Darcy Editor Approves
Latest Light Plant Plan

Darcy Commercial: An offer tha
is worthy of more than mere passing
notice was brought to our attendtio1
this week. 1t is the matter of secur
ing electricity from the Valley City
plant by the todns in this section Of
the county. The proposition is simp
lily this: The Valley City plant agrees
Ito furnish Juice" at rate of five
cents per kilowatt to the various
towns in this section of the county il
the towns will build the pole lines
and donate them to the Valley City
plant. This certainly looks like a
good proposition on both sides. The
Valley City plant has an abundance
of Juice" to spare and they need
more patronage. On the other hand
the towns need the electricity to make
them really uptodate. In fact some
of the towns which would be able to
get the service in the event of this
ready considered the construction OF
either municipal or private.owned
plants. We think it would be wise
proposition for all of the towns OF
this section to get together and 60
over the matter thoroughly before
they go ahead with either municipal
or private-owned plant for their
own town. The cost of the pole line
construction from Valley City would
be just about the same as the cost OF
an individual plant for each of the
towns that would be served. But the
advantages of the Valley City service
are so far ahead of what small plant
could give that there is where the real
value of the plan comes in. In the
first place small plant would have
to charge rate of at least 20 cents
per kilowatt for the service which
would only be for few hours each
evening and possibly couple of hours
in the morning. On the other hand
the small plant is very susceptible to
break-downs and often the patrons
find themselves without lights just
when they need. the lights most. This
is due largely to the fact that only
one dynamo and one engine is used in
a small plant, consequently if small
repair part for either the engine or
dynamo is needed, the plant is entire.
ly out of commission for the time.
With the Valley City service there
would be 24-hour service right from
the start, and no electric light service
can be called real service unless there
is service for the full "a hours each
day. The next important item to con-
slider is the cost. With the Valley
City service the rate is five cents per
kilowatt. Suppose the patrons paid
a rate of ten cents, the additional five
cents to be used in paying Off the in.
terest and the bonds which would
have to be issued in order to build
the pole line, the rate to patrons would
be just about half what electricity
would cost II it were supplied from a
small plant. After the bonds were
paid of the rate would then be re-
duced until it would cost the patrons
only one.fourth of the small plant rate
and 24-hour service all Of the time.
We think the towns of Sanborn, Rog-
ers and Darcy had better get together
and construct this line.

Washington, Feb. 90 President

day, is the only obstacle now to the
passage of the federal suffrage amend

by Miss Vida Milholland, whose sister,
Inez, led the suffragists In the suf-

Miss Mertice Aldahl wrote the fol-
lowing parody on Tipperary:
We're gathered here together
In this land Of sun and flowers,
We're all from North Dakota,
From that good old state of ours;
It's fine old place to live in
When summers in the air
But we're off for California
When bleak winter strikes us there.
It's long way to North Dakota,
It's long way to go,
It's long way to North Dakota,
To the land of frost and snow;
Farewell, California
Goodbye, Long Beach so fair;
It's long, long way to North Dakota,
But my hearts right there.
Hurrah for North Dakota,
The best state in the land,
To her we will be faithful,
This true and loyal band,
Altho' we never will forget
The days we have spent here,
We always will be loyal
To our North Dakota dear.
(Chorus)
The quartet sang this at the picnic
and We heard many good things about
the state. The N. D. state song was
very well received.

 MT. Ross is a native of Tennessee and he is planning to allow his home people to participate in the invest ment which he has made. He con- siders the Big Copper Chief the best property he has ever handled dur ing his long and successful career in mining investments.
 The Big Copper Chief is located in the heart of the Bumblebee min ing district and just at present the nearest shipping point is Turkey on the Prescott and Eastern railway but the proposed Prescott & Phoenix Prescott and Eastern at Turkey sta tion, runs within a very short dis tance of the mining property and will give 1t an easy outlet by rail when the snort line is completed.
 This district and the Turkey dis trict are and long have been recog- nized as being in the center of one of the richest mineral belts in Ari- Zona. The railway will tap this re- markedly rich region, and the pros pect of its coming has aroused wide spread interests in the properties af- fected such as the Big Copper Chief.
