The council at its last meet- ing voted down the question of cngaging an expert, because It was represented to them that he would charge $25 per day for the four d work it would take to make the survey and the plats. Those who have been Investigating the subject assert that It is possible for good gas to be furnished a cost not to exceed 50 cents per 1,000 for heating and $1 per 1,000 for lightimg, while the public now has to pay $150 and $2. A corresponding reduction should be made in the cost of arc lights, and the result would be a tremendous reduc- tion in the amount of taxation. There {s one element of opposition to the plan of shutting out the Council Bluffs and lectric Light company which has not been n into account very much, but has ex- 1 a powerful Influence.

Al the citizens of Council Blulls who are financialiy interestad in the banks are conscquently opposing the idea of awarding the contract to any company ting the one now in existence. It is likely that the agitation will result in an appreciable reduction of the tolls now charge The following communication received at The Bee office yesterday bears upon the sub- Ject: THINKS. COUNCIL BLUFFS, July 19.—To the Editor of The Bre: March 12, 1894, the Council Bluffs Gas and Elcctric Light company ad- dressed the following communication to the city officia the Mayor of Council Bluffs, Under the contract for lighting the city, bearing date September 17, 1889, it is_provided as follows 1t is further agrced that the city of Council Biuffs shall have the sole option, on the expiration of five years, to extend this contract e term of five years more. It is also provided that the company shall de- mand of said city in writing, six months before the expiration of this contract, licther it intends to exercise the option of 7 this contract as herein or not.’ 1804, is six months before the expiration of said contract. The undersigned company hereby agrees to the five year ex- tension of said contract on the terms and conditions therein found and hercby requests the city to decide by proper order whether it intends to exercise the option of extending thls contract as therein agreed, and it it will do so. “Under the present contract for lighting the city, dated September 17, 1889, the price per lamp for 1890 was $100;'1831,’ $08 1, $92. I the cont 1806, ;\\ 1897, $86; 1\9! $84; 1899, $52, and’ the company is compelled to pur- e the iron towers owned by the city at $620 each,” BN What are you cl(y officials intending to do in this matter? The sum of §50 per year for a lamp that burns but little more than half the time looks like a good deal of money. It ought to be inve:tigated. The committee appointed by the city coun- cil, aided by that appointed by the Economic ciub, has had a good deal of correspondence, accumulated a good deal of data, but the only official that has read any of it is Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Hauss, an rical engineer of Cincinnati, O., writes Mr. Nicholson that the “average cost of pro- ducing a 2,000 candle power arc lamp in this country s $6 per lamp per month." That is the average co:t of a lamp burning all night—not half the night. The cost in- cludes all expenses, Inclusive of interest upon the Investment. ow, It is clear that If the average cost producing this light is but $72 per annum for a lamp burning all night and every night, $80 per year for a lamp burning but little more than half the night can only be Justified by showing this to be a_very ex- ptional town. Who says that? What are his reasons for saying it? Why are the city officials acting, apparently, on the theory thit this is a very exceptional place? If they have Informalion to that effect why not’ disclose it? SUBSCRIBER. Trains for Luke Manawa. Leave Broadway: 10 a. m. 2p. m. 5 p. m.

Another reminder of the late lamented A. P. Ross, the forged-check artist, came to light yesterday morning through the mail when a letter from the Yorkville (Ill) bank was received at the Council Bluffs Savings bank in this city, enclosing a bogus check for $200. It was made payable to A. P. Ross and bore the signature of F. M. Ross, be- sides the indorsements of a number of promi- nent citizens of Yorkville. Ross had no de- posit in the Savings bank, and the theory of Mr, Biersheim, the cashier, is that he was well known in Yorkville and secured the endorsements on the strength of old friend- ship.

Dr. Tracy, the temperance lecturer and revivalist, fired the first gun in his cam- paign against intemperance in this city at the large tent which has been ralsed at the corner of First avenue and Seventh street last evening. The attendance was not yery large, on account of (e threatoning con: dition of the weather, and the doctor did not givo one of his regular lectures, as he had intended to do, but merely confined his re- marks to an outline of what he intends to do during his ten days' seige in this city under the auspices of the Ministers' assoc tion The tent, a large affair, which has splendid acoustic properties, will comfortably seat nearly 1,600 peopie, and as Dr. Tracy is an excellent. talker and gdod instrument by which many attri e views used in illustratine his talks are thrown upon the canvas, there scems to be no reason why he sghou!d not meet with the same success here that characterized his meetings in other cities.

