A GREAT PROJECT.
To harness tho Potomac River In the In
terests Of Washington.

To harness tho Potomac River In the In
terests of Washington.
Ter many years there has been talk Of
utilizing the great water power at the
Great falls Of the Potomac. Recently
private owners Of land and water rights
there have taken steps looking to a de-
velopment of the vast power nature has
provided, and at the same time officials
OF the government have been investi-
eating the subject with a view to hav-
ing the government undertake the work,
the power developed to be utilized in
electrically lighting Washington and for
other municipal purposes.
A plan has been made. however, for
making use of the Little falls in the
same way, and the persons interested
have advanced their project SO far that
it may be that the Little falls will be
the first to be developed. This is a pri-
vate enterprise of great proportions. 1t
is proposed to harness the Potomac river
SO that abundant motive power can be
supplied not only for electric lighting
purposes, but for all the manufactures
that may be induced to establish them
selves here.
A wealthy northern capitalist is re.
ported as actively engaged in perfecting
preliminary preparations for beginning
the development of this enterprise. 1t is
said the work contemplated will require
not less than 81, 800, 600, and that sum
may be quadrupled before a satisfactory
result is cOnSummated The fpnre
named as the minimum cost is founded
upon a purely superficial estimate

The Maid,


When first he dons trousers,
There comes to a boy
A thrill and a feeling
OF wonderful Joy.
With hands in his pockets,
Complacent his smile.
He's aware Of one fact
His clothes are 1.-THE style"
When a woman dons boomers,
How altered the easel
What complex emotions
Are shown in her face!
She's no faith in buttons,
Her feet seem immense,
And she longs for the lee
OF q sheltering fence.
Possession but seldom
Contentment insures.
A woman who only
The trousers secures
Gets little but worry
For fear she may tear EN-
Cniess with them goes
A husband to wear 'em.
