100000 WATER POWER
Corporation Formed Near Cedar Falls
to Utilize Water Pawer for Electric
Inter Urban Line-May Run Mill

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Jan. 21.-Articles of In
corporation were filed yesterday with
the county recorder by the Cedar Falls
and GAINESVILLE Power Company. The
authorized capital stock is 100000, and
must be paid in by the middle of Feb
ruary. The incorporators and officers
are Frank Anderson, president; Aquilla
Walker. vice president, and Roger S.
Clay. secretary and treasurer. The
first and last named are Cedar Falls
resident and owner of the rights con-
trolling the water way in the Cedar
river at that point.
The incorporates are somewhat retf-
cent about the purpose Of TIL company.
There is an old Touring mill at James
vile, which was operated by water
power until ten years ago, when the
high water took out the dam. The wa
ter power at this point is fully as good
as 1t is at this place, or any where else
in the course of the Cedar river. 1t is
not generally believed that the COM
pany intends to operate this old mill,
but the most likely plan is to use the
power for the manufacture of electrici-
ty. When the Rapid Transit Company
constructed the line to Denver it was
suggested that this water power be
utilized to make electric current for the
line and have the line go thru James,
vile, as we'll as Denver.
Mr.. Clay, of the company, is practi-
cal electrician, and it is evidently the
plan Of the company to establish an
electric plant at GAINESVILLE, conduct a
current by wire to Cedar Falls and sell
the power thus made to concerns want
ing power. The cost of construction
would be very little. and 1t is believed
by those interested that q great power
could be secured from the river by
damning the stream and building bikes.
The country around GAINESVILLE is in
habited by progressive lot of farm
ers, who would use electric lights IL Sc
cured cheap, and would run their feed
grinders and other machinery by cleo
tricity IL 1t could be done at small cost.
Lights could be furnished the city of
GAINESVILLE at small cost, and altogether.
the field for electrical operations is
large. considering the size of the place.
The company will begin to develop its
plans within sixty days from date.

Special to Times Republican.
TT. Dodge, Jan. 21.-The body of Mrs.
Oscar Martin, living near Dayton. Web
ster county. was found hanging from a
hog chute on the farm of her brother
in-law, Axel Elm. one mile from her
home this morning. The knees of the
dead woman barely cleared the ground
and the act was clearly one of suicide.
Mrs. Martin left letter in which she
asked her sister. Mrs. Elm, to care for
five small children. Mrs Martin has
been demented since the death OF her
husband last summer. She has often
threatened to take her life, but no i'm
portance was attached to her state
ments.
She belonged to one of the most re-
speeted families OF Dayton and her
tragic death has caused a sensation
there. The family is well to do and the
children will be well cared for by rela-
tives.
