LOCALS LOSE
BOTH GAMES
Clarkston's Team Too Fast
For Kendrick

It is a painful process to again have
to record the defeat of Hendricks
baseball team. The game played
here last Friday between Charleston
and the local team was good one
but as usual the heavy end Of the
score was on the wrong page of the
score book. A couple costly errors
lost the game for the local team.
Aside from these two errors the
game was the best one played on the
local grounds this season.
Hill and Forrest were the battery
for the Kendrick team and played
their usual steady game. Robinson
and Bittle made up the pitching
staff for the visitors and E. Bishop
caught. Pounds, the Charleston short
stop, is a dandy ball player, prob
ably the best on the Charleston team.
At the end of the game the score
stood 5 to 8 in favor of Charleston.
Walter Thomas umpired the game.
The band played before and dur
ing the progress of the game and
the music was very good. The band
boys have been very liberal with
their services and deserve much
more credit than they get for the
splendid music they furnish.

The following account of the
game played between Kendrick and
Charleston was taken from the Tri-
bune:
The locals defeated Kendrick
easily yesterday in a rather loose
game. The play opened with three
hits, netting the home team two
runs. The visitors were shut out
and the twin city boys came back
with a series of slams including two
three-baggers netting five more
scores. Jones was relieved by Hill
in the last of the second inning and
the tide was stemmed for a while,
but everybody was out to slug the
ball and hits were plentiful.
The locals played good ball on the
field, but an eight-run lead, made
some of the boys little careless.
A natural result of this was that
Andrews was forced into some bad
holes and tired out. He was re-
lieved with two out, and two men
on bases in the seventh, after four
runs had been made. Bittle struck
the third man out, and Kendrick's
chances for victory were over.

Regarding Your Electric Lights
Some Useful Information For Those Who Have Installed
Electric Lights.

The following explanation Of the
electric light rates is given in as
clear and concise manner as possible
for the benefit of the present and
prospective customers of the Pot
latch Electric Company. For one
not accustomed to the terms used
in the manufacture and measure
ment of electricity, the usual publi-
cation of a light rate schedule is
as so much Greek. For this reason
the manager of the local plant has
given below a short article on the
subject, together with an explana-.
tion of the rates for both residences
and commercial establishments.
Electricity, and the wires over
which it is usually distributed, may
be compared to a city water works
and the network Of piping required
for the proper distribution of water
to the residences connected for SER
vice. The reservoir may we'll be
compared to the generator at the
light plant. The pressure or head"
of water corresponds to the voltage
which is constantly maintained on
the wires of a lighting system.
Voltage and pressure therefore.
have exactly the same meaning. In
the measurement of water, it is GUS
tomary to use the standard gallon
as the unit but in electrical prac.
tice the ampere is the unit of quan.
tity. Instead of saying "five gallons
of water" we say ''five amperes Of
current"
As in the water system, the
amount of electricity which will
flow in the wires depends entirely
upon the pressure at which the wire
or conductor is operating. The
usual pressure of water system is
in the neighborhood of ninety
pounds, while that of the electric
light system is one hundred and ter
volts. 1t may easily be seen that s
half inch pipe with a water pressure
of ninety pounds behind it will dis
charge more water than the same
pipe operating under a pressure o.
forty-five pounds.
This also holds good in the elec
trio system, for it is an established
fact that more power will flow ovel
the same size of wire at a voltage
of 23OO volts than will be conducted
at the pressure of 11O volts. B.
this method it can easily be remem
bered that the voltage of an electri
system indicates pressure only ant
the number of amperes indicate
the real power being transmitte'
by the wires or conductors.
The unit of electrical work is tn
watt" The number of watt
flowing in an electrical circuit ma
be determined by multiplying tn
the voltage or pressure on the wire

pushed through by the pressure be

BUSINESS MEN
PLAY BASEBALL
Thrilling Game Witnessed on
Tuesday Afternoon.

III AAlAlA o0lAAC w AlAlOSoSO OA
Tuesday Afternoon.
The baseball game between the
Stew Foots and Cats Paws was pull
ed off Tuesday afternoon before
crowd of enthusiastic spectators.
The Cats Paws won through num-
ber of f1ukes, seeming to have luck
with them all the way through the
game.
The Stew Foots played a splendid
game with only some thirty-odd
errors chalked up against them.
Their outfield was especially strong
being composed of John Wade, w.
Wenzlaff and A. E. Wilcox. The N.
P. pulled Wilcox out of the game
but Guy Lewis took his place and
finished the game without an error.
Wenzlaff made two brilliant plays
in the outfield but his batting
average fell below the five hundred
mark. John Wade is a has-been
but showed some of his old time
form at short intervals during the
game. Patton and Thomas caught
while MACPHERSON, Knepper and
Thomas relieved each other in the
pitchers box. Mcdowell used to
play cricket in Canada but there are
a few minor points of baseball that
he has yet to learn. He played
third and while he didn't catch
many flies or stop many grounders,
he did the best he could. MacKen-
zie, the captain, was too busy plac-
ing his men where they were least
likely to get hurt, to get into the
game. Frank Chamberlain played
second and H. Stanton substituted
for Macpherson.
The Cats Paws played rather a
ragged game througout. Dunkle
was the slab artist for the victorious
team but his spit ball wouldn't
break right and several hits were
secured which probably wouldn't
have been hits at all if he had only
been a little better pitcher. Samp-
, son relieved Dunkle in the box and
his delivery seemed to have one or
7 two of the Stew Foots buffaloed,
5 for he famed a couple of men.
Compton caught but it wasn't fair

and watts on a small brass plate
riveted to the side of the appliance.
The present improved forms of
Mazda tungsten lamps develope
about one candlepower Of light for
each watt consumed. Thus forty
watt lamp will give thirty-six
candlepower.
The kilowatt-hour which is the
standard term used in the measure
ment of electricity for sale, is
another mystery to the layman.
"Kilo" is Greek word and means
zone thousand" in English. A
"kilowatt-hour" is. therefore, one
thousand watts used during a con-
tinuous period of one hour and is
accurately shown by the meter
which is installed at every light in
stallation. In order to make your
meter revolve to a point indicating
one kilowatt-hour, it would be
necessary to burn either one
thousand watt lamp for the period
of one hour or the equivalent of the
same. One forty watt lamp will
burn for twenty-five hours before
the meter will register the first unit
on the dial on the right hand side
of the meter, indicating one kilo-
watt-hour.
The electric light schedule for
both residences and commercial es.
Establishments appears in this issue
in the regular advertisement of the
Potlatch Electric Company and, for
the benefit of those that do not
thoroughly understand them, they
are explained as follows:
For residences, the rate begin!
with 15c for each of the first q
kilowatt-hours. Thus if your meter
reads IL kilowatt-hours at the tim'
of reading, your bill will be $l.6s
for the month. After the first 2(
kilowatt-hours have been consumed
the rate reduces to 13c per kilowat
hour which would make the next q
cost $3.50. The residence rat'
slides down the scale until the rat
is only sc per kilowatt-hour. Tn
smallest charge for service is $1.5O
| The commercial rate is handle'
on a different basis which gives tn

of lights the benefit of a rate bette
suited to his needs. The numbe
