The Other Side- Editor Box Elder News, Dear Sir: Having been a subscriber of your paper from the beginning aud having noted the spiritof fairness with which you handle all subjects brought to your notice, I ask you to kindly allow me 6pace in your valuable paper to make known to the many readers our side of tbe case. The truth must, of necessity, change the tide of thought. It is an easy matter, through misrepresentation and agitation to influence the people to act hastily and many times unwisely. I think I am safe in saying that had the truth been presented to the people in circulating those petitions and at tbe mass meeting held on the 12th lust, the senti ment would have been different. There are, perhaps, We make a Specialty but very few people who know they would be compelled to condemn our present system as they codsidered the people were entitled to something better. One year ago last February they gave a stranger by the name of Sweet, (a circumstance the readers will remember) a franchise for 25 years for the mere asking for it. Shortly after Mr. Sweet secured this franchise he came to us offering to sell it for 9500, showing that he obtained the franchise for no other purpose than speculation, proving to be a promoter, which, no doubt, was Bomewhat to the city council. However, his actions was the means of opening the eyes of some of the stockholders of the B. C. E. Co. to an extent of at least investigating as to the feasibility of putting in an plant. After careful investigation on the part of some of the stockholders, it was decided that the project was a feasible one and that it might also prove remunerative as an investment. The next step taken was to consult an attorney as to what steps were necessary in order to acquire a right to the use of the waters of Box Elder creek for power purposes. We then found it necessary to employ a hydraulic and electric engineer to make a preliminary survey to obtain data that he might furnish an estimate of the approximate cost and direct ns aright in the selecting of pipe lines and selecting of dam sights. After obtaining the necessary information on this subject we set to work to survey a level line through the canyon to ascertain what head could be obtained and to measure the water at several points through the canyon to ascertain the flow per second so that we could ligure on the size pipe it would require to carry all the water during tbe ting season. On r next obstacle was to find a suitable dam sight, our engineer informing us that it was absolutely necessary that we get bed rock for our dam. After working in several places we discovered a good dam sight and set to work laying bare the bed rock. After satisfying ourselves that we had found the right place for a permanent dam we purchased a quarter section of land through which the pipe line will extend and had our sur- After remaining here a few days, Mr. Eddy expects to visit his parents in Victor, Colorado.
