WHITE WAY
 BLAZfS FORTH
NewpOrt's Business Section Now One Of Most Brilliantly
 Lighted In State.

Newport is now resplendent in her beautiful white way" which was enjoyed for the first time Friday evening. Front street for seven blocks from Beech to Pine streets and the two business blocks on Hazel and Walnut streets were ablaze with lights and when the fire alarm was given immediately after the current had been cut in, many forgetting that this night was to inaugurate the new service, must have thought there was a big conflagration.
 There are four concrete stands to the block and from the cross arms of each hang cluster of four lights with another 32 can- dle power light in the center a. bove. The beautiful effect is best from the center of the street and gives Newport's busi- ness section an appearance and class at night which is certain to rebound to it's growth and rec ognition as one of the live and coming cities of the state.
 The new service was secured at cost of only $115 per month, the business men guaranteeing and paying the bill. The matter was first laid before the mayor and council, where it met with prompt and willing encourage ment and Mayor Hubby secured the pledges from the business men, which made the improve ment possible.

The Ger mans are being opposed by Rus sian troops, but continue their advance.
 It is expected that Helsing lords will be taken. There is a direct railroad from Helsingfors to St. Petersburg along which it is expected the Germans will advance.
 Finland is supposed to cherish it's old animosity toward it's Russian conquerors, ana the German forces will no doubt seek to arouse them to revolt.
