OWN THE JAMES RIVER
Virginia Electric Railway and De-
Ve|ppnsnt CO. in Control
ENTIRE WATER POWER THEIRS
A Big Purchase Made from The Chssa-
psake and Ohio.
PAPERS TO BE SIGNED MONDAY.
On This Day the Railroad People
Will Transfer All Their Rights 10
the south-slde Power-yIanchcste1
Mills Not to Re Intcrfered with.

The Virginia Electrical Railway an
DEVELOPMENT Company Will. on Monday.
acquire from the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company all Of the water
power on the Manchester side OF the
river.
IL can be stated on absolute authority
that the deal has been practically com
pleted already. Monday is the day set
for the papers to be signed. 1t is UNDER
stood that the consideration Is sScGco.
The negotiations for the possession of
this immense water-power half OF James
river) have been going on for some time.
Yesterday they approached completion.
and now there Is no doubt Of the transfer
being made on Monday, as stated above.
In fact, the Development Company has
already assumed control The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Company, during their
possession Of this property, employed
Waterman TO look after their interests
on the south side. This man has been
under the control Of Mr. f. b. Isaac. en-
gineer of water-power for the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. on Wednesday last
gentleman representing the Development
Company came TO the Waterman. Ho
showed him papers which satisfied him
that the Chesapeake and Ohio Company
no longer held the property. This gem
tleman told him, thereupon. 10 look to
the Development Company's office for
orders hereafter.
LEsSEES RIGHT INTACT
The following plants on the Manches-
ter side use James-riyer vater-power:
The Manchester Paper-Twine Factory.
the Dunlop Flour Mnls the two factories
Of the United Cotton Mills Company, the
-four mill of Todd & Justis. and the
STANDARD Spike Mills. None of these
lessees of water-pOwer will be disturbed
till their leases expire.
An officer Of one Of these companies
expressed to a Dispatch writer yesterday
the fear that there was little trouble In
| sight for them in case the river became
| very low and water was needed by tho
Development Company.
1t was learned later that his fear was
groundless.
The property acquired by the Develop
ment Company is very extensive. The
upper lire is about opposite the plant OF
the Old Dominion Iron and Nail-Works,
on Belle Isle. The lower line is opposite
the lower end of Mayo's Island. The dis
lance between these points is about
mile and a half.
HAS ALL THE POWER NOW.
The Development Company now owns
practically all the .water-power OF the
James at Richmond. The power on thu
| Richmond side of the river was acquired
| some time ago.
The news OF the contamination OF this
deal will be a surprise in many quarters.
So silently have the negotiations gone on
that few have suspected that so large
| piece Of property was on the eve OF
| changing hands.
