is constructed entirely out OF concrete
over a steel frame. The waters OF the river
will pass through the water wheels under
the power plant and empty into series OF
arches which will convey them back into
the stream below the dam. The water
wheels are grouped five on a shaft and
there are six groups each one driving n
large dynamo capable of delivering 1000
horse power. The power generated will be
consumed by manufacturing concerns in
South Bend. Elkhart and Mishawaka, and
will be led directly from the machines 10
the transmission line at pressure of 1900
volts and from there distributed among the
different factories. Several of the large
dynamos in the power house will always
be held i'm reserve, and while the minimum
or low water capacity of the dam will be
about 5000 horse power it will be possible.
on account of the abundance OF water I'm
the river at all times, TO produce as nigh
as r. 900 horse power.
The dam means much TO the manufac-
turers of the northern part of the State.
rendering them independent OF the coal
mine and its labor troubles. as well as rail-
road strikes and consequent delays i'm fuel
delivery. 1t furnishes power cheaper
than steam and cannot fail To stimulate
productive industries and the growth of ad-
jacent cities i'm wealth and in population.
Enough power will be had from the one
dam to support city of over 10000 inhabi-
tants and it is the intention of the power
company to build two more dams at differ
ent points along the river. OF the other
dams one is already in course of construc-
ton at Berrien Springs. Mich, but at the
present time, on account of litigation. the
work is progressing slowly II will be but
a question of time, however. until the cities
along the banks of the st. Joseph river
will be benefited by the combined power
from three immense dams, giving in all
about $1,000 horse power. or enough power
to operate all the manufacturing estab-
lishments in city of 100000 people.
over 100000 feet of lumber have been
used in the construction of the Hen island
dam and the switchboard in the power
house required over four carloads OF ma
terial. The company spared no expense
in developing the great project after their
rights had been fully determined by the
courts. No such construction exists else
where in the State of Indiana or, in fact,
anywhere i'm the central West. The entire
work of building the dam and constructing
the power house, as well as installing the
electrical machinery, was performed by the
firm of Sanderson d Porter, OF New York
CITY, under the personal supervision OF Mr..
William III. Lang. whose ideas entered
largely into the plan Of construction.
All the power generated by the Ten island
dam will be consumed in the cities OF South
Bend, Elkhart and Mishawaka, but par
ticularly South Bend and Mishawaka will
be benefited by the enterprise.

coal or railroad strikes, large manufacture
ing concerns will flock to the northern
Indiana city and it is the purpose of the
promoters of the power company to make
South Bend the Mecca of manufacturing
concerns in the middle States.
START OF THE UNDERTAKING.
On Feb. 26, 1900. the company which un-
dertook this enterprise was organized
under the name of the St. Joseph and Elk
hart Power Company, and thousands of
acres of land that would be overfiowed by
the waters of the river were purchased
outright at an enormous expense The
moving spirits in the power company were
James Du Shane, the promoter. of South
Bend; Martin V. Beiger, and L. A. Saun-
ders. of Mishawaka. and Charles II. Ten
ney. New York capitalist. AS soon as the
company began to construct the dam and
to buy up the land necessary for overflow
purposes, they were opposed by a corpora
ton known as the Indiana Power Com
pany, which proposed TO build a dam
farther up the liver. The Indiana Power
Company claimed that the dam being built
by the ST Joseph and Elkhart company
would damage their project to the extent
of several hundred thousand dollars, and
rights long and stubbornly in all the courts
of jurisdiction in the State, but the COM
pany which is at the present time con-
structing the dam won every suit. The
Supreme Court of the State upheld the de-
, cision of the Circuit Courts, and the United
States Supreme Court refused to interfere
with the finding. The litigation covered
period of over two years, and was carried
of the st. Joseph and Elkhart Power Com
pany was settled in the end
The construction work of the dam was
begun before the decision of the Supreme
Court was announced, and the building of
the dam alone, it is said, will cost over
100000, exclusive of the power-house
and expensive machinery. The founda-
ton of the immense dam, which is to har-
ness the current of the river and convert
it into electric power. is 40 feet wide at the
base, and over 80 feet wide at the ton
1t is constructed of piles driven 20 feet
into the bottom of the river, on which rests
a crib work of heavy timber, which will be
filed with gravel and stone. The strength
of the dam is so figured that IL four times
the highest flood ever known i'm the St.
Joseph river were 10 pile over il there
would still be no question of its safety.
The floor OF the dam, which is laid upon
the bottom Of the stream IL 40 feet wide
and over 400 feet long, and the crest of the
dam is "a feet above the floor. Four feet
OF water will constantly be flowing over the
apron of the waterway, and the water in
the river will be raised over 20 feet higher
than its present level. The dam will cause
an overflow Of hundreds OF acres Of round.

their success will be short lived is to be

upon to witness speed tests on the turf be-

Some years ago there were a number of
equine ads. racing. These ads. flock mostly
to the trotting turf, although the running
turf has far too many long named gallop-

