The Mccall Power plant.

There have been recently published re-
ports of work having been resumed at the
Mccall Ferry dam, but there is no truth
in them. The work already done appears
to be going to ruin. Some of the concrete
work near the dam has been washed out,
and the water at the island and on the
Lancaster county side is running over the
tracks of the huge movable derricks.
Eighty-fve per cent of the work has
already been done at a cost of S., 900. 600,
but no more money can be raised on ac-
count of dispute over the reorganization
by the bond and stockholders. F

in business for the last few years, was
always an interested observer of the

come an officer and director in the Call

Emma Stetson, who resides in the fam
ily home at Kingston, Mass. which the
Stetson family has owned for more
than 200 years Stetson was possessed
of considerable property.
