Use of Electricity in Norway.

Consul Gen. Charles A. Holder,
Christiania: Probably more small
towns and hamlets in Norway use
electricity than in any other country,
owing to the abundance of water pow
er. In the country districts not only
are there plants for each collection Of
five or six houses, but in many cases
even small farms have their own gen.
Grating plants,
In Christiania the electric plant,
Kristionia Elektricitetsverk, is owned
and managed by the city. The plant
was built in 1891 by a German firm
and cost $2,144,0 00, of which $780,
600 has already been paid off from an
nual profits.
All current consumed in Christiania
is sent out from the city plant, but
only about one-third of 1t is generated
there. The city purchases $500 kilo-
watts of alternating current from the
Kykkelsrud company. which generates
electricity from the waterfalls of Kyk-
kelsrud, forty miles from Christiania;
1850 kilowatts of alternating current
are obtained from the city's plant at
The Hammer waterfall, in the Marid-
alsvand or Maridals like district. sew
en- miles from here; and about 1000
kilowatts are generated at the city
plant by steam.

automatic cut-out furnished by the
company, blinking" the current. or
turning it off and on. until the amount
used is reduced by turning off some
lamps. The total current used in this
same year, 1911. was about 10. 900 kill
owatts, Of which 1859 was direct cur

the latter, 1896 kilowatts were fur
nished by the street car companies.
notwithstanding the large profit
made by the city, current is furnished
consumers at very low prices. For
lighting purposes the rates, per kiIo-
watt hour, during the last ten years.
have been as follows; 1902 and 1903.
1874 cents; 1904. 1912 cents; 1905 to
1910. 8.04 cents; 1911, 6.97 cents. For
technical purposes the rate has always
been the present one, $50 cents per
kilowatt hour. On contracts the prices
are even lower. Thus, the lighting
rate is 1886 per 100 watts per year
and rates for technical uses are $24.I2
per horsepower up to 10, and $3.50
per horsepower if more than Is horse
power is used.

MUST ACT VERY soon
Representatives of the Stewart Iron
Co. Will Arrive Tomorrow and
Tear Down the Jail Cells.

If the city decides that it wants the
old cage of cells that were used in
the old county jail it must act quick
ly, as the men from the Stewart Iron
Co. of Cincinnati which has the con-
tract for putting in the new cells win
be here tomorrow or next day to tear
down the cells and take them apart
for shipping away. City Engineer
Anders examined the cells this morn
ing and will likely make his report
to a special meeting of the council
which may be called by Mayor Sweet.
Those who have looked into the mat
ter believed that the cells can be
moved bodily to the vacant space
north of the city building and con-
tractors have stated that they can
move them all in one days time.

There was a reorganization of the
Fargo park commission last evening
at the meeting that was held, this be-

election of j. P. Hardy as a member
OF the board. The following officers
We're chosen:
Prestdent-W. P. Porterheld.

CIerk-W. j. Clapp.
On account of other expenses hat

out this will likely be done at some
future time.
II was decided to at once omplet
the Island park roadway and at the
same time to plan for the paving of
seventh street south, to connect with
the same. This Is the street that for
a year or two has been filled I'D by
the street commissioner and his men
ana 1t Is the roadway that runs west
OF the park, and in time will be one
or the prettiest streets in the entire
CITY, overlooking as 1t does the park.
1t was also decided to at once finish
the completion Of the tennis court ON
Island park, and when this has been
lone Fargo will lave the finest court in
S,NS StatS ana II is expected
that there will be some great tourna-
ments take place there. 1t is the in
tentlon OF the board to draft rules and
regulations for the court. so that all
people may have access to it.
bath houses are by no means un-
certain, for the board spent consid-
cradle time at the meeting in making
for the erection of some BATH
houses near the river at the site of
the old water works station. 1t was
also decided to place the sidewalks
near that point in first class condi-
ton and this will be done in the i'm
mediate future.
1t was also decided to begin the
work of placing the recently ACQUIRED
property out in the Fifth ward on
thirteenth street north in frst-cIass
condition for the children's pIav
grounds and this will be ready for
the youngsters long before the sum-
mer Is over.
On account of the fact that the
auditorium Is to be erected near the
entrance OF the park 1t has been de-
clded not to undertake the work of
beautifying the street at that point.
II Will be remembered that the city
council at a meeting held last fail

her a Democrat, all the Patricks
being Democrat, as 1t will be re-

About two O'Clock Sunday
morning a freight train pulled
into this town apparently loaded
with drunken boys whose shouts
awoke many citizens of the town.
Several arrests followed later in
the day. The liquor came from
Winchester and was bought by
boys way under twenty.one
years, whose youth could have
easily been detected by the sa-
loon keepers by their voice and
looks. 1t was sickening to hear
the bitter oaths sworn by these
little boys, mad with drunken
ness. 1t was a disgrace to the
railroad for carrying the boys
and hpuor as well as to the I'M
scrupulous Winchester saloon
lists. The whole thing should be
punished to the extent of the
law.
