PAGE SIX SIX COMPETITION i UTILITIES WILL BE WYO. POLICY Must Show Uneneiactory Service, However, Before Permit Will Be Granted by the State Commission. CHEY » Wyo., April 12.— (Special.)—Competition in public utilities is to be allowed in every town in Wyoming, providing it is shown that the present company is not giving satisfactory service, and that the newcomer can and will give better service at lower rates. That’s the meat of a compreh sive policy outlined by the nev public service comm of C. L. Draper, Captain C. M. June and Maurice Groshon, regarding all decisions to be made on such matters in the future. Announcement of the policy was made today when the com- mission made public its finding in the Wyoming Power company case, wherein Allan Boysen, president of the concern, sought permission to ex- tend its power lines to the city of Thermopolis. ed on the grounds that Mr. Boysen had failed to show that he could fur- nish either better service, or the same service at lower rates, than are now being furnished Thermopolis by the Hot Springs Light & Power company. | Mr. Boysen and his attorney, Avery Haggard of Cheyenne, appear- ed before the commission March 10. They showed that the Wyoming Pow- er company is operating the largest hydraulic plant in the state, famil- iarly known as the “Boysen dam” project, and that the waters of the Big Horn river are now being util- ized in making electricity for the town of Shoshoni and for the Chica- go, Burlington & Quincv. The pres- ent capacity of the plant is 660 horse Power, but it could easily be enlarg- ed to 1,000. The company sought to carry the “juice” 17 miles to Ther- mopolis, and there compete with the steam-operated plant of the Hot Springs Light & Power company. But the commissioners were unable to Permission was refus- | SPOKANE WOMAN Electrical Treatment and Every- thing Else Failed To lelp Her — Tanlac Restores Her. “There, that is what I have been looking for the past six months now for my sister,” said Mrs. Vi Legault, who resides at 2213 Post street, Spokane, Wash., pointing to the big | Tanlac display in Murgittroyd’s drug store, recently. “My sister’s health has broken down,” Mrs. Legault continued, ‘‘and I firmly believe Tanlac will fix her up as it did me three years ago.” “Before I took it I was suffering from a complication of ailments which had resulted in nervous pros- tration. My troubles all started from -ad stomach and I was in a pitia- ble condition. Everything I ate would sour causing me such awful pains in the pit of my stomach that I could hardly stand it. My nerves were in a bad shape, I was badly con- stipated and even now I hate to think of the terrible headaches I had. I also suffered from weakness and nains in my right side, which was the worst kind of torture. Electrical treatment and everything ejse was tried on me, except an operation, which I refused to stand for, but nothing did me any good. I had al- ways weighed around one hundred and forty-eight pounds, but my suf- | |fering pulled me down to one hun- dred and twelve, and I was scarcely more than a frame. I really had no desire to live as my case seemed to be hopeless. “Well some wonderful things hap- pen in this world, and my recovery is one of them. “I picked up a paper one day in Detroit, Michigan, where I was living at the time, and read a Tanlac testimonial given by a lady | who lived but a short distance from ; me, and right then I decided to try Tanlac. The results I obtained are nothing less than remarkable. My appetite soon came back, my stomach |got so I could eat and digest my food and every one of my troubles gradutl- lv left, and the first thing I knew IT was regaining my lost weight and strength. After using five bottles of Tanlac I found thet Th gone up to one hundred and fifty-two pounds |—actually gaining forty pounds— ‘of gratitude I owe Tanne |others how it has made life worth GAINED 40 POUNDS: to tell living for me.” Tanlac is sold in Casper by the Cas- per Pharmacy and in Alcova by the | Alcova Mercantile Co.—Adv. a We do Kodak finishing and make lenlargements from your own films.

Upon the showing of H. J. Thompson, attorney for the Thermopolis con- cern, that it had recently brought its service up nearer to standard, it was ordered to do several mont! ago by the old commission, the board denied the petition of the other peo- | ple. The order of denial makes an elab- | orate survey of the questions of mo- ropoly and competition. It quotes the act requiring that before a pub- lic utility enter into competition with; another it must first show that per- | mission to do so would constit a public convenience and nece The order shows that other co | sions in other states are followin two separate lines in determininz whether or not the best interests of the public would be served in allow- ing competition. In the east the general policy is not to admit com- petitors, but rather to so regulate the old concerns as to bring them up to standard. In California and other states the policy is to allow the new ones to come in providing the old ones are not giving good ser- vice and providing the newcomers can give better service. The old utili- | ties are judged on their past record. Tf they are not furnishing adequate | service as a reasonable rate, others | will be allowed to enter the field. | This policy will be followed, in a ge eral way, by the Wyoming commis. | sion.
