THE POWER PROPOSITION

Some people have worked them
selves up to feverish pitch over an
item concerning a hearing requested
of the City Council by the River Falls
Power Co., the organization which
owns the defunct plant in Clifton
Hollow.
1t has been reported that an at
tempt is being made to foist this pro-
perty off onto the city.
Without investigation some folks
have exercised their Imagination
and started rumors which are really
too silly to demand attention, except
as they may bring discredit to the
honorable intentions OF our Council
men.
The River Falls Power Co. did ask
if the city was interested in propo-
sition for more electric power, and re
cuested an opportunity to put the
matter before the City Council. This
request was granted and an appoint
ment made for last Monday evening,
at the regular meeting
Meanwhile the proposition, which
referred to the "give and take" con-
tract which the Clifton company has
with the Wisconsin Minnesota Co.,
was studied out by the city officials
and the Clifton protnotors were in
formed that this city would not consl-
der taking over that contract.
II the city wished to make any ar
rangements for auxiliary power from
the Observation-Disclosures lines 1t
would be done on a direct or meter
basis, the city paying only for service
used, and not on any term CONTRACT
which might necessitate paying for
much more power than used.
The patronage of the city system
does at times tax its capacity to the
limit, but it is believed that provision
can be made to uphold the service
without any outside help.

FROM A FORMER
JOURNAL CONTRIBUTORS

The Journal is always pleased to
hear from former River Falls people,
and we were delighted recently to
receive letter from Frank L. Per-
rim, who now resides at 65 Audubon
Road, Boston Mass.
For the past six years Mr.. Perrin,
who is a brother of Judge Scion l..
Perrin of Superior, has been an edi-
torial writer on the Christian Science
Monitor.
In his letter, Mr.. Perrin says:
"As your little city is my former
home, / am greatly interested. Oc-
,casionally, in the absence of Randall
Morse, l tried my hand at writing for
The Journal My first offense, how
ever, was on the Pierce County Her.
aid, when Gene Case and Gene
Doolittle were its joint editors. They
used my stuff for filler when Doc
tor Woodwork was too busy to write
poetry for them.

since 1907, and then only for a day.

You just simply can't down Wiscon-
sin, even when the advance force has
to go over into Minnesota in order to
turn the trick. Last Saturday rural
carriers Lyle Brown, John Klecker,
Bart Fitzpatrick and Frank Parrish
motored to Lake City to attend con-
vention of Minnesota carriers. Be-
sides enjoying themselves, the local
men took part in drawing and won
two of the four auto tires given away.
Messers. Brown and Fitzpatrick were
the lucky fellows.-Pierce County

PRAISE FOR GLEN PARK

According to tourists who pass
through here River Falls people de
not half appreciate the splendid ad
vantages of Gler Park, or if they de
appreciate it they are altogether too
reticent about it.
Many expressions OF praise and ap-
probation If Glen Park have come to
the notice of The Journal, and an es-
pecially fine note has just been re-
ceived by Mrs. w. S. Armstrong from
her niece, Mrs. O. C. O'Hearn, who
with three-car touring party from
Melrose and Black River Falls, camp
ed in Glen Park couple of weeks
ago.
Mrs. O'Hearn states that on two
recent tours, of ten and seven days,
respectively, her party nowhere found
such an ideal tourist camp as the one
here. She praised the beauty of the
spot, the fine Accommodations, and
stated that they all thought it Won
derful that town Of this size should
provide such excellent Accommodations
for the auto tourist. She said that
they enjoyed every minute of their
stay in River Falls.
When the Prescott bridge is conn
pleted this city will be on highway
as popular for motorists as many of
the other main trails are today, and
it is up to the people of this city to
see that all the tourists who patron
ize our Park leave with as pleasant
recollections as those expressed by
Mrs. O'Hearn and the others.

The clipping was taken from the
Pasadena Star-News of August II,
1922.
Especially delightful in its renew
al of old friendships and home ties,
was the afternoon gathering at Echo
Place, the beautiful Altadena home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Williams, when
thirty-four friends, most of them for
mer residents of River Falls Wis,
were entertained by Mrs. Williams
and Mrs. w. d. Parker, formerly of
River Falls.
The affair was SLOWER luncheon"
the invitations, tables, and decora
tons, featuring the good luck SYM
bol," the four-leafed clover.
A musical program was enjoyed, an
appealing number being the singing
of "Where the Four-Leaf Clover
Crows" by Mrs. Parker.
A delicious buffet luncheon was
served by the hostesses, and beau
tiful toast, an original poem written
by an absent friend who was unable
to attend the affair, was read, which
emphasized the beauty of memories
and the renewing of old friendships.

la Toilette is our man; beat him
if you can," was the legend on large
banners which decorated a touring
car leading big delegation from this
community to Hudson last Thursday
evening, where the Senator spoke to
q capacity house in the armory. La
Toilette acknowledged the presence
of the River Falls delegation with a
bitter reference to the State Senator
from this precinct. A feature of the
program was the heckling of Hud-
sons mayor, who attempted to intro
duce La Toilette to the audience.

GAS FROM WASTE

The JOURNAL scribe, in company
with Emil Carisch, Mayor Vannata
DR.. Fortune, DR.. Gallup and Q. N
Wiger, witnessed a demonstration OF
the E-Z Fuel Supply Corporations
new invention at Minneapolis last
Friday.
and many years ago a clerk in the
Gladstone Hotel here under the. late
Jay Loucks, is a member of the firm
and had charge of the demonstration
The new invention is plant which
will convert farm waste material
such as straw, corn stalks or cobs,
weeds, hay, sunfower stalks, peat,
sugar cane bagasse, wood, sawdust,
etc., into several valuble products,
such as carbon, cresote tar and oil
and disenfectant creosote water.
The gas made from this plant can
be used for heating, cooking and
lighting and will run any internal
combustion engine, and is free from
carbon. 1t is oderless, non-poisonous
and if it escapes into room will not
explode when exposed to fire.
The by-products from this plant
have ready market.
The corporation is specializing in
plants for farm use, and we believe
that they are well worth the consider
alton of the farmers. The Minneapo-
lis address of this company is at Pip
Lyndale Avenue South, where demon
strations will be made at any time of
day.
To illustrate the wide range of ma
terial from which this plant will man.
ufacture gas Mr.. Newell, upon the re-
quest of Mr.. Carisch, threw in some
old tires and casing, with very salts
factory results.
