Just as water pressure Is measured
In pounds. The wattmcter, however,
takes account of both pressure and
quantity; that +, 1t multiplics the
volts by the amperes and gievs the
results in watts. Volts multiplied by
amperes give watts, just as pounds

we assume that the work was done
in a certain time-that is, SO much
work done in second, or minute,
or hour. The dynamo, or "gener-
ator," furnishes certain qquantity
of energy in kilowatts, but this
amount Of energy must be used for
one hour before one kilowatt-houI
can be charged. Two kilowatts fol-
half an hour would amount to the
same thing. Thus 1t is necessary not
only to state the rate Of work in
kilowatts, but also to state the time
in hours, hence he bill states that the
cost has been so much for such and
such kilowatt-hours-that is, SC
many kilowatts furnished light OF
power for SO many hours. For ex-
ample, 10000 watts energy supplied
for five hours would amount to So.
900 watt-hours of fifty kilowatt.

The ordinary sirteen candle-powel
lamp consumes energy at the rate Of
about fifty-five watts, since the pres.
sure exerted by the generator Is
about 10 volts, and each lamp al.

through it. This is three and one.
half watts to candle-power. Mazda
lamps use about one and one-hall
watts to a candle-power. One hund.

TWO HUNDRED NEW TOWNS IN
IDAHO
Cincinnati Man Wants 200 Tracts of
10000 Acres Each to Populate

If the scheme of William H. Sloan
is worked out to conclusion, Idaho
will have 200. new towns and 1,00O,-
900 new inhabitants in these towns
before the end of four years.
Sloan lives at 81 East Third street,
Cincinnati, and writes to Governor
Hawley asking information regarding
the land in this state. He wants 200
tracts of choice land, each of 10000
acres, and every tract 20 miles from
the nearest other tract. His scheme
is to bring the overflow population
of Europe, Canada and the United
States to Idaho, and says that he
has just completed the organization
of the United States immigration
and Steamship Co.." which will have
charge of the work. 1t Is the plan
of the company to operate its own
ships of from 5000 to 10000 tons
each.
From the fact that Mr.. Sloan wants
"Choice bottom lands" and expects
to get these at from 50 to SIS an acre,
it is suspected by the governor that
Mr.. Sloan, is not as thoroughly in
formed on conditions in Idaho as he
might be.
Prices Quite Low
The communication to the govern
or follows: II have just completed
the organization of The United States
immigration and Steamship Co., to
catch and handle and locate the over
flow population of Europe, Canada,
and the United States, amounting to
about 100000 persons per yea, on
farms and in cities of our own build
ing.
1--WE will run our own ships $4,000
to 10000 tons) bringing manufact-
urers, mechanics, merchants, farmers,
scholars, all of the best class, charg-
ing only $40 in steerage and $25 in
cabin.
IF you and your legislature will
favor a proposition like this-Idaho
to buy or lease 200 tracts of choice
lands, each of 10000 acres, 20 miles
apart, 100000 acres in total, on 10
years time, with privilege of pur-
chase, we will proceed to build 200
cities, each of 5000 persons, 1,000,-
900 in all, and will bring enough fac
IOIltS anu OIlOi luuuotl W ouppoit
these cities and within the 10 years
we will buy and pay for every acre
of these lands as follows. 100000
acres at So; 100000 at So; 100000
at 81 and 500, 900 at IS per acre.
ut is likely that we can pay every
cent of it within four years, but we
want the margin for safety.
Never Mind Railroads
at is not necessary to pay any
high prices for lands or railroads
go out six, eight or ten mile and let
the railroad build to them. They will
do So You can find millions of acres
of government lands at $1.25 per
acre in most of your counties and
our building cities will bring the rail-
road to reach them. We must ask
for level and rich valley lands. The
addition of 100000 people will so
increase your taxation receipts as to
pay you 20 times for the outlay 1t
will cost you to accomplish this un-
dertaking, and at the prices we agree
to pay there is margin of profit in
it for Idaho.
Yours truly,
(Signed) WILLIAM H. SLOAN"

