Big Electric Boom for Readsboro

Big Electric Boom Tor heausDoro
1t is probable that Readsboro will
be made the location of one of the
largest electric regenerating plants in
New England. p. G. Carpenter OF
North Adams has sold to w. S. KEEL
ley, of the Boston General Electric COM
pany, Howe's Pond and over 800
acres of land, situated in Readsboro.
The building of an electric plant at
Readsboro has been in the air for
some time, and this transaction gives
foundation to the rumor that the Cen
eral Electric company intends to es-
tablish large regcnerating plant at
that place, and get the power from
Howe's pond. The pond is about
two miles from the ''city," and covers
100 acres. A dam about 10 feet high
at the point from which the pond dis
charges would make it cover over 200
acres. The pond is situated between
two hills and is fed from never-failing
streams. Surveys show that the water
would have fall of about 700 feet
from the pond to the probable location
of the plant. 1.-THE plan materializes,
the water would be taken in an acque-
duct to the generating station. The
volume of the water attainable and
the great fall would give almost UNI
limited power. 1t is the idea to gen.
crate electricity at Readsboro and
transmit it to North Adams, Shell
burne Falls or any adjoining town
for power or lighting purposes. Mr..
Carpenter retains the wood on the
land and is given two years to remove
it. Should this plant be established,
it would make the Deerfield valley
the industrial rival of the Hoosac
valley.

names and addresses OF the three copies OF
this letter, and they are asked to do the

address to Miss Brown that she may know

Although this may seem small thing,
yet any one breaking the chain will in
volve serious delay to the enterprise.
The person receiving No. so will send
the letter to Miss brown without making
any copies as that ends the chain.

Now Is the Time.

The benefit to be derived from good
medicine in early spring is undoubted but
many people neglect taxing any until the
approach OF warm weather, when they
wilt like tender flower in hot sun.
Something must be done to putty the
blood, overcome that tired feeling and
give necessary strength. Vacation is ear
nestly longed for, but many weeks, per-
baps months, must elapse before rest can
be INDUCED in. To impart strength, and
to give feeling OF health and vigor
throughout the system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilia. 1t seems
perfectly adapted to overcome that pros
tration caused by change of season, CHI
mate or life, and while It tones and sus-
tains the system 1t purities and renovates
the blood.
