state there is a newspaper
that insists that The Forum is a gang
paper. IF this is kept up The Forum
will not. know exactly what stand to
