WATER AND LIGHT
PLANT CHANGES
New Owners Preparing to In
4 large Service to Meet All
Demands of Baxter
GSgss, Consumers

A general improvement in the
water and light plant is under
way and as soon as a new fran
chise can be secured by the com
pany, from the city, the work
will be started which will end in
giving satisfactory service to the
consumers.
A big motor and a larger gen.
orator will be installed in the
local plant in two weeks and
already the Empire people have
started the setting Of poles from
Riverton to Baxter Springs.
New polls will also be set up all
over the town and they will be
located in the alleys. Other
necessary improvements will be
made to take care of the needs OF
this growing city.
When the water company Sc
cures the new franchise, which
it expects to, all the gas engines
will be taken out Of the plant
and they will be replaced with
electric motors. This will elimi-
nate all the noise.
The present facilities, both for
the water and the electric works,
are being used to their fullest
capacity and even then the
service to the consumers is very
far short of satisfactory. 1t is
explained that the engines can
not develop enough horse power
to supply the needs of the people.
The city has plenty of water and
can generate all the electricity it
needs provided the plant has the
facilities with which to perform
the service. Paul Spratt of
Kansas City, brother of Jack
Spratt, will be in charge of the
plant.

Baxter People Again Sign With
White & Myers Company
for 1918

The Chautauqua in 1917 did
not do quite rs well as In 1916.
This is accounted for in the lack
Of systematic work in selling
season tickets just preceding the
coming of the attraction; also by
the extremely warm weather.
Last year the gIarantors had q
small surplus, this year q small
deficit.
More than rs signed the con-
tract as guarantors for another
year. They pledged the sale of
325 season tickets at $500 each.
Sunday night the final call re-
suited in securing orders for so
tickets, making a total Of 240
signed for.
The numbers presented this
year perhaps averaged up to the
chautauqua standard, some were
very good and some were
mediocre. Altogether it afforded
a lot of good wholesome enter
tainment in the II performances
for $500, and without doubt
the appearance of this attraction
here from year adds materially
to the life and mental well being
of the community.

SEWER PLANS UP
FOR APPROVAL
Council to Advertise for Bids
as Soon as Authority Is
Received From State
Board

Plans and specifications for
sewers for the city Baxter Springs
have been submitted to the state
board of health for its approval.
As soon as this approval has
been received the city dads will,
it is believed, advertise for bids
to construct this long looked-for
improvement.
The information, which we
have, is not official, but its nature
is such that we are able to make
the above statement.
1t is believed that a Mr.. Moore
of Joplin was the man whose
plans and specifications were
sent to Topeka for the approval
of the state board Of health. A
few weeks ago MIR. Moore ap-
peared before the city council
and asked for the privilege of
presenting plans and specificat-
ions whereby, he believed, he
could show a good saving over
the one presented by another
firm some time ago.
If the contract is awarded it
will mean sewers for the whole
city. Trunk lines will be laid
through specified streets and
laterals run to them. The work
will probably begin in the alleys
adjoining the Military street.
This will improve the sanitary
condition of the business district
as soon as it is completed.
While plans for the coming
near future appear to be under
way, Mayor E. L. Wright claims
that all effort is being made to
take care of the present sanitary
conditions, as prescribed by the
Ordinance No. 156. In a report
to the city council Tuesday
evening Mr.. Wright declared
that So notifications had been
served for taking care Of cutters
and rubbish. All but two had
complied with the demands OF
the notices and the other two
had promised to take care Of
their premises as soon as they
could.
The Luckey Jack show COM
pany offered to bring to this city
an animal show and a forty
miner. The council consented to
grant a license to the former and
refused to allow the coming OF
the latter.

The Barr Mine Opens

The Barr mines west of the
Blue Mounds, which is owned by
the Vinegar Hill Zinc company, is
putting up a 400 ton capacity
mill. Three shafts have been
sunk to ore. Two of them are six
by ten and one is six by seven.
Drill holes have shown a contin-
uous ore body from $50 to 210
in the upper strata and In the
lower formation from 260 to 500.
The ore which have been found
are lead and zinc and they have
assayed average 10 per cent.

