NET REVENUE FROM MARQUEE.
TIE ELECTRIC PLANT WAS s4s,.
1922 IN A YEAR.

Marquette, Mich, March 25.-The
annual report of the Marquette light
and power commission for the past
fiscal year shows the most gratifying
results since the municipal commission
was organized, the net revenue from
the plant being $43,322 on an operating
expense of 22,477. The profits for the
last twelve years have all gone into i'm
provements and rebuilding, until now
the real value of the plant is $685.
029. The outstanding bonds amount
to $s3,5oo.
In view Of these figures it can be
said that municipal ownership of the
electric facilities has proved a great
success in Marquette. In five years
Superintendent Retallic says, the last
Of the bonds will have been paid, and
by that time the city will have plant
valued at more than 100000, without a
cent of bonded Indebtedness. A com.
parasion made with other cities of the
upper peninsula shows that Marquette
residents get their electric ligthin., at
6 cents per kilowat, as compared with
~ cents at other places.
More money was expended on rev
construction last year than in any 9TH
er year since the beginning of opera
tions. The amount was $130,652. As a
result Of these improvements the com.
mission has complete and modern
plant. The total income for the cleo
trio service was 1899, an increase
of almost $4,000 over that of the prev.
ious year. OF this, private consumers
contributed the greater part. Ten years
ago the commission lighted 285 resi-.
dences; now the number is 1852, while
the number Of business places has in.
creased from 1876 to 437.
The commission has always aimed to
run the shop department at cost, and
the margin over the cost last year
amounted to only $1,152. Installations
Of fixtures and the wiring done are
done at small figure compared to the
charges a private corporation Wild
make.
Since 1900 the depreciation charged
to the plant has amounted to $51 ,O45.25.
The original cost of the upper dam,
now replaced by concrete, was wiped
off the books and amounted to $11,-
1000.

WOULD CHANGE PATENT LAWS
OF THE q. s.-BuLs TO TT
Feet RECENT DECISION.

Washington, D. G. March 25.-Repre.
sentative Hanna Of North Dakota yes.
terday introduced in the house two
bills expected to relieve the situation
developed by the recent decision Of
the supreme court Of the United States
which "legalized monopolies" under
the patent law.
One of the measures, amending the
pa-ent law, provides that "when a Pat.
entee disposes Of an article for which
he holds a patent, either by lease or
sale, he may do SO, provided that when
such patent or invention is vended it
shall be without restriction as to its
use with other patented or unpatented
articles.'' :.
This is designed to counterfeit the
decision of the court, which held that
when patentee either sells or leases
the article for which he holds a pat.
ent, he may impose upon the lessee or
the buyer any restriction as to what
articles may be used in connection with
the patented invention as he NAV see
fit, and depend upon the law to enforce
such restriction. Under this interpre.
tation of the law the patentee of a
sewing machine device, it was pointed
out by Chief Justice White in a dis.
senting opinion, might stipulate the
make of cloth or thread or needles to
be used on the machine and under the
law enforce the stipulation.
Representative Hanna's other bill
amends the patent laws to make it i'm
perative that when an owner of patent
right sues for infringement of those
rights, he must show that within two
years after he procures the patent up.
on his invention or discovery he mar.
keted and sold the invention.

SPLENDID PERFORMANCE
OF 1.-THE BARRIER. ,

Saskatoon Daily Star: Gone of the
best plays of its kind that has been
presented in this city by any company
for some time past" was the general
verdict passed by the members of the
large audience who were present at the
Empire theatre last night and witness
ed the presentation of Rex Beach Is
masterpiece, "The Barrier" From
the raising of the curtain for the be-
ginning of the first act until the finish,
there was not moment when atten-
ton was not riveted to the play and
players, and the applause and curtain
calls throughout the piece were fire.
quent.
There was not a weak member in the
company and not single chance was
missed to bring out the best parts of
the bill. As almost every booklover
has read "The Barrier'' it is unnec-
essary to give any outline of the play
itself. Kipling has written "There IS
never la wof God or man runs north
of fifty-three" and his statement al
most describes the atmosphere which
surrounds the play, for it is full of
life and vigor, and has vein Of hui
NOR running throughout which serves
to keep the audience in the best Of
spirits during the whole evening.
The scene is laid at trading post
on the Yukon and the plot is, to say
the least, very interesting, dealing as it
does, with heroine who is both young
and attractive in appearance. Norval
MacGregor as John Gale had the lead
ing part in the play and proved himself
at all times more than equal to the oc-
casion, for he is one of the best actors
to appear at the empire theatre for a
long time, while Lee Miller, who was
seen in the role of Captain Burrell,
George Cleveland as Poleon Dorset,
and Max Steinle as No Creek Lee, the
miner who furnished most Of the hui
NOR during the play, were also of a
high standard. Miss Grace johnson
as Necia, the young lady with the sup
posed Indian faint in her blood, around
whom the plot is centered, endeared
herself to the audience by her clever
and life-like Interpretation of the role,
as also did Matte Hyde, in the role
Of Alluna, the squaw, and the play
throughout was one of tn estrongest
and most enjoyable that has ever been
staged at the Empire theatre, and
there is no doubt that having sent the
audience away in such happy frame
o fmind last night this company will
enjoy another capacity house at their
last performance tonight.

MORE TROUBLE FOR CLERKS.
Cryptic Names for Towns Amuse the
Travelling Man But Worry the
Hotel Man

~SAAe9 AsASsAA
Hotel Man.
Hotel clerks, who are constantly re.
vising their dictionary of cities to con-
form to the usages of guests in regis
tering, have had to add two new
names to the lexicon. One is GIBBS"
which written after man 8 name on
the register, means that he is from
San Francisco. The symbol refers to
the Panama canal fair year in the
coast metropolis and San franciscan
who uses any other designation Of his
residence is considered traitor to the
best interests of his home. The other
new phrase is tMfs. TO-" which means
Memphis, Tenn.
Hotel clerks notice a growing ten
dency Of guests to abbreviate names
Of their home town as much as possible
and yet leave their signatures legible.
The have become accustomed to ed.
M" for Des Moines, ''T. R. F." for
the long name of Thief River Falls and
to "Lax' for Lacrosse. They were
resigned also to "N. Y. c." for New
York City, "Bflo" for Buffalo and
"Jaxon" for Jackson, but now that
the Baltimore guests are registering as
Convention City," the clerks are get
ting FESTIVE. They allege that the de-
mand is too much on their gray matter
to remember what all the symbols
mean.
Other familiar terms on the hotel
clerks business lexicon are: "NE,
Pa" Northeast, Pennsylvania; "Jim-
town." Jamestown; "Milw.," Milwau-
kee; "ChiI" Chicago; "sleepy T."
Sleepy Eye; est. Joe," St. Joseph;
