WRITES ON ELECTRICITY.
James 4. Davidson Has Interesting
Magazine Article on "Selling Ell
ectricity.


The January Selling Electricity"
has an interesting article by James
e. Davidson of this city, president
and general manager of the Consol-
idated Lighting Company on "An All
Day Power Peak" or selling power to
the granite industry of Vermont un-
der unique conditions. Mr. Davidson
says.
Every central station managers
idea of Utopia is a uniform load
curve, indicating a load factor close
ly approaching 100 per cent for "a
hour periods, month in and month
out; but we are all familiar with the
very different type of load common
in most small cities. There is a high
peak for a few hours in the early
evening, gradually diminishing up to
| II p. M, when the street lighting is
practically the only demand on the
plant until o'clock next morning
About that time, in intermittent power
| load of a few hundred kilowatt
comes on for or 10 hours, such as
grist mills, elevators, and small
motors for grinding coffee. making
ice cream, etc, all with low load
factor and fluctuating demand. Two
or three times a week, a manufacture
err or two calls for from 20 to 80 II.
P. about 4:30 p. M, on dark day.
just when a 20 H. p. printing press
is running off the evening paper and
every extra XIV takes gigantic pro-
portions.
This is the type of load l was ac-
customed to until l came to Mont
pelier, VT, four years ago and found
a rather remarkable situation, i'll
effect, an all day peak, 80 per cent
of the connected load showing u
customers load factor of 69.7 per
day. This means non-lapping load
of extreme regularity, with a con-
nected induction motor load during
the day of 1850 H. p and a station
power factor that runs from 50 to
SO per cent; this in spite of the fact
that no synchronous motors are
used on our lines.
"The Consolidated Lighting Com
pany serves a community of about
$4,000 people in the cities of Montpel
Ter, Barre, Graniteville and Water
bury and several surrounding towns,
the heart of the granite industry and
the source of the famous Barre
granite. The quarrying of the stone
and cutting it into building mater
ials and carving it into monuments
and mauseleums demands large
amount of power, and since high
grade bituminous coal costs 1925 in
the cities and 5000 delivered at the
quarries, the popularity of electric
ity as a source of power can well be
appreciated. This is especially so
as we generate by water about nine
months in the year under ordinary
circumstances and the power rates
are very low. In fact, the coal cost
alone at the quarries would about
equal our rate per XVIII.
Our power increase from May1 1905
however, has been very gratifying
for the load has grown from 1853 II

Lighting Company at that date with

of the Vermont Power and Lighting
Company on February l, 1907, to tbs

England manufacturing cities is in

BOYS RENT BICYCLES
AND RETURN NOT
Phoebus Dealers Report Matter Of
"A Supposed Theft to the
Police.

Snow & Western, bicycle dealers
Of Phoebus, are minus three new
bikes. while the Phoebus officers arc
searching for three young men, who
rented the bicycles for an afternoon
last Sunday from the firm.
Henry Wiley. John Loving and
another boy, whose names is not
known at this time, went to the
ticycle store Sunday and engaged
three wheels for the afternoon. The
BOYS told Mr.. Snow that they intend
&c taking a spin for the afternoon
and when they started Wiley found
that the bike assigned him was not
exactly to his liking. lie asked for
n new wheel and Mr.. Snow accomo-
dated him.
Although the boys told Mr.. Snow
that they would return before dark
Sunday, the trio was still missing
from Phoebus last night and the
firm has made complaint to the Of
flcers. 1t is expected that the young
s.ers will be arreted and brought
back to Phoebus on the charge of
petty larceny. as the bicycles are not
valued at more than $50 each.
After searching for the past two
DAYS it was said that Mr.. Snow has
discovered that at least two Of the
boys. and possibly all three of them,
have been inmates of the Virginia
reformatory and the Phoebus firm is
confident that the youngsters had al
ready disposed of the three bicycles.

HAMPTON CRABBERS MAY
PLAY NORFOLK TARS
Series of Five Games May BE Ar
ranged Between State Leaguers
and Local Team.

Unless plans now underway miscar-
nv the fans of Hampton and the
lower Peninsula will witness several
fast games between the Hampton
Crabbers and the Norfolk Virginia
State league nine.
For the past several days Manager
Clarke. of the Tars, and Manager
McAllister. of the Crabbers, have
been negotiating for series of six
games following the close OF the
State league season, which is on
September 10. II now seems more
than likely that the series can be
arranged and the agreement between
the two managers will probably be
signed TODAY or certainly by the last
Of this week.
Under the terms of the agreement
two games will be played in Hamp-
ton and three in Norfolk. Manager
Clarke is anxious 10 play the Crab
hers and Manager McAllister is equal
! lv as anxious to meet Clarke's crew
of the Mary Jane.
Manager McAllister and Manager
Powell have arranged to play the
postponed game between the Crab
bers and the North Enders on New
Park diamond on Thursday afternoon
of next week This is the game
which should have been played on
the afternoon of July Fourth and
which was postponed on account OF
, the rain.
Owing to the fact that the Fort
Monroe Arti1erymen are now in
camp the benefit game between the
Artillerymen and the Crabbers for
Pitcher William A. Simpson cannot
be played until next week. The
soldiers want to attend the game
and it was decided to defer it until
the artillerymen have been relieved
of the camp life.
Saturday the Newport News Atm
letics will come down for a game
with the Crsbbers on New Park dia-
mond. when a bitter contest is ex-
rected. Carl Walker sent Manager
McAlIis,er word yesterday that he
will he here Friday and will certainly
do the twirling Saturday afternoon.
