from the main. line At the barns the
electric motors are installed. The far
mer making use of electricity has under
his system no expert assistant to en-
ploy. A 1O-year-old boy can start or
ton. Breakdowns are few and the mo-
tors are protected by three separate
lightning arreSters.
The monthly expense on the farm
for the use of of electric power varies
with the size of the place and the char
acter of the work to be performed. Six
months constitute the working period
ON nearly all of the farms. the remain
ing period of the year the motors be
ing little used. On what is known as the
Kenyon farm the electric power cost
$40 per month for six months. on the
Bosworth farm $G.46 per month, and on
the Tefft farm about $500 per month.
For the entire year a fair. approximate
cost would be about $3.50 month.
The farmers are charged for their
electricity cents per kilowat, and it is
all supplied through meters.
Even at that rate the profit to the
electric companies is great, because
these companies generate in large units
and the farmer does not as rule, oper-
ate his motor during their peak loads.
AS compared with installing a gasoline
engine plant, the electric plant is cheap
er by $3.50.
The nature of farm work makes it al
way necessary for the power to be on
and the most electrical work is requir-
ed in cool or cold weather, which is
highly favorable for the electric mo-
tor

Has Come to Say.

In Kane county the electric motor
has come to stay, and what is being
done with it there. although it has not
been exploited, has already attracted
the attention of electrical experts from
all parts of the country. They have
visited many of the farms and studied
the practical workings of the motors.
The electric railway companies made
the first advances in this direction, but
during all of this time the farmers have
taken the matter in their hands and
have pushed the rapid addition of mo-
tor houses to their farm buildings.

MINING NOTES.

Mitchell. Work has been started on
this mine, near Pine Grove. A small
force is engaged in cleaning out the
shaft, doubtless for the purpose of
enabling the property to be inspected
1t is not claimed that the mine has
been actually sold. That will prob
ably depend upon whether the intend
ing purchasers are satisfied with the
prospects in the underground work
iugs 1t is conceded the most likely
quartz mine in that region. 1t has
surrendered gold in paying quantities
in the past, and those who have
worked in 1t are of the opinion that
there is lots of the precious metal left
within its boundaries. 1t has only
been prospected to the depth of be-
tween 200 and 300 feet.
Wheeler Gravel. The men who took
the contract to excavate the bedrock
hume for this gravel proposition at
Pine Grove, we are informed, quit
work few days ago. They ran
across a harder formation than they
bad anticipated.

The Indian, Dan Barry, was the man

directed suspicion to him. This, we
are informed, has been fully explain
ed. Barry was on white horse,
travelling toward the Indian camp.
He left the roadway at the point, to
go to the camp, that being the most
direct route. The footprints of shoes
similar to those worn by young Maker,
together with the divergence of this
man, who now turns out TO have been
Barry, awakened suspicious, But as
far as the Indian is concerned he has
accounted for his whereabouts and
conduct, and he will not likely be
held any longer.

THE STAPLES CASE.

To morrow morning is set for pass
ing sentence upon f. N. Staples, con
victed of murder in the first degree
for the killing of his wife by means
of poison on the 31st of August last.
The only judgment the court can
pronounce in the case, under the YER
dict, is the death penalty. This can
only be averted by the court
granting a new trial, or delay in pro-
nouncing judgment at the request of
the defendants counsel. The attor-
ney's for the defense will present a
bill of exceptions, upon which they
will move for a new trial. If this is
not ganted; they Will take an appeal
to the supreme court. The papers
upon which the motion will be based
are very voluminous, and it is prob
able stay of proceedings will be
asked for on the gr ound that the
documents are not completed.

THE NEW WORKS AT ELECTRA.

The new machinery at Electra is be-
ing rapidly put in place. Everything
is on the ground. The two new
dynamos are being put in position.
They are getting ready to paint the
inside of the big pipe. 1200 feet long,
from top to bottom. This is quite a
job, as the painters will have to be
lowered from the upper portion, or
from manholes as the work progress
es. New insulators are being placed
on the pole line to San Francisco, as
the present insulators are not cal
culated to carry the amount of cur
rent that will be generated by the new
dynamos. The work is being done
gradually, shut down of the plant
for about two hours each day being
necessary for this work. The in
sulators are expensive affairs; it is re-
ported they cost something like s12
per pole for the insulators alone, the
insulators being of porcelain. They
are also providing diverting gates or
channels, so that in case of break in
the line the waters Will be diverted
from the works. 1t is claimed that
the two new machines that are being
put in will do the work of the FIVE
machines now in use; and with great
saving in water, owing to the increas-
ed fall. Some forty or fifty men are
employed about the works in various
ways. When the machinery is all in
running order probably not more
than ten or twelve will be needed to
do the whole work.

