SUBJUGATING A
BAlKK HORSE:
••Teaching an cKl Joe new tricks,'
lyis become an :dage, but the new
way of teaching a balky horse to
pull was elucidated yesterday by
tleori:.' Stnrgil!. the Skagway wood
man, and proprietor of Sturgill's
wood i amp, located about seven
miles .'outh of here on the eastern
shore of Lynn canal.
Dr. Oliver Weisdall H. Holmes,
poet i::d essayist. of New England,
was the author <-f the famous poem
entitled "The Oi.e Hess Shay," but
the driver of that ancient vehicle
had nothing on t-turgill. who drives
a one -orse wood wagon, and whose
docile .aid kindly nature has been
-i'rely \ \.-J for an unknown length
of time in the performance of his
daily labor by the contumacy of a
big bay horse which he drives, and
which . t ••X' 'od'is.ly frequent inter
vals has refusw-1 to draw the load
to which he ha.* l»etu attached, no
matter how un.t'tit the need nor
how sontle the persuasive voice of
It's owner.
Monday afternoon Sturgill hitched
up Bucephelus Miot, however, the
favorite riding nag of Alexander the
Great i but th- animal refused to
move, although he hat. only an
empty wagon behind him His
owner put ia many weary hours in
an effort to get the horse to warm
up in the collar, but uselessly, and |
finally his an^er bei: ? thoroughly (
aroused he swore thf !
brute shculd no? be unhitched un
til he showed a aispOiitici- to p^r- !
form his work.
For twenty :"o 'r hours the fight
for supremacy v. ent on between |
man and beast, the former, in ords?r
to be constantly ou the job, spread
ing a bed in thg wagon and sleep
ing there Monday niglit. Sturgill
supplied the animal with food and
-.vater, but was not able to make
.'iui budge forward an inch, and it
ti o'clock last iiight the horse was
still holding out stutborLly.
The matter was brought to the
attention of Marshal Fr;. nk Page,
who, in company with Commissioner
Conway and Deutty United States
Marshal Frank Ci^ok, went down an
interviewed Sturgfll, but as he had.
taken good care «£. the animal and
supplied him viih all he needed in
the way of refreshments, there was
nothing for thera to do except in
an advisory way. They recommend
ed Sturgill to ur.hitch the horse,
b.:t he would not hear to it. They
finally got him tj mount the seat
of the wagon and take the reins,
;u.d then all put their shoulder to
•' hind eud of the wagon and push
ed forward until the horse had to
get a move 011 him or be run down,
lie chose the former alter
native and the last sesn
i)f him, was going at 2:40 clip
his stable, and raising a cloud of
up Broadway 011 Ui3 way home to
dust that almost h'd the entire out
fit from sight.

The niano recital at Elks' hall
last night of Mrs. Frank Suft'ecool's
uupils was attended by a large
number of Skagway people and thc
vario.is numbers on the program
were certainly worthy of the close
attention with which they were
listened to. Each uerformer was so
t-.\ceediugly proficient in his or her
part that it is mpossible for us
to make individual mention cf any
particular one—-so we will speak of
them collectively and sa£ they were
all good, which is well within the

CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
iOF THE
[HOME POWER COMPANY
Tile incresaed demand of our patrons lor a day service has
prompted the Homq Power c- mpany to install a meter system
and a continuous service, which, will enable consumers to
use electricity at thuir pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, for which meter the consumer ma<ip a cash de
posit.
In all cities the meter syatem is used, and a cash deposit
is required by tliq company furnishkg same. The deposit
rauges from $5.00 to $10.bt), and in some towns in Alaska,
is as 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 Kim9.
Nor will an £ change Jje made iu the present meter rates,
which are as follows:—
Minimum rate for one light, per month, $1.00; for two or
mora lights, per month $2.00.
Rate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale uer 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 he 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 electrical ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters, Percolators, VYtcuunr Clean
ers, &c. This will give the consumer the opportunity of using
up the full amount of the minimum charge.
The day service will be turned on about June 1st.
The Home Powesr 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
tae same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way. 4,
