THE NEW GAS PLANT The new gas plant is now completed, and
everything running nicely. It was turned over to Messrs. Pearson and
Hepler today, and they seem to be well pleased with the new light, and
well they should, for it produces a clear, bright and powerful light,
cheaper than kerosene, not even considering the vast difference in the
lights. The rooms that will be lighted by this new process are as follows:
Pearson’s store room, including opera house, and L. W. Huffaker’s office
rooms, John Pullman’s implement room, M. O. Hanks & Co. drug store,
Hepler’s store room, Bada’s meat market building, the bank building,
including Moore and McCue’s office, and the Lodge room, Sederburg’s
furniture store and the post office. This covers the entire east side of
the square, and all are more than pleased. From here the company sends
their men to Hastings to work up a similar plant. If successful, our
neighboring town of Hastings cannot but be pleased. |
