Concern Huge Dam Being Built
Across Missouri to Complete One of
Greatest Achievements in the West.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, Feb CONTRACTS have been let
by the Wash0e company for four Of the largest
induction motors ever installed in the west and
by July 10 of this year the mammoth 10, 600 ton
concentration Of the Washoe smelters at Anaconda
will be running with power supplied by the two
plants of the Helena Power Transmission COM
spany on the Missouri river near Helena, nearly
100 miles from Anaconda Each of the big mo-
tors will weigh over forty tons, the weight of
the entire equipment when ready for shipment
from the A1lis- Chalmers company of Milwaukee
being approximately 259 tons.
The motors to be installed are said to be the
largest in the world with the exception of those
at Niagara Falls. The placing of the order for
this gigantic electrical equipment marks the
beginning of the completion Of Improvements
involving an expenditure Of $75O,OOO. In addi-
ton to supplying power for the smelter and
street railway at Anaconda; the improvements
now under way WILL when completed, make it
possible for the mines Of Butte to utilize Mis-
souri, river power. &@4
1t is probable that all the compressors in the
big mines Of this district will be operated by
electricity, as well the planning mills, ma
chine shops, etc., in fact, everything possible
with the exception of the hoists. The opera
tors do not deem 1t advisable to use electricity
as motive power in the deep shafts here under
present conditions, and for that reason the
steam hoists will not be replaced. ...
a second auge dam is being built across the
Missouri river near Helena. The water will be
backed up by the dam, so that it will form a
lake near the capital city several miles in
width. The waters of the lake will approach
within eight miles of the city proper, whereas,
they are now more than twelve miles distant.
The transmission of 10000 volts Of electricity
| distance Of near 100 miles is herculean task
and the pole line and accessory equipment, when
completed, will be one of the wonders of the
western country. sa--r MI

portant matters discussed at the recent an

Merchants association was the catalog house
question, and the best plan to meet the growing
Of these concerns in the east.
In accordance with the action taken at that
convention the executive committee will hold a
meeting at Sioux Falls next week for the pur-
pose of investigating the merits of what is
known as the South Dakota plan for combating
the catalog business. This plan was formed
by men residing In the state who had made a
special study of the question. Among other
things it provides for the organizing of the
merchants of a state into sort of cooperative
association, with state supply house from
which only such goods as are handled by the
regular catalog houses be ordered, such
orders to be sent in purely for the purpose of
filling a competing BILL
The merchants who belong to the cooperative
association will be provided with a catalog,
printed especially for use in their efforts to
secure orders from those who are recognized
as patrons of the regular catalog houses. On
the report Of the executive committee Of the
South Dakota Retail Merchants association will
depend the success or failure of the plan. The
report will largely determine the course to
be pursued by the association, and will have
its effect other retailers associations all
over the United States. If the movement
proves to be possessed Of the elements of sue
cess, it is expected to become generally adopted

THREE RESIGN; CITY HELPLESS
Citizens of Greenwood, Wis, Find
Themselves Without Government.

GREENWOOD. WIs.-Citizens here are much
excited over the fact that this city is prae-
tically without q governing body. The council
is composed of the mayor. four aldermen and
one supervisor. and it requires two thirds Of
the members ship to constitute quorum.
Two aldermen and the supervisor have filed
their written resignation with the city clerk,
alleging as a reason that they are tired Of
continual criticism the part Of those opposed
to them. and that they felt offended at the
recent action Of the council in allowing a bill
for SID during the absence of two of the
members who opposed 1t. - .
In consequence of their resignation it is i'm
possible to secure a quorum Of the council even
for the purpose of accepting the designations
Of the aldermen ans supervisor. All that the
remaining members can do is to meet and adjourn
from day to day.
The city is in the midst of public improve
ments, water power and electric lighting plants
being partly completed, and the finishing of a
concrete dam Black river. Altho these I'M
provements were Endorsed at three elections by
popular vote of four to one. there has been
made to find fault and hinder the work.
