Generate Electricity.

Falls at Kaukauna to Be Utilized to
Generate Electricity.
One of the largest electric power
plants in the state will be built at
once by the Green Bay & Mississippi
Canal company. 1t will occupy the site
of the old Badger paper mill at Kau-
kauna. The plant will generate be-
tween 1000 and 5000 horsepower.
The power will be transmitted to cities
within a radius of 100 miles. 1t is
the intention of the company to build
the plant before soliciting patrons.
When in operation it will be in posi-
ton to furnish power for street car
lines in any of the neighboring cities,
as we'll as power for manufacturing
purposes. The electricity will be gen
Grated by water power, eight horizon
tai wheels with a total capacity of
1000 horsepower doing the work. 1t is
estimated that about eight months will
be required to build the plant which
will greatly exceed in size that of the
Wisconsin Traction, Light, Heat and
Power company at Appleton.

RAILWAY COUP FAILS.
Mayor Discovers Track Is Lowered
in Spite of Council.

in Spite of Council.
Waiting five years after its request
was refused by the La Crosse city
council. the city railroad company has
lowered it's tracks on Forest avenue
two feet, only to be caught in the act
by Mayor w. A Anderson and ordered
to replace the grade.
A sharp incline on the avenue en-
route to the Oak Grove cemetery end
of the line made the movement OF
crowded cars difficult, and five years
ago the car company asked the coun'
Gil for permission to lower the tracks
about two feet. The request was re-
fused on the clam that the beauty OF
the avenue would be marred and the
safety of pedestrians jeopardized by
the change. Two weeks ago the
street car company sent crew of men
to the place and within day had the
tracks lowered.
Mayor w. A. Anderson discovered
the change and appointed a commit
tee to investigate and recommend &C
ton in the matter. Street car officials,
it is said, denied knowledge of the
change, and the committee has recon-
mended that the council force the com
pany to restore the tracks.
