TIM TIME CHANGES

Generally speaking the public a,
large will welcome the advent of the
new time schedule next Sunday.
This is especially true of those who
have already planted seed for little
garden tract in their back yard. and
not few Ontarians are engaged in
that delightful persuit right now
There is no denying that for tn
residents Of the cities and towns the

way of increased food stuns, tho n

GETTING Down no BUSINESS

The proposal that Malheur count,

bonds for the construction Of an {
equato and comprehensive system ci
highways thruout the county IS IN,
most constructive proposition ever
placed before the people.
Never before has any scheme been
suggested that would compare with
this proposal as means for the d..

is more this plan will not restrict its
benefits TO one section, but will ad

CITY GETS CURRENT
 FROM BERLIN PLANT
Electric Station One of Best
 Equipped in Country

The local lines today are runnin s on power furnished by the Hartford Electric Light power station and tho Berlin power station. This was made necessary due tosNthe explosion in Waterbury Wednesday, when one or the huge turbines that has been help : ing to generate electricity Tor thlS @ city blew up and crippled all or ehe local trolley lines. sfheret are huili- Der of power stations throughout the state which, i'll case of emerseilcy' can be connected with any city py means of the high tension Wlres lhat cross the state in different directions. There are high tension wires, near . Berlin that are carrylngf II 900 volts to surrounding cities. There are also high steel towers hetween this city and Plainville that carry high tension wires from Waterbury into the Black Rock station. It. Is not generally known to many people that the cleo tricity that runs. the local trolley cars comes from Waterbury, New Haven and Berlin. IF
 To Supply New Britain.
 It is, the intention of the Connec- ticut cor pany., if present plans ma- ture, to have practically all of the power for the Nv Britain Ines como from the Berlin power station. Many people have seen tn s station;.hut have no idea of the imm ensa amount Aof electric power turned out there. Enough power is generated n this station to run the troll v syStanls of M ddl"toVn. Unionv:lle, North Haven, Meriden. and other. cities which, in times of emergency. call uoon the station for help. There dre two huge generators at the Berlin power station which arc the largest in Connecticut and on a par with any in the country. One generator is capable of giving off 11,000 volts and the two together can furn 'sh enough power for several of the largest cites in. the state. Another rotary motor is being installed to take care of the New Britain lines and when cor rloted it will be fully able to handle the load demanded. Super intend"nt Arthur Goodrich stated yes terday that the generators if there were ~nough rotaries,- could handle the larger part of the states needs for power

HAS ALL KINDS OF MONEY
Budapest Is Flooded With Oceans Of Money of No Value, So There's No Nc<.d for Excitement.

Budapest, Nov. 20.--Many kinds Of money arc in circulation in this city Blue money-that is, the money of the Austro- Hungarian Bank--is on hand in very limited quantities. Then, there is good white money with a ten per cent. discount. and bad whitc money that is worth only onc-1ifth of it's face value. Finally, there is the green money of the State Sayings Bank with a 30 per cent. discount. Curb exchanges have been formed where these moneys change hands in great quantities.
 Budapest, where earlier q news paper appeared every hour, Is living almost without newspapers of it's own. The people satisfy their cur iosity from the Vienna newspapers which are sold on the streets by thousands. They were forbidden for a time, but now have been released, and the news vendors make tremen- dous profits and get four and five crowns for q single copy. The thea ters that have reopcned are crammei full Budapest is slowly beginning to recover and come back to life under the protection of the Rumanian DaVOnet

The officials of the company and the cities using power will accept no excuses for d breakdown of any kind, and the engineers must see to it every moment that there is perfect order everywhere, for carelessness means loss of position. Only an ac- cident such as happened in Waterbury is an acceptable excuse for q hold-up of service.
 Wheels Weigh 93 Tons.
 The hyWheels of tho huge genera otrs weigh 93 tons, but arc so deli cately balanced that very light head or steam can turn them over. The two generators arc 'synchronized so that, when running, they run abso- lutely together. SO smoothly that scarcely sound is heard. The weight or each generator with 11ywheel, is estimated to be over 1900 tons and each rests upon a solid base of brick and mortar which goes down into the ground for 2S feet It takes 10 huge boilers with a constant pressure of l20 pounds to keep the generators moving.
 All of the power for the local lines comes into the Black Rock station off Black Rock avenun. Over II, 900 volts come in. This has 10 be reduced to 500 volts to run the lines. This is sufficient to kill a person. while 1000 volts will shrivel one into nothingness, vet every oay men are working at the Borl'n power station, where a slip would mean almost instant death.
