Turning ON cold On Kitehen

~NAN IN
Not yet can the busy housewife turn on
the cold in her refrigerator by twisting the
same switch which controls the electric
lights, says the Technical World, but that
is only because inventors have so far failed
to put on the market an electric refrtgerat-
ing plant OF small enough capacity. The prin-
ciple is well established. and It has been
demonstrated that a one horsepower plant
can be operated at cost nearly 50 per cent
less than the price OF the 500 pounds OF ice
daily, which is its equivalent in refrigera-
ting power
Everybody knows that the ice box now in
general use is a nuisance and, under many
circumstances, positive menace to health
II 1t is to be kept in a sanitary condition II
requires constant and careful attention. The
announcement is. therefore, OF universal
Importance that electrical engineers have
already demonstrated the fact that in any
town where the cost OF electric current is
not more than cents per kilowatt-hour
electricity will do the work Of ice far more
cheaply, and that with no more attention
than is required by the incandescent lights.

the market plant which can be connected

A contract has just been closed for the
construction and equipment of the Spokane
& Inland railway, extending from Spokane
10 Moscow, Wash, a distance OF 146 miles.
The organization, which has Just been COM
pleted is controlled by many Spokane fnan-
ciers. J. p, Graves Is president. Besides
the length of the road there are many fea-
lures connected with this enterprise which
make It peculiarly interesting to railroad
engineers. For electrifying the line the
Westinghouse single phase alternating cur
rent system is used.
Power for operating the road will be OBJ

company, which has harnessed the waters

Gated along the line. In these stations the
current will be reduced for the operation Of
the motors on the cars.
The road will be equipped for passenger,

passenger car will be provided with four

The foot ball team Of Bellevue college
has established itself as one of the strong
teams in Nebraska by administering an
overwhelming defeat to the much heavier
team of Creighton university at Omaha
last Saturday. The victory of Bellevue
over Creighton is of far more than passing
interest to Bellevue because this is the
first time since the first year of foot ball
at the college that Creighton has been de-
feated by the lighter and less experienced
men from down the river. Every regular
man. the subs, and also the second team
were on the field Monday night ready to
work harder than heretofore, The reg
ular men were put through a fast signal

pet plan of George Tebeau, who hopes to
couple up Louisville Columbus, Indianapo-
lis Buffalo, Baltimore, Jersey City and
Providence, with one other good town,
and make a third major league, If the Two
big leagues now in operation do not con-
solidate. This is no iridescent dream, not
by long shot Tebeau has been working
on the scheme for q long time and little
doubt exists as to its feasibility: only the
psychological moment is waited. Last
summer at Denver Tebeau told his friends
that next year Denver would be in the
league with Milwaukee and Kansas City.
Whatever else we may think Of George,
we have TO admire his large, square head,
for with Louisville planted in his proposed
new circuit, and Denver and Kansas City
in the Western, he would surely look like
the real goods in base ball. He is quite
willing to sell Kansas City, for he knows
he is not popular there, and that it will be
losing game for him as long as he stays,
but he wants Denver, for that is money
maker for him. II the Tebeau plans are
carried out the Western league circuit next
season will consist OF Milwaukee, Minneap-
oils. st. Paul Des Moines. Omaha, Kansas
City and Denver, with probably third
team in Chicago, or else Sioux City. Omaha
supporters of the game would prefer the
latter, for Sioux City is undoubtedly the
best ball town Of its inches in the country
and would be sadly missed by the local
patrons.

through the present American association
circuit is sure to be split, and that will
leave a chance for the Western to hook

OF these plans is likely to go through, or
