Fated the newspaper campaign for munietpal ownership, ‘The city's move is In keeping’ with the drift of munietpal progress the world over, The experience of other cities justifies the confident bex Nef that the Cedar Falls plant will succeed as well ae like expertments have olewhere. ' Municipal Nghting plants, as @ matter of fact, are no longer to be regarded as experiments, The city of St, Loule has decided to install @ $1,000,000 clovtric lighting plant, to be ready in 1908, when the existing contracts for street lighting expire, Until that date a sinking fund will Feveive $149,000 annually from the city's revenues, ‘The success of the Cedar river Water system, which croakers at home and abroad dectared to be impracticable, goes to show that Seattle's city engineer knows his business and may be depended upon to make a aimitar success of the Mghting plant, ‘The Star believes im competition. For that reason it urges the city counel! to grant the Snoqualmie Falla Power Company any amendment to ite franchise that may be necetsary to enable it to compete with the Seattle Bleotria Company, But after al, the best and only certain Feltef for light and power consumers must come from municipal own- ership. ——_-_— WIFE WORTH ONLY $1999 A young Kentuckian, having suffered the alienation of his affianced through a blunder committed by a telegraph company, has sued the company for $1,009 damages, and lost. 4 Me telegraphed his Intended to meet him at a certain time and place a ' in Leouleville for the wedding ceremony, The dispatch as deilvered read Nashville, and to that city the loyal young woman went to meet dis- .3 appointment, mystification and finally indignation. 4 She returned home tm high dudgeon and refused to listen to any explanations, The unfortunate young man sought in vain to plead that the fault was not hia She refused to be reconciled. Whereupon the young man, in his despair, turned upon the telegraph company & demand for damages, He sought salve for his lacerated feelings—recompense for his shattered hopes, ‘The telegraph company was clearly te blame, and, what ts more to the point, it had the money.
