about 400 inhabitants. As the
nights at Point Hone are six months
in length the need of electric
light is apparent. The electric
generating apparatus will be driven

THE I'OW KIi OF WATER.
Tlie power of water is enormous.
A tiny jet of water descending 1600
feet, traveling at tiso rate of 100
yards a second, cannot be cut into
with an axt or a f-word. it will
fracture the best blades of Toledo
steel. It will hurl an axe through
an oak olank. It's quite Impossible
for a man to cut *u!s stream thru.
To compute the power of falling
water it is necessary to multiply
the volume oL flowni" water in cu
bic feet uer minute by its weight,
62.5 pounds, and divide by 33,000
the number of foot-pounds repre
senting 1 h. p. for 1 minute. A
stream of water when flowing over
a weir five feet in width by one
foot in depth at the rale of one foot
a second and having a fall of twenty
feet, develops eleven horse power.

WOMEN URGED
AS G. JURORS
Denver, March 2- A grand jury |
j with womeii on t is the demand
that has grown here out of the I
J disputes and difficulties which sur- J
I rouuded *he work of the last grand
jury in this city. The women of
j Denver have decided that they can
Lclear up matters much more quick
Iy than the men have teen able to
clear them.
Only the fact that a state statute
debars women from jury service
prevents the women from waiting
upon District Attorney ltush to de
mand the right of service. To re
move that law the women have
started a movement 'o introduce a
bill of repeal in the next legisla
tur or, failing there, to Initiate |
such a measure.
Leaders in the movement de
clare that, with a few intelligent I
keenly thinking women on the
grand jury more especial attention
would be paid to matters affecting J
the home and weliaie of children.
The vice question, the gambling li
quor ordinances, the enforcement of
the eight hour law for women and [
the pure food laws would come in
for particular attention and con-1
sideratlon, they say.
The plea is not for a jury com- I
posed entirely of women but one
wherein women and men would be [
equally represented.
We call attention to the notice
of the town clerk, published else
where in these columns, of the
time and place of registration of
voters for the coming town election
on April 7th next. As this election
will afford the ladies of Skagway
their first opportunity of exercis
ing their rights as electors there
will likely be a largely increased
number of votes cast on that occa
sion to what is usual at the town
elections here.

not advocate ruffles and lace, rib

The streets are not being cleaned

street sweepers hired by the city

Washington, D. C., March 2—Ef
forts to dodge the boil weevil by
planting cotton late have been prov
en fruitless by the government bur
eau of cntemolgoy in spite of the
theory that prevails very generally
through the south. In fact the
most recent experiments along this
line show that late crops are a de
cided disadvantage. In one field
in Louisiana last year 1,125 were
picked from an acre that had been
planted e3rly, while in an adjourn
ing field that had beeu planted late
the yield was but 650 pounds per
acre. la another instance a field
planted May 22 produced but one
fourth of a bale; per acre, though
in 1911 when plantgd a month ear
lier it gave half a bale to the
acre.
