BIG PLANS.

Special to the Register.
MARTINSBURG, W. Va, July o.
John A. Livers, of Gettysburg, Pa, who
! recently constructed an electric plant
in Harper's Ferry, was here to-day.
He stated that his company, which is
now lighting Harper's Ferry, proposed
to build a plant which would enable
them to develop electricity and trans
nit it to Martinsburg and Charles
Town, w. Va, Hagerstown, Bruins
wick and Fredericksburg, Md, and
other towns. The water power which
can be developed at Harper's Ferry
from the Potomac now is enormous.
The company has leased from the Har-
per's Ferry Pulp Mill Company four
water wheels which equal 5000 horse
power. The scheme is to build a plant
capable of converting this power into
electricity. Martinsburg and Charles
Town, it is understood, being nearest
to Harper's Ferry, will be first con-
nected and power and light furnished.

GRAIN TRANSFER HEAVY.

The grain transfer station at Nc
Mechen, in charge of Morris Fender
CAST, has been taxed to it's utmost ca
pacity the past several weeks. During
the month of June the thirty men
transferred 5000 bushels of corn
alone. This is equal to nearly TOO cars
and is a wonderful record. At present
there is a scarcity of men at the
place, or more grain would be trans
ferred. Mr.. Pendergast has every ia
cility for handling the cars and the
men are able to make good wages.
They are paid SO much on the car, and
many of them make as high as 1925
per day. The corn is shipped from
the west to eastern points, and has to
be transferred at McMechen principal
ly for the reason that the cars are not

Mr. DATz SUCCEEDS MR.. FARMER
New Chairman OF Billiard Commits
tee of the Catholic Club.

Because Of the great demand made upon
his time by his profession, Mr.. Joseph
Farmer. of the Catholic Club, has re-
signed as chairman of the Billiard Com
mittee, and William DATE has been APP
pointed to fill out the ~unexpired term. Mr.
Datz lost no time in making necessary
improvements IN the department placed
in his charge. All the tables have had a
thorough o~verhauling. The three pool
tables have been recovered and reset, so
that they are now as true and as service
able as new tables. The two Axe billiard
tables have been refitted with the fastest
cushions on the market and recovered, so
that they are now as good as when first
placed in the clubhouse, six years ago
Mr.. DATE has also decided to replace the
5x1o table with a Axe table. This change
will be effected next week. Arrangements
are now under way for a handicap billiard
tournament. The entries will open short
ly and play will probably begin after the
holidays. A pool tournament will also be
opened as soon as possible.
Entire satisfaction is expressed on all
sides with the appointment of Mr.. DATE,
and he will have the support of the cue
handlers of the club in all his efforts.
