George w. Corey returned to his
home on South Ninth street. South
Canon, last Saturday evening after an
absence of two years in Brazil, South
America, where he mas been employed
as construction engineer in the build
ing of the Rio del Large electrical
plant, the largest of its kind in the
southern hemisphere and one Of the
greatest in the world.
Mr.. Corey had only seen his family
once until his arrival here a few days
ago for a period of fve years, as he
had been in Old Mexico on similar
mission before going to South Amer
lea.
The great plant at Rio del Large is
of $4,000 horse power and is equipped
with the latest and most approved
machinery for the generation Of cleo
tricity, which it transmits to the city
Of Rio Janiero, SO miles away, for the
propulsion of street cars, the opera
ton of manufacturing establishments
and for general power purposes.
The plant was erected by English
and American capital and cost, with
its sub-stations in Rio Janeiro, the
sum of $4OyOOO.oOO-
Practically all of the machinery
used in the great establishment was
shipped from the United States and
the structural iron forming the core
of the building was made in Pittsburg.
The men in charge OF the plant are
Americans. although BraZilians are
employed in the less responsible posi-
tions.
In the foundation of the Rio del
Large plant, 1000 cubic yards of
cement were used and 5000 tons OF
structural iron was used in the su-
perstructure. which is more than 200
feet long. 100 feet wide and 80 feet

day night and sorts Of vegetation will
be greatly stimulated in consequence.
There had been no rain on Six and
Eight Mile creeks for nearly two years
until the precipitation Of Thursday
night, which gave the ground a thor
ough soaking and caused the streams
I, overflow their banks. The Florence

washed out in the vicinity Of Cramer
and trafic over that portion OF the
road was of necessity suspended until
repairs could be made. 1t was the
best rain that has fallen in that sec

will be OF immense value to the agri-
