A UNIQUE PLANT.
New Power Plant At Amherst, N. s.
Only One Of Its Kind In America.

Amherst, N. s., July 31.-Today
marked an important day In the indus
trial history of Nova Scotia, the occa-
sion being the formal opening OF this
big power plant at the Chignacto, n
s., coal moines. Lieut.. Gov. Fraser
turned the switch which set the ma
chinery In motion, presenting practi-
cal Illustration of the possibilities OF
this new source Of power. 1t Is the only
plant on the American continent where
electrical power is generated at the
mouth of the mine for distribution. The
power Is six and quarter miles from
the transforming station at Amherst.
Owing to the 12,00a voltage Of this
line the construction work has been
somewhat out of the ordinary in regard
to high insulation on the pole line by
which the power is transmitted. The
power is supplied by a self-oiling en-.
CINE of 800 horsepower. connecting will
Il generator of 100 kilowatt capacity
The engine has a speed of 800 revolu
tiOns per minute, and the plant Is oper
ated by four return tubular high pres
sure boilers. Many prominent engineer
were present from all over Canada.
The following telegram was ready:
Orange, N. j., July 81. 1907.
II. J. Logan, Chairman Board of Com
/ mittee:
Permit me to congratulate your boar
and Senator Mitchell on the Inaugural
ton of the first plant on the American
continent for the generating of elcc
tricity at the mouth Of coal mine ant
the distribution Of the same to distant
commercial centers. 1t is a bold at
tempt and never thought it would b.
first accomplished in Nova Scotia
where my father was born over one
hundred years ago.
(Signed.) Thomas A. Edison.

VENEZUELA'S ACTION
On American Claims Seems to Daily
Along As Usual.

Caracas, Sunday, July 11.-Shortly
after the presentation Of Sec. Roots
second note to Venezuela, rcitcrating
that the United States insists on the
arbitration of the five American
claims and saying that President Cas-
tro's answer to the first note present.
cd in March is unacceptable to the
state department. Rudolf Dodge, MAN.
aging director in Venezuela of the
Orinoco corporation. presented a men,
orial to the Venezuelan Congress petit
tioning that body to reject certain
contracts given to J. A. Salinas and
DR.. V. BetancOurt Aramburu. The
latter contract is now owned by the
Orinoco Lumber Co, a Maine corpora
ton with offices in New York. The
grounds given were that the contracts
conflict with the Fitzgerald concession
owned by the OrinOcO corporation.
The petition was introduced In the
Senate and joint session Of both
houses Of Congress was called to take
action thereon. The memorial was re-
turned to the petitioner as being out
side the jurisdiction of Congress. The
affair created intense interest, because
it is a new precedent for a foreigner
to petition Congress.
After drawing up an outline OF
Venezuela's answer to the second
American note President Castro sud-
denly left for Puerto CabellO on
Wednesday last.

But Number Of Railroad
Accidents Still Too Large.
Common Carriers Must Deliver
Private Cars TO Their Owners.
Such Cars Count, However, Ia
Figuring Distributive Shares.

Washington, July 31.-Shocking rail-
road accidents occurred In the Ohiteu
States during the three months endeo
March 81, according to Accident Bull
lctin No. 90, issued today by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. While the
fatalities are somewhat less than dur
ing the previous three months, the rec.
ord yet is appalling.
The bulletin shows that the totai
number of casualties to passengers and
to employees while on duty during the
three months was 20,563 as compared
with 2O,944 reported in the preceding
three months The total number of pas
scngers and employees killed In train
accidents was 421. and the number in
jur,d 1920, so less in the number killed
and 20 less in the number injured, as
compared with the preceding three
months.

dcrailments was 1891. of which 1923 col
lisions and 229 dcrailments affected
passenger trains. The damage amount
cd to s3,533.1 10.
The number of employees killed in

compared with the quarter last preccl-
ing or with that of one year ago.
An important decision relating to
car distribution was announced today
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. the opinion having been rendered
by Commissioner Clark in the cases of
the Ohio Railroad commission against
the Hooking Vale Railway and the
Wheeling E. Lake Erie Railroad. The
two cases were argued together The
basisi of both complaints was that the
defendant lines unjustly Disseminated
against the owners and operators Of
coal mines along their roads in the dis
tributiGn Of cars.
The commission held that carrier
should give to the owner or Jesse of
private cars the use of such cars and
should also give to coal company the
foreign railway fuel cars consigned to
it; but that such private and foreign
| railway fuel cars should, in the dis
trihu:icn of cars be counted against
the company to. which delivered and
| such company should not be given, in
| addition to such delivery share of
the system cars except when the num-
Der of private and foreign railway fuel
| cars Sd delivered to it in less than its
distributive share of the available cars,
| including system cars, foreign railway
| fuel cars, and so-called private cars,
in which event it should be given only
SD many OF the system cars as are nee
cssary, when added to the number OF
private and foreign railway fuel cars
assigned to it. to make up it's distribu-
tive share Of the total available cars,
including system cars, foreign railway
fuel cars and so-called private cars.
Defendants were ordered to distribute
coal cars after Sept. Is next on the
foregoing basis.