S.tuated as it is at the edge of the Black Hills, with the marvelously rich peaks aud hollows of that wonderful region stretching away 100 miles to the northward, and ten of thousands of acres of river benc lands rolling far to the west, and south, offering uncqualled indy for agriculture and grazing, Edgemont pos sesses natural advantages that cannot be exceeded, and it is upon these and their in- telligent development that her c.tizens have 80 firmly and happily pinned their faith. The initial move was made by the railroad company, as is almost invariably in the opening up of a new ¢ town ot Edgemont, signifying, implies, “the edge of the thus born. Its location made it of nece tion point, and because of iy tages and the future that , the B. & M. company lock and made it a cating lere its round house and all th plant and equipment necessary for the oper tion of its Black Hills division, JFrom Bdgemont the road was built to Newcastle, where the great Cambria coal mincs were at once opened up, affording con stant employment to 400 men and having an output of 1,600 tons per day, or nearly 500,- 000 tons annually. The rapid development of the Hilis count called for almost imme- diate further extension of the lines, from Edgemont a line was built to Deadwood, Edgemont's twin sister on the north ed of the Hills, cutting almost exactly in twain what President Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago & Northwesiern, cnaracterizes as “the richest 100 miles square of territory in the world.” Away to the northeastwar diving still deeper into the heart of the hills, another branch line was built to Hot Springs, that wonderful health and pleasure resort so aptly denominated “the Carlsbad of America,” the future of which even the most sanguine cannot adequately foretell, Such Is the location of Ecgemont v reference to the Black Hills, literally and in fact the gateway city turough which must come the untold millions of buried treasure now barely hidden from view, and n, with the recent ements in reduction processes, to be speedily uncovered and placed upon the markets of the world All but two of the known minerals arc found in paying quantities in the Black Hills, and the extension of the railroad has rendered localities now accessible and susceptible of working that were hitherto barred for that yery reason. Min ing expericnced a metback, as did all other industties . and branches of business, but it is now picking up rapidly, and there is mcre placer gold mining going on in the Hills today than, ever beforc. The gold output will closely approximate $6,000,- 000 this year. The natural outlet for all this wealth of mineral and precious metal is Bdgemont, and more especally In view of the certain contact therd'with the coal and coke from Newcastle; the latter being of a quality that s hot *exceeded anywhere in the world. It is burned In large quantities and renders the location of a large smelter at Edgemgnt as cerfain ‘o8 any of the un- khown_possibllities of the near future. The cost of hipment of either coal or ore to that point is very slight, as it is a down grade, and the coal trains from Newcastle are made up of fifty loaded cars, bearing 2,000 tons of the black fuel, while the same is true of the grade on the Deadwood line, im- mense ore trains to Edgemont being possi- bilities, while seven or eight loaded cars Is the lmit the other way. OTHER PROMISING FEATURES. But while certain to profit Immeasurably from the mineral wealth of the Hills, Edge- mont is not depending solely upon that for her future growth and prosperity. That Is merely an incident that wlhl contribute to her coming greatn:ss, for agriculture in the surrounding valleys promises as much for this little city as the mining in the adjacent hills, The sofl of the valleys and higher bench lands is of the kind to maKe glad the heart of the husbandman, water being the only essential for a heavy crop that is not natur- ally furnished in abundance, This year its lack is not apparent, for it lias been the wettest scason ever known In the Hills country and crops are all that could be desired. Corn, grass, small grain and vegetables are of a quality that would at- tract attention at a state fair. This simply shows what the soil will do under favorable conditions, and it may be stated here that favorable conditions for good crops will exist in the vicinlty of Edgemont hence- forth. Regardless of the rainfall, soil tillers in the Cheyenne valley will be strangers to drouth, for the Edgemont company has just about com- pleted a $60,000 irrigation and power canal, and is going into the crop insurance business on a large scale. The canal taps the Chey- enne river fourteen miles above the city, just below the mouth of Beaver Creek, swings over to the edge of the bench lands, and its mains and laterals will irrigate 10,000 acres of as pretty bottom land as the summer sun ever shone above, while below the city the tail race will furnish the water for 2,000 acres more. But the Edgemont company, made up of capitalists with not only the perspicacity to foresee the possibilities of the future and the brains to plan for them, but the moncy as well to put those plans into execution, did not stop with the building of an_irrigation canal. It was made for a size to furnish power, and factorles destined to lo- cate ' in this promising section of the great morthwest will find e 10,000 natural horse power developed for the use of man. But it was not the in- tention to write in this article of the canal and the seventy-two loom woolen mill now in course of erection, nor of the train load of machinery from Philadelphia now block- ing the lower rallroad yards and waiting to be placed In position in the mill as soon as completed. The same Is true of the sheep ralsers of this section, who are al- ready negotiating contracts with the manu- facturers for thelr season’s clipping; of drouth-suffering farmers who are secking new locations In the Irrigated Cheyenne valley; of the scorés of new buildings now In course of erection; of the grading of streets, and the many evidences of metro- politanism that this wonderful little city Is rapidly putting on; in fact, of what has been done to incréase Edgemont's popula tion from 300 to 1,100 In three months, and of what will make it a city of 5,000 people inside of three year As Mr. Kipling 'says, story Edgemont s undoubtedly to be congratu- lated tn having o wealthy and enterprising & corporation as the Edgemont compiny be- hind it, as it is thus put in a position to more speedily realize its hopes, but the confidence in its future s by nmo means confined to the members of that company The actual citizens of the town are largely from central and we:tern Nebraska and from other towns in the Hills. They are thoroughly informed as to surrounding con- ditions and the possibilities of the future, and they are banking on that confidenca to the extent of putting every dollar they can got hold of into real estate. Even the men working their teams on the cansl construc- tion work put part of thelr earnings into land, satisfied that with assured crop, fac tories with cheap power and increased population that each would bring, there could be but one outlook for Edgemont realty They have dome what Hon.

L., on the 25th, and stopping only long enough to take a fresh supply of coal she should be off Bluefields on the following Friday or Saturday. She cannot go into the bay there, as she draws too much wate and she probably will be obliged to lie about twelve miles away in the open sea. Secre tary Herbert says she will not relieve the Marblehead, but that both vessels will re main at the station, &0 that one can always be on guard while the other runs down to Port Limon to coal.
