PEOPLE
 ENTHUSIASTIC
Atlin, B. C., Aug. 7th, 1915

Atlin, B. C., Aug. 7th, 1915
 There was a very enthusiastic meeting in Atlin last night for the purpose of expressing the sentiment of tie people on tn subject of the great war. The new autos brought down quite a few from Discovery, although there was hardly any from the placer creeks.
 A resolution was passed to con tinue the war until Prussian mill tarism was forever crushed with men and money-as long as we have any-or words to that effect.
 Then a young man from Dis covery, who is interested in mines, remarke,l that talk was cheap, but 1t took money to buy practical things these times and said that few ln Discovery had suggested buy ing one of those high speed, high power, unlimited, spiteful creations, called Quickfirers as a donation to B. c. boys at the front. They had raised $45O there by subscription before leaving for Atlin and said they thought 1t might be good thing to send a QuickfiTer and the .resolutions to the proper authori- ties to show that we mean business.
 It was the sentiment of the meeting that the gun should go to some B. c. regiment-though Lyme Hodge thought it should go where it was most needed-which brought the remark that Russia was sup posed to be rather short on guns at this time. Russia has our sym pathy, but some B. c. company will get tne gun.
 A Haper was then drawn up and those present were asked to sign for whatever amount they felt dis posed to give. In about fifteen minutes there was about $500 more added to the gun fund.
 As only the few who happend to be Iresent had the opportunity to give and the amount needed for one gun was already raised, it is conceded that there will be a sec ond gun fund, in order to give the men on the various creeks a chance to subscribe, who, for various req sons could not be present.
 If the whole of Canada does as well as the few men are doing here per capita, those who furnish the ammunition will have no time for rcllirg cigarettes.
 In less than twenty four hours from the time machine gun was frs mentioned, there was oyer $1,20O raised and all off the out side precincts (creeks) to hear from.
 It was a most enthusiastic meet ing and the Patriotic Spirit was the Culy pne in evidence. A vote of thanks was given the Discovery del egation, the National Anthem was sung, and the meeting adjourned in high spirits.
 Yesterday morning nine Slayon- fans left Atlin for the front. They wish to shake hands with the . kaiser" and hand-cuff him.
 Yours truly,

Duluth Edison Electric company,
according to a recent statement
OF the president in the daily pa
pers, has 1928 per cent loss Of
current in operation, whereas the
proposed new municipal plant,
owing to its more mc1ern con-
struction, would hav&a loss of
not to exceed II per cent. Hence
the cost of operation will be the
minimum.
1t is proposed to use not to ex-
ceed the sum Of $4,000, which
the water and light department
has on hand, for the construction
OF the first unit, thus rendering
bond issue or any increased
taxation unnecessary. The amo,int
authorized to be spent in the con-
struction Of the first unit it $685.
$4,000, but as a matter Of fact
owing to the present low prices
OF copper wire, poles, etc., a re-
cent estimate by the engineers Of
the water and light department
show that the unit can be built
for not to exceed $72,OOO.O0, if
the city decides to do so at the
present time.
1t is because the original cost,
the maintenance and depreciation
charges, and the cost of operation,
are all at the lowest possible
minimum under the Unit Plant
System, that it's advocates believe
it is the best thing for the people

of the three million capitalization of
the Duluth Edison company is the
horse-our horse.
The president of the company, and
his attorney too, say there is not
dollar of water in the stock, but it
looks as if there was twenty-one
hundred thousand dollar horse in it.
That twenty-one hundred thousand
dollar horse belongs to the people
has belonged to them for several
years, and the president of the COM
pany has been able to fool the people,
SO that they have let him keep our
horse for nothing for about ten years
after the date he said he would re-
turn him to us. If the president of
the company can cajole the people
into paying him twenty-one hundred
Thousand. dollars for their own horse,
which they loaned him for nothing,
and which he was legally bound to
return to them without compensation
many years ago, that will be horse
on Jus. For while the jolly president
Will be enjoying his joke, he will also
be collecting from us the dividends
on the twenty-one hundred thousand.
The people of course can take the
horse-their horseback whenever
they want to. And then they can
hitch him up to the old wagon, or
they can buy a new up-to-date wagon
and hitch him to that. OF course the
old wagon is considerably dilapidated,
and has been doctored up considerab-
ly by heelers, and the wheels run a
little harder than they would on a
| modern ball-bearing axle. But the
old wheels have been kept we'll

on SO slyly by the use of newspapers

er's hands) that the people may be
so short-sighted that they haven't
noticed that the grease was being
used at all And so they may prefer
the old wagon, although it will cost
more to buy and to run, than a brand
new one that will cost less to buy and
less to run, because it will be up-to-
date and will need no grease. :
But If the people should say they
don't want to buy a new wagon and
think they want to buy the old wagon,
a day of settlement will come and
then the court will have to say what
the old wagon Is worth. Suppose the
court finds It worth 100000. The
company will protest that it should
have 81, 100000 more. >''*What for?.'

WHAT IS MEANT BY THE UNIT PLANT SYSTEM

consumers in that district. The
Great Northern Power wire is
simply attached to one side of
the transformer and the custom
ers' wires are attached to the
other side Of the transformer. A
transformer is p piece of simple
electrical apparatus. Therefore
the e system can be built and op-
Grated, one or more units at a
tlme-hence the name, Unit Sys-
tenn.
These small stations will not be
generating stations, and will con-
tain no machinery for general
ing current, but merely the nee
essary transformers for reducing
the voltage, or pressure, of the
current to the proper point for
the consumer: to use for light or
power purposes. Hence the main
tenance and depreciation cost
will be the minimum.
The proposed plant has been
recommended and designed by
Messrs, Pillsbury and Ritten-
house, electrical engineers of ma
tional reputation, after year s
thorough study Of our local sit
uation. They are now engaged
in making a valuation of all the
public utilities of the city of
Washington, D. G. One repre-
sents the government; the other
represents the present owners. 1t
would seem that their joint rec
ommendation Of what would be
best for Duluth ought to be good
advice to 70 blow. These men
have designed a plant for Duluth
which is very simple, very eco
nomical in original cost, mainten-
ance and operation, and extreme
ly efficient. 1t can be. operated
largely with the present organi-
zation Of the water and light de-
partment. Overhead charges, me-
ter readings, collection of bills,
office rent, and numerous like
items Of expense, will be reduced
very materially below what any
separate organization could per-