A wo horsepower motor drives the
washing machine. Another motor Of
the same pattern. rated at one-half
horsepower, whirls the centrifugal
dryer. The mangle is operated by
a one-half horsepower motor and the
mangle drum is heated by electricity.
General Electric flatirons are used in
ironing the finer pieces of laundry.
Besides the blooded cattle on the
Ryna plantation there are nearly two
hundred thoroughbred horses To
supply all these animals with grain
feed small -four mill is maintained
with capacity of fifty barrels of
flour a day. A large electric motor
supplies the power and the hulls and
bran used are for stock feed.
Electricity plays no insignificant
part in adding to the comfort of
those who enjoy the hospitality of
the Ryan homestead. The lighing
current for the main residence is fur
nished by a storage battery located
in which is charged from the main
power plant. Every room in the
large mansion is provided with an
abundance of electric light and the
current is also extensively used about
the building for heating and power
purposes. There are electric dish
washers in the kitchen, electric heat
ers in all the chambers and electric
cooking devices for special service.
In order that the electric service
need not cease, even if the main
power plant should meet with some
unlooked-for accident, an auxiliary
plant has been installed about three
hundred yards from the main power
station which has been arranged for
parallel operation with the main
plant. In this auxiliary power-house
is located a fifty horsepower gas
producing plant similar in operation
to the one in the main power-house.
A forty-five horsepower three cylin-
der Nash engine is belted to thirty
seven and one-half alternating cur
rent General Electric generator. This
plant, though somewhat smaller, is
operated nearly the same as the
main plant and is held in readiness
to be instantly started up in case of
an emergency.
A mile away is still another gas
producing plant, where a thirty-seven
horsepower gas engine is direct con-
nected to a powerful centrifugal
pump which forces water into a
large reservoir which has a capacity
of 365,00O gallons This reservoir
is located on hill so that the water
system for the entire plant is oper-
ated by gravity, giving an abundant
supply of water as we'll as ample
fire protection.
This electrical plant. has been in
successful operation for nearly a
year and the foreman of Mr.. Ryans
plantation speaks in the warmest
terms of its convenience, fexibility
and safety. The apparatus was in
stalled by Westerberg & Williams of
New York City, and the electrical
equipment is almost entirely General
Electric apparatus. Already plans
are under way for extensive improve
ments of the electrical apparatus and
ultimately electricity will be employ
ed wherever power is required about
the plantation.

EIGHT BRAVES KILLED
AND FOUR ARE PRISONERS
Murderous Band Is Trailed for Three
Weeks by Posse After Four Veal
thy StOckmen Were Murdered
One Officer Is Killed and One
Squaw and Two Children.

Reno, New, Feb. 27.-Reports have
just been received here of a battle
near Elko, Nevada, between a posse
and a band of Indians who killed the
four stockmen in North Tasoe coun-
ty nearly a month ago. 1t is said
eight Indians were killed and four
captured, while Deputy Sheriff Jack
Herile was killed. The posse has
been trailing the Indians nearly three
weeks.
As soon as they sighted the police
the Indians opened fire, seeking
cover behind trees and boulders. For
more than three hours they fought
before the whites charged and ended
all. There is no doubt but that the
Indians are the ones who killed the
siockmen, as property belonging to
the victims was found among them
The battle took place at Kelly's
ranch, forty miles west of Tuscarora
liz the fight two squaws and two chill
dren were accidentally killed.
Jack Herile was the only member
Of the state police killed. Sheriff
Farrell headed the posse which has
been trailing them hundreds of miles

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 27.-The
state and navy department must re-

crets were revealed to the Argentine
republic as an inducement to place
the contracts for the construction OF
two battleships with American con-
Germs. This afternoon La Follette's
resolution to this effect passed the
senate by vote of "A to 2S.
After a debate the original resolu-
ton was amended to read: "Unless

The resolution demanded specific in
formation as to whether battlesnip

severe cold which numbed them

When the conflagration was sub

found Mrs. Loves purse. A number
of gold and silver coins, the buunt
remnants of several greenbacks ana
checks and her gold watch was found
in 1t. The pension papers and dis
charge from the army belonging to
Mr.. Love are thought to have persisted
and the old veteran was almost fran

BOARDING HOUSE DESTROYED
BY FIRE THIS MORNING

Almost completely destroying the
Love boarding and lodging house on
Johnson street between Alta and
Court, a fierce fire broke out about
10 o'clock this morning and ragged
for an hour, threatening buildings on
either side and to the rear, before
the firemen could get it under con-
troll. None of the furniture or cloth
ing, except that on the backs OF the
occupants, was saved from the fiaaes
and the twenty men who had rooms
there lost almost all of their belong
ings. Three thousand dollars insur-
ance was carried on the house and
one thousand on the furniture.
No one knows the origin of the fire.
Mrs. w. G. Love, who has owned and
conducted the house for the past -
years. was sitting in the downstairs
when the fire, which had evidently
started in the second story, dropped
through, giving her the first warning,
and she had barely time to save her
self. The building was one of the
Oldest in the city and the flames
spread rapidly through the dry tim
bers. An attempt was made to
sound general alarm, but the cold
snap last night had frozen the big
bell and it was some tine before the
firemen could be notified of the de-

Barber will write all congressman
proposing that the government take
over the railroads issuing three per
cent bonds for all railroad securities.
He advocates the consolidation of all
railroads into one system with a cap
italization of them at the present
value, thus giving the stockholders
and bond holders justice. Then he
would issue government bonds to pay
for the lines in popular denominations
so that everyone would have a chance
