NEXT TO THE NIAGARA
POWER.

messed in the-eastern portion Of Ban
nock>county, Idaho. which is an am
azing engineering triumph, accord
ing to the descriptions:
At cost of 50, 100000 the Tellu-
ride Power company has completed
the first unit of its gigantic hydro
electric power plant on Bear river,
near Grace, in this county, and the
tremendous resources of the plant
will be called on this week to supply
power TONNES in Idaho and Utah.
The Grace plant is second only
to the Niagara falls plant in inn
portance in this country. The
present installation is capable of
generating 10000 horsepower,
although the power house is de-
signed for $4,000 horsepower.
When completed to the utmost
GIFTS capacity, the plant will rep
represent an expenditure includ-
ing transmission lines, OF &c.
100000.
The Grace plant is located
twelve miles south of Soda
Springs. This is the greatest de-
velopment Of hydraulic power be-
tween the Mississippi and Califor-
MIA rivers. 1t is said to be the
greatest, with the exception OF
Niagara Falls in the world. In
the building Of this plant a steep
pipe line, five and a half miles
long, with pipes eight feet in di-
ameter, has been constructed.
The cost Of the pipe alone was
$75O,OO0.
The plant utilities the natural
flow OF Bear river and the water
stored in Bear and North lakes,
under a net head OF $40 feet.
The station building is designed
for $4,000 horsepower. The first
pipe line, now installed, furnished
10000 horsepower. Duplicate
pipe lines will be built as the de.
mand for power increases.
With the vast resource power
at the Grace plant, it is believed
that it will be a long time before
the company is compelled to
build its seventh plant.
The company's right to Beal
lake and North lake was acquired
from thegovernment, after a con
test which extended over five Of
six years.
In these lakes is impoundeC
the entire run-off of the Bearrive
watershed, which formerly
flowed into Great Salt Lake anC
evaporated.
The limit Of these impoundine
rights is estimated at 3O,OOO,0O>
cubic feet.
Bear lake is twenty miles Ions
and seven miles wide, part of i
being in Utah and part in Idaho
North lake covers thirty-si,
square miles.

Young Lewis seems to reciprocate

In an effort to stife the girls infatua-

that Lewis had cast her of, declaring
that he was through with her forever

girl. Just wait and see. He'll come

Later the girl declared he would

When Mayor-elect Breitmeyer gets

er to investigate the situation and
prepare plans for a settlement OF the
traction problem, ne will find the De-
troit United Railway ready to give
information and to negotiate. That
is the announcement of President
Jere G. Hutchins.
"Barlds has always been willin.'
said President Hutchins Wednesday
morning. I'VE shall be glad. at any
time 10 give any information We have
for the enlightenment of the public"
Would you be willing to have the

ed from month to month. They are
In the reach of anybody who is desir-
Gus Of studying the questions invol-
we'd. Electric transportation is not a
local matter, purely, because 1t has
now advanced to a plane where IL
spreads over every part OF the civil
ICED world. A correct understanding
OF every phase Of the subject can be
gotten, not from us alone, but from a
thousand sources.
THE methods and costs of electric
transportation are as well known and
as attainable as those with regard to
the manufacture of calico or steel
rails"
On the subject OF rate OF fare, Presi-
dent Hutchins has nothing to say. II
would seem from the foregoing that
the D. u. r. is prepared to wait until
the street railway commission has alb
sorbed a detailed mass of information
as to cost factors before trying to dis
