Few Republicans care how unpop-
ular President Roosevelt is making
himself, for they know he will not be
a candidate TOR the presidency again.
1t is to be noted, however, that the
Republican party itself is doing moth
Ing to give ofense to any interest.
After all the hullabaloo about the
rate bill, the railroads have gotten
exactly what they want, and these
great corporations fully understand
that they have really nothing to fear
from this Republican Congress. The
Beef Trust is in the same category.
The packers are furious at President
Roosevelt, but Congress isn't going
to nurt them any.

in Boston last Sunday. Six services

New Power Plant at Dam No. 4.

The Martinsburg World makes the
statement that plans for the erection
of a fine, large power plant on the
West Virginia bank of the Potomac at
Dam No. 4 by the Martinsburg Power
Company, which has been in process Of
formation for several months, has fin
ally matured to that point where the
work is about to be commenced, and
in few months this company will be
| in possession of one of the best and
most complete sources of electrical
power in this section of the country.
In conversation with DR.. S. N.
Myers, the president of the company,
the World man learned that all the
contracts, with the exception of that
for the pole line, have been awarded,
and that the entire work will cost in
the neighborhood of $135, 0O0-a big
and important undertaking.
The power company recently closed
a deal with the officers of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal, whereby the
Martinsburg people acquired right
to use the water from the Potomac not
required for the operation of the canal.
AS soon as this arrangement was com.
pleted, the work of awarding the con-
tracts was taken up, and the most i'm
portant of these have been given out.
The work of excavating and prepar-
ing for the foundations Of the big pow
er plant was awarded to Schof and
Brubaker, Lancaster, Pa, and the
work on this part of the contract will
be commenced next week. All the
foundations and other lower work will
be of concrete, while the building
proper will be of dressed stone. 1t is
expected that this part Of the work
will be completed in six months. The
contract for the hydr Iulic machinery
wasa warded to B. F. Croft, of Lancas-
ter, Pa, while the contract for the
electrical work was given to the War.
rem Electrical Manufacturing Co., OF
Sandusky. Ohio. The contract for the
pole line, which will be Is miles long
and cost about SIS, 900, has not been
awarded.
The new plant will be designed to
develop about 1000 net horse power,
which, with the power plant at Dam
No. 5. will give the local company an
aggregate of about 5000 horse power.
The additional power will probably
be very largely used by the limestone
and cement plants now in course of
development in Berkeley county, and
by the new trolley line to be construct.
ed by the syndicate represented by
Mr. Walker and Mr.. Thompson.
The time for the completion of the
new plant cannot, of course, be def
nitely fixed now, but it is the inten-
ton of those in charge to push the
work as rapidly as possible.
Four of the largest turbine wheels
made will be placed in the house at
Dam No. 4.
The whole work forms part of the
plans of the Martinsburg Power Go.
for the development of its particular
branch of industry in this section, and
when the second plant has been placed
in operation there will be ample room
in the three plants owned by the COM
pany to supply all the electric power
that will probably be required here
during the next 20 years. The total
investment will reach something like
100000.
