SERVICE FITTED TO USE
Quantity Used and Time Used, Chief
Factors In Determining Cost
to the Power Users Of
the Zone.

The following statement concerning
the rates Of electric power was issued
by the Mississippi River Power COM
pany, today:
The Mississippi River Power COM
pany in framing power rates for the
territory it serves, and for users OF
100 horse power and over, has at
tempted to avoid the confusion which
would result from complicated
schedule.
Rates for electricity. however, must
be based not only upon the sale Of SO
much quantity of current, but also
upon the number Of hours that the
customer uses the available power
allotted to him and ready for his use
when he wants it.
II a consumer has a very large in
stallation, he is in the position of
asking the power company to be al
ways ready to furnish enough power
to set in motion all his machinery.
The first figure which the company
quotes is that of monthly mainten-
|ance and investment charge OF seven
ty-f1ve cents net for each electrical
horse power of those horse powers
contracted for. That Is, if Brown has
100 horse power he will pay $75 a
month under this charge.
The next figure, in the quotation OF
rates is charge of TX cents for the
first eight thousand kilowatt hours
per month used. A kilowatt hour is
the amount of electrical energy In
1000 watts used for an hours time.
This charge is made to users. whether
they be large or small, owing to the
necessity Of providing a somewhat
higher income to cover the higher cost
Of serving the consumer who does not
use large quantities OF power, or hav-
ing large equipment which the com
pany must stand ready to serve at any
time, does not use that equipment
enough to justify low rate for this

hour is less than one half the amount
charged for the first eight thousand,
and this will constitute the bulk of
the current sold. The price of this
bulk of current will be six-tenths of
cent for each kilowatt hour per month
in excess of eight thousand kilowatt
hours.
A discount of ten per cent will be
made from the kilowatt hour charge,
provided the customer pays his bill
before the tenth of the month follow
ing the month for which the bill is
rendered.
To make this rate still more plain
to the average man, specific cases
may be worked out applying the terms
of the rates quoted above.
For instance, Robinson has a fac
tory which has in it, machinery re-
quiring 200 horse power at any one
time. And the amount of energy re-
|quired must not be confused with
horse power capacity of mans ma
chinery. Not the machinery, but the
use Of it. is important. Robinson

ty-five per cent load factor. Each
horse power equals approximately
Ithree-fourths of kilowatt SO that il
there are 200 horse power there are
about $50 kilowatts. II the average
use is twenty-five per cent of the day,
or an average OF six hours per day,
for all of these $50 kilowatts. and
there are twenty-six working days in
month, there will be 1876 hours use
Of $50 kilowatts. This would mean
that Robinson would use 23,400 kilo-
watt hours.
/ He would be charged seventy-five
cents for each horse power he re-
CURED, or $3.50 for 200 horse powers.
For eight thousand kilowatt hours he
would be charged IL cents or $3.50
more and for the 15,400 kilowatt
bours in excess of the eight thousand
kilowatt hours he would be charged
six-tenths of cent each, or s92, max.
ing total of 1862.
Now, neglecting the ten per cent
discount, if Robinson wishes to know
/ his average cost per kilowatt hour he
may divide this sum by the number OF
kilowatt hours. in which case he will
find that each kilowatt hour costs him
about one and half cents.

reputed TO be a millionaire, and deacon
of the st. Paul Methodist Episcopal
Church. Mr.. Mason and his sons, Harry

and costs by Magistrate Jagmetty.
There were six counts at 800 each;
two against Mason, three against
George. who admitted shooting the deer
ont of season, and one against Harry.
only about ten pounds were eaten by
the three, Mason said. The rest was
"given to the sick,' except the half
