Electric Power for Farming Districts.

Electric Power for Farming Districts.
In the current number of the Engineer
ing Magazine Mr.. William Nelson Black ex-
presses the opinion that all labor saving
machinery and power-producing forces
nave their social and political influences,
and that the electric motor is destined to
play q great role in the social evolution of
the future. 1t is the benefit which the
farmer will derive from this al plication of
electric force to which Mr.. Black chiefly
di cots attention. He estimates that so per
cent of the roads in the United States could
be equipped with the necessary tracks.
poles and wires at a cost of So, 500 per mile,
on the following plan:
''In a district ten miles s~quare-the sur.
face that could be served from a single cen.
trail power station-there would be. in the
larger part of the union, about 100 miles of
railway. Then the total cost of track for a
district ten miles square would be $3.50, 600.
This represents a capitalization of only S.
to the acre, and an annual interest charge
of only thirty cents per acre. With a GEN.
trial power station large enough to operate
all the wagons or cars that would be called
into use at one time in a district. the CAPT.
taliZation need not be more $40 per acre.
This would mean an annuR interest charge
of $50 for each 100 acres of land"
1t is undoubtedly true, as Mr.. Black says,
that the heaviest transportation charges
which the farmer is compelled to pay are due
to his horses, his wagons and the dirt roads;
and that when he shall drive electric wagons
on the highways he will loon learn also tina
the heavier part of his farm labor can be
more expeditiously and cheaply performed
by electric power than by horse tower.
Changed conditions such as these would
naturally have an effect on the movement
of population. Many of the causes which
lead to the concentration of population in
large cities would then be removed; the
country would be regarded as an ideal
place for the rearing and training of child
rem, and there would be a general educa-
tional advance brought about by the frser,
broader and more rapid flow of ideas. All
that MIR. Black sees in the universal dis
tribution of electrical power may not come
to pass; but he has at least suggested a
thought the practical application of which
would help to restore that community of
interests and feeling which once bound the
rural and the urban aegments of society
together.

THE WEATHER.
GROVER

Eight years ago Mr.. Cleveland came
to the presidency from the governors
chair in New York with only a local
fame and u~nacquaiuted with national
affairs. He lacked also what WAS even
more neutrality-suspicious. with mon
prominent in party councils. The mis-
takes that he made were the mistakes
of inexperience. AT the end of his term
he had overcome the difficulties that
beset him at the outset. In the four
years during which he has been out of
office he has been more closely identified
with public questions and public men
than any ex-president of this generation.
1t is the testimony of all who have come
in contact with him that he has steadily
grown in intellectual stature and breadth
of view. Perhaps it might also be said
that he has become a better politician
and appreciates the Importance of car
rying on the administration through
party organization. Certainly he comes
back to office in the full prime of life
with a splendid equipment for it's duties.
He will take the helm of state with a
firm and true hand. The country knows
him and honors him and trusts him.
Our public affairs will go on without a
break, business will at once gain conf
dence and W. firmly believe that the
second administration of Cleveland will
mark the beginning of one of the most
prosperous eras the country has ever
known.

crowded to their utmost. One OF

other 1876 and so on. This was quite
satisfactory for the pickpockets and
they got in their work at rapid
rate: Mrs. Peter Fox, of Salem, was
about the first to discover loss; she
had a purse containing $3.50 taken
about s p. m. The railway author
tiles were put onto the robbery and
the specials cautioned everybody to
hold on to their pockets. Hon. Hen
ry Buxton, of Washington county,
had his purse, containing $50, ta-
ken. Shortly afterwards Jerry
Dale, of Humbolt, CAL, was assisted
into the car very politely by some
one, he said, and when he went
down into his pocket after his purse
to get car fare money he discovered
why he had been so kindly assisted
the purse was gone and with it
SEQ. He did not feel the loss of the
money so much as the purse-he
had carried it since the days of 1872.
Mrs. l.. Sweegle also missed some
coin, and does not know whether
she lost il or had it stolen.
