Plans to Develop Immense Water
Power at Tacoma

Plans to Develop Immense Water
Power at Tacoma.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 20.-a.n immense
electric power house, next in size 10 the
Niagara Falls plant, is to be built this
year in the Stuck valley, ten miles east
of Tacoma To carry out the project
the White River Water Power company,
with capital of $2,O00,O00, has been in-
corporated under the laws of New
Jersey.
Water power is to be secured by tap
ping the White river below Buckley,
from which by a simple conveyance of
ditch it will be carried to Lake Tappa,
near Sumner, which will be utilized as a
storage reservoir.
The lake is three miles long, third of
mile wide and 100 feet deep From
the end of the lake, by hume over
natural grade, the water Is to be di-
verted to the edge of the bluff overhang-
ing Stuck valley, giving fall of four to
five hundred feet At the power house
will be located generator capable of
developing $4,000 horse power, not
counting the surplus power stored in
lake Tappa, by use of which $4,000 horse
power can be developed.
1t is calculated that Tacoma and Seat
tie can use 5000 horse power and other
towns 5000. leaving $4,000 horse power
to meet the natural growth of the two
cities An expert sent here by the West
inghouse company has pronounced the
scheme feasible

The 24-page holiday number of
the Worthington Globe, issued last
week deserves special word of
praise. It was we'll arranged. quite
we'll printed, brim full of good read
ing, and, best of all. well filled with
bright, readable advertising matter.
We make special mention of this lat
ter fact simply to emphasize the fact
that no matter how faithfully an edi-
tor may work to make his paper
readable it is not a representative of
the town in which it is published in
case it lacks liberal display of adj
vertising. What would the public
think of a paper that appeared minus
a heading and date line? 1t would
be very natural for them to suppose
that it represented no particular sec
tion or locality. What then can be
the impression created by paper
which is not liberally patronized in
an advertising way? Why simply
that the business men of the town in
which it is published are very few
and the ''small pumpkins kind and
that the town itself is backsliding.
We are pleased to note this enter
prise on the part of our fellow editor
ard the display of advertising con-
tanned in the issue is also gratifying
as it carries with it practical proof OF
the enterprise and push Of our busi-
ness men. We beg to be allowed tc
heartily congratulate both Mr.. Blair
and his numerous advertising pat
rons upon the handsome manner in
which they celebrated the holiday
season.