Republicans the Party of Negatiou.
The faction of the Republicans who
call themselves "stand patters" have
but little to be proud of IN that term.
When the late Senator Hanna issued
his orders to the party to stand pat"
and prevent revision of the tariff that
fosters the trusts, it was an acknowl-
edgement that the Republican party
was in league with the corpora tons.
As far as the tariff is concerned the
Republicans still stand pat and the
greater faction Of the party declares
the tariff must not be disturbed, while
the administration faction all declare
they are ardent protectionists. Be
tween the stand patter and the pro
tectionist there is no great gulf fixed;
so far they have both been united;
there is a plainly marked path from
one faction to the other and at each
end the guide board has the legend
taken from the Republican national
platform which reads:
Protection which guards and de-
yelops our industries is cardinal
policy Of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad"
To stand pat, therefore, means to
stand in the way of progress. Pro-
lection means the same and those who
declare for it are the incarnation Of
negatiOn. They decline to take from
the trusts and corporations even part
of the power they gave them to plum
der the people

EVOLUTION OF THE KITCHEN.
Rapid Progress Made in ConVen-
fences in Recent Years.

The evolution of the modern
kitchen is just as interesting a story
as that of the evolution of any other
feature of present day life in enlight-
ened countries.
1t has come straight from the out
door fire, just as modern dress has
evolved from the blanket and loin-
cloth of the savage.
When the Romans invaded Britain
they found the inhabitants living In
one room, partially underground.
The cooking, however, was done
mainly in the open air, as a matter
of convenience. When it was done
in the house the smoke and odor
escaped through a hole in the roof, as
it does in the huts of savages today.
One of the greatest, most civilizing
and most elegant inventions ever
made was the fireplace, when
brought the first semblance of mod
ern decency, neatness and comfort
into the home. The fireplace seems
very old fashioned, yet the mother of
the present writer not very aged
woman, can remember when the first
stove was brought into her home in
Northern Vermont.
Later, as a young married woman,
she possessed one of the first three
lamps brought into St Lawrence
County, N Y.
1t was the middle ages before the
kitchen had been raised to the dig
nifty of an established apartment.
Strange doings went on in those me-
diaevel kitchens. Butchers slaught-
cred animals there, which were skin
ned and dressed, as well as cooked,
in the kitchen The family black
smith kept his fire there, and repair
ed the ploughs and wheels. of the
estate
Coal began to be used as kitchen
fuel in 1915, though not generally for
two hundred years after The oven
did not come into use until the year
400, and then it was the old fashion
ed brick oven, which persisted for
hundreds of years. The stove, when
invented, took the place of the separ-
ate oven and the fireplace, with its
spit, crane and hanging pots-NeW

BT oilers or Roasters.

Some poultry farmers claim that
they can make more money in raising
roasting fowls for market than they
can with broilers. On the other hand
there are poultrymen who say the
profits are decidedly in favor of broil-
ers. Much depends upon the markets.
In some sections of the country broiI-
ers would have very little sale, while
in other sections there is a great call
for them. Where the market is fav-
orable TO roasting fowls. say four to
six pounds in weight. it is more profit
able TO raise the latter as the extra
pounds in weight over the first two
cost considerably less, on account of
the gain being quickly made. Where
it is possible both broilers and roast
ers should be raised, so as to fit ell
classes of trade-HOme Monthly.

Political Potpourri,

If that largest searchlight in tie
world had been installed at Washing
ton instead of Pixies Peak it might
do better service by being turned on
the Republican grafters who have pos
session of the government departments
than on the majestic scenery of the
Rockies
1t is intimated that when tie other
big life insurance companies are in
vestigated there will be more disas-
trous disclosures for their policyhoId-
ers than those the Equitable have had
to endure. These savings banks. for
that is what they are. must be divorc-
ed from the railroad interests that con
troll Wall street. or they will be
wrecked as other corporations have
been to build up fortunes for individ-
uals.
The first business the United States
Senate should do upon meeting is TO
declare vacant the seats Of all Sena-
tors convicted of crime. The Senate
is the judge of the election and quail
fication of its memberes and if it
wishes to preserve it's creult for be-
ing the greatest legislature body on
earth, and beyond reproach. it should
clear its seats of eorruptionists with
out fear or favor. The Republican
party, which controls the Senate, can
not afford to shelter those who have
been proven guilty in open court and
it should not expect the Democratic
minority to make the first move by
introducing the resolution for expui-
sion.
