ENGINEER REPORTS ON HEATING PLANT (Continued from first page.) of the amount that would be used during the months of the heating season as follows: September 2.5 per cent October 6.9 per cent November 12.2 per cent December 18.3 per cent January 19-5 per cent February 17-2 per cent March 12-5 per cent April 6.7 per cent May 3-2 per cent The following table will illustrate the amount of steam to be furnished, the losses and the amount used for eaeh of these months with the probable amount of live steamand coal required to furnish same. During the months of December, January and February it is unlikely that any exhaust steam will be wasted. In the months of November and March it is quite likely that during two or three hours during the peak light ing load some exhaust steam will be wasted, but during the remainder of the day it is expected that a quantity of live steam will be required to furnish enough for heating purposes should the weather be severe. From the foregoing table it is evident that 5,059,626 lbs. of live steam would be required for the entire heating season (plus the exhaust) basing the evaporation at 6 lbs. of water per pound of coal as before, there would be required 421.6 tons of coal to furnish this steam. During the months of November and March at the time of peak load exhaust steam probably will be wasted, and at certain times when the electrical load is hght, (should the weather be cold) it will be necessary to admit a quantity of live steam to the heating system. We have allowed 250,000 pounds of live steam for each of these months. The transmission losses will not be in direct proportion to the load at all times but will remain practically constant over a wide range of load. The table will indicate how this will probably range. The unavoidable losses and station losses should be in proportion to the amount of steam furnished and condensed. The amount of exhaust steam as taken in the above table is computed from the actual coal burned (taken from station record) for the months of October, November, December, January, February, and was estimated for the other months and are sufficiently correct as the amount of exhaust is in excess of the steam required for heating. If the amount of steam as above estimated would be used (and this amount would be required should,the amount of radiation as listed be connect ed and used) the following will indicate the probable income, operating expenses and fixed charges. Income—20,000,000 lbs. of steam at 50c per $10,000.00 Expenses: Fixed Charges: Interest at 5 per cent $1,000.00 Depreciation, 6 per cent 1,200.00 Taxes 0 $2,200.00 Operating Expenses: Fuel, 421.6 tons coal at $3.60 $1,517.76 Repairs, 5 per cent 1,000.00 Labor (extra above present City Engineering force, read ing meters, inspecting, etc.) 250.00 Total Cost of Operation $2,767.76 $4,967.76 Profit $5,032.24 It is not expected that this net profit will be realized the first year as it is doubtful whether the amount of radiation as estimated would be connected or in constant use. To the above must be added the credit due for the water which would return from the heating system due to the exhaust steam condensed. From the table it would appear that this amount would be approximately 15,000,000 lbs. for the season. Also during the six months of the year but little boiler compound will be re quired as but little water (other than that returning from the heating system) would be used in the boilers, and the use of this water from heating system will add life to the boilers as it would contain no scale forming material. From the above it will be readily seen that the advantages derived from the heating system would be: First—Increased revenue to the plant. Second—Return of much condensed steam to the boilers, and the desirability ETC 2 3 2 a Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb.

