POWER FROM MISSOURI RIVER.
New Plant Near Helena viii supply Power
To Butte Smclters.

HELENA, Dec. 10. - Helena, it is
claimed, developes more electrical
horse power than any other town in
the United States, the towns around
Niagara Falls alone excluded. An.
other boast Is that the electricity Is
transmitted q longer distance than is
the power generated in any other
plant in the world. The plant nov

The'new plant being built by the
Helena Power Transmission company
will be in operation before February l.
It IL 20 miles from Helena on the Mis-.
souri, river. and will back the waters
clear up to the Canyon Ferry dam, q
distance Of l6 miles. In designing the
dam, NJ. H. Gerry, the engineer in
charge, who also built the Canyon
Ferry plant. devised some new fea.
lures which give the dam strength
which could have been secured in no
other way. Steel entered largely into
its construction. 1t is 90 feet high and
connects the sheer cliffs Of each side
Of the river by . rip of concrete. The
plant will generate approximately TO-.
600 horse phwer, which has all been
contracted for to be used in Butte,
more than 100 miles distant. The pole
line is up, and nothing remains to be
done but to close the gap In the dan
and allow the lake to ill, which, by
the way, will take longer than two
weeks.
Some idea Of the vast size of the
artificial lake thus created may bt
gained when 1t is realized that fol-

MRS. LESLIE CARTER.

Mrs. Carter's life on the road was totally different from that of any other star. She knew no pleasure but her acting; she lived by 1t, in it, and for it. She scorned private cars, of which stars, who are able, are wont to boast She did insist upon a twelve section Pullman in which she occupied the Stateroom. She reserved the two sec tlons nearest her for her three maids her maids were always considered be- fore her actors-and allotted the re- maining sections to the other members of the company. The most Gmport- ant member was placed nearest her end 0 fthe car and the least import ant as far away as possible. None but ''real actors" were allowed in her car
 Her clothes were unpacked, pressed, and aired, after which she interviewed Ter business manager and inquired how strong the syndicate was in that particular town, how the papers treat ed her, copies of which were marked and placed upon her table. After finishing the routine business with the manager and the papers, she wrote numerous letters. The rest of it, and every other day, was spent in study and reading-her popular novelist being Gertrude Atherton At six-thirty a carriage took her to the theater, where she dressed for the first act, and reat- ed.
 After the third act, her manager brought in the box-of1ice statement. al- though this was unnecessary, for her shrewd eye had ''sized up the house before the first act was over.
