UTILIZE THE POWER.
Marinette Capitalists Have q Prof.
ect that May Boom the
City.

Mar;nette, Wis, Dec. 90 Special. l.
The water power of the Menomlnee rlv-
en- which is hardly surpassed IN the
country, is soon to be harnessed and con-
verified into a giant motive power. The
first step towards a great undertaking
was made yesterday afternoon at the an
nual meeting of the Menominee River
Boom company directors, which controls
the power of the river from it's mouth
almost to It's source.
Isaac Stephenson of this place suggested
that a great dam be built at Chapple
Rapids, seven miles from Marinette, and
that the power developed there be trans
mitted here by means of electricity, as is
done III number of cities. Some OF the
largest concerns here promise to apply
this power to their factories and Menom-
inee capitalists also are interested in the
enterprise and will help it along as much
as possible.
The dam at Chapple Rapids would
have to be an immense. affair and will
cost nearly $4,000, it is believed. A
committee headed by Mr.. Stephenson
and with such men as Jesse Spalding, A:
c.. Merryman and Fred Carney will
make inquiries concerning the feasibility
of this scheme and report as early as
possible. Engineers are to be consulted
and if any encouragement is received
there will be plenty of capital to put the
scheme to practical test
The Marinette Gas, Electric Light and
Street Railway company, Marinette &
Menominee Paper company, Menominee
Street Railway company and other big
corporations are behind the project,
which is certainly an innovation in the
Northwest.
The Menominee river has been utilized
for logging purposes for half century.
but the timber is thinning out and the
lumber kings are looking ahead to the
time when they cannot depend on the
northern forests as source of revenue
and profit. If this plan materializes,
Marinette and Menominee will be vastly
benefited thereby.