Fourth—Providing a market for a product that is now a waste, that is, the exhaust steam, during a part of the year- Fifth—Eliminating coal dust and dtrt from the buildings served. This is a great advantage to dry good stores as well as to many other lines of business. Sixth—Extending the usefulness of the plant to the citizens of New Ulm within a profitable area. We believe this estimate as given in the reports can be and doubtless would be realized the operation of a well designed heating system, and as stated in our first report we are of the opinion that this proposed installation will give a good return on the investment. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES L. PILLSBURY CO. By Charles Foster. GRAND OPERA WITH A REAL NOVELTY. Novelty in grand opera is so unusual that when it is encountered we are in clined to raise the eyebrows questioning ly. But soon music lovers of this state are to enjoy grand opera—with ballet of the most pretentious kind mixed in with it—in which the novelty element is so pronounced as to justify a capital "N". The organization to furnish this un usual quality is the Boston Grand Opera Company, and when it appears at the Auditorium in St. Paul next week it will be in conjunction with the Pavlowa Ballet Russe, headed by the wonderful Pavlowa herself. And thereby hang3 a tale a tale that has set captious critics to writing this year as they have not written before for a long time. All because of the novelty, aforesaid, which has to do with the com bining of a first class operatic institution with a ballet company of corresponding rank. Pavlowa conceived the idea. Max Rabinoff, now an operatic im presario, carried it oat. The result, we are told, will be per manent opera in future for Boston, Philadelphia and other large cities, by an organization that also is to make annual appearances in this as well as several other progressive communities. Leaping full grown from the active brain of the ever busy Pavlowa, the idea was caught and made captive late last spring. Almost before a day had elapsed cable wires were sizzling with offers to distinguished opera stars who had not left the turmoil of Europe, and telegraph wires earned invitations to distinguished singers to consider positions with the Boston Grand Opera Company. As for the ballet, that was an essembled unit— Pavlowa's Ballet Russe, which she had carried en tour for several successive seasons. In point of fact, it was the desire of Pavlowa to keep intact her artistically superb organization which caused her to venture into the field of opera where she is now succeeding so well as to be at tracting the attention of the entire civilized world. And what started with a looked-for fifteen weeks' season is now to be ex tended to one equally long in addition one which will carry this organization numbering 206 people west and north west and south and southwest. In brief, a tour to the Pacific Coast by way of nearly a score of states, and eastward to New York again. Most notable will be the presentation of Puccini's charming, if tragic, "Madame Butterfly" with a cast which the com poser always wished to have—a Japanese prima donna soprano in the role of the little Cho-Cho-San, an American tenor as the faithless naval lieutenant, B. F. Pinkerton, and an American baritone as the consul, Sharpless. The artists appearing in "Madame Butterfly", as the Boston Grand Opera Company presents it, and which caused New York, Boston, Chicago, Phila delphia and other audiences to exclaim in wonderment at its perfection, are Miss Tamaki Miura, the only Japanese singer who has gained a foremost place on the grand opera stage Riccardo Mar tin, the foremost of American dramatic tenors and Thomas Chalmers, a baritone who would be drawing $1,000 a night if he had an Italian name. Naturally, the interest of the public has centered in the tiny woman from the Orient whose personal magnetism and individual charm appear to have won for TABLE NO. 1. tr1 O on H* (Of en 50,000 138,000 244,000 366,000 390,000 344,000 270,000 134,000 64,000 1,380,000 2,440,000 3,660,000 3,900,000 3,440,000 2,700,000 1,340,000 640,000 ttf .§ S 3* to a sf 3 2§ si ra 50,000 138,000 244,000 366,000 390,000 344,000 270,000 134,000 64,000 5 S B1 a sr 2 ti n- c+ 3 3 3* 3 i-t» 725,000 2,750,000 0 1,831,000 3,231,756 0 3,128,000 3,234,360 250,000 41,666 4,592,000 3,384,804 1,207,196 201,199 4,880,000 3,203,223 1,676,774 279,466 4,328,000 2,842,344 1,485,656 247,609 3,440,000 3,250,000 440,000 73,333 1,783,000 3,000,000 0 893,000 2,750,000 0 Iher the instant admiratfdn of almost everyone who has seen her. Vocally, she has also satisfied because her instru ment is described by no less distinguished a critic than Henry T. Finck, of the New York Evening Post, in these terms: "It soars true as a bell up and up, with no effort, with unusual volume, and a warmth that thrills. It would be in teresting to hear her in some Occidental role, though no other part could suit her as Butterfly does." Henry E. Krehbiel, in the New York Tribune, -wrote "Tamaki Miura seems to be the ehild she is supposed to be. She is as gay and -childlike, as full of laughter as a tiny Japanese maiden would be but there is also remarkable dignity and polish in her manner." We know that Miss Miura has come to her position in opera through a course of musical training that has been vigorous and wholly along the lines of the tra ditional development of the European prima donna- She