Ore In Lower Strata

The strikes which we have been
reporting in the south part of the
city have been proving good all
along. Last week another strike
was made on the R. F. Hartley
place at a depth Of Is foot. The
drill continued in the ore until it
reached 1876 feet. In spite of the
fact that the drillers had gotten
a 20 foot face ore they kept on
drilling and when they had reach
ed $50 foot they made another
strike which showed richer ore
than the one made on the higher
formation. At 1853 feet the drill
was still in the ore body.

Red Cross Campaign

The fact that we have bee
slow in organizing q branch
chapter of the American Red
Cross is going to be Offset by
another fact that we of Baxter
Springs are going to contribute
generously toward the support OF
this society and hope to make
every man, woman and child of
this city a member of it before
we are through with our cam
paign.
This seems to be the opinion
of those who have weighed the
sentiment of the city toward the
Red Cross society. The member
ship campaign is being launched
today and it is being carried on
by three groups.
Ward l, is in charge of Miss
Mollie Sweeney. Misses Grace
Perkins, Zela Wright and Scottie
Nichols and Frank Brewster are
to assist Miss Sweeney.
Ward 2 is in charge of Mrs. L..
L. Cardin. She is being assisted
by Mesdames' c. c. Sparlin, E.
c. McWilliams and Misses Sara
Kelsey, Hazel Goodwin and
Norma Baldwin.
Mrs. Merton Goodeagle will
have charge of Ward 8. She is
being assisted by Mesdames
James Simmons, Josephine John
son and J. w. Kaltenbach.
The country is in charge OF
Miss Gretchen Bilharz and she
will have for her helpers, l.. G..
Hooker and Geo. Kelsey.
Mrs. J. H. Boswell, who is in
charge of the whole campaign,
asks that the work of the solici-
tiers be made as easy as possible.
This could be done by giving to
them your membership and your
money as soon as they present;
themselves before you. You will
be given your receipt promptly.
Mrs. R. B. Bates, president OF
the local Red Cross chapter,
went to Columbus Tuesday to
secure blanks and instructions
from the county chapter, prepar-
atory to opening a compaign for
members and subscriptions in
Baxter. Mrs. Bates stated on
her return, that she found the
plans of the Columbus workers
entirely too limited to meet the
requirements of the work that
is proposed for the Baxter Springs
field. For instance, the county
organization has ordered only
1000 or 1000 buttons, whereas
5000 or 1000 are needed for
Baxter alone. Each person who
Joins the Red Cross gets a but
ton to wear and Mrs. Bates pro-
poses that at least 5000 in the
Baxter community will enroll
within the present month.

Uncle Sam has been on the
debit side of the ledger Of France
ever since Lafayette landed his
small army on American soil 140
years ago and saved the day for
the small exhausted colonies
struggling for independence.
Now we have begun to pay the
debt. 1t was the proudest hour
in American history when Persh-
ing's little vanguard Of troops
set foot on French soil; but cur
debt to France is of long stand
ing, the accrued interest is many
times the original principal. We
may send a million men to the
aid of the allies and then We
shall not have paid in full.

Badly Burned

On the morning of July a Mrs.
Nal Wagner of this city had both
of her hands seriously burned in
trying hard to save her four-year-
old daughter, Ruth, from the
flames which were rapidly con-
suming the child's dress. Ruth
was burned all over except a lit
tie place on her back, but her in
Jury is not thought to be very
serious.
The fire is thought to have
caught from the matches with
which the child was playing and
as there was no one near her she
was unable to stop it from burn
ing until she screamed a n d
brought her mother to her as
sistance. Mrs. Wagner at once
rolled the child over the ground
and did all she could to stop the
fire quickly. In her attempt she
forgot all about herself and the
injury she was receiving while
trying to save her little one.
Both patients are getting along
nicely. The representative OF
the News found the mother with
both hands bandaged and the
girl resting in her bed. The
whole neighborhood is concern ed
about them, even though they
have been in Baxter Springs only
six weeks, they have made many
friends. Little Ruth is known as
the little sweet, patient girl.
