B:ron Dam Nearing Completion.

\ visit TO BiIon the fore part of the
week Indicated forcibly that there has
been no cessation of activities in the
big industrial beehive up the river.
Progress in construction was evident on
every hand. The big stone walls
continue to grow upward and outward
or are entirely completed. The massive
piles of timber reach higher and have
been extended far across the river.
Tons of rock have been transported
from their natural resting place to seats
within the timber foundations of the
dam. Labor is still master of the scene
and the Captains of Industry, the fore
men and the bosses, the masons, brick
layers, carpenters, transfers and
common laborers all bend their energies
toward one grand result in shaping
nature and its elements to powerfully
drive the wheels of, mans ingenuity.
And your reporter can say, to the
credit Of the twin cities laboring popu-
lation so generally employed at Biron.
that there are no drones in this
industrial hive. All are hustlers and
the past two months of work have
wrought mammoth changes in the
scene. Interesting hours can be spent
at Biron among the workers, remember
ing the old fable of the Indian that
'its nice to see white man work"
The big dam is nearly completed.
On Monday afternoon it lacked only
$50 feet to have it reach across the main
river. The current was running through
this $50 feet and it will be necessary to
build a Golfer dam above, changing the
course of the stream, when the last end
can soon be finished. Foreman Died
