per in the United
States.
Circulation 100000

The seventy-fourth year of its exist

lar than at any period of its remarkable
career. 1t is now read each week by
more than million people. Its field is
not circumscribed by State boundaries.
but involves the length and breadth of
the United States, giving it an inquest
ionable right of claiming to be the great
est national weekly newspaper i'll the
country.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly fami-
ly newspaper. The one object of its
publishers has always been to make it fit
for the American home, for the fireside,
and of interest to every member of the
family. To fulfill this purpose it is kept
clean and wholesome. The news of the
world is handled in comprehensive man
ner, and the various departments of The
Blade are edited with painstaking care.
The Household page is delight to the
women and children; current affairs are
treated editorially without prejudice; the
serial stories are selected with the idea
of pleasing the greatest number of fiction
lovers; the Question Bureau is scrap
book of information; the Farmstead col
umns are conducted with the purpose of
giving the patrons a medium for the ex-
change of ideas and information on farm
topics. No department is neglected, but
every feature is taken care of with the
idea of making The Blade worth many
times the price of subscription-one dol
lar year.

The Electric Light & Power
Co. Ready for Business.
EDITOR CLARION:-

AS the CATOCTIN CLARION Is the
medium of communication for that
which interests the citizens of Thur
mont, it is the desire to keep them
fully informed through that medium
as to the progress being made by the
Citizens Electric Light Il Power Co.
to install the plant.
There have been delays incident to
getting charter, not being able to do
anything legal until all preliminarles
thereto are complied with. We can
now say to our citizens, that Monday
night was the first that we were in
shape to do legal business under our
incorporation. All contracts have
been closed with the corporation otii-
Gals of the town, safeguarding the
town so that it can take over the plant
when it gets the legal authority to do
so. All water rights, pipe line rights,
and power house site, have been Sc
cured; the matter of an engineer Is
now claiming the attention of the di-
rectors.
The Stock Book is now legally OPP
ened and any citizen Of the town OF
Thurmont can subscribe for stock,
the shares are 500 each and the cit
liens of the town have passed reso-
luton that they will ask the Lcgisla
ture of Maryland at its January scs-
sion of 1910 to pass bill authorlz-
ing the town of Thurmont to vote
upon an issue of bonds in dcnomina-
ton of 500 each and to bear interest
at the rate of > per ccntum, payable
semi-annually, these bonds to be eX-
changed for the stock of the Citizens
Electric Light Il Power Company at
par.
1t is the desire of the said company
that every household in the town Sc
cure one or more of these bonds by
subscription to the stock of said COM
pany, then each household instead Of
sending it's money paid for light to
some foreign corporation, or person,
virtually passes it from one pocket to
the other. What has kept France
from bankruptcy is that her citizens
carry her debt-that it matters not
much what the tax rate is, the mon
cy comes back to those that pay it.
1t is not my desire to argue the qurs-
ton, but to explain to the citizens
the desires and working of the Citi-
Gems Electric Light a. Power Com
pany.
There has been few questions and
arguments on the amount of power
to be derived from the small flow of
water in Big Hunting Creek at the
present low water. | think all will
agree that the present drought is un-
prccedentcd, except perhaps, last
year.
We have now only IS feet of water
per minute flowing, but this, under
the head we will secure will give 315
horsepower hours per day or about
Il horsepower for ~ hours run, or,
3l4 horsepower for 10 hours, or, for
our lighting load of say 4 hours -
horsepower. We will require II Kill
owatt or say % horsepower during
that time and 7 kilowatt or say 10
horsepower for 6 more hours, we will
therefore consume 1872 horsepower
hours for Lighting purposes. We will
still have 1913 horsepowcrs hours for
commercial purposes or day load,
even at the small flow of the stream.
The officers of the company are
Peter n. Hammakcr, President;
Chas. M. Macklcy, V. Pres; Lester
S. Bircly, Secretary; DR.. Morris A.
Bircly, Treasurer.
A DIRECTOR.
