COST OF CURRENT.

There is always great interest in the
actual cost Of producing electric cur.
rent, and it is not always easy to Oh.
tain statistics on the subject which
r liable. Systems Of Bookkeeping
differ, and certain items Of cost are
charged differently in different plants.
Statistics obtained from municipal
plants are especially unreliable, for
the reason that there are in existence
many small plants operated by mu-
inequalities in which there Is no even
an approach to accurate accounting.
The city of Pasadena, Cal, installed
a municipal plant in 1907. and this
plant has been very successful, and
from the summary of the annual re.
port which has been sent out, the ac-
counting system there appears to be
IL very complete one, and the figures
from 1t may accordingly be assumed
to be reliable. The inventory gives
construction cost of plant, deprecia-
ton. and SO forth, and takes account
of what appears to he all possible
items Of cost. According to this re.
port the cost Of electricity per kilo-
watt hour is as follows: Cost of nam
u~facturing 0.316 cents; Of distribution,
0.s26 cents: OF interest. o.5l6 cents;
Of depreciation. OSLO cents: total,
2.s68 cents . This is on the basis of
current generated. On the basis Of
current sold the cost is stated to be
S.666 cents ner kiIouvut@
The article from which these figures
are taken does o say what power
10 used at this plant. but our impress.
! Is that the current is generated
by water power, which is abundant
and cheap all along the Pacific coast.

Ruth smoothed back the grayins

It was inevitable that SO much love-
illness as was Ruth.s should be sought
by all the youth of Westmore. Ruth
had a double circle of admirers from
the best families. but attention in no
wise turned her head. She took hon.
age as a bee takes honey-thrived on

theless. She enjoyed her beaus. her
girl friends, her home. her study, her
good times. She not only reached for
joy but grasped it. She got a great
deal out of everything. So she sang
and danced her way up to twenty
years. Then one day she said: lie.

She's going to be married. I'm to be
her maid of honor. And she's just my

great romance. the tremendous ad-

So it was Bob McLeod-big. red
