All in all, the celebration was
actually the very best that was
ever witnessed in these parts. The

though larger motors have less loss
than small ones.
Here is a short sighted policy Of
the local power company: The Ton
opah Mining company, the Goldfeld
Consolidated, and big companies us
ing power, get a very low rate
claimed to be about So per horse
power per month, with a discount on
that that probably brings it under
81 a horsepower. But how much Of
that horsepower they actually use
we are unable to say. They pay for
about 2000 horsepower whether they
get it or motive understand.
Now the big companies" which
have proven mines, and are using
lots of power, get a better rate than
any one else can get-yet they are
mining out the ground, and there
is only one crop in a mine, and
when it is mined out, whether TWEEN
ty years, fifty years or 5000 years
it IS gone for good and the power
company is out of a customer. Yet
a new eompany-prospecting trying
to find ore, is held up for over 500
per horsepower per month.
: If the new companies should find
ore they might become steady users
l of W for years, and use as mucf
or more than any of the big com
~panies, yet the power company give
the big companies that are using u
r the of the country, a bet
ter rate than the new companie
that are opening up new ground .
become greater users OF power
9 whereas If they would give the ne'
!, companies a chance to get cnea
power they might open up NOR
d mines and give the power compan
more customers.

CONTEST OVER PERRY.

Rumor yesterday was to tne eneet that there will be decided hitch m inc having of Jeff Davis avenue. re- eently ordered by the City Council. The Contract with the Southern Fay ing and Construction Company 10 nave the street with asphalt has been sIened and the work is about to be- gin. but the street car company which will have to pay for 9 sizable norfion of the work. it is said. has kicked. because 1t can have Its share of work done cheaper by other parties so 1t claims.
 Just how the matter, if 1t material izes, will turn out is cause for some talk in legal circles. It is city law that the paving can be forced on property owners. but the relationship between the municipal authorities and the street car company are the most cordial and their wishes in the mat ter. if ia understood, are always to be, to a certain extent, considered
 The hitch comes in the fact that the contract has been signed. That fixes the city as being on the side of the question of the paving company. But 4he transportation people have friends samonk the citizens and the city fam lily and if the case goes into court it promises to develop some unsual sit- uations.
