HOW TO READ THE ELECTRIC METER 8lmplo Method for Kilo watt Hours Consumed During tho Month. Reading tho eluctria tight meter lit on tblnir. and undemanding Just how It operate in qulto unoUitr, How many of ui who have elontrio and gas meters in thu houso can explain how they operate? The clectrio meter la rtally n tiny electric molar, of tho most ilulioa'o atrticturo and tha bout workmanship housed In a llttl4rin and glass Iiox. Tho revolving part of th motor Is an aluminum disk muunlcd between two electromagnets through which the cur rent to be meaMured is passed. The current in the magnets induces a cur rent In tho disk and this current flow ing in tho field of the electric magnet causes tho disk to ravulvo with a spcei directly proportional to the amount of current that la passing through the magnets. With each com plete revolution of tho disk a black band la seen to puns the glass-covered aperture In the f sea of tha meter box. and a definite number of revolutions of the disk Indicsto that one kilowatt hour of electricity bas passod through tho meter. There are four dials on the face of the meter box and the disk la geared to thorn In such a way that when one kilowatt-hour pained through the meter the disk revolves a aufllclent number of times to cause the Indicator of the right-hand dUI will move from cero to one in measuring one kilowatt hour of electricity. In reading a dial of a meter it is nec essary to read the number last passed by the pointer. This is Important fur accurate reading. On a given day the dial farthest to the right Is road and the number set down. Then the next dial to the left ia read and the number is written just to the left of the first number, aid to on until the four readings have been taken and recorded. The numbers are not added together but are rind us one whole number just as tncy Bland. As an example, suppose the pointer to the left-hund dial has just panned four, the band of the second dial is between the one and two, the third is Fredericksburg BEE At all First H. C.

Bond Wool Sal Hend Bulletin : After having been postponed twice owing to delay in the arrival of clips, the local wool sale was held Saturday, nearly 150,000 pounds being disponed of. 1'revlous to the sale approximately HO, 000 pounds had been sold, and there are three clips which will total aomething like 70,000 pounds remaining unsold. Th" Silghest price paid was 13 1-8 cents and the lowest 9 1-4 cents. The average was 11 cents. The lowness of the price was due, in a large meas ure, to the lateness of the tale. between three and four, and the point er of the fourth or right-hand dial ia between two and three. Then the meter reada four, one, three, two and four thousand, one hundred and thirty two kilowatt-hours have passed through It since it started from c ro. The right-hand dial registera kilowatt hours sinelv. the next dial registers them by tens, the third by hundreds, and the fourth or left-band dial thous ands. In every case the number print ed above thu dial is the number of units registered by one complete revo lution of the dial hand, 'the reading of the previous month is snbtrseted from the new reading in the resulting number is the amount of power con sumed during the month in terms of kilowatt-hours. If tho resident's rate is twelve cents per kilowatt-hour a simple multiplication gives the amount of the month's bill.

'''. ,i- b ilv vti jt ft:' Water Under Pressure Silver Lake Leader: Last Saturday while working In a well on Mrs. Konk'a place gusher was struck which blew the auger out of the well, nd before the helper could get a lad der down to the party that was dig ging, he was almost drowned. Later It was learned that Tom Nelson and L. E. Fields were digging the well for Mrs. Konk near the Swingle homestead and when down 30 feet, Mr. Fields took a two inch auger and was boring down to see if water wss nesr at hBnd and after going down about three or four feet the water was strucs. There wss pressure enough to blow the auger from the hole and threw wattr to a height of ten feet, which gave Mr. Fields a first class shower bath. The water raised to about ten feet in the well in a very few minutes. Oregon Peaches to Europe An experiment in the long-distance rhipment of perishable fruit is about to be tried within a few day. An entire carload of peaches is to be dispatched to Europe from the Yakima country, ar.d In this shipment only the finest selected Elbertas will be used. While the regultation boxes will be used, the layers of fruit will be sepsrated by a cushion of wood fibre as a protection against rough hanoling and possible damage, if this trisl shipment proves a succesi, it la probable that an ex tensive business in peaches will be developed by Pacific Northwest fruit exchanges. It is likely that the-open-iug of the I'anama-Canal will result in incresied movement of the softer varieties of fruit, as they can then be shipped direct with a consequent sav ing in time. . Condemns Carey Act According to a statement recently made by Governor West, the Carey irrigation act has not produced the re sults in Oregon that Its friends antic ipated for it. Such was the informa tion the chief exeoutive gave out after making a tour of investigt-tion of the work in eastern part of state. He states that If the and lands of Oregon are to be reclaimed at a reasonable co't, the work must be done by the state or Federal Government or through their co-operation. The Gov-trni-r tays the irrigation projects are so large and difticult that private con cern will not undertake t tie in unless they are convinced that enormous prollts can be made. O-W. R. & N. Eauipment One thousand new freight cars order ed by the O-W. ft. & N. Co., in antic ipation of a heavy demanu for cars to move the large crops this fall, are now teing turned out by the oar builders and are arriving at the various reserve stations of that Company in Oregon and Washington'at tne rate of 50 cars a day. The delrvery began on August 1 and the entire 1000 cars will probably be ready for use before the harvest. "With this order of 1000 new cars," says Mr. F. W. Kobinson, Assistant Ira flic Manager, "and an additional 2000 just delivered to the Union Pac ific, we are confident that we will have plenty of rolling slock for all emer gencies this year. "Tne greatest need for cars in crop moving time is about the middle of October. As delivery of all the new rolling stock will be made by Septem ber 1, we expect to be ready for any contingency. "The new boxcars are all 40 feet long and of 100,000 pounds capacity. This is the standard size adopted ty the company, "The Pacifio Fruit Express bas also ordered 200 additional refrigerator cars, which will bring its total number to 13,000. This will greatly facilitate the moving of fruit crops." At present the O.-W. R. & N. Co. is arranging fortlie parking ot freight cars at points where they will be quickly available after the harvest. A most favorable omen in connection with the important problem of car supply is the better understanding that now prevails among shippers in gener al in the matter of capacity loading and reduction to minimum of lest time in loading and unloading. To bring thia about a most persist ent and far reaching propaganda has been conducted throughout the year, not only by railroad traffic departments In the way of direct instructions to agents, but by traffic bureaus in all large commercial centers, and by the Bureau of Railway Economics at the National capital, till it ia fairly safe to say that every shipper and agent in tha land is alive to its importance. It iB believed that the indifference and thoughtlessness of past seasons will be supplanted this year and in luture by hearty oo-operation, and that car shortage, except on ordinary occasions, will be largely 'obviated. The Silver Lake Leader states that A. L. Westgard, Vice-president of the National Highways Association who recently passed tnrough Lakeview, spoke very highly of the condition of the roads Irom New Pine Creek to that place excepting that over the Summer Lake hill which he said was in a bad condition.
