tn BIG WHITNEY PLANT

MI. William Whittam of Washing
last week with a large party of dis
,tinguished northern capitalists i'll
speeding the mammoth hydro-electric
development of the Whitney company
at the arrow Of the Yadkin. In talk
ing of the work there Monday, Mr..
Whittam said:
Power from the Whitney plant will
be ready for delivery the first Of the
year. The work on the huge dam, the
spillway and the power house is near
ing completion S 10 much so that only
the gaps need be closed. he canal,
which is approximately four and a
half miles long and will convey the
water from the dam to the
power house, is now in the
advanced stage of construction which
characterizes the other sections. Ex-
ira effort is being made to bring it up
with the others and have them all
equalized. Two shifts are being use1
one during the day employing about
1000 men and the other at night en-
ploying about 500 men. The most of
those working at night are engaged oil
the canal which is being rushed at
an amazing rate. Beyond the perad-
venture of doubt, the plant will be
ready for operation by the first of
| January.
The Whitney Company own H.
900 acres of land stretching on either
side Of the river and controls three
| fine power sites which are capable Of
| producing, when fully developed about
| 100, 900 horse power of electricity. The
| power site now nearing completion will
| furnish between 10000 and 45, GOO horse
| power. A more ideal location could
| hardly be imagined.
The Yadkin river courses through
| a succession CT low lying hills, witch
| confine it 10 g current of narrow width
| hence the nc-le. The Narrows.' With
| out personal examination it is difficult
| to convey a correct idea Of the i'm
| mensity Of the work and its solid char
| acter.
THE dam covers 1000 feet between
| abutments and is So feet wide at the
! bottom and tapers to a width Of Il
feet at the crest. 1t is built Of granite
from the company's quarry and is laid
in regular courses.
"The spillway is constructed on the
same general plan as that of the dam
proper. 1t is a quarter OF a mile long
and is as substantial and lasting as
the hand of man can make ii. The
canal is four and a half miles long
and will have a normal depth Of water
Of Is feet. Its s~hallowest place is 20
feet while the deepest cut is SO feet
in depth and more than 400 feet wide
at the top. In making the excavation
no less than 1000, 900 cubic yards of
earth and rock were removed. The res
voir capacity reached from 2 miles
above the lam through the canal to
the power mouse.
The power house will BE- Of con-
crete so feet wide by 300 feet long
and nearly 100 feet high. 1t will
contain six generators, five of which
will be installed at first. Each unit
will consist of one 5000 horsepower
vertical turbine, and on the upper
end of the turbine, shaft generators
will be mounted. The revolving parts
of each unit will weigh 20 tons, tbs

for himself; it is an unjust burden inn
posed on the Denver Jewish community,
burden which it can not possibly carry.
During the month Of March sixty new
applicants for aid appealed to our Jew
ish Relief Society. Most of them were
consumptives. No individual or organ
ization Of the cities from which they
came held itself responsible for their
maintenance. The limited income of our
Jewish relief agencies can not suitably
provide for the poor consumptives who
come to Denver Of their own accord or
who are advised to come through the mis-
directed kindness of charitable friends.
Every city that shelters its own incur
able consumptives performs an act Of
mercy and sacred duty.
WILLIAM S. FRIEDMAN.
The Jewish outlook., 1907-04-05
Appalling Conditions in Russia

In it's attitude to the Jewish question
Russia is divided into two sections. The
first is entirely passive, and forms the
majority of the Russian people, includ-
ing all parties of the Left Il do not speak
of individually. The second, the active
section, comprises the originators of the
pogroms, those who take part in them,
those who view them with satisfaction,
and over them all the Russian govern
ment.
Last year everybody suddenly began
to believe that the Revolution, or the
Republic or the Douma would grant full
rights to the Jews and accord them com
plete liberty. This belief in their
speedy redemption gave heart to the
Jews and developed in them a hitherto
unknown inclination to defend them
selves. Accordingly, they began, in all
walks of life. to protect their honor.
They actually disregarded all fears Of
persecution and pogroms in their hope
for the future.
The Russian people and the Russian
Government likewise believed in COM
plete equality for Jews This fear of the
coming emancipation Of the Jews prob
ably gave to the "Active Section" the
fiendish idea of drowning the freedom Of
the Jews in blood during the October
days. The latent anti-Semitism OF the
government which was thereby provoked
and melted, assumed frightful and al
most incredible dimensions during the
period of these butcheries. The fact that
the Jews knew how to defend their honor
acted to some extent as a check on the
"Active Section.' The knowledge that
Jewish freedom was coming, although 1t
increased their hatred awakened in
them certain degree of respect for the
Jews.
It soon became apparent to everyone
that the Douma would be dissolved and
that the Russian government was still
more powerful than the Revolution. 81
multaneously the feeling prevailing
among the Jews underwent change,
and the tactics Of the 'Active Section :

