LOWER DAM IS OUT
Water From Below Cuts Under Piers
and the Structure
Succumbs.

The lower dam, four miles below
Ladysmith on the Flambeau river gave
way Thursday morning when about
sixty feet of it went out.
Our information is that the trouble
came from the water below the dam
cutting the foundation from under the
concrete piers. An immense eddy has
prevailed, producing the result stated.
The result will be a suspense of the
operation of the lower pulp mill while
the dam is being reconstructed.
The loss to the concern and delay in
the operation of the pulp plant are a
matter of regret. However, the sus-
pense will be made as brief as possible.

INDIAN STEEL PLANT
AMERICANS GET CONTRACT FOR
$1o,ooo,ooo WORKS.

NEW YORK November 1s.-Americans
have obtained the contract. for the de-
signing and engineering work for one Of
the largest iron and steel plants ever
built outside of the United States. These
plants, which will cost nearly $4,000, 600.
are to be located in British India, where it
various iron and steel products will be less
than one-half that of the most favored
American steel-making concerns.
This will eventually mean that besides
making India independent of outside sup
plies of rails, etc, the projected works will
prove most formidable competitors, with
not only American but European and Jap
anese steel interests.
The contract has been awarded to Julian
Kennedy. Sahlin & Co. limited of London
which was incorporated about three years
ago for the purpose of relnodel1ng, on
American lines, the British iron and steel
plants. The company is composed of Ju-
liam Kennedy, the Pittsburg blast furnace
expert, and Axel Sahlin, who was trained
at one of the plants Of the Maryland Steel
Company. ar. Sahlin is now here to max
arrangements for the Nplacing of contracts
for equipment to be installed in the Indian
works
The name of the new concern is the Tata
Iron and Steel Company. The plans en-
brace the erection of two blast furnaces,
with a minimum annual capacity Of 12o-
OGO tons. There will also be four basic
open-hearth steel furnaces, with an initial
capacity of Is, 600 tons each; a blooming
MILL rail and beam mill, also three mer-
chant bar mills machine shops, iron foun-
dries. etc. The annual imports of iron
and steel, including railroad material into
India have averaged about 10000 tons
for The last ten years. The present pro-
duction in that part of the world IS barely
80, utU tons OF pig iron and castings.

ire The City Council has made an APP
preparation for a building at the James
town Exposition, and the Chamber or
Commerce Is endeavoring, to raise a fund
OF $4,000 for advertising purposes. The
campaign has been going on for several
months, and only $1,000 Of the sum re-
oured has been subscribed, and the cam
.spaign drags along without snap and thus
far with little promise Of success.
What is the matter? Do our people
think that the city is big enough? are
they satisfied? Do they not wish to at
tract capital and desirable settlers! DO
they not wish to expand their trade! or
do they think that Richmond can get
along without advertising? Other cities.
larger than Richmond, are not so egous-
tic. Baltimore, our nearest competitor at
the North, is going to make the most OF
the jamestown Exposition. and If we are
not up and doing she will get greater
benefit from it than Richmond will. Rich
