ELY LIGHT AND POWER
GETS RATE INCREASE

Following the hearing before Com
missioner Scrugham in Ely January
~ an order has been issued by the
public service commission of Nevada
in the matter of the petition of the
Ely Light and Power Company to in
crease rates for electric service, and
by the ruling of the commission the
increase asked for is granted and the
new schedule becomes effective Feb
fuary Is, but Is TO extend for a period
of sin months only, when the matter
will again be taken up.
The opinion of the commissioners
sets forth that since September g.,
1913, the date on which the present
rates were fixed and under which the
company has since operated, Ger
tain additions and betterments have
been made and considerable advance
in expense has occurred, notably in
fuel and labor costs. The compare
lively small size of this generating
plant and scarcity of water for power
are such as to almost necessarily pro-
duce abnormally high unit costs. II
arrangements could be made to pur-
chase power from the Nevada Consol-
idated Copper Company, which is a
large producer, these unit costs could
be greatly reduced and would permit
of a corresponding reduction in rates
TO the public
The opinion further says that the
commission will tentatively approve
the increase in rates for a period of
six months, with the express under
standing thai the petitioner company
will in the meantime, use every con-
sistent effort to secure power from n
less costly source than the small
steam plant il now operates. AT the
end of six months from the effective
date of the order, namely, February
-, 1921, the Ease will be reopened
and the schedule of rates fixed upon
the facts as they appear at thai time. ="
In conformity with the opinion the
following order has -feen entered by
the commission:
That the Ely Light and Power
Company be and it is hereby author
lied 10 publish and make effective
the following schedule of rates for
light and power in the district served
by ii:
Light-Minimum charge, $3.50;
90 cents per kilowatt hour upon all
consumption of current by a single
consumer for the first 80 kilowatt
hours consumed per month; IS cents
per kilowatt hour upon all consump-
ton Of current by a single consumer
for the next 100 kilowatt hours con
sumed per month; Is IL cents per
Lilowatt hour upon all consumption
of current by n single consumer for
all in excess Of $50 kilowatt hours
consumed per month.
Power-Thirteen cents per kilo-
watt hour.

TT is generally recognized by house
keepers that July and August are the

in sections where the humidity is most
marked.
Food is apt to spoil. clothes and shoes

In the spring cleaning days everything
which is not absolutely essential should
be put away carefully. Pictures should
be covered with netting. Heavy draper

daily. Closet doors should be left open
most of the time for a circulation of air.
The cellars should be clean, have lime
scattered about freely. and be aired
daily.
In the kitchen where most of the waste
takes place. special care must be exer-
cised. All dry groceries should be
slowed away in glass jars. Flour and
such things should be purchased in small
quantities. Ham and bacon will mold IL
not watched carefully. and it Is wise to
buy only just enough for immediate use.
Meals and cereals get weevI1s in them
II not used up immedia tely.
Marketing should be done for each day
as meats spoil quickly. almost over
night.
Bread molds quickly 1t should be
kept in a dry. warm spot. and it is bet
ter not to have more on hand than will
serve the family for two days.
Cheese molds not only on top. but in
thFead-like streaks all through, so It Is
wise to have only small quantity On
hand.
Garbage and trash buckets should be
emptied twice a day and the buckets
scalded and washed out every morning.
Pots. pans and coffee pots. after wash
ing. will be the sweeter for q summing.
Clothing waiting to be laundered
should be hung up in bags where the air
can get to IT,
Do not sprinkle clothes to be ironed
until nearly time for the ironing, for II
left too long they may mIidew.
Plumbing should be very carefully
watched during these warm days. and
sink drains be kept free, clean and dis
infected. In summer the pipes sweat. SO
they should be wiped of at least once .
day.
Unused chimneys for open fires may
be stuffed with Newspaper. This will
keep them from smelling damp and
earthly.
Shoes which are not worn continuously
should be polished occasionally. II they
are not kept on trees they should be
stuffed with tissue paper. This will keep
them in good condition and free from
mold
All these precautions seem lot of
work. but they are necessary if one
would avoid waste and its attendant ex-
pense, which often Ia needless.

litely. Il just wondered when I saw
you coming across the meadows If you
were out hunting. You see. Mama
Bobolink is Of such a nervous tenpera-
lnent that the sight of a hunter gives
me a start
Never worry about me-" laughed
Dicky. I'm not the kind of hunter that
would harm you"
Il should say not" laughed squeedee
che was just wondering what you meant
by the funny song you were singing"
"Oh. mel" laughed the little feathered
fellow. You see, we have most of our
birding friends guessing. They all know
/ change my clothes in the fall. and
they'd all like to know how do it. Why,
they even hint that I dye my suit in
berry juices to make 1t brown. Just as
If such q thing could be done!" Bobo-
link laughed until the tears stood in his
eyes. what foolish things some wise
birds say"
.'But what's the idea of changing your
suit at alp asked Dicky. ''other birds
don't have to-"
Some OF them do" corrected Bobby
Bobollnk. II don't know why they do
IL. But / change from this black suit to
q dull yellowish Brown in the fall. It's
q clever camouf1age. you know, and I
can't be discovered so easily among the
foliage. When have on that garb most
folks call me Reedbird." and without
another chirp he spread his wings and
SCARED away.
.'Iust like Bobolink." laughed sauee-
dee. Hes a timid fellow, and You prob
ably never would have seen him If I
hadn't been with you. But tlmid as he
is. he's sort of reckless fellow. He
generally ends up in a bird pie, for he
will persist in eating in the rice fields of
the South, end there they most always
ind their fate"
Dicky watched the bird grow smaller
and smaller until he disappeared among
the grasses, and when he turned around
again Squeedee had disappeared also
But Diclxy never forgot Bobolink's song,
and he tells every one he meets what
queer little fellow he is. and how he
changes his clothes with the changing
seasons.
