CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The iucresaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Home Power C' mpany to install a meter system
and u continuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING METERS, for which meter the consumer made a cash de
posit.
In all cities the meter system is used, and a cash deposit
is required by the company furuishii g same. The deposit
ra..,s«s from $5.08 to $10.10, 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 same.
Nor will any change be made in the present meter rates,
which are as follows: —
.Minimum rate for one ligh*., per month, $1.00. tor two or
more lights, per month $2.00.
Rate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding scale tier Kilowa.tt
for large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Prfwer 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, thi-.t 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, Vacuum 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 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
tae same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad
way.

HAINES" INlylE ANIMAL
SHOW NOW IN I'lUKJKESS
Huitics, Alaska, May 22—Wonder
ful, maiveloU3, spectacular exhibi
tion of quadruped skill. Horses and
cows, large and small, old and
young, tame and vicious—all pranc
ing-, "tangoeing," galloping and
running wild through the main
stree' of Haines, Alaska, every day
at ail hours. This untented ani
iial show, amazing and startling in
t?vc-ry detail takes place daily ap
parently unaided by funny como
idans or skillful ring master; y9t,
such a sensational and heretofore
unheard-of exhibition In the heart
of a supposedly civilized community,
unquestionably demonstrates the
fact that the consummate art of
(lever clowns and skillful riugmast
tr is by no means lacking. Dou't
miss this wonderful spectacle. No
incorporated city in the country can
boasc of a similar open-air, wild
aniwul show, which so jeopardizes
the lives of its inhabitants. Just
think ! I You'll witness horses,
co'ts, cows aud calves, of all j
siz-s aud ages, running and gallop
ing through the main thoroughfares
of the city at ferocious speed,
climbing upon porches and door
steps; waltzing in front and
back yards, and performing the
most intricate gymnastic feats, all
of which is annoying, menacing and
endangers the lives and limbs of
helpless women, children and other
pedestrians. Tlie balmy May air
of Lynn canal, augumented by
g°ntle zephyrs from the snow
capped mountains, give the
animal performers a won
derful imjetus, thus mak
ing their exhibition highly interest
's N'o fatalities have as yet re
sulted; but there may be a "kill
ing" of one or two children any
day, and you don't want to miss
th> excitement and thrills incident
thereto.

Haines, Alaska, May 22—United
S'ates Commissioner J. J. Kennedy,
lias l** two gangs o£ men out
fighting lire for the greater part
of the last week; one over on the
Katzihene river, and the other on
the Haines peninsula helow Mud
bay, and reports that now they
have tho fire under control.
E. D. Wood, who lias been to the
westward as far as Seward, whore
l'e went with a view of obtaining
employment on the government rail
road, has returned to Haines, and
says that in his opinion those in
charge of the construction work
are going at it in the right man
ner, and in the interests ol the la
boring man; that they are not giv
ing out large contracts, but only
small oues which one, two, three
or four men can do by their own
labor, by that means eliminating
all chances for graft and the op
pression of the men who do the
work.
Some one who ilid not have the
fear of the law before his eyes,
stole Mr. Winterbeu-ger's bulletin
eff of the church door. Mr. Winter
berger thinks that some one in la
vor of the saloons did it, but it
matters not who the guilty one is,
it was wrong, and no fair mindsd
person in Haines will uphold any
such work. Nothing is ever gain
ed }>y wrong doing.
II. O. Banta has gone up to his
homestead to establish actual resi
dence, aud will only be in Haines
from now oil as a visitor.
E. A. Adams has sold his homo

MOVE IX THE DIRECTION OF
A "SKAGWAV BEAUTIFUL"
Editor Daily Alaskan:
As I rambled lecently amid the
grnves in the "old cemetery," I
was keenly impressed with tlie need
everywhere apparent, of invoking
the tender offices of affection iu
the care of the precious dead.
A more exquisitely, beautiful spot
could not have beau chosen for
tue last resting place of those
who, "life's fitful fever o'er,"
a>vait the resurrection morn. Na
ture has, with lavish bounty, dower
ed "God's Acre" with an appealing,
tender, restful, beauty. The sweet
symphonies, faultless rythm, with
tho golden notes of feathered chor
isters; the whispered messages of
the errant winds amid leafy bow
em, the diamond-studded spray
of leaping cascades, awakens with
iu our hearts a 'reverent sense of
recognition of God's love and
power, while the moss-covered
mounds that mark the abiding place
of those "Asleep in Jesus," re
mind us that our own days "are
swifter than a weaver's shuttle."
As I mused on these things, Mr.
Editor, it occurred to me how ap
propriate it would be if the ladies
of Skagway would meet and Belect
scrno Saturday iu June or July,
when they could assemble at the
cemetery and spend the day caring
for tho graves of the dead?
The little children could assist,
and upon their susceptible hearts
would ba graven a lesson of rever
ence for departed worth. Later
in the dav the men would no doubt,
join with us in this labor of love.
Many tourists visit this pictur
esque cemetery, lured there by the
sirrring memories of 1898, and
they would carry away with tliem
l'ar tenderer recollections if their
eyes were greetd by evidences that
love had performed her holy rites,
..here sleeps our saluted dead.
So, Mr. Editor, is it asking too
much that we of Skagway set apart
one day out of three hundred and
sixty five, as a "Memorial Day,"—
a day when willing hands and lov
ing hearts would perform a sacred
duty to the dead—<i duty that we
too must some day require of the
living?
I felt the hush of twilight.
On an evening calm and cool;
As one by one each trembling 6tar,
l>ay adreaming in a pool.
'Twas consecrated dust that lay,
Pen»ath my reverent tread;
^a: Skagway's crystal waters sang,
A requiem to the dead.
And peace, like an unseen Angel,
Atlirob with the spirit of prayer;
Just showered her benedictions,
On those loved ones resting there.
Respectfully,
MRS. EDWARD I. WADE.
