Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-07-06

The Fourth of July celebration in
Morris was success and the commit
tee which had charged of the celebra-
ton deserve the warmest commenda-
tion for their efforts. The parade was
an especially good feature except that
there was not enough of it. 1t
showed that very fine industrial
parade could have been gotten up If
more had interested themselves in it..
The grafton of the day, delivered by
Hon. Frank W. Murphy was well at
tended, but did not have the large au-
dience that it deserved. The grafton
was entirely historical and intensely
interesting, and Mr.. Murphy showed
himself to be an orator of the first
class. With pleasing and effective
delivery, and a master in the use of
choice and correct English, he pre-
sented in series of striking word
pictures the critical points of Ameri-
can history. His oration was built
around the theme of what our present
day liberty has cost, and so interest
ingly was this preseeted that he held
the audience in spite of the distrac-
tions incident to Fourth of July ora
tion. Patriotic music was furnished
by Watzke's orchestra in their usual
excellent manner.
The parade in the afternoon was as
before stated very good, and consist
I'd of the following:

material from which the dam will be built
will be mainly granite from the Saratoga
hills. from the Same quarry hat Furnished

Capitol at Albany.
The new dam. like that at Spier Falls,
will be a solid Piece Of masonry held to-
Rether by cement and as firm as the hills

duoe about 200 600 horsepower. about

Of the Mechanicsville plant, whose 1000
horsepower seemed remarkable ten years
ugo.
The accompanying map shows the rela-
tive positions Of the three big rover PLANTS,
the substations and the direction Of the
transmission lines. The power generated
ut Conklingville will be transmitted to
Spier Falls, where it will join the current
generated there and be sent to q substation
pear Saratoga,
The current at that roint is divided. A
major portion goes west to Amsterdam
and even as far as Utica and may Ultimately
reach Syracuse. Other portions Of the
current are diverted TO Troy, Albany,
Saratoga and intervening towns, residential
and manufacturing. "
Several factors have conspired TO make
the enternrise al Conklingville feasible.
One Of them ia the great stride that has
been made in the last ten and even five
years in the transmission Of electric current
10 large quantities for long distances with
a relatively small loss Of energy.
The other is the constantly increasing
demand for electric power for t~ranspoTta-
ton, manufacturing and lighting, Tho

GREATPOVERP PLANT PLANNED
lake FORTY MILES LONG TO BIZ
= WADE on THE S46ANDAGA.

II IL Expected to Produce 100000 HOrse-
4 Power and May Help Niagara to Oper-
ate the New York Central-Power De-
velopment Of the Hudson River Valley.
TROY, June 29.-Preliminary work has
been begun on a great power dam OIL the
Secandaga Itiver in the northern part Of
this State. When it Is completed q lake will
have been formed that will exceed Lake
George in size, and electric energy to the ex-
tent Of about 100000 horsepower will be
available. Then, also, the Hudson and Its
tributaries will have become the most pro-
lihe source OF electric power In this part Of
the country. with the exception Of Niagara
f; Falls. ,. 20
Already the big dam at Spier Falls, the
fourth largest in the world and probably
the. largest dam for electric power produc-
tion. is being taxed to provide energy
enough TO meet the requirements, while the
dam at Mechanicsville, the pioneer power
house on the Hudson, has long since passed
from the experimental stage in which it
found itself in 1897, when many predicted
that power could lot be transmitted to any
considerable distance with profit.
Attention has been called 70 the proposed
plant on the Sacandaga by an application to
the State authorities for permission to issue
bonds for So, $4,000 to finance the project.
The Hudson River Power Company. which
controls the Spier Falls and Mechanicsville
plants, lie also behind the present project.
The preliminary soundings in the bottom
Of the ~Sacandaga River. which are being
made. are for the purpose Of determining
the most advantageous location for the
immense structure Of granite and concrete
which it lie proposed to build within the
next or three years. In making the
soundings the builders are guided by an
expensive experience.
When the dam at Spier Falls was about
half completed the solid rock foundation
which was supposed to extend under the
entire bed Of the river suddenly failed
and an immense pocket in the rock an acre
or more in extent and seventy-fve or a
hundred feet deep was encountered. The
company sank a lot OF money in that
hole before it was finally cleared Of debris
and filed with masonry.
1t is planned T. build the new dam near
C~onklingville, which is on the ~Sacandaga
River near it's mouth. The ~Sacandaga
empties into the Hudson near Hadley.
Saratoga county, several miles above
Spier Falls.
The dam, it is calculated. will bo about
a mile long and 100 feet high at it's highest
point. The lake it will create will food a
vast area. wiping put several towns and
much valuable farming land
The lake, il is estimated. will be forty
miles long and from two TO three miles
vide, Lake George is thirty-six miles
long and from three to four miles wide.
The value Of the farm lands and other
property which will be wiped out makes
a $4,000. 600 bond issue necessary. The
