FRANCHISE VOTED
At MON1EzUMA
oskALoosA TRACTION & LIGHT
co. GRANTED RIGHTS.
BIG IMPROVEMENT is ASSURED
Power Line viii Be Extended and
the Present System at Monte
yuma improved at Cost
Il Of $4,000. co..

The election at Montezuma on Fri.
day, ratifying the action of the town
council, in granting the Oskaloosa
Traction & Light Company fran
chise, carried almost unanimously.
OF the 22O votes polled, only ten were
against the proposition Representa-
tives of the o. T. & L. Co. will go to
Montezuma next week, take over the
local plant, and proceed to make the
promised. improvements at Monte
yuma
Anticipating the favorable action Of
the voters, preliminary work has
been proceeding in the general offices
in Oskaloosa for several weeks, and
plans and plats are now about com.
pleted for the extension of the trans.
mission line from New Sharon to
Montezuma Last year the line was
now in successfuli operation. The
new line follows the principal high
ways in a northeasterly direction,
passing through parts of Prairie, I'm
ion and Pleasant Grove townships in
Mahaska county and then passes
through jackson township. in 3Powe-
shiek county to Montezumd.. 1t is
possible that the line will be built so
as to include Barnes City, as this
town is only little off one side from
the established route.
When the line was built last year
to New Sharon, it was built of the
best materials and sufficiently strong
enough to carry any extension that
might be made in the future, so that
this part of the line will not have to
be changed. The poles are of steel
of the tri-tubular pattern and are set
in about 80 inches of concrete at the
base, so that they will stand for ages.
They are coated and projected
against rust and have metal cross
arms SO that "a very high voltage can
be carried with the least loss of
power
The line to Montezuma and posi-
bly, Barnes City will probably be all
that can be worked out this year as
the company have other improve.
ments under way at the power sta
ton, but a further extension of the
Transmission. lineA Is, probable in the
near future. The territory north of
Montezuma, comprising Grinnell
BROOKLYN and Malcolm IS u1ier con-
sideration and if plans work out fay-
orably this field may be added later.
There has also been some talk OF sup
plying What Cheer and Pella With
lines of a like character but these
projects win no doubt materialize
later #f
The company has all OF these i'm
provements well in hand and taken
all together will require quite large
force of men as well as a large out
lay of funds. 1t has been estimated
that the new line to Montezuma and
the improvements to be made in the
town will represent an expenditure
of some $40,000.00. I

but sentence was suspe ndcd Before
an opinion handed down by Attorney
General Fellows a few weeks ago the
men contested their arrest on the
grounds that Indians were allowed T.
fish in any manner they pleased and
anywhere. They based their claim on
a treaty made with the government
about 1875. Mr. Fellows ruled that
when an Indian becomes citizen ana
lives as other persons aud not on any
reservation. he has no such rights as
set forth i'm the treaty. Tho opinion
of the attorney general caused the
changed plea of the offenders.