began her training in her own home, Tokio, but when she went to singing, after her marriage three years ago, she found the opposition of her husband's family sufficient to compel the temporary abandonment of the stage. Only when it was lifted did she go to Berlin, to finish her preparation for the large field she was later to occupy. From Berlin to London went this Japanese singer, growing in her art and in her musical knowledge and eventually singing with Patti at the London Opera House, where the great diva publicly kissed her after the performance. Her American recognition has been such as to cause all who are interested in per sonalities to want to see as well as to hear her, for she is, without question, the most potent singer frcm a popular standpoint, now on the operatic stage. But apart from this individual novelty —and the splendid other principals of the Boston Grand Opera Company, the orchestra, chorus and stunning scenic investiture—there is the notable Pav lowa Ballet Russe. Heretofore, no grand opera in this country has had with it a ballet organi zation in any way comparable with this one. And the arrangement provides for the appearance of Pavlowa and her associates at every performance, follow ing the opera. The performances ot this unique organization do not smack of the cut and-dried, stiff-corsetted, fluffy-skirted aggregation of premiere and coryphees which are being put distinctly out of fashion by what in this enterprise is being accomplished. What Russia has accomplished with the ballet in the opera, and as a factor used in conjunction with it, is now being done for America. The idea is, new here and, the achievement one that appears «to have seized the popular favor. Taking an artistic step well advance of anything ever before attempted in this country, Managing Director Rabi noff states quite frankly that he is building for something big, something that has in its future permanency that will cause each community he visits with this organization to say: "Well done, come back to us again next year, and the next and yet the next." Then there will be Puccini's "La Boheme," with Felice Lyne and Maggie Teyte—both distinguished prime donne —exchanging the leading soprano role Riccardo Martin, Graham Marr or Thomas Chalmers, the two finest of American baritones, Jose Mardones, best of bassos living and other stars. Besides there will be "Otello," with Giovanni and a stunning cast, and ballets by the Pavlowa forces. Also, in the conductor's place, will be found Roberto Moranzoni, whose directing has caused a sensation, not to mention much else that is essential to results of a sort that are all too seldom found. From top to bottom, we are told, the Boston Grand Opera Company and the Pavlowa Ballet Russe is equipped with novelty in abundance to cheer the artistic expert and to arouse the -so called "tired business man"—both of whom may find in their undertakings elements to arouse and hold the interest and send them home feeling that the time has been well spent. The engagement in St. Paul opens Monday evening, April 24th, with the opera "The Love of Three Kings" in conjunction with the Ballet Russe in the new ballet "Snowflakes" from Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker Suite." "Otello" will be given Tuesday, "Ma dame Butterfly" at the Wednesday matinee and "La Boheme" Wednesday night with the Ballet Russe in a series of Spanish Dances.

DODGE GARS SERVE PUBLIC WORKS* HERE AT LEAST EXPENSE RECORDS KEPT SHOW DODGE BROTHERS MACHINES DO MILES AT TWO CENTS FLAT. The report of the department of public works on the individual main tenance cost of 37 automobiles operated by the department shows the Dodge Brothers motor car operated by Mr. John Dunn was the most economically driven car in the department. The statistics include every expense incurred by the cars from July 1, 1915, to December 1, 1915, gasoline, oil, repair cost, tire ex pense, etc., and show that Mr. Dunn's car was operated at the low cost of ex actly two cents per mile. The five Dodge Brothers cars used in the department also are given several records which place them at the top of the low maintenance records. Not one of the 37 used in the department was run for the six months at a lower cost per mile than any one of the five Dodge Brothers cars. They also showed the highest mileage, the lowest expense on tires and the greatest mileage per gallon of gasoline of any touring car in the de partment. Three of the Dodge cars were operated for the six months without any expense on tires. On the other two cars of this make the only tire expense was for the replacement of spare tires which were stolen from the machine. The report shows many interesting comparisons of the maintenance cost of automobiles which range in cost from two cents a mile for the Dodge Brothers car to 27 cents a mile for one of the heavy duty trucks. "Such figures are interesting to motor car owners and to prospective buyers of jnotor cars," said Thomas J. Doyle, local distributor for Dodge Brothers cars. "In these days of the high cost of gasoline every one is looking for a car that can* be operated economically but it is seldom you can find any owner who can tell you the exact cost per mile for the operation of his car. Such Dodge Brothers owners who have recorded the expenses for their cars have found them exceedingly low and that they were getting unusually high mileage on a gallon of gasoline."—Detroit Free Press.
