Extent of Electrical Business.

According to Frank w. Frueaufr of
New York, who is president Of the Ma
tional Electric Light Association. there
are now about 6.OO0 central electric light
ing stations in the United States. or this
number over 1900 of the companies en-
gagged in central-statiOn work are also
in the electrical supply business a bust
ness that twenty-five or thirty years ago
could have been enumerated in two fig
ures.
The central-station companies of the
country have an investment of $1,2J-
100000. according to Frueauff. They have
gross income Of upward of $3.50, 600 600
a year, and they develop somewhere be-
tween 100000 horsepower and $500, 900
horsepower.
There is track mileage Of electric and

The other provisions authorize the

ton to investigate the question wheth-
er any rate is unjust or unreasonable.
or unjustly discriminatory, or unduly
preferential. or prejudicial or other
WI IN violation of any of the provisions
OF the act.
another provision requires the COM
mission to establish through routes
and joint rates, and to do this upon
complaint or upon it's own initiative.
and 1t is given to the shippers to Sc
iect along these routes thus establish
ed the route which they prefer.
Section IL provides that no railroad

Credit to Central West.

The central west must be given credi,
for the first commercial incandescent
lighting distribution system" declares
President Frueauff. Appleton. Wis. is
the place. In 1882 a central station for
incandescent lighting was put in operation
in New York. but about the same time
there was small plant started at Ap-
pleton 1t was small, and could be easily
operated. and for that reason it is likely
that the Appleton plant started before the
New York plant. which was located on
Pearl street. just south Of Fulton street
Soon after these plants opened for
business there were plants established in
London. FOR exhibition purposes. and in
Santiago. Chile. and Milan. Italy.
Frank Spragne made the first serious
effort at electric railway work in this
country in 1855, when he started his
electric road at Richmond, Va That
same year the first central station was
established in Chicago. Edison had built
and experimental with little electric
was the first for commercial purposes.
Stephen ID. Field had also done some
work in connection with electric railways
prior to the Richmond road.
Dates Back to 1879.
''Elihu Thompson, Mr.. Brush OF Cleve-
land. Prof. Houston and a few others
wer.. engaged in the series arc lighting
business back in 1870. but that was the
only electric light service that this coun-
try knew anything about, although in
1873 3SdisOn's experiments with an in
candescent lighting problem were first dis
cussed in the newspapers. That talk
brought about an extraordinary fall In
the price of gas shares.
Edison made his first demonstration
at Menlo Park Of his paper carbon lamp
a year later, but not until the summer
of 1880 did these experimental lamps find
their way outside OF his laboratory. In
1881 the newspapers were arguing the
question as to whether the great inven-
tor had succeeded in subdividing the
electric light or whether he was simply
talking"

with my recommendation and that of my
predecessor the bill has been reported
favorably to the Senate, and there is
every reason to think that it will pass
that body.
FINALLY we come to the bill amending
the interstate commerce law. The bill
is pending i'm both houses. 1t has been
amended i'm the House and also i'm the
Senate, and with that freedom of touch
for which headiners and correspondents
are SO noted we have been told with
much emphasis that the administration
bill has been emasculated i'm both houses.
1 am not as familiar with its condition
i'm the House as / am with it in the Sen
ate. but l think that possibly the state
ment of the bill in the Senate will show
what is the fact, that the bill has not
been emasculated in either house and
that it contains ALMOST all of the RENE
dial features of thf original administra-
have been omitted are neither substantial
nor vital.

Coal and Oil Lands.

There are other acts. one with refer
ence to oil lands; one with reference to
water power sites, and one with reference
to coal lands. The one with reference to
coal lands provides that the surface of
coal lands shall be subject to settlement
as agricultural lands, to. the homestead
and presumption laws. but that the coal
beneath the surface shall still belong to
the government and be subject to mining
by those to whom the government NAV
lease it or In other methods part with
title to It.
"There is bill providing for tbs CLASH
fication of lands useful in preventing a
fraudulent disposition OF them.
There is a bill providing for the ex-
ploration of oil lands and fixing the rights
of explorers who discover oil. And then
there Is a bill providing for the granting
of water power sites to the states. with a
view to their disposition to private own
ers by the states. This bill is most
important one. 1t probably needs amend
ment. but the principle of the bill may
work out to a satisfactory solution.
