The fact that it is not the number of lamps
but the quantity used that is the basis of
charge is much more attractive to the con-
sumer than a t1at-rate system.
From data on file 1t is evident that MANY
more lights will be sold if facilities are in
creased. 1t would appear that the original
purchase was of rather inferior pant at
an increased valuation and very expensive TO
conduct The cost of repairs was large
Also that the outfit was run at q disadyan ia ge
until last year, when most of the old inferior
machinery was taken out and exchanged for
new.
We have now two arc-light dynamos capaple
of carrying 100 lights each. One OF these is
working up to It's limit, while the other is
held in reserve. We also have one incan-
descent dynamo, and with the proposed new
outfit there will be capacity for fully 5000
incandescent lights. In addition to the 200
arc lights provided for, there should be no ne
cessity for new machinery for at least FIVE
years to come.
If 5000 arc lights can be sold the income
should be from $500 to $500 per month,
which amount ought to carry the entire cost Of
running the plant
1t would appear, also, that while no surplus
help is now employed, some OF that help is
not overworked and could easily perform the
additional service that will be required bv the
proposed extension and enlarged machinery

THE MORMON CHOIR.
The First Concert in Oakland Was a
Musical Triumph.

The First Concert in Oakland Was a
Musical Triumph.
OAKLAND, CAL, April 1.-THE Nor
mon choir gave its first concert in Califor-
MIA at the First Congregational Church
tonight. Apart from the musical perfec-
ton that has been attained by the choir
the simple fact that it is a Mormon choir
from the Salt Lake Tabernacle adds greatly
to the interest of the audience. Particu-
larly was this the case when the last num-
ber on the programme had been rendered.
The director announced that there was
one more number that they were pleased
to sing. I'VE have not been State long"
he said, land we like our State song"
The full choir then sang Utah, We Love
Thee" The music is somewhat martial,
and the evident pride of the singers in the
new State was very marked.
The choir presented one of the prettiest
pictures ever seen in Oakland as they
faced the audience. 1t consisted of about
seventy five young ladies and sixty men
and was accompanied by string quartet,
piano, the church organ and harmonium.
The ladies were all dressed in white and
flowers in the corsage and in their hair.
The chorus singing is perfect and the
soloistS possess marked ability.
The programme was arranged so as to
give full scope to the tastes OF musical
critics. 1t contained Scotch airs, seiec-
tions from "Il Travotore, "The Mormon
Dedication Hymn" "Hosannah" and the
Hallelujah chorus from "The Messiah" !"
Master Charlie Pike, the boy alto, is GER
tairly phenomenon. His voice is mar
velously rich and powerful and it seemed
almost impossible that the excellent rea-
dition of "Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
could come from such a boyish throat.
The choir is staying in it's own special
train at the mole and hundreds of friends
have come with the singers During their
trip they will give only eight concerts in
this State.

VARNTS DEATH.
Beginning of the Trial of one of the
Two Accused.

Beginning of the Trial of one of the
Two Accused.
OAKLAND. CAL, April 14.-The trial of
Michael Ghirardelli, charged with the
murder OF Felice Varni on December l,
1895, in the foothills back of Elmhurst
was begun before Judge Greene to-day.
The case will be stubbornly contested, and
as there is nothing but circumstantial evil
dence there is some doubt as to whether
conviction will be secured.
Varni went out hunting with Ghirar-
delll, Lazeretta and Devincenzi, and the
next day his dead body was accidentally
found by a deputy sheriff who was out
serving papers. The evidence at the pre-
liminary examination was not strong.
Landmark Going.
