CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The iucre^aed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Hornr Power c mpany to install a meter system
and a continuous sen-ice, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
Iu the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, for which meter the consumer made a cash de
J II fi&MTlinHWi
In all cities the meter system is used, and a cash deposit
is required by the company furnishii g same. The deposit
rj iKoe from $5.09 to $10.iO and ill some towns in Alaska,
is <>s high as $15.00.
The Home Power company will not require a deposit on me
ters, and no charge will be made at this time for the installa
tion of the same.
Nor will any change be .nade in the present meter rates,
which are as follows:—•
.Minimum rate for one ligii*. i>er month, $1 00; for two or
more lights, per mouth $2.00.
Kate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale ».er Kilowatt
for large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Power company to In
crease the cost to the consumer, but to place all consumers
on a standard basis, so that each may be able to take advan
tage of the continuous system.
The Home Power company further realizes, that during the
summer months the average home will not use 20 Kilowatt
hours for lighting purposes, which is the amount of the mini
mum charge, but with the continuous service the consumer
has the privilege of using electrical appliances at any hour
of the day or night, and can use such elc-ctrWal ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters, Percolators, Vacuum Clean
ers. &c. This will give the consumer the opi>ortunity of using
ttp the full amount of the minimum charge.
The day service will be turned on about June 1st.
The Home Power company will carry a full line of up to date
electrical home devices, all of which will be sold at a small per
centage above actual cost.
Those having receipts for cash deposited with the company
for meters can have money refunded upon presentation of
t,ie same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4tfi and Broad
way. 'T

••nOLLV MADISON DAY"
V/ashington, May 20—Today is
"Dolly Madison Day," wherever the
Woman's National Democratic leagu
is represented. The organization had
its inception at a '"Dolly Madison
breakfast" two years ago, and at
thejr recent meeting here the wo

Your Boy
and the Saloon
The saloon in our town is con
tinually on the lookout for recruits,
and 1 have noticed that conscrip
tion is not necessary to bring them
in. Once a young man has deserted
from the ranks of the total abstain
ers, he seems to consider it his |
duty to entice non-drinking friends (
into the Palace of Gin.
Maybe you have a son ? Are you!
going to allow him to han ground !
the saloon on the corner? 1 fancy
I hear you say, " Not if 1 know it."
That is the right spirit—but wait.
When your boy is eighteen or
twenty he will be getting beyond
your control, won't he ? He will
say, "1 am able to take care of
myself." But we know that he
can't tak« care of himself, when
he saloon is at the corner, don t
ve? That is why I can't go to
sleep at night until my boy comes
lome. 1 am afraid—afraid of The
Saloon in our town.—Robert Todd,
n Union Signal.
Fathers and mothers of Skag
<vay, where are your boys?
Where do they spend their
jvenings? Can YOU go to sleep
it night when they are out, or do
frou lie awake listening for their
returning footsteps? Are they
safe? Are you SURE? Before God,
ire you SUKE they are safe ? If
:hey are not, WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
And rvhat are you going to do
ibout itt Will you barter your

AFTER THE WAR
TAX DODGERS'
Dawson News: rc.;tmaster Mc
Car'.er received in the mail from
Ottawa today instructions that no
one is to be allowed to deliver
bills, accounts or communications in
envelopes. The government in
tends to get all the war tax due it.
The circular follows:
PostofHce Department, Ottawa,
Canada.—Under the Pcstoffice Act,
sections 65 and 66, the postmaster
general has the exclusive privilege of
receiving, collecting, conveying and
delivering letters within Canada.
Bills and accounts, whether in
open or sealed envelopes, as well
as circulars or other printed mat
ter enclosed in envelopes sealed or
ready to be sealed, are "letters"
within the meaning of the Postof
fice Act.
There is a penalty under section |
136 of the Postoffice Ai t which I
may amount to $20 for each let- j
ter unlawfully caijj^d.
It has been brought to the 'U
tt ntion of the postoffice department
that some business firms desiring |
avoid paying the war tax which i
became effective on the 15th of
April propose making arrangements
for the delivery of accounts, bills,
circulars, etc., through means eth
er than the postoffice, contrary to
the postal act, and a warning is
hereby given that the postoffice de
partment intends to insist that the
law shall be rigidly lived up to,
and will in no circumstances allow
these parties to avoid paying the
one-cent tax which has been im
posed for war purposes.
All letters conveyed, received,
collected, sent or delivered in con
travention of the postoffice act
are to be seized and the case re
ported immediately to the inspector
in order that necessary steps mnv
be taken for the prosecution of the
offenders in all cases where the
law has been contravened. By or
der,
R. M. COULTER,
Deputy Postmaster-General.
'THE MICHIGAN '
TWOjEIIT LAW[
I Grand Kupids, Mich., May 1!) -j1
Suit to test the constitutionality of j'
Michigan's two cent passenger fara i:
law was started here today before
Judge Loyal E. Knappen and Ar- J
ihur Dennisou, of the circuit court '
of appeals, Cincinnati, and Judge 1
Sessions, of the United States dis
trict court, Graud Rapids. The '
bill of complaint was entered by
the Ann Arbor railroad company, 1
a Michigan corporation.
The railroad seeks an injunc
tion from the United States court
to restrain the Michiau iailroad
commission and the attorney gen
eral from enforcing the provisions
of the two cent fare law, which
was enacted by the legislature cf
1907. Practically every railroad
systean in the state has joined its !
case with that of the Ann Arbori
in seeking to have the low rate law
knocked out.
The court action follows the fail
ure of the railroad interests to |
[Obtain the repeal of the act by the
last legislature.
