Militown’s Muddle.
The burning of the Milllown
Lumber Company's plant has
knocked out the little City's
water and lighl arrangements, and

a regular “Hawk and Buzzard”
time adjusting; their respective
rights. I'lie city had contracted
with the lumber company to fur
nisli the power to operate its water
ami light plant. Ihe lumber com
pany 1 does not want to rebuild it's
plant, leaving the city without
power for it's plant. The Lumber
Com]winy wants to dissolve the
contract.-, while the city desires
speeilie performance. The local
newspaper, The Advocate, suggests,
by way of compromise, that the
Company and the City join forces
in forming a syndicate to rebuild
the plant; it says for (he plant not
to be rebuilt would be detrimental
to the city's every interest and in
at it ut ion. The Tribune sees w here
the Advocate is right, and hopes
the muddle an ill be properly set
tied.
