THE NEW DAM.
Jackson Milling &c. viii Expend About
$4,000,

George W. PauluS Of Centralia, one
of the leading stockholders in the
Jackson Milling Co., was in the city
to-day, making arrangements for the
construction of the big new dam and
power house next summer. The COM
pany has just about decided to build
oil the solid and permanent features
OF the dam out Of concrete. This is
a new phase of dam construction in
this section: and the company is maxi
ing an exhaustive study Of the prob
lem before going ahead. They have
been advised by some Of the leading
engineers of the country to build of
concrete, and the company is now adj
yertiSing for 500 tons of bOulderS at
$3.50 per cord. The new dam will be
built several hundred feet south of
the old one; and while the level of the
pond will be maintained only at its
present height, the new location OF
the dam will give an increased head
Of several feet.
\ large brick power house will be
built and equipped with a complete
battery of water wheels and electric
dynamOs. The North Star mills,
owned by the company and now oper.
ated by direct water power, will be
run by an electric motor after the new
plant is finished, and it is also eX
pected that the company will have q
large surplus Of power to sell.
When Mr.. Paulus was asked as tC
whom the company expected to sci
power, he replied, "Well this seems tC
be a pretty good point al which tC
establish some manufacturing indus
tries that could use the power if The
factories already here cannot utilize
it," The dam and powerhouse to
gether will represent an outlay O
about 5000 when completed --Stev

HOME TALENT AT OPERA HOUSE.
Damon and Pythias" We'll Represented on
the Stage, but Audiences Not Large.

| Local talent, under the direction
and leadership Of Ellis L. Kroner,
contracted a hard study for the anna
| teur when it selected the play damon
and Pythias'' for reproduction before
twin city fOOtlights. Lines of so much
meaning, speeches sc elaborate and
| digniied following one upon the other
without a break of humOr or merri-
ment are really only for the realm Of
a Forrest or a Downing. They ap-
pTOaCh perfection as the result of
master efforts on the part Of trained
set Of professionals, not otherwise.
So much the more, therefore, is credit
due all our young people who took
part in the above play for its excellent
rendition at Grand Opera House last
week. The characters were exceed
ingly we'll presented, all friends of the
amateur actors being agreeably sur
priSed with the work done. In this
respect Damon and Pythias" sur
passed expectations.
The entertainment was given two
evenings, Thursday ana Friday, Feb.
2 and 3. The first evening a fair
number Of chairs were occupied at the
performance. though the house was
probably little small in comparison
with the crowds that usually give
their patronage to our home talent
productions. \ severe cold night and
a batch Of surrounding attractions,
some just passed, others coming, ac-
counts in part for this shortage. An
nOuncement was made that the play
would be repeated Friday evening to
be followed by free dance. The
second entertainment Jared slimly in
patronage, receipts taken at the door
being hardly equal to hall rent. The
young people had big time dancing
after the show anyway.
Among those n the leading roles
deserving of special mention were the
parts taken by Mr.. Kroner as Damon.
Chas. PodaWiltz as Pythias, Otto
ROenius as Dionysius, Miss Grace
Pratt as Calanthe and Miss Celia Nc
Carthy as Hermion. Guy Miller.
Coole Cotey, Walter Dennis, Samuel
Grover and little Lenore Mccarthy
each gave to their respective minor
parts, yigOr and earnestness that
detracted naught from we'll rounded
ing the entertainment pleasing to all
who attended.

thusiaStic in their praises Of the
delightful evenings made possible for
them through the enterprise and good
taste of the Ladies Aid society of the
Catholic church.
The sacred concert in Forester hall
Sunday evening was attended by
about 125 persons. smaller crowd
than expected, owing to the extremely
cold weather. Those who ventured
out, however were fully repaid by a
very fine entertainment, the particu-
lar winning number of the evening
being Signor Lauletta's harp solo,
'NOcturne". The other numbers
were no less gems.
On Monday evening nearly 400 per-
sons were included in the audience at
Grand Opera House. Again the young
artists captiyated the listeners and
elevated them from the common road
of daily thoughts TO the higher avenue
of happy harmony. The following

HOWE HIGH SCHOOL,
Now Represented OF. the Daily Cardinal,
Published at Wisconsin University.

Published at Wisconsin University.
By reason Of its good standing on
the accredited list at the University
Of Wisconsin, our Howe High School
is now given regular space for CORE
SpOndence and NJ t IS in the Daily
Cardinal, the official paper of the
University. This is nice recognition
and all students in Grand Rapids are
proud Of the fact. Paul PhllleO was
voted by the High school as our
correspondent to the Madison publica-
tiOn and his first items made their
appearance in the Cardinal of last
Thursday, Feb, ?. Paul is doing the
office justice. The members of the
school are not sorry tflat they voted
him this duty.
At special session of the Forum
last Friday afternoon the regular
meeting for that evening was ad
jOurned one week to give the debaters
on the consolidation question more
time for preparation. AdjOurnments
under such circumstances are not
good policy and should not occur in
any case other than the sickness of
all who take part on the program.
More than one visitor interested in
this debate walked UP to the school
house that cold, stormy evening only
to be disappointed. The debate comes
off tomorrow evening, Feb. 10. The
question is live one, "Resolved,
That it would be to the best interests
of Grand Rapids and Centralia to
consolidate" Balance of program
will be as announced in this column
last week.
Something sadly needed at the
High school just now is a more eff
cient library on American history.
Friends of the institution could make
many hearts glad by any donation
along this line. 1t would be very
acceptable to the school.
The first year latin class is now
tranSlating in Viri ROmae. The boys
and girls are walking along in this
work finely.
First year German pupils are en-
gagged in translating Super German
reader. Glass conversation is con-
Quoted in German.
Per the plan of observation study in
pedagogy, the writer was lately pre-
sent at the 4th grade recitations in
arithmetic under direction of Miss
Pray. One feature that could not
escape the notice of any visitor in
that room is the rapidity and accur=
acy with which those little felix's
handle numbers. The work would be
creditable even to High school
students.
Hereafter no instructor in the High
school will take part in Forum pro-
grams nor have right to hold office
or vote, thus leaving the affairs of the
society entirely in the hands of its
members.
4 new air pump was added to the
laboratory apparatus few days ago.

The AEaeld0ft Imperial orchestra is
