RAPID PROGRESS ON DAM

Wall Rising From Concrete Foundat-
ion in the Connecticut.
The power house which is to shell
ter the electrical apparatus which will
turn the great power Of the Connec-
ticut river into a form which will be
available for use as far off as Clinton,
Mass, as well as in Brattleboro, and
nearby places, is now assuming a def
mite form and the visitor at the dam
site with a little Imagination can see
how the completed structure win ap-
pear. There is a mass of solid con
crete so feet long and containing in
all 10000 cubic yards of concrete. All
but about 2OOO cubic yards Of this are
already laid and the remainder of it
will be put in place as fast as the car
penters can build the plank forms in
which the concrete is placed.
Inside the abutment wall the con
crete, foundations of the power house
are to be seen. The two arches at
the left end and. the two at the oppos-
tie end have been cleared from the
trestlework supporting the plank
forms on which the arches were laid
and show how the lower side of the
power house will look when complet-
ed. The five central arches are still
supported by the frames. Back Of
each one of these arches, will be a big
wheel pit in which three vertical tur-
bine water wheels will be installed
Under ordinary conditions only the
two lower wheels will be used and
they will be capable of generating 90
600 horse power. In times of food
the water will set back into the outlet
of the wheel pits from the lower side
and will cut down the power of these
paired wheels by reducing the fall of
the water, which normally has head
Of "a feet In such times the third set
of turbines which will be set at a
higher level, will be put into commits
sion to keep the power up to normal
In times of very low water the flow Of
the river will not be enough to gener-
ate the full power Of which the water
wheels are capable but this will be for
only brief periods each year.
When the concrete on the other
three sides is completed a force of 20
or more will be put on. In all $780,
600 brick will be required These
brick are now being brought in by the
carload and transported by team.
Heretofore the workmen employed
have been largely Of a less skilled
class but from now on the number OF
skilled men will steadily increase un
I'll all who remain are the electricians
and mechanics who will install the ma
chinery to convert the power of the
Connecticut and send it far and wide

DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD.

Mr.. Cannon In his letter said: II
did not prevent the house from con-
sidering the Littlefeld bill or voting
upon II, and I will add that had no
power to prevent the house from do
ing either, for. as Mr.. Littlefeld says
in his letter TO me OF Sept. IL, there
are no rules, there is no committee
on rules and there 10 no speaker that
can prevent majority OF the house
from taking up any measure and act.

In spite OF our advanced civilization
We are still novices In the matter Of

much inequality between men and wo-

women OF the aristocracy and women
OF the bourgeoise. Those extensive
rights have just mentioned were only
accorded to ladies' Of quality. How
