Resources.

Washington, May 17.--Growing inter-
est rs manifested in the utilization Of
water power as a means of obtaining;
cheap electricity in the United States.
According to information compiled by
the Department of Commerce and
Labor, electricity generated by private
concerns in the United States is fifty
per cent higher than the cost of the
same material abroad. 1t is also stated
that the, manufacture of electricity in
the United states has not followed
the cheapest manner of providing cleo
tricity.
From document procured from the
United states Senate, the information is
contained that nearly all foreign coun-
tries have developed water power as n
means Of procuring electricity to a
marked degree of perfection. In France
Germany, Austria, England and other
foreign countries, private concerns are
given eiiltlS OF franchise unucf SpNclh-
ment control and regulation, producing
electricity at minimum cost.
Warcr power developments in this
country are of two classes. Those CON
trolled and operated by the State and
those controlled and operated by private
interests. OF the power increase for the
year 1000 horse power was made avail
able by plants privately owned and 1900
by the Trollhattan plant, owned by the
State.
The private activities of Sweden,
which holds the European record for
water power with an aggregate of GO, 100
horse power, found their field chiefly
in Southern and Central Sweden. The
height Of the falls utilized varied from
z feet 20 2is feet. but they were as a
rule less than 49.2i feet In height. So
Tar as Is known. the dams were in all

ously estimated at from two to nine
100000. The unfortunate feature is
that so large a proportion of this I'M
developed natural wealth is located in
the north, and in parts of the country
where it is difficult to utilize 1t TO
advantage. With the improvement in
transmission methods. however. this
obstacle may in time become less i'm
portant.
In addition to its general uses for
operating machinery and street cars and
for lighting, electricity is used in Swe-
den in rolling mills, mine HOSTS, mine
drills, magnetic ore separators, the cleo
tro-chemical industries and the smelt-
ing of steel. Lately it has also been
used for the reduction of ore to pig iron.
The large quantitie savailable have led to
its use for the operation of agricultural
it is proposed now to equalize the ,con-
sumption throughout the twentylfour
hours in cities by selling power at Very
low rates during the hours when the
load is low, so that it may be intro
duced into the household for heating and
cooking, and other domestic purposes for
which under ordinary rates. it is too ex-
pensive for general use. The transmits
sion of power from Trollhattan has been
proposed and is still under considera-
ton.
II is pointed out that Sweden is one of
the few countries in Europe that has just
awakened to the great possibilities Of her
natural resources in this respect ana that
consequently the rapid growth of her
industries, created through the influence
of her water power, has been the most
remarkable in the world.

very little Improvement has started in
comparison TO the great number of sites

claimed has retarded the natural de-
velopment of the West, making both
electricity and irrigation a very costly
commodity.

TNHE object of his suit is to procure q
l. divorce vinculo matrimonii by the
complainant from the defendant
This bill states in substance; That
the plaintiff is a resident of Prince
Georges County, State of Maryland
and has been for more than two wears
last past; that the defendant resides
near Houston in the State of Texas:
that the plaintiff was married to the

Ohio, by the Rev. Charles N. Church;
that ever since their marriage the
plaintiffs conduct towards the defen-
dant has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, but that the
defendant has been guilty of adultery be-
tween the dates of June, 1911, and the
filing of the bill; that the plaintiff has
not lived or co-habited with the defen-
dant since he discovered the said
adulteries; that as a further ground for

