THE WINTER STORMS

TIME was, and not so far back,
either. when every household
about this season of the year
began to lay in it's winter stores of
vegetables, fruits, meats and every
thing that could be preserved for use
during the season when the earth is
nonproductive. The corner grocery
and the city market house have made
this old-fashioned thrift unnecessary
now, but it is a wise housekeeper who
keeps up the practice. Foodstuffs
bought in quantities at this season are
far lower in price than they will be in
the middle Of next winter or early
next spring, and not a little saving
may be thus effected.
But aside from that there is satis-
faction in q well.stored cellar or but
terry beside which even the thrift it
exemplifies is a small thing. There
are few more pleasurable experiences
than to stand in ones "cold room"
amid a plentitude of hams, shoulders,
bacons, pumpkins, potatoes, apples and
foodstuffs put away against the rigors
of the winter months. What matter
how the night behave; what matter
how the north wind rave; blow high,
tlow low, not all its snow can quench
our hearth fires ruddy glow" nor de-
stroy our sense of comfort and security
If the food supply is stacked high in
storage and the cellar is filled with
wood and coal.

ton.
The Washington plant, according to
estimates, will cost S15,000,000. OF
! this, S5,000,000 will be charged up to
furnishing better water supply to
the capital city, and 100000 to the
power plant. This is but a little more
money than was spent on the big res
ervoir in Arizona.
The engineers of the War Depart
ment have made extensive estimates
of the cost of the power that would
be generated from such a plant. Fig
uring in all elements, such as interest
on the investment and depreciation OF
the plant, they estimate that a kilo-
watt hour, the measure in which cleo
tricity is sold, would cost the govern
ment, as the consumer, 81 mills. The
present price which the government
pays for electricity Is a little more than
two cents a kilowatt hour. The cleo
tricity so brought amounts to 5000
year.
Both Light and Water
So the original purpose in mind is
the construction of a plant that will
furnish more water for Washington,
and power for use in the government
departments and in the District. For
these ends there would be Immediately
needed 10000 horsepower. Estimating
the future growth of the city, there
Will De neeueQ twenty years hence,
$4,000 horsepower
The proposed plant would develop
much more than even this latter fig
ure. 1t could be depended upon quite
regularly to produce $4,000 horse
power, and, with little supplement
ing in dry weather, it could be worked
up to a steady production of 100, 900
horsepower. The government already
has plant at the Capitol for the pro-
duction of sufficient electricity for that
building, and it's satellites. This plant,
burning coal, is capable of producing
10000 horsepower. 1t could be held
in reserve and used for the few days
in the year when low water prevented
the great power plant from supplying
the amount needed.
There is no other city in the world,
so far as the authorities know, that
has such plant as that which is con-
templated for Washington. The ma
tional capital is a national model in
many ways and the men who stand
back of the proposed project hold that
the demonstration of the practicable
ity of installing this most modern sys-
tenn of municipal development of
power will be an example that may be
followed in many localities.
