THREE RUNS A MONTH
DURING THE YEAR,

The fire department during 1906 an.
swered 80 alarms, a little more than
three a month, against "a for the year
before. Although there were more
than a third alarms, the fire loss
was the smallest for many years. This
is due, according to members of the
department, partly to the chemical en-
CINE and partly to the efficient reorgan
ization of the department under Chiei
Gramm's ideas.

Discrimination in Light Rates.

The city council has commenced an
investigation of the status of the elec-
trio lighting system in Moscow. At
this time the following facts have
been ascertained: That in 1904 the
city council voted a 20-year franchise
to the Moscow Electric Light & Pow
er company, in which the city is to
have during the first five years of
the life of the franchise one-half of
per cent on the gross earnings for
light and heat, but nothing on the
earnings for power. Thereafter 1
per cent on the earnings from same
sources. The greatest earning item Is
left out.
The council also discovered that
Pullman is paying 1 per cent per kilo-
watt for power while Moscow is pay
ing 2h cents. Pullman's arc lights
for street lighting are on a meter,
and they cost on an average of s3,2S
per month per light, while Moscow is
paying $3.50 per light per month.
Under the provisions of an October,
1906 contract running three years,
some doubt exists as to relief A thor
