There is no room to discuss all the varied as
poets of this question; but it may be said that
one OF the great fundamentals that has led to the
Use OF alternating current transmission for about
9Jo of the electrical systems now in Use has been
It's great economy, as compared to other systems,
in the transmission of power. And the trans
former, itself. is the heart of the alternating
current system.
1t permits small current, at high voltage to
be transformed to large current at low voltage,
or vice versa, through the Use of simple immobile
apparatus, and thus supplies the essential factor
in electrical Transmission.
William Stanley is remembered because it was
he who commercially developed transformers of
high efficiency and satisfactory regulating quail
ties. He brought out the first system in which
The transformers were connected in parallel,
across constant-potential system. instead of
the series operation used by Gaulard and Gibbs.
The system embodying this principle was put
into operation at Great Darlington, Mass. on
March l6, 1885, and has been the standard
method ever since.
Thus briefly is recorded the history of an
Other contribution of the Westinghouse engi-
neering organization to the electrical art; since
all the transformers which are made today are
built upon the same general principles as those
first constructed to cmbody William Staney's
inventions.

and the Alternating Current Transformer

There is nothing that compares with cleo
tricity for the economical transmission Of power
As a matter of fact, energy in any other form can
be economically transmitted only for the shortest
distances. III a power need develops, and its
location is more than few hundred yards from
the power house, the engineer at once turns TO
the electrical method for cheap and reliable
transmission.
To the thousands who are living their lives in
the earlier days of the Electrical Age it probably
seems that this situation must have always
existed. But actually, there is many man with
no gray in his hair can recall the days when
electric light and power were literally unknown.
The tremendous electrical transmission sys-
TENS that have been developed during the past
thirty years owe their existence to the fact that
they are practically. as well as technically,
right. They provide cheaper power than would
otherwise be possible; and production, and the
creation of real values, always requires COM
paratively low-priced power for its highest
development And the history of low-cost
power transmission is the history of Alternating
Current, and especially of the Alternating Cur
rent Transformer. For one of the great factors
in the cost of electrical systems is the cost of con-
ductors-wires es-and the big thing about alter
mating current is that it makes possible the Use of
conductors which are within the cost limits which
competitive and economic conditions impose

Hottest Place in the World.

Ten years of records obtained at
the United States weather bureaus
substation at Greenland ranch, in
Death Valley, California, indicates
that this is the hottest region in the
United States, and so far as extreme
maximum temperature of 1874 de-
grees Fahrenheit, recorded on July
10, 1913, is believed by meteorologists
to be the highest natural air tenn
perature ever recorded with tested
standard thermometer exposed in the
shade under approved conditions
High temperatures are common
throughout the year, but the highest
occur uring midsummer. Precipita-
ton is extremely light, the normal
annual precipitation being less than
two inches. Evaporation is excessive
as the relative humidity is extremely
low most of the time and especially
during the hot spells of summer.
White people find the midsummer
heat most trying. Even the Indians
go up to the Panamint range dur
ing July and August. The weather
station maintained at Greenland
ranch in cooperation with the borax
company is unique in many ways.

