Nov. 03– Nov. 3–He mea maʻalahi ka lawe ʻana i ka uila me ka ʻole.Aia ka mālamalama ma nā wahi a pau.Loaʻa nā ʻano kumu kukui a pau i kēia lā - no laila ke kamaʻilio ʻia e pili ana i ka pollution māmā e uhi ana i nā hōkū.

ʻAʻole pēlā ka hihia i ka huli ʻana o ke kenekulia i hala.ʻO ka electrification o ke kūlanakauhale he mea nui i haʻaheo ka poʻe hoʻoikaika o Joplin i ka hoʻolaha ʻana.

Ua kākau ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Joel Livingston i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka puke hoʻolaha mua ma Joplin ma 1902, "Joplin, Missouri: The City that Jack Built."Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i ʻeono ʻaoʻao e wehewehe ana i ka mōʻaukala o Joplin a me nā ʻano ʻano he nui.Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i haʻi ʻia kahi huaʻōlelo e pili ana i ka electrification a i ʻole nā ​​kukui municipal.ʻO nā ʻoihana mining, nā alanui kaʻaahi, nā ʻoihana kūʻai nui a me nā ʻoihana kūʻai aku i kikoʻī ʻia me hoʻokahi wale nō ʻōlelo o kahi pilina kinoea maoli i hoʻolālā ʻia.

I loko o 10 mau makahiki, ua loli nui ka ʻāina.Ua loaʻa i ke kūlanakauhale ka paipu kinoea maoli i hoʻolālā ʻia.Ua lako ʻia nā hale e like me ka Hale Pekelala hou ma Third a me Joplin no nā kukui uila a me ke kinoea.He nui nā kukui alanui o ke kūlanakauhale i hoʻolako ʻia e ka Joplin Gas Co.

Aia ka hale kukui mua ma waena o nā alanui ʻEhā a me ʻElima a me nā alanui ʻo Joplin a me Wall.Ua kūkulu ʻia i ka makahiki 1887. Ua kūkulu ʻia nā kukui arc he ʻumikumamālua ma nā kihi alanui.Ua waiho ʻia ka mea mua ma ke kihi o nā alanui ʻEhā a me Nui.Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia, a ua loaʻa i ka hui kahi ʻaelike e kau i nā kukui ma ke kūlanakauhale.Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka mana mai kahi mea kanu hydroelectric liʻiliʻi ma Grand Falls ma Shoal Creek i hoʻokumu ʻia e John Sergeant lāua ʻo Eliot Moffet ma mua o ka makahiki 1890.

Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia ke kukui uila me nā ʻōlelo "he maikaʻi kēlā me kēia kukui uila e like me ka mākaʻi."ʻOiai ua hoʻopiʻi nui ʻia kēlā mau ʻōlelo, ua ʻike ka mea kākau ʻo Ernest Freeberg ma "The Age of Edison" "ʻoiai ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka mālamalama ikaika, (ʻo ia) ka hopena like i ka poʻe lawehala e like me ka hana ʻana i nā moho, ʻaʻole e hoʻopau iā lākou akā hoʻokomo wale iā lākou i loko. nā kihi ʻeleʻele o ke kūlanakauhale.Ua hoʻonohonoho mua ʻia nā kukui ma hoʻokahi kihi alanui wale nō no kēlā me kēia poloka.Ua pōʻeleʻele loa ka waena o nā poloka.ʻAʻole kūʻai nā wahine i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia i ka pō.

Loaʻa pinepine nā ʻoihana i nā puka aniani a i ʻole nā ​​​​kanopi.ʻO ka Ideal Theatre ma Sixth a me Main he lālani kukui honua ma kona puʻu, he mea maʻamau.Ua lilo ia i hōʻailona kūlana no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kukui ma nā puka makani, ma nā pale, ma nā kihi o ke kūkulu hale a ma luna o nā hale.ʻO ka hōʻailona ʻālohilohi "Newman's" ma luna o ka hale kūʻai i ʻālohilohi i kēlā me kēia pō.

I Malaki i ka makahiki 1899, ua koho ke kūlanakauhale e ʻae i $30,000 i loko o nā palapala hoʻopaʻa no ka loaʻa ʻana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kāna mea kanu kukui kūloko.Ma ke koho balota o 813-222, ua hoʻoholo ʻia ka manaʻo me ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻelua hapakolu o ka hapa nui i koi ʻia.

