installed in order that the work at night
might proceed as smoothly as by day.
Reservoir Ten Miles Long.
The first improvement necessary for
the development of the waterpower is
a huge concrete dam, 700 feet long and
so feet high. This mammoth structure
Of stone and cement will rest on the
solid bedrock Of the river and will with
stand any pressure, that can be brou jght

depth of from so to go feet, flooding
back 10 miles to the Nevers dam prop

Improvement company by giving an ad-

the upper side Of the. building.
| The canal thru which the current is
to be diverted to the immense water
wheels will be 80 feet deep and 1875 feet
wide, thru solid rock. AS all excava.
tions for these improvements are made
in solid rock the difficulty Of the work
is infinitely increased. Hundreds OF

firing Of heavy blasts three times each
day. In addition there are stationary
engines, hundreds of tram cars, der

a galloway will be stretched across
the river to facilitate the handling of
material from both sides.
Spur tracks from the 500 and North

A total Of $500 cars of material is
already on the ground or on the way.

Huge warehouses, belonging to the vari-

charge Of the entire construction work.
A. ". Hunking as hydraulic engineer
and Lee II. Parker as electrical engi-
engineers. In addition, the Columbia
Improvement company has offices at
Minneapolis and at Taylors Falls. A
fine two-story office building has been
erected, together with superintend-
ent s house, warehouses and other build
ings. The powerhouse will be equipped
with the finest and newest Westing-
house apparatus, including huge cleo
trio travelling crane for the easy ham
ding of heavy machines, for additional
installation and for repairs. The dam
will have fifty-foot log sluice, with
an automatic trap. There is also to be
a fshway, SO that the ST. Croix anglers
need not worry over the loss of sport.
! The local end of the business will be
handled with the same completeness Of
| detail.
Dalles Will Not Be Disturbed.
There is no need for worry over the
| loss Of the scenery. The plant itself
will be worth going miles to see when
completed. The beautiful dalles will
not be disturbed. In addition, the lake
which will be created will be an addi-
| tional beauty spot, extending, as it
will, ten miles up river from the plant
and in many places quite wide.

dam. At this point there is dip in
the banks, which for the greater part
Of the way, are high and steep. The
construction Of this dyke, which is to be
Of concrete fifteen feet high, will pre-
vent all overflow.
The Huge Waterwheels.
The Platt Iron Works company will
furnish, under a subcontract, the four
large waterwheel units included in the
initial installation. These units are of
4 200 horsepower each, making the ini-
tia! development 1890 horsepower. Ad;
ditional penstocks and drafttubes will
be installed to allow Of the addition of
FOUR similar units of ,2OO-horsepower
each, doubling the initial development.
These will be added in the future as
needed.
The equipment of the building will
be of the most modern pattern and con-
struction turnout and will be as fol-
lows:
-Four 4,20o-h horsepower main horizontal
turbine wheel units, Victor type, direct
ly connected to four 2,500-kilowat Wes-
! tinghouse alternating current genera
| tors.
Two 225-horsepower horizontal tur-
bine waterwheel units for the direct
connection with two 100-kilowat West
inghouse excitor generators.
Electricity will be generated at the
powerhouse at 1900 volts and trans
formed for high potential transmission
to $4,000 volts, at which voltage it will
be brought to the local substation.
Twelve transformers will be installed at
the power plant and nine others at the
substation, where the high transmits
sion voltage will be cut down to a
suitable voltage for commercial use.
The substation,. as has already been
stated in 7 Journal, will be
located near the Minneapolis & Belt
Line railway, near the point where it is
crossed by Broadway street NE. This
building and it's equipment of trans
formers, modern .switchboards and cir
cuitbreakers will cost between $4,000
and 100000. .. -...[.. :
The transmission of power to the city
will be over the private right-of- way
purchased by the St. Croix Falls Min

T>AYLORS FALLS, the quiet little
summer town on the ST.. Croix
Il river, is busy place this sum-
For years the town has been the
resort Of thousands of visitors who
went to, see the falls from which the
the st. Croix. Now there is an army
of strange men in the town working
day and night to harness and put to
work the wonderful waterpower Of the
falls, which have been mere scenery.
Three times a day the usual summer
quiet is broken by the firing Of heavy
solid rock on which the gigantic dam
and power house are to stand. When
all is completed the product of the
energy Of the falls will be brought to
Minneapolis in the form Of electricity.
Attracted by the wonderful water
power of the falls and the ideal loea-
ton for the construction Of the heavy
engineering work, the st. Croix Falls
ceived the plan Of acquiring property
rights along the river with a view to
improving and developing the power
which for centuries has been going to
waste. and Of bringing the product to
Minneapolis
the expenditure Of nearly half a mil
lion dollars in acquiring fowage rights
above the proposed dam site. Twenty
one miles Of shore rights on both sides
the river have been purchased, includ-
ing also the Nevers dam property, sit
uated ten miles above the proposed dam
site. The contract for the actual i'm
provement work, to cost $3,000,000, has
been let to the Columbia Improvement
company of Boston. Every effort will
be made to deliver power at the sub
station to be built in Minneapolis, or
just outside the limits. by Jan. l, 1906

plans the Columbia Improvement com.

ago. Altho considerably delayed by

In the breezy style which character
ICES Oklahoma newspaper writing, the
event was described by the Daily
Oklahoman as follows:
"When Dan Patch came out upon the
track prepared to make the supreme eff
fort, and as the noble animal scored in
front Of the grand stand, there was a
ripple Of applause, tho for the most part
the vast throng was silenced by an ex-
element that knows not utterance until
the crisis has passed, It was one Of
those moments when there is kind Of
choking sensation at the throat, when
Inc tension IS 50 strong that the
quoted.
s At last, after twice scoring without
a getaway, Mr.. Hersey, in passing the
judges stand, looked up and said in a