not receive from the levy of each year,
as the taxes are not placed in TIE hand
of the treasurer until May of each year
and not collected until the latter part
of June or the first of July of said year
There was also law on the books pro
hbiting them from contracting any
debts unless they had the money in
hand to pay the same, and you will.
therefore, see that if this cash surplus
money had not been on hand they would
have been in a very crippled condition
and unable to carry out the provisions
of the laws under which they were re-
quired to act. AS an illustration of the
wisdom of the county commissioners in
reimbursing this cash money and hav-
ing cash in hand to meet the require
ments of the laws, will cito the fol-
lowing: The late treasurer, G. A. M.
Wells, goes out of office on April LIST,
1912, and settles with the county COM
missoners. The new treasurer, K. }.
Swami, comes into Office. April court
is here and the law requires the jurors,
bailiffs and witnesses attending said
court to be paid in cash. Mr.. Swami,
treasurer, has no cash on hand, as the
taxes of 1912 are not placed in his
hands for collection until May l, 1917,
and he does not collect any taxes until
the month of June, 1912. he is, there
fore, compelled to ask the county com
missioners to advance him the neces-
sary money to pay the said jurors,
bailiffs and witnesses at April term,
1912, and which they will do out OF
their cash surplus on hand. Most of the
county commissioners of the State
carry what they term contingent or
cash surplus fund to meet any emer-
gency which may arise and require i'm
mediate cash, as they are not authorized
by law to borrow money except by act OF
the Legislature. The four surviving
county commissioners of 1888 and 1889
namely: Edward Phelps. John Snowden,
R. J. Swami and DR.. John l.. Warning
will corroborate my statements as re-
CARDS the sale of the bonds of 1888 and
the expenditure of the money derived
from same during said years of 1888 and
1889, and the Data as regards the bond
money of 1892 is taken from the rec
ords of the county commissioners now
on file in their Office. The items for
which the bond money was used and
levied to reimburse are set out specific
ally each year in the annual statement
of the county commissioners as pub
lished. VIM. Berry and Charles B.

PARCELS POST AND LIVING COST

Arguments for the parcels post
generally center on the benefits
accrueing through improved de-
livery service from the town to
the country, when, as a matter
of fact, equally as great, if not
far greater, advantages are posi-
BILE in the other direction, from
the country to the city. Presi-
dent Taft has said that the whole
subject of the high cost of living
is bound UP in parcels-post
legislation. :" The point is elab
Grated by Congressman David
]. Lewis, of Maryland, in a
speech on the floor of the House.
His proposition is for the gov
eminent to take over express
companies, merge their service
into the Postal Department, thus
articulating the farm with the
household in town. He contends
that by this process the urban
householder's living expenses
wouldbe reduced 40 per cent,
and the producers income in
creased for much that now goes
to pay for the cost of marketing
and selling his produce would be
saved.
'The real problem to deal
with, -. said B. F. Yoakum, chair
man of the St. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad, in discussing
this subject, lis not the high
cost of living. but the cost of
selling" And he goes on to
show that it cost $1,000, 900, 900

products netted the farmer just

CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY.

When Benjamin Harrison was
indicted into Office, the crowd
which gathered to honor him was
"drenched to the shin by cold
rain. . Grover Cleveland's Sec
ond Inauguration took place in
alternate snow and rain that was
followed by a harvest of
pneumonia. A cold, driving
rain swept Pennsylvania avenue
at the second Inauguration of
Mckinley, and a small crowd
stood under umbrellas to hear
his inaugural address. Roosevelt
had fair weather. Roosevelt
luck" says the Baltimore Sun.
Not one of the thousands who
went to Washington. or tried to
get there, will ever forget the
day Taft took Office. The Wealth
Bureau predicted fair weather,
but a bareback" brought one
of the worst snow and sleet
storms on record. Railways were
blocked, trains left stranded,
wires and poles swept down and
Washington for a time was cut
off from communication with the
outside world. Some of the
troops never did arrive; others
landed the next day, and the
President gave a second reveiw
for them. Thousands, penned
up in the city and held on trains,
suffered. Hundreds of cases of
grip and pneumonia followed.
Monday, through not so severe
as some March 4 days, recalls
what we must expect at this
time of year and emphasizes
afresh the necessity for a change
in the date of Inauguration.
In view of all this, it is difficult
to see how Congress fails to pass
the bill changing Inauguration
Day to some time when we are
certain of better weather. The
bill has been pending for nearly
three years. Another Inaugural
ton is approaching. Taft's ad-
ministration has been as stormy
as the day that ushered it
in. Democrats desire fair wealth
er when they gather in Washing
ton next year to inaugurate the
first Democratic President since
Grover Cleveland. Congress
should abandon March 4, with it's
sleet, snow and '''farebacks, ;"
and give us a beautiful spring
day when the worst rain is only
an April shower, when the skies
are usually clear and nature
smiles with approval upon the
new Chief Executive.
