POWER COMPANY
REDUCES RATES

For the sole purpose of stimu-
lating increased domestic and
business use Of electricity, the
Puget Sound Power & Light Com,
pany announces sweeping re-
duction in residence and CONNER
cial lighting rates throughout
Vashon island. The new rates,
which are to be effective Septem-
Der |, at which time the COM
pany's big 10000 horsepower by
dro-electric plant on the Baker
River will start operation, viii be
as follows:
Residence Lighting rate, eleven
cents a kilowatt hour for the first
sixty kilowatt hours and three and
one half cents kiiowatt hour for
all in excess.
Commercial lighting rate, eleven
cents kilowatt hour for the first
sixty kilowatt hours per kilowatl
of demand and three and one hall
cents per kilowatt hour ,for all in
excess.
The reduction has been coupled
with the completion OF the Baker
River project for the reason that
when electric power from that
source becomes available, the eX-
pense of operating steam electric
generating plants at many OF the
principal ccnters will no longel
be necessary, the company pol
icy being to share the savings so
effected with its customers i'll the

This operating economy, which
is being passed on to constomers
in every part of the territory ser

however, in itself justify the
marked reductions which are now
announced for Vashon island for
the reason that the island invest
ment is not only unusually heavy
for the number OF customers SER

compared with mainland territory

make electricity SO cheap on Wash

it for everything.
81 don't believe that the peo-
pie Of Nashon island realize that
the new cable which is now being
laid to connect with the mainland
means an expenditure to us Of no
less than $4,000 and that $40,

quivalent to two years gross rev
enue from the island, figuring on
the basis Of present rates.
We are trying to make it easy
for everybody. Not only have we

new one at a cost of $4,000 but
we are also raising the voltage so

Much of the stock of the company

ether diseases Of the mouth and gums.
1t is one of the few patent medicines
sold in drug stores containing radiUm,
which is the most valuable of all min
erals. Radium is extracted from
Cornatite ore mined in Paradox Val
ley, Colorado. The attention of a
well known chemist of Denver was
first attracted to Paradox Valley and
the curative effects of Radium when
he discovered that miners suffering
from rheumatism were cured by
sleeping on the ore dumps. Expert
ments proved that the Radium rays
shooting through the body killed the
/ germs and restored the health Of the
patients. A big laboratory was erect
ed by the leading citizens of Denver
where radium baths were given
Many remarkable cures were effected

FRIEND OF SIEGERT
SAYS ROBBERY MOTIF

Wolf POint.-JOhn DOrgan, Of
the Peshing community, friend
and near neighbOr of Charles
(CarD Siegert, murdered ScObey
man, was a caller at the Herald
office Wednesday. Mr.. DOrgan
says that Siegert told him that
he had 500 which he intended
to use in opening up a bOttling
works in ScObey. As Siegert
had no funds in the bank at the
time of his death it is presumed
that he had drawn it out and
that robbery was the motive.
His body was found floating in
the Poplar creek by two ScObey
school teachers a few days ago. A
cap had been pulled down over
his face and hid a bullet wound
in the temple. At the cOrOner's
inquest the verdict that he had
been murdered by unknown par
ties was given.
Siegert came to the Pershing
community from Long Prairie,
Mimi, and took up land. Last
fall he went to ScObey and said
he planned on opening a bOttling
works. When no mail was re-
ceived from him in three weeks a
brother, John Siegert, came out
here, arriving in ScObey on Sat
urday, just three hours before the
body was located. The only light
he was able to throw on the case
was that the mackinaw found on
the dead body was not his broth
