WEISER NEWS
 
Franchise Granted for an Electric Light and Power Plant
 
Weiser, March 18 -- The meeting of the city council last evening was a very 
important one to the interests of the town, inasmuch as a franchise was 
granted to George Nixon and other Spokane parties for the installing of an 
electric light and power plant.  The franchise is a very satisfactory one, in 
which the interests of the city and the public are fully protected, the 
superior authority vesting in the municipality at all times.  The franchise is 
not exclusive.  Work is to be commenced within 30 days.
 
The improvements of Weiser's streets, which was suspended on the approach of 
the past winter, will be resumed tomorrow by order of the board.  Some further 
work will also be done on the partially installed sewer system.  The field is 
now practically cleared for concentration of energies on the remaining public 
enterprise to be inaugurated -- a system of city waterworks.
 
The town of Cambridge, at the end of the P. & I. N. is still forging  ahead 
and scarcely a day passes without seeing some new building commenced.
 
W. H. Cole and Marion Page, who own the "Regulator" claim in the Health 
district, are in Weiser arranging to ship two tons of test ore to Salt Lake.  
Although they are down only 10 feet the vein is found to be 8 feet wide and 
numerous assays give a value of $30 per ton in gold and 23 per cent in 
copper.  The sample shipment will no doubt demonstrate they have a young 
bonanza.
