Vancouver WeIter Seeks
Revenge in PetroIIe,
Tilt Tonight.
By United Press

BY Cntted RTeSS
NEW YORK, May 27.-Jimmy
McLarnin, the "baby face" battlel
from Vancouver, has an opportun-
ity to avenge one Of the worst beat
ings of his ring career tonight when
he meets Billy Petrolle of Fargo,
N. D., in ten round bout at Madi-
son Square Garden.
It will mark McLarnin'S first fight
since he broke his hand last Novem-
Der as Petrolle administered him
one Of the most decisive beatings in
his career. That right hand is back
in shape now, McLarnin contends,
and with it he hopes to derail "the
Fargo Express" tonight.
McLarnin will enter the ring a
favorite. He has been quoted at
odds ranging from 8 to S to to S.
The Irishman probably will have a
weight advantage of six pounds. He
probably will scale IA and Petrolle

IN ELECTRICITY USED

Ketchikan homes lead the av- craze American home in the use of electricity considerably more than five to one and pay one- third the average rate, according to figures compiled by the Ma tional Electric Light Association and compared with local statis- tics prepared by the Citizens Light Power and Water Company, says the Chronicle.
 The average number of kilo- watt hours consumed by American residences during the year ending last April was 563, for the year
 ending May it was 566.
 1 In Ketchikan during 193O the average number of kilowatt hours consumed by residence customers of the Ciitezns Light, Power and
 Water Company was 2795, or monthly average of 232. For the first seven months of 1881, total kllOW2tt hour consumption per residence consumer, on the aver 1 age, was 1876, or 239 a month. The average American cost for each residence customer in the 12-month period ending last May was 5:91 cents per kilowatt hour. For the year ending in April the average cost was 5,93 cents. The year previous it was 6.23 cents. The Ketchikan average for do- mestic customers in 193O was 2.16 cents, and for the first seven months of 1881 the average resi- dence rate per kilowatt hour was I2.l4 cents
 Officials of the Citizens Light Power and Water Company point ed out that many utility compan- ies have set goal of 5000 kilo- watt hours as the average for each residence customer. The mark of
 2795 set here in 1880 shows Ket-
 chikan we'll on the road.