Northwest. 1t was to be long trip in
the winter time. He wanted n place where
he could sleep. for he says there is little
opportunity for slumber on the average
truck. After making some careful in
designations he found that the big buffet
cars of the train had large coal boxes under
them for carrying fuel for the cooking
ranges. This solved the problem. When
his opportunity came he quickly climbed
in on top of the coal heap in one of the
boxes. and the train soon started on its
journey.
Il had with me considerable bread and
a bottle of water" he said in describing this
memorable experience. II spread myself
out on the coal. which had moved around
to suit me and then placed my things
where l could get at them easily. 1 bored
a little hole with my knife in the side of the
box for air and SO that j could peep out.
Well, l rode over thousand miles in that
coal box and three times the colored por-
ter of the car came down and shoveled out
coal from under me, making ME sink a lit
tie lower each time. When i reached the
town where l wanted to get off, I didn't
see how i'm the world / was going to do 1t,
for all that coal was under me- and the
top of the box had been shut down and
locked. Well, / thought over things for a
while and then j took chances on the coll
ored porter being superstitious. So when
he came to the box L stuck my foot down
through the coal just far enough for him
to see it when he opened the door. He
jumped back with yell of terror and rum
Ding 10 the conductor told him there was
a dead man a ghost something, in the
coal box. There was great excitement
you can bet. and several men came at once
and shoveled me oat. / played the part
of a dead one until enough coal had been
removed for me to get through the opening
and then / slid down and out, black from
head to foot. There never was such an as
tonished crowd of men in all the world be-
fore. L had to laugh when / looked at
their faces, but 1 didn't stop long to enjoy
the joke. / lit out for all Twas worth
and left my amazed audience standing
there beside the car trying to make out
what sort OF person 1 was anyway. That

One hears in Washington. especially from
small persons in big places, a great deal
of scornful talk about ''those newspaper
men," Cheap officials, suddenly arrived
artistocrats, and society sapheads are most
conspicuous in this form of dissipation,
chiefly, we imagine, because il is a habit
which puts no strain upon the moral or
intellectual equipment of the individual.
The habit, however, is more general than
might be supposed. Otherwise good and
honest men indulge themselves in it much
too frequently and really welI-meaning
nincompoops speak slightingly of the news
paper men because they have heard some
solemn ass or some perturbed hypocrite
and humbug set the poor example.
OF course, from this point of view there
are no impostors in high places, social or
official Any reeking ward hummer who
is paid for his uncomfortable services with
a titled place under government; any sue
cessful pirate in commerce, usury, or spec
ulatiOn; any parasite of some millionaire
who has contributed richly to the fund; any

men are fraudulent, objectionable, inferior,

But for those pestiferous and unprincipIed
and vulgar chroniclers of unpleasant facts
the world would be a far more comfortable
place for everybody with something to con-
ceal.

TYPESETTING MACHINES.

editor and typesetter. but the opposition
to Mergenthalers has practically subsidized.
The introduction of the machines, each of
which does the work of little more than
three men has in reality benefited the
printers Work has increased many fold
and the history of labor-saving devices
the world over has been repeated They
do not throw men out of employment in the
long run, but increase the consumption.

ent time, including daily and Sunday issues

papers are the best proof of the beneficial
effect upon printers from the typesetting
machines Nearly twice as many printers
are employed in their composing rooms

glance at the Sunday Post or the Saturday
Star tells the story of what machines have

IL the machines would have been widely In

Ten years ago there were $500 printers

that the cost is so small is that the society
is at expense after the persons are
placed in q home, except for transporta-
ton. All of the money needed for carry
ing on the work is donated by the various
church societies. with some individual sub
scriptions.
The work of the young peoples organiza-
tons covers great deal of ground and the
motto, THE children for the churches and
the churches for the children" explains
the work that is being done. The manner
i'm which the work is carried on is worthy
of note. Mr.. Hoff goes from one church to
another getting the members of the young
peoples society of the church interested in
the movement. After that all of the money
comes from the church and the members
help to find worthy persons to send TO the
cool country during the summer. So well
has the work been systematized that few
unworthy of aid ever secure help.
FRUITS OF THE WORK.
After the names have been sent to Mr.
Hoff inquiry is made concerning homes for
them for few months. 1t is oftentimes
the case that the supply of applicants for
an outing does not equal the number of per-
sons willing to care for those who are not
heat and dust of the city at the hot season.
When ii is known that the family taking
child desires one permanently the organi-
zation places one i'm the home that can be
adopted II he proves satisfactory and likes
the home. In cases where children are
placed in permanent homes the child is
adopted by law and the responsibility of
the organization ceases.
A different plan is followed where the
children are returned to the city. After
giving them q nice rest the Young Peoples
Outing Organization keeps watchful eye
on them and sees that they do not lose
interest in the church that made 1t posi-
bic for them to spend an enjoyable sum-
mer. These children and parents are always
appreciative of the kindness and few do
not continue their interest in the church,
thus make the fruits of the society twofold,
a pleasant and happy outing and making
better boys and girls and men and women.
