Jones, is attempting to build a gas plant in Provo City, and for been soliciting among the peoweeks two has Mr,. Jones nearly past to subscribers for of stock, which would give one share ple jjet40Q the Provo people lesr ,asrits cost wftl be approximately $250,000.00 and the 400 subscriptions would represent only $40,000.00. . The gas plant is something Provo should have and the people of Provo should by all means be interested in it. We are at the present time paying the highest. jates for light, power and fuel and will.conso- until such time as we can get tinue competition entering into the field, and cheaper light and fuel furbished. Wherever gas com panies have organized and plants have been installed the people have received the benefit. Every plant in the western country is also making money for the stockholders, and with the city growing as it is, we have little doubt but that any naan purchasing a share of stock could sell it at a handsome profit as soon as the plant is built and in operation. -- There are many. advantages in this cjty that might be counted on for gas as we have the coal within a short distance, pros pects fdr .oil which, would again give cheaper fuel and seven towns close.by where gas users might be signed .up at any time. more,, the gas plaut would add a quarter of a million to the valuation of our city and place the town just that much farther along the road ' ' to prosperity. ' Provohas.never had a better opportunity to build up her resources thAn right now And nothing will do more toward furnishing a means of town development than the installation of a gas plant. For a long time We have beeU clamoring for a plant and now we have it within our &rasp,: we certainly cannot afford to allow Jhis. chance to slip by. Nor can we afford this factory to be 'huilt without the Provo people having aa interest, in it. If we ate j?oing to'bqd town, we must show to those who desire to invest their, money here that we have faith iu our town and no better way of showing this do we have than by purchasing stock in the legitimate enterprises which L Are being built withimour city. The proposition made by the Utilities Construction Company is unquestionably a good one, and the sooner we join hands in pushing theroject through to completion the better it will be for the city and for every person interested in building up Provo: -- ' - EXTENDING THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE. President Tafts recommendation concerning extensions of the classified service in the ease of local federal officers are distinctly in line with both efficiency and economy in service There is no reason whydl,the postmasters and. subordinate local officials in the postal service, all collectors of the revenue, all officers in local land offices, and all federal marshals and, their deputies should not be, placed in the classified branches of the service. Many of them, now are appointed in return for political work done by them, but there is no reason why this practice should be continued. The service rendered iu the offices in question is not political in its nature, and efficiency calls for no choice of appointees according to their r political views, all these officials in the classified service would remove To place them entirely as officials from the field of partisan activity, and undoubtedly That would be In The"tnierest of both efficiency and econv omy. Already much improvement in these particulars has been made by extending the classified sendee to somejocaljfederal officials and by rstraining the partisan activity of others. One has to look back only a few years, to the time when in nearly every large community locaL federal officials werejeaders of the party in power, to recognize that a notable advance toward better things has been made. To add all the remaining local officials to the classified lists, Of at least to make their appointments permanent, would be to extend this im1 provement and to eliminate federal appointments of that 'kind as ' j faetors in partisan politics. to-d- It is a fact not generally known, says an exchange, that if one imbees be with can handled hornets and holds his breath, wasps, punity.

WSMOMK The Following Statement Should Form Conclusive Proof of Merit . " to Every Provo Reader. Could stronger proof of the merit of any remedy be desired than the statements of grateful endorsers who say their confidence has been undiminished by lapse of timet These are the "kind of statements that are appearing constantly in your local papers for Doans Kidney Pills. They are twice-tol- d and confirmed with new enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the following! Its from a resident of this locality. Mrs. J. P." Humphrey, Third ward, Springvilte, Utah, says; I Doans publicly ..recommended Kidney Pills in 1907 and at this time I gladly reiterate all I then said in their praise. There were pains in my back and kidneys and other symptoms' of kidney com-plaint annoyed me. Dizzy spells were common and I often thought I would fall. I read in the papers parties having used Doatis Kidney Pills with, benefit and I was led to get this remedy at the Springville Drug Co. Its use as directed benefited me in every way, and I, was thus convinced of its merits. Remember the name Doan Vr aud take no otlier. t For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
