CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE
OF THE
HOME POWER COMPANY
The inortfcaed demand of our patrons for a day service has
prompted the Home Power c- mpany to Install a meter system
and a continuous service, which will enable consumers to
use electricity at their pleasure.
In the past this company has supplied only those REQUEST
ING MBTERS, 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 furiiiahu.g same. The deposit
ro gee from $5.0a to $10.'0 and iu some towns in Alaska,
is i'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 light, per month, $1.00. (or two or
more light*, per taonth $2.00.
Kate per Kilowatt, 10 cents. A sliding seals >.er Kilowatt
for large consumers is now under consideration.
It is not the intention of the Home Power company to in
erea*-« 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 mouths 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 auy hour
of the day or night, ond can use such elc-ctrical ap
pliances as Flat Irons, Toasters. Percolators, Vacuum Clean
ers. 4c. This will give the consumer the opt>ortunity of using
up the full amount of the minimum charge.
The day service will be turued on about June lsi.
The Hoane Power company will carry a full line of up to date
flectrical home dertees, all of which will be sold at a small per
centage above actual cost.
Those having receipt# for cash deposited with the company
for meters eau have money refunded upon presentation of
t.ie same to the treasurer at our office, corner 4th and Broad

A few weeks ago a person could
I ave secured In Skagway almost
any kind of a furnished house want
ed at an extremely modest rental,
but the steadily increasing demand
for that class of property has re
duced the number of desirable teu
ant cottages almost to a minus
quantity.. The truth cf this state
men' was demonstrated yesterday
when J. V. Miller, of the auditing
d~ •rtroeait of the W. P. & Y. R..
a recent arrival from Seattle, who
tr expecting his wife to rejoin him
la Skagway very shortly, spent sev
eral houre in diligent search of a
suitable place in which to domici
liate himself and family, but with
indifferent success.
The members and management of
the Skagway baseball team wish to
thank the people of Skagway for
the liberal oatronage given to their
dance on May 8th; also the Skag
WHy band for their kindness in
playing several numbers; the Elks'
lodge for the loan of chairs; and
Mr. Ikuta for the loan oi pennants.
The success of the dance was large
ly due to Miss Rapu-zi and Miss
Plynu, who sold most of the
tickets. They have the thanks of
the entire team. (While we be
lieve all those mentioned above are
fully entitled to thanks for their
efforts on behalf of the ball team,
we a'so feel that a little courteous
.ecognitlon Is also due the Daily
Alaskan for all the gratuitous ad
vertising it furnished on the above
;*s well as on many ether occasions.

Vivian, the little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Lionel Talbot of this
nlace, is now a firm believer in
the efficacy of advertising in so
far ai it relates tc the columns of
| the Daily Alaskan. On Sunday
she lost a wrist watch, which she
valued very highly, and which af
ter a diligent search without re
sults, in all places, probable as
well as improbable, where it could
have disappeared, she brought a
"lost" notice and inserted it in
the columns of this paper. She
recovrred her property at an early
hour this morning from the top
of t te dresser in her bedroom,
where she now remembers to have
placed it herself before retiring on
the night previous to the discovery
of ner loss.
"Mike" the prodigal, returned
'his morning from Valdez and was

I "Mike" is the thoroughbred Jris'i
setter advertised .-s lost in the
j columns of the Daily Alaskan a
I v eek ago. The notice in the pa
per attracted the attention of a
person who had seen the dog cn
board the boat here just previous
to its departure for the westward.
A cable message was sent to the
deputy U. S. marshal in Valdez to
look out for the dog on the ar
rival of the vess« 1 in thet port,
and it was through the prompt
measures adopted that "Mike" is
i again the sleek and well-fcfl pos
sessor of a "happy home."
The vessels chartered by th*
