Think of this: According To Mr.

enormous sum Of s2o2 .2G7.40 per year.

private citizen for lighting purposes
pays ii cents per killwatt hour. Ard
more today consumes about 1000 xii
uwatts Now lets see what we are
paying for this at these rates. Re.
membcring that electricity is sold by
the hlowatt hour, and that there are
u times 3G5 CS,7GOD hours in a year,
We find that 1000 kilowatts is the
equivalent OF 1000 times S,7G0, which
is S.7G0,O0O kilowatt hours; and at
the respective prices, We have the fol.
lowing enormous figures, providing

S,760,o00 kilowatt hours a .O6 per

or course, only part of this O00
hlCwatts is consumed at any one of
the above prices, the remainder be
ing consumed, partly AZ one price and
partly at the other. But suppose it was
consumed AZ the lowest price. only
see what an enormous amount it
would bring in annually. II must also
be recorded that electricity is not con.
sumed for the full - hours.
SUPPOSE the city would take over
this water power in the canyon, and
produced the amount Of power he
sworc under oath could be produced.
And suppose further the city should
sell the power, not al IA, .06 or .025
per kilowatt hour. but at the cheap
rate of only .0l per hlowatt hour,
what would be the result? In the first
place the city would save to the peo
pie the enormous profits going into
the hands OF private corporations. In
/ The second place, the people would
get their electricity so much cheaper
than AZ present. that all could use Il
for lighting ond power purposes But
hlowatt hour is much cheaper than

NEW YORK, June 27.-Warfare be-
tween the Four Brothers and the On

Eight or ten Chinese bombarded each
other from both sides of Pell street
and Sing Gen, noncombatant. was
caught between the fire of the gun
men OF the On Leong Tong and the
Four Brothers and was shot through
the head. He will die. Gin Ching OF
the Four Brothers was shot in the
abdomen and probably fatally wound
ed, while Chu Flu, also of the Four
Brothers, got bullet through him. His
wound is not serious.
The fight, so far as the police could
learn, was started by the On Leong
Tong men. Tom Lees fraternity of
gamblers had been waiting with the
Four Brothers for the killing of Chung
Fook, April 10. They could hardly have
picked better time. The Four Broth.