run away with the gods without paying
for them. A Jewish dealer in the mar
ket-place fears that the Russian laborer
who is passing by will take up the basket
containing his entire stock-in-trade,
eggs, or fish, and for ''fun," scatter the
contents and render them unsaleable. A
Jewish student is afraid when walking
through the streets that he will be struck
bv some of the "Genuine Russians. A
Jewish maiden is afraid if when walking
at night through a dimly lit street she
dishonored by them. -,
The acts of violence committed on
Jews, especially in places where self
protection is unknown, are almost in
credible During the months of June,
July, August, September and October of
last year, I have personal information
Of 100 cases of outrages on Jewish girls
and women, whose ages range from ten
to sixty-fve. This is happening at pres
ent in South Russia without pogroms
and in tranquil times. Acts Of violence
are not confined to women. Men also are
maltreated.
1t has, however, to be noted that in
JOWnS III JHe governments OIL MlHSk,
Wilma, Grodno and elsewhere, where self
protection is or is believed to be resorted
to, we do not hear any longer of cases
such as I have described.
At the beginning Of last year there
were few cases of violation of women
in some towns, such as Nowi-Dwor Bers-
towiz, Pruschani Government Of Grod-
no), Masir, Lahoisk, Neswig, Lunino,
Drascho Government Of Minsk) but
they were quickly suppressed by the self
protection. In several towns the threat
to kill the criminal or to burn down his
house was sufficient to prevent outrages,

took a different form.

took different FORM
The light-hearted hopes Of the Jews
in their complete emancipation were
quickly dispelled; more perceptibly than
ever before they began to feel their
weakness and they lost all heart. They
were no longer clear-sighted, and dread
ing to bring on themselves even greater
misfortuncs they ceased the opposition
which they had offered to their enemies.
It is said that the middle classes
among the Jews in Russia no longer be-
lieve that only self protection can be of
any avail. But the Jewish people in
Russia has not lost it's confidence in
armed self protection. The question is
deeper and more serious. The hope has
disappeared Of better future and Of be-
ing able to defend their rights.
At the same time the "Active Sec
ton "of the Russian people comprehends
that the fear Of Jewish emancipation has
no foundation, that the Jews are pow
erless and all the talk about self-protec-
ton is but a pretty fable. A certain
change was also noticeable in the tactics
of this section at the beginning Of the
pogrom activity.
Formerly pogrom was always pre-
pared with great caution and in secrecy
At the present time one cannot but mar
vel at the publicity of the pogrom agita-
ton. The constant threats of pogrom
have become so unbearable, the expect
ancy of pogrom has so unnerved the
Jews that in many places they actually
pray to God that the pogrom may hap
pen, so that an end may be put to their
tension
The relations Of everyday life have
also changed. Acts of violence on purely
anti-Semitic grounds are becoming more
serious and more frequent, and are now
keeping the Jews in perpetual feeling
Of dread.

KUROKI ON YACHT
THAT WAS in PERIL

| New York May i7.-Robert A. c. Smith
OF the New York Yacht club won the en-
thusiastic praise OF Baron Kuroki yester-
dap by fine display OF seamanship in a
desperate emergency. and perhaps saved
the hero or the Russo-Japanese war from
injury or death In what seemed likely II
be a serious collision.
Baron Kuroki and his stan were the
guests OF Commandant Hugh l.. Scott OF
the West Point Military academy. and
made a trip up the river in Mr. Smiths
private steam yacht Privateer. A dense
fog not only enveloped the scenic beau
ties OF the rivers banks in an lmpene-
trable mantle. but also covered the sur
face OF the waters and was the cause
OF the thrilling incident in which the dis
tinguished guests participated. The Pri-
vateer was making all OF the speed pos
sible under the conditions and was near
ing Peekskill when Mr.. Smith caught
sight of barge dead ahead. Assuming
personal charge of the yacht. he sent a
hurry signal to the engine room for fun
speed astern.
The changing OF bells was followed by
a shock which seemed for n moment to
be tearing the vessel TO pieces and the
yacht shook violently for an appreciabe
length OF time as the powerful engines
struggled TO overcome the momentum.
Many OF the visitors. who were in the
cabin. were pale with fear, as they
jumped 10 their feet Kuroki however.
semeed perfectly unruffled. and went out
on deck. where he watched every move
that was made. When the Privateer.,
came TO a stop within 10 feet from the
barge he turned quickly toward the bridge
and remarked 90 Mr.. Smith:
THAT was fine seamanship. congrat-
ulate YOU"
Upon arriving at West Point the party
was greeted with a salute OF IL guns and
Col. Scott. with his military stan and an
escort OF cavalry gave them welcome.
The visitors were escorted 20 Memorial

then accorded the Japanese Hardly had
