The Washington Republican Washington County Friday February 1, 1901 The New Lighting Plant. The genius of man will soon bring the elements of nature into use, so that darkness can be obliterated and light will be produced which will almost eclipse the sun. At present gasoline is revolutionizing the light question, and is going to give electricity a close chase. The day is not far distant though when liquid air will do away with gas, gasoline and electricity for lighting purposes and power. But what we started to say was, Hilton & Lobaugh, proprietors of the Hub Grocery Store had recently put in a new gasoline lighting plant, one of the latest out. The inventor of the plant is a Clifton boy, a school mate of the editor of this paper. He first put out Griffin Gas Lamp, using aseytoline, but soon discarded it and is now using gasoline. The factory is in Kansas City, Kansas. His light is now produced by the use of gasoline and oxygen, about 5 per cent gasoline and 95 per cent oxygen. The light is the best in town so far and is equal to electricity.
