THE ELECTRIC STATION.


Its Construction Progressing Rapidly
a Force of 80 Employed.
The stupendous scheme for utilizing water
power at the gorge, which was thought by
many to be impracticable, lie being rapidly
pushed to completion by 50 men. Two
large steam derrcks handle the material.
In the 20 days since operations were re
sumed there have been as many feet of wall
laid as were built last fall in six weeks
The outer or main walls now stand 80 feet
high and the cross walls of the east half Of
the station are being brought to a level with
the main walls. That done, the dynamo
floor will b. laid or this half after which the
outer walls will be constructed With all posi-
bic haste. The completion Of the mason work
Of the east half first is done SO that the
smaller derrick may be removed and used
in the construction OF the dam near the
head OF the island, work upon which will
be commenced the early part OF next month.
1bs big derrick, which is set up the west
bank, will convey stone, or other material
to any portion OF tho west half. The set
tin2s for four OF the big water wheels are
in place.
Thus far about 1900, OC0 pounds OF
stone have been used, and at least, ,000
coo more pounds will be required. One
block weighed S76O pounds. The estimate
calls for 200 900 feet of lumber to build the
dam. Manager Vincent is personally SUI
perintending the work.

How differently people see things
Some people have to get very near to see
things, others hold them Off to look at them.
Some people think the moon looks as big as
a silver dollar, others as big as a cartwheel.
And some people think the moon is green
and others call it yellow
But to those who see through sick eyes
there is no doubt that the world looks un-
mistakeably blue.
There are people who worry about the
price OF rents next year, foresee trouble
from comets not yet visible. and get thin
over smashes and crashes that never come.
The cause of this uncomfortable state of
mind is vsry often bad digestion, nervous
depression, or general debility. Health Ia
hopeful. Things looked blue to the bright

A Grocer Commits Suicide on the
Ocean Beach.
Christopher F. kemmer, grocer at
Twenty-socond and Howard streets. mys-
teriously disappeared last Monday morn
ing and his wife and friends believe that
he committed suicide.
The indications point that way, and it
Is probable that one of these days his body
will be washed ashore on the ocean beach.
Monday morning ne hitched up his horse
and buggy, and told his wife that he was
going TO drive out through the park to the
Cliff House. As he did not return that
night his wife became alarmed. A search
for the missing kemme was instituted,
aud it resulted in the finding of the horse
and buggy about two miles south OF the
Cliff House.
kemme's coat vest and hat were found
in il. rs well as an empty whisky bottle.
AS Kemme. vino had been ailing for long
time with heart troubles, had of late threat
ened to end his life, his friends arrived at
the conclusion that he drank the whisky
to nerve himself and then plunged into the
breakers.
kemme was a good-natured German
about IS years of age. He had bean keep
ing grocery at Twenty second and How
ard streets for about four years and was
well liked.

about sixteen inches high. of Commerce.
There Will be some changes In it and M any
minor details. The figure of Commerce
is of heroic size. 1t is from the CLAY
statue now being made that the bronze
figure will be cast.
The sketches OF the two statues were
made yesterday by CALL artist from the
unfinished work in Mr.. Happersberger's
studio.
The sculptor yesterday said he thought
the change in the plans would tend to give
grander appearance to the group. Be-
sides the two new figures will be more
CHARACTERISTIC than the bear and elk would
have been. He expects TO be able to have
the figure OF Agriculture ready for the
bronze molder In about four weeks.
The group Is now rapidly nearing COM
petion. Much of the bronze work has al
ready been cast. Molds have also been
made Of many of the remaining pieces.
