royal began at Sault Ste. Marie yesterday when the
st. Mary's Power Company filed a suit in eiect =
ment against the Chandler Dunbar Water Powar
Company, and the Edison Saut Electric Companv
for a half interest In certain private land claims

The purposes Of the company are the con-
sruction, maintenance and development OF water
power for manufacturing on the shores of St
Marys Falls. The pieces OF land in contention are
held by the Chandler Dunbar people under pur-
chase and tax title for about ten years
BY many the contest Is looked upon as the initial
step for the requirement OF the immense water
power of the falls Dy the Clergue people who al
ready control the Canadian rights. and who are
building the big water power canal through the
city OF Saut Ste Marie. The harmony between
Mr.. Clergue and the Chandler Dunbar people has
been strained since the question of maintaining the
upper lake level was brought up by the Lake
Carriers Association, with the result that the
Clergue company was obliged to construct remedial
works shutting off large cross section to equalize
the volume Of that will be taken through the
new power canal Naturally. the Chandler COM
pany objects any interference with the supply Of
water TO which II Is entitled in its canal
and hence the fight The Chandler company s
holdings considered worth anything from $780,
600 to 81 10000 in prospective value.
