Brief Delineation of the Im provements now Being made in Our Already Magnificent Water and Electric Service The Day and Night Continuous Incandescent Current A Few of Its Applications Steam Boilers, Engines, Water Wheels, to be Replaced by Electricity Manager Beebe Interviewed.

For some time past visitors to the water works from at home and abroad have noted with interest the excavation of the south half of the pump room, and the building of a deeply laid aud massive foundation whereon is to be placed the new Gaskill's compound pumping engine, manufactured at Lockport, N. by the Holly manufacturing company. This engine will be one of the largest, finest and most expensive west of the Mississippi river. In view of the fact that the machinery is expeciea to arrive aionaay next, a Call reporter sought an interview with the obliging manager, Mr. L.

A. Beebe, to learn something of interest regarding it, also of the continuous electric service soon to be put into oper ation. It was something as follows nat win oe tne cost or the new "Sii.uuu, or nearly as mucn as a business building on Main street would cost," said Mr. Beebe "What will be its capacity compared with the old pumps?" "Two years ago when the plant was finished the smallest of the three old pumps, with a capacity of about 50,000 gallons per day would do the work easily. The demand has so increased that we are now compelled to run con tinuously both the large engines and with them have for the past twro months supplied from one to one and three-fourths millions gallons per day, the variations being effected by the weather, hot, dry, dusty days requiring nearly twice as much water as cool and rainy ones.

As the season advances and the uses for water multiply themselves, we should soon find the system drawn upon for all it could furnish, thus cutting off the reserve necessary in case of fires. The new pumping engine will furnish fiye million gallons as easily as we now supply one million." "Since the capacity of the wrorks might have been doubled by the use ot engines costing less than half that of the Gaskills' compound, why does the company buy the hitter?" "It is the company's aim to use no machinery in any department othat is not of the finest type built, regardless of the expense. Besides this our business has now reached proportions that fully warrants such machinery on the score of economy. Economy in fuel is especially considered in the purchase of the new engine. The terms 'double compound condensing' means that three distinct forces is using the steam that in cheaper engines is used developed in ordinary and for only on5.

The first is in an ordinary high pressure engine from which the steam passes into a larger cylinder and operates the second engine at a lower pressure, and finally into the third, where it is condensed and the atmospheric pressure brought into use to contribute its share of force, by no means small. Such engines were first made use of only on government vessels and it is of only within the past few years they have been applied to stationery purposes. When will the new day service of the incandescent system go into operation and what are its purposes?" "It will be running inside of the next two weeks, and its purpose is to furnish a convenient, and easily managed power for all kinds of machinery from a sewing machine to a large flouring mill." "Will the continuous service be of advantage to the patrons of the electric light department?" "Only that on dark cloudy days they may have the use of their lamps, if so desired." "Will the new enterprise be patronized?" "We have already without soliciting it, over eighty norse power demanded, principally for driving light machinery, such as turning lathes, printing presses, small wood working machinery, feed mills, hotel elevators and small grain elevators. As soon as the operators of heavier machinery learn that we can furnish them a power that is always reliable, that will reduce the insurance rate on machinery and that needs almost no attention in its management, they will throw aside their expensive and dangerous boilers and engines, and curtail their! running expenses bv patronizing us. 1 see no reason why we should not Ithin a few months be furnishing three or four hundred horse power to the manufacturing establishments in the city." "Do you anticipate competion in any of your lines of business at any future time, Mr.

Beebe?" "Smaller and less important cities than Hutchinson have been known to support more than one institution of the Kind, but competition comes only when it is invited, and where exorbitant prices or bad management gives it footing. Until we fail in our purpose to always keep the capacity of the plant a little in advance of the greatest possible demand, thservice as good, as the best, latest improved machinery under skilled management, can make it and give our patrons the benefit of the lowest possible rates, we shall have no fear that the enormous investment of capital will ever be made in that di rection that would be required to offer If you wish buttons to exactly match your dress, bring pieces of the material to Wall Wall's, ana navetnem made.
