cided

The site for the Beaver dam has been Sc
1ec;ed, and. as was indicated in The Dis
PATCH. it is to be at Vanport, on the Cleveland
and Pittsburg railroad, just opposite the
Beaver courty poor farm. Colonel W. A.
Merrill and Captain William Martin, Superin-
tendent of the Davis Island dam, viewed the
location on Monday, and it was decided on
definitely yesterday. River men consider Van
port one of the best locations on the river The
Raccoon creek empties into the Ohio river just
above the proposed site. ana there is deep
pool about quarter of mile below, which
will make the river navigable the entire year
at that point.
In construction the dam will be similar to the
Davis Island dam, but nothing has been done
outside of selecting the site. Colonel Merrill
estimates that the cost will be In the neighbor-
hood of 500, 900. and if the appropriation can
be secured the dam can be completed within a
