DELPHI, Ind. June 19.-The power plant
which is to be located at Horseshoe bend.
near the junction of the Wabash and Tip
pecanoe rivers. and about four miles west

says Mr.. Waesche, of Purdue University,
who was employed by the government to
take care Of the gauges which had been
placed in the stream to estimate the power.
The promoters of the plant had planned
to furnish power for Lafayette. Delphi,
Monticello, Brookston and all the nearby
own for their electric lighting, ETC., but
as three different prospective interurban
roads will pass this point, nothing will be
done until their plans have been completed.
The plant will furnish power enough to run
the roads for nearly one hundred miles.
If the interurban companies are successful
in getting their franchises, the power prob
ably will be used wholly for them. The
building of a road between Logansport and
Lafayette. through Delphi, is assured.