TURNER'S HAVING
PLEASANT VISIT
IN MINNESOTA

w. L. Turner, his wife and two
sons daughtes, Winnifred ad Hazel
daughters, Winnifred and Hazel for
mer residents of Vasa, but who for
the past twelve years have resided
near Boise, Idaho, who are in the
city enjoying visit with relatives
and friends. They made the trip
from Boise City to Red Wing by au>
to n eleven days, spending two days
in Yellowstone National Park
Mr.. Turner, who called at the Re,
publican office ON Saturday to re-
new his subscription to the Great
Family Paper as many subscribers
call the Republican, said that he and
his family enjoyed every moment OF
the trip Yellowstone National Park
scenery, he reclared, is too wonder
full to describe. He produced a mum,
Der of kodak pictures which he
snapped at the Continental Divide
and at various other points enroute
to Red Wing and the scenes natural
ly enough bear out Mr.. Turner's
version of the grandeur of the Rocky
Mountain country.
Mr.. Turner is a great booster for
Idaho. He says that while half the
state is a forest reserve, yet, the
irrigated sections are rich in agri-
cultural production: When the, Tur'
ers first went west they lived on q
ranch. Now Mr.. Turner operates
a modern stagecoach line between
Mountain Home and Grandyiew, .
drive of thirty miles through a most
picturesque country.
Idaho has had its set back but it
is coming Gght to the front. The
sheep and Cattle raising industry was
hard hit of late years but conditions
this year are excellent, Mr.. Turner
declared. He and his family plan to
remain in this community for about
month.
The Idaho man said that while the
western roads are fairly passable,
they are quite treacherous in the
mountain sections. Don't be dis
heartened about hard roads" was
the encouragement offered by eastern
tourists, whom the tourists met en-.
route and they remark with "every'
thing will be lovely when you strike
Minnesota" The roads in that state
are wonderful" Being an old time
Minnesotan Mr.. Turner said he felt
pretty chesty, when he heard all the
tourists praising the highways of the

Geysers Revise Schedule.

Old Faithful, Yellowstone's most
faithful geyser has slightly changd
the period OF its 'eruptions. Accord
ing to the observations of the park
naturalist and the rangers, the gey-
ser now spouts on an average every
64.6 minutes Last year the average
period was so minutes.
The alteratin in Old Faithfuls
tempo" does moi indicate any les
sing of the vigor or "faithfulness.
On the contrary, Naturalist NJ. P.
SINNERS observation shows the
mighty fountain TO be increasing i'm
volume. The change is believed to
be due TO an alteration in the sub
terranean tube of the geyser.
For the last year or SO oldFaith-
full has acquired a habit of occasion
ally throwing out small rocks. The
passage of the rocks through the tube
is believed to have enlarged dts di-
mansions slightly, this In turn being
responsible for the heightened peri
cd between eruptions and the In
creased volume of water.
A lumber of other interesting
changes lending a constantly varying
interest to the mysterious NANTES
tations of the parks performing nat
ural wonders, are also reported by
the parks official observers,
Constant geyser, after "a period OF
quiet, has resumed regular activity,
with an interval of one minute be-
tween eruptions The White Dome
geyser, in Lower basin, has also be-
come mere active. and now plays to
a height of SO feet every hour, For
many years past 1T has seldom spout
ed over 20 feet.

The Very Idea!

This is growing serious. Down in
Oneida county the democrats had a
little meeting the other evening TO
suggest officers for county offices.
There were women there, and they
just naturally took the bit into their
teeth and put forword woman for
county commissioner. This is the
first offense of this kind in the his
tory OF Idaho, so fr as the records
show.
The daring woman is Mrs. Jane
F. Scott. She is said to be just as
capable as any man in the county
to handle public affairs, but her can
didacy has the men folks worried
sick. 1t will be interesting to note

Inspection Scrap Unsettled.

Exchange of kilograms between
Miles Cannon, state commissioner OF
agriculture, and officials is the only
development in the controversy be-
tween the and fededal government
over the proposed cooperation in
spection of Idaho's fruit and vege-
tables this year.
Commissioner Cannon received a
telegram from the federal bureau
Monday, suggesting compromise ag-
reement whereby the state would
have to increase the inspection fee
on potatoes from $3.50 to so per car.
pay all the salaries, travelling and
subsistence expenses of a $4,000 a
year federal man except $3.50, and
all the time he has in the state. The
second official would have charge
of the northwest, and would be in
the state part of the time.
Mr.. Cannon s reply which was sent
cut Monday afternoon, stated that
the state laws are not framed to meet
conditions such as are being promot-
ed by the federal department.
In lieu of the proposition submit
tedted in the federal officials tele-
gram, MIR. Cannon offered to pay the
expenses of the part time Official
while he is in the state, but said
that the agreement would terminate
January 1st, when the questiin of a
permanent cooperation basis with
the federal government would be
presented to the Legislature. Mr.. Can
non said he told the federal officials
that his substituted proposition had
