CURRENT COMMENT
Sources of Current for Lighting Plants.

The table giving figures concerning the
municipal plants Of Massachusetts shows
that OF the 35 plants IL purchase their
current from other plants, Is use steam
alone for generating it, two use both
steam and water, and one uses fuel oil.
The practice of purchasing current from
large generating plants is increasing, and
is undoubtedly wise economy in many
cases, especially OF small plants, or Of
those which have no water power avail
able while the current purchased is gen
Grated by such cheap power. Any bus
mess man can readily appreciate that
in many cases to fail to do SO would be
foolishly uneconomical
1t has frequently been offered, how
ever, as proof of the failure of municipal
ownership that certain plants have
ceased generating their own power and
have purchased from large producers. As
well to say that a blacksmith is q fail
ure who buys horseshoes ready made in
stead OF making them from the bar, as
his grandfather did. II is more probable
that such move was the most economi-
cal one possible, and creditable rather
than otherwise TO the municipal officials.
Aside from this argument is the fact
that in the same state p private light
ing companies purchase current from
other companies. In addition, 204 towns
are served by as private companies, in
most cases a single plant generating the
current for all the places served by
that company. No stronger argument
is needed TO prove the true economy of
distributing the current from one plant
to several municipalities. II would be
foolish to permit local pride or other
equally unimportant reasons to interfere
with the exercise of such economy.
OF the plants generating their own
current, rs per cent of the private ones
and 8 per cent of the municipal ones use

A Good Record, This.
Big Sum Paid TO State BY
REGISTER of Wills, Thomas.

Samuel D. Thomas, Register of Wills
for Frederick County, has returned to
to the Comptroller, excess fees of office
the sum of $l065. IA rather unusual
performance for the Register of Wills
Office.
The fact is Mr.. Thomas has done a
number of unusual things. During his
incumbency he has returned into the
County Treasury the sum of $2542. O6 on
account of levies made by the county
commissioners for an Index Clerk under
an old local law passed some years ago.
Mr.. Thomas is the first Register of Wills
since the term of DR.. James K. Waters
of Thurmont, who has paid anything to
the county or state. 1t had been clearly
demonstrated by DR.. Waters and again
by Mr.. Thomas, that the Register of
Wills office should not receive any ap-
preparation from the county. Although
there was an attempt made to have the
law abolished by the last Legislature,
the Bill passed the Senate, but the Fred
erick county delegates killed it in the
House.
Mr.. Thomas will likely be candidate
to succeed himself as Register. Whether
he will receive the consid Grafton due him
as an official who has performed his du-
ties faithfully remains to be seen. The
public does not always recognize or re-
ward faithfulness in Office by public off.

Burglar Enters Store.
Object of His Visit Evidently
Was Money. Not Toys.

Last Saturday night between the hour
of midnight and daylight Sunday morn
ing, Wisotzkey Bros. confectionery store
located in the Osler Building corner OF
Church and w. Main streets, this place
was broken into by some person or per-
sons, entrance being made through a
window in an alley between the confec-
tionery and bowling alley building.
The fact was not discovered until Mr.
Emory Wisotzkey went to the store Sun
day morning. The intruder first broke "A
small pane of glass from the window and
then removed one of the nails which was
driven in the frame above the lower sash,
the other being too tight to move. A
lever Of some kind was then used to fore
the window up sufficient for person to
crawl through.
One of the money drawers was broken
from the counter and was found on the
floor, the other drawer having been open
ed and all money, except lead quarter,
removed.
Very little money had been left in the
drawers, a Columbian half dollar, lot
of three cent coins and lot of Lincoln
pennies, which were being kept as relics
being all the booty secured.
A number of watches, ring and other
jewslry hung close to where the money
drawers were located. but none of these
articles we're disturbed. Nothing in the
store showed that it had been tempered
with.
1t was reported that the burglar was
tracked in the snow, but as there was no
snow on the gIound, there could not be
any track in the snow.
Money, not toys and candy, seems to
have induced the person or persons to
enter the store.

FOREST NOTES.

White pine and yellow pine are the
woods most used for boxes, and each
contributes more than billion feet
to the box industry annually.
The annual cut of British Column
bia timber is approximately = billion
feet. There are 42O mills and $50
logging camps in the province, en-
ploying about 1000 men.
The Boise national forest in Idaho
had 80 fires during the past summer,
yet IS were held down to less than
10 acres, and Of these Is were less
than one quarter of an acre. The
supervisor says this success was due
to a look out tower, and to efficient
telephone and Photograph service.
Because of the war, English man
ufarturers and consumers of wood
pulp have caused considerable UNI
easiness. Production is at stand
still in the countries at war, and in
Norway and Sweden, principal sources
of supply, mills have been greatly
hampcred because of lack of coal
and of chemicals. England has prac
tically no domestic sources of pulp.
In northern Idaho and Montana,
which had many fires during the past
summer, 80 per cent of the fires on
national forests were caused by rail
roads, rs per cent by lightning, and
10 per cent by campers. The remain
der were due to brush burning and
other miscellaneous or unknown
causes.
A mountain lion recently killed in
the Grand Canyon game preserve,
which adjoins the Tusayan national
forest, measured ten feet from nose
to tail. Mountain lions and other
beasts of prey, such as wolves, wild
cats, and coyotes, are killed by forest
officers and game wardens because
they are menace to stock and to
game animals.

overcame. Success in Canada is made
up OF two things, natural resources
