Prosperity
Now is the time to pick up some
cheap lots. It will not be very long
before one or probably two Smelters
will be erected in this city and per
haps a reduction works. Put your
money in the ground — you can't
loose it.

PHIL. ABRAHAMS
Established in 1897
"Kilowatt Hours" are what the
Average, consumer of electric en
erg y pays for when the bill is ren
dered each month, yet there are
thousandsj of householders paying
electric bills who have jiq idea of
w ha« tiiis simple unit, of electrical
measurement means.
The kilowatt hour is just as defin
ite i a quaji'ity to'he electrician as
the gallon of gasoline is to the mo
torist, jw'th the distinction that el
ectricity cannot be adulterated or
s'or^d aud that the tendency in pri«
es of electric service has been re
vision downward instead of upward.
Measured with the average watt
hoar me'er used by all central sta
tions if.j is as definite a quantity of
energy as a gallon of gasoline with
the difference that the average
housp electric meter masures (elec
tricity with a precision which varies
rarely more than two or three per
ecu*. The error is also usually in
the customer's favor, although the
accuracy of thfgj meter is periodically
checked bv a meter tester and kept
within as smali a fraction of error
as is sumanly possible
The watthour meter installed jn
electrically; lighted homes is really
nothing more than a tiny electric
motor built like a watch, with jew
elled bearings and just as carefully
protected against dust With _a dust
prorf iron cover. Only a small
par* o* the current used passes
through,the usual house meter, but
this is sufficient to rotate a cop
per or,aluminum disk which is pi
voted in a magnetic field. The
disk is ^geared, through a train of
tiuy gear wheels to the pointers on
the calibrated ,dial. The meter is
so , connected in the houselighting
circuit that it only operates when
current is being,used and of course
its speed of rotation is in direct
proportion to tk© amount of electri
city that is being drawn through
if. A iladsa lamp consuming but
ten watts, for example, will draw
such a small quantity of current
that the movement of the aluminum
du>k is hardly, perceptible. A car
bon lamp giving the same amount
of light but consuming about 30
watts, three,times ag much electri
city, will at once accelerate the
rate of speed ,of the rotating disk
in 'he meter, affording a srtiking
example of the economy of JIadza
lamps.
How To ltcad lour Meter
Barring homes where jthe older I
type of meters are used, most house'
lighting circuits receive electricity
from the^entral station, through, a.
LJ-K direct reading kilowatt hour
meter. These instruments have
"Kilowatt hours" plaiuly printed
on the dial. Starting at the left
the,four dials indicate respective-,
ly. ten# of thousands, thousands,
hundreds, and tens o£ kilowatts. In
making a Reading it is only neces
sary to read each dial in the. order
named j carefully noting the direc
tion of rotation on each dial and
l>u«ting down only_ the figure last
indicated. This should he, done!
Oiice each month, the reading not
ed and the reading the subsequent
month subtracted .from it. For ex
ample, suppose the reading on Jan
uary 1 were 5064 and oa February
1 the reading jWas 5086. Subtract
ing the first reading from the sec-;
ond leaves 22, the number of kilo
watts used during the month inter
vening. At the usual rate of 10
cents uer kilowatt the bill for the
monih would then he ?2.20. (Where
the bill appears to be excessive It
is a good plan to make readings:
everv week or ten. days and see
how they compare. In this way
it is possible to check a leak which
otherwise might bo unnoticed. When
ever a bill appears to be excessive
it is well to check up every other
uossibility before blaming the meter,
for most electric | light meters are
more accurately tested than the
grocers scales which Weigh |out

Claire Marcil.
Tfre ice on the river and lake was
found *o be smooth and solid with,
'*e | exception of a large number of ;
pressure ridges on the lake, which
vere easily overcome on the initial
trip but which, in the opinion of j
Suo*. Cash of,the Royal Mail ser- ;

leave for Dawson about May 5. •>
George Vogel o!d time resident of

other gentleman of Seattle had or
ganized the Haines Packing1 Co.,
which would can jsalmon in the
Chilkat Inlet-, where the company
are at the presnt time engaged in
erec' ing a one line cannery. The
capacity of the cannery will be
75,000 cases if woiked to its) ut
lii st, but the company only expect
to put up 25,000 cases during the
comiugjseason.
Capt. Smith and Capt. Crosby
brought up the fifty [foot gasoline
launch Emma Jean l'rom Seattle,
and it was at onca taken overj by
Messrs. Vogel and brought up here.
Immediately after the little craft
