CENTRAL LIGHT SUPPLY.
System Proposed for Moha1Ck Valley
TIOrnnS.

Plans for Capitalization Of light supply in the
Mohawk Valley, Upper Hudson River section
and other parts of New York State are I'M
der final consideration by several of the larg
est lighting interests in the state. High pressure
transmission Of gas and electricity at long dis
tances to such extent as has seldom been
attempted in this country will be the basis of
these extensive projects. The beginning of their
installation this spring will mark a new era in
the lighting business in this country
The announcement was made unoficially
that the Utica Gas & Electric Company would
begin work the first day that weather con-
ditlons warranted upon a carefully projected
plan for lighting five gOod-szed toWns-Frank-
fort. llion Mohawk, Herkimer and Little Falls
at distances ranging from ten to twenty-five
miles away from its plant. This means that
one tiny tip will draw the gas for its flame from
tank OF 100000 cubic feet some twenty-five
!iiIles away. II means-as does the whole move
ment which IL exempliles-that low prices and
a demand for modern light under difficult trans
mission cohdltlOnS nave driven capital and inRe
nuity TO extraordinary expenditure and exertion.
Ihis extensive project Utica. which will be
supplemented by electric long distance sys-
TEN almost as comprehensive, is one of a dozen
OF similar scope which are being pushed in this
direction.
through a pipe or a few wires it is becoming
possible nowadays TO send the light for whole
city over score Of miles. That this can be done
has been proved to the engineering world in it's
search for means OF meeting the long distance
problem by the gas supply system recently in
stalled between Geneva and the city of Auburn.
over open country and under Lake Cayuga for
some twenty-five miles pipe only six inches
In diameter to-day carries from big tank in
Geneva the entire supply of gas light for Au-
burn and It's forty thousand Inhabitants. Ever
since this light line laid It has carried the
citys gas without a break, and the entire plant
which the local company has kept at Auburn
in readiness TO start up at a moments notice
should the supply fail has never been called
upon for that purpose.
For an engineering achievement the Auburn

lively simple. The six-iuch pipe is laid across
the open country Just below the line OF frost.
To cross Cayuga Lake it simply tointed and
sunk to lie on the bottom. Along the twenty
five miles Of Its route there several villages.
at which points the gas is tapped reduced TO low
pressure and supplied by local piping system.
From such examples as these engineers are
confident that within year they work out
a practical Capitalization of the lighting supply
throughout whole counties and bring about
eventually a revolution In present methods.

March TO- in order that the schedule may
be properly made out and mailed to each
contestant ten days before March %, the
date set for the opening of the tournament.
The committee in charge draws special at
tention to the fact that although any indi-

n. B. A. may compete in the individual
and two-man contests. team to compete
in the fiye-man event must have been prop

the start of the tournament.
The Importance Of bowling clubs and indi-
viduals becoming members of the associ-
alton previous to the national champion
ships, which are to be held at Atlantic City
beginning March %, is made evident by the
number of meetings being held in all the
big eastern cities for the purpose of form

ranged with this object in view in Newark
Paterson, N. j.. Washington, d. c.. Balti-
more, Md while in New York the meeting
of the n. Y. 3. A. will show how strongly
that organization will be represented in the
Atlantic City tournament.
Elaborate and extensive plans are being
laid out for the scoring at the champion
ships at Atlantic City next month. An i'm
mense scoreboard. on which the scores will
be posted by means of whitewash and
brush. will tell all present how things are
going. BY carefully prepared system the
official records will be so kept that con-

S. T. Bradley, a soldier in the ranks of the

Mrs Matte told the justice that she had

but when member of the old Salvation
Army called to see her about it she gave
him bill Of sale for the property.
Mr.. Barnes applied for writ of replevin.

the deputy sheriff that the bonnet had been
either destroyed or remodeled and decorat-

members of the old Salvation Army ap-
peared to identify the bonnet they were
shown two. but were unable to state
whether either was the original bonnet

Justice McNulty thereupon gave judgment
against 8. 7. Bradley for the sum of s.,

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, February II. 1907
Owners of fast horses in this vicinity
have taken advantage Of the fine sleighing
or the past few days, and each afternoon
have been out in considerable numbers en-
Joylng the sport. The main street of Rock
Vile has been temporarily converted into
speedway, the regulation against fast driv-
Ing having been suspended for the time
being, and hot brushes are the order of the
day.
An amusing incident in connection with
the sport occurred yesterday afternoon A
handsome sorrel trotter belonging to one of
Rockvilles prominent lovers of horse flesh,
purchased in Chicago not long ago at a
FANCY price, and bay PAGER, the property
OF another of Rockville's horsemen, who
5ourneyed away down into Tennessee" to
buy her In order to have it on all the
other county nags, were out on exhibition
at the same time. Both animals were even
ly matched in speed and both were proudly
prancing up and down the street, having
swept everything before them and appar-
emily looking for other victims. About this
time Mayor Lee Offutt happened along on
the way to his farm, and he was sarcas-
tically invited by the drivers of the cocks
of the walk" to turn around"
Mayor Onutt never claimed to possess
anything faster than good roadster, but
he's game, so he accepted the challenge and
did turn around He selected the Chi
cago wonder for the first hitch" AS
the horses faced the starter the driver of
the western horse could not hide his glee
at the prospect of what he was going to do
to 'his honor" The latter, however, laugh
ed last and best, for when the finish was
reached the mayors horse was SO far in
the lead that the other fellow, out of pure
chagrin. kept moving until he landed
his "world-beater" safely in his stable.
Without even having his roadster
rubbed down and cooled off, Mayor Offutt
called upon the other challenger to Zine
up This the latter did with evident re-
luctance, the exhibition given by the may
or's horse having Jared him somewhat.
The horses were sent away to good start
and for just about ten yards the Tennessee
PAGER kept abreast of the mayors road
ster;" after that it more than easy
for the mayor, the finish of the half-mile
route showing many lengths Of daylight
between the two horses.
The fun was witnessed by large num-
Der Of persons. who lined the sidewalks
from one end of the route to the other, and
1t is needless to say that it was not the
mayor to whom they gave the laugh.
Mayor Offutt says he has no intention of
putting his roadster on the track but
that whenever there's snow on the ground
he stands ready to meet any and all such
''crack-a- jacks as the ones from Chicago
and Tennessee.
