An important step was reached in
the construction of the Watab dam
Friday. For the past seventeen
months, the company has been pump
ing water from the Golfer dam into
the river. At ; O'Clock Friday
afternoon this huge undertaking was
finished.
The dam is now ready to furnish
water power and it is believed that

of March,
The building of the dam at the Wa
tab mill was begun nearly year and

dam for the center section was begun
last July and the construction work
on the center dam proper was begun
about two months ago.
The men discovered granite ledge
in the center of the river and this will
make an excellent foundation for the
dam.

We have been unable to learn the
name of the little ten year old boy who
was thrown from bob sled Monday
night, on the east side, and sustained
a badly fractured arm as a result.
The little fellow was "hitching on"
and in some manner lost his hold and
in falling sustained the injury. The
driver has been severely censured by
people living in that neighborhOod
for allowing the little fellow to lay in
the road helpless. A lady living in
the neighborhood happened to find
the helpless little fellow, and took
him to her home and later to his own
home where medical and surgical aid
was Immediately called. Aside from
the injury which will cause the boy
great pain, no evil effect is anticipated
but had it not been for the chance
finding of the little lad in the road,
further injury might have resulted.