Ua hoʻopau ʻia ka ʻaelike o ke kūlanakauhale me ka Southwestern Power Co. i ka lā 1 o Mei. Ua manaʻo nā luna e loaʻa kahi hale hana ma mua o ia lā.Ua hōʻike ʻia he manaʻolana kūpono ʻole.

Ua koho ʻia kahi kahua ma Iune ma Broadway ma waena o nā alanui ʻo Division a me Railroad ma Joplin hikina.Ua kūʻai ʻia nā ʻāpana mai ke alanui kaʻaahi ʻo Missouri.Ua lilo ka hale mana kahiko o ka hui kaʻa i hale kukui hou.

I ka malama o Feberuari 1900, ua hoolei ka enekinia halehana James Price i ke kua no ka hoala ana i na kukui 100 a puni ke kulanakauhale.Ua hele mai nā kukui "me ka ʻole o ka paʻa," i hōʻike ʻia e ka Globe."Ke kuhikuhi nei nā mea āpau iā Joplin e hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia me kahi ʻōnaehana kukui nona ponoʻī e kaena ai ke kūlanakauhale."

I loko o nā makahiki he 17 e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻonui ke kūlanakauhale i ka mea kanu kukui e like me ka piʻi ʻana o ke koi no nā kukui alanui.Ua ʻae ka poʻe koho pāloka i $30,000 hou i loko o ʻAukake 1904 e hoʻonui i ka mea kanu i mea e hāʻawi ai i nā mea kūʻai kālepa me ka mana ma waho aʻe o nā kukui alanui.

Mai ka 100 arc kukui i ka makahiki 1900, ua pi'i ka helu i ka 268 i ka makahiki 1910. Ua hookomoia na kukui arc "White way" mai ke alanui First a 26th ma Main, a ma na alanui Virginia a me Pennsylvania e like me Main.ʻO Chitwood a me Villa Heights nā wahi e loaʻa ai he 30 mau kukui alanui hou i ka makahiki 1910.

I kēia manawa, ua hoʻohui ʻia ka Southwestern Power Co. me nā hui mana ʻē aʻe ma lalo o Henry Doherty Co. e lilo i Empire District Electric Co. ma 1909. Ua lawelawe ʻo ia i nā ʻāpana mining a me nā kaiāulu, ʻoiai ua mālama ʻo Joplin i kāna hale kukui ponoʻī.ʻOiai naʻe, i nā kau kūʻai Kalikimaka o nā makahiki ma mua o ke Kaua Honua Mua, e ʻaelike nā mea ʻoihana ma ke alanui Main me Empire e hoʻonohonoho i nā kukui arc hou i mea e kono aku ai i ka poʻe kūʻai ahiahi.

Ua noi ʻo Empire e ʻaelike no ke kukui alanui o ke kūlanakauhale, akā ua hōʻole ʻia e nā luna o ke kūlanakauhale.ʻAʻole ʻelemakule maikaʻi ka mea kanu o ke kūlanakauhale.I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1917, ua haki nā mea hana, a ua hoʻemi ʻia ke kūlanakauhale i ka mana kūʻai mai Empire i ka wā i hana ʻia ai.

Ua hāʻawi ke komisina kūlanakauhale i ʻelua manaʻo i ka poʻe koho pāloka: hoʻokahi no $225,000 i loko o nā bona no kahi hale kukui hou, a ʻo kekahi e ʻimi ana i ka ʻae ʻia e ʻaelike i ka mana mai Empire no nā kukui o ke kūlanakauhale.Ua hōʻole ka poʻe koho pāloka i Iune i nā manaʻo ʻelua.

Eia naʻe, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ke kaua i ka makahiki 1917, ua nānā ʻia ka lāʻau kukui o Joplin e ka Fuel Administration, nāna i hoʻoponopono i ka wahie a me ka hoʻohana mana.Ua hoʻoholo ka mea kanu o ke kūlanakauhale i hoʻopau i ka wahie a ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ke kūlanakauhale e pani i ka mea kanu no ka lōʻihi o ke kaua.ʻO ia ka mea kani i ka make no ka hale kanu municipal.

Ua ʻae ke kūlanakauhale e pani i ka mea kanu, a ma Sept. 21, 1918, ua ʻaelike ʻo ia e kūʻai i ka mana mai Empire.Ua hōʻike ke komisina hoʻohana lehulehu o ke kūlanakauhale ua mālama ʻo ia i $25,000 i ka makahiki me ka ʻaelike hou.
