GIGANTIC POWER PLANT
FOR HOMESTAKE MINES
Million Dollar Project Is Launched in Black Hills
Five Miles of Conduit to Be Constructed.

The Homestead Mining company,
the mainstay Of the northern Black
Hills, has just commenced another
mammoth undertaking that will in
volve the expenditure, of over 81 ,OOO,-
900, and will require at least a year
and a half under propitious circum-
stances to complete.
The new undertaking, on which the
actual constructive work will start in
thirty days II the weather proves sea
sonable, is the building of an electric
power plant on Spearish Creek, at a
point about seven miles from Lead.
This plant will have a maximum ca
pacity of 1000 horsepower, which is
to be utilized in the big mills of the
company in that city, in the mines
and at any other point where it may
be needed. The company estimates
that it will require the services of
200 men in carrying out this project.
Immense Conduit Projected.
This is the second largest undertake
ing that the company has had from a
single piece standpoint, ard it's details
are just made public. One of the prin-
cipal parts will be the building of an
intake some FIVE miles below the plant,
connected by a conduit, the result be-
ing to leave the creek bed dry for that
distance. For several months past the
legal department of the company has
been engaged in securing the rights
and necessary steps in the project,
while men have been stationed all
winter on the creek, securing data as
to the flow and movements Of the
stream, temperature, etc.
The conduit will consist of eight
tunnels varying from 1000 to 1000
feet in length. In their construction
five horsepower electric drills will be
used, the drills to be operated in two

from it will outcrop an enormous num-
Der Of simple and complex suggestions,
by which thousands of baby lives now
sacrificed through ignorance, and care
~lessness annually may be saved.
Ne health record has ever been
able to even approximate the ire
mendous number Of children who die
each week, Or month because of un-
sanitary conditions about them; be-
cause of the ignorance of young par
ents or because of the lack of insti-
buttons to care for those to whom a
cup Of milk or a fve-cent piece Of ice
might have spared. It is on this ac-
count that Lampson hall at Yale has
been turned over to the authors Of
this new movement.

WOMAN CAN'T HOLD JOB
superintendent Harris Of louisiana Holds that
Fair Sex should Mind Children

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 8 1909
7. H. Harris, State superintendent
of education, holds that a woman can
not be a parish superintendent of ed
ucation, and he has given this opinion
to Miss Lizzie Mccall, Of Lake Arthur,
the newly elected superintendent of
Cameron Parish, and the only woman
who holds the distinction of ever being
elected to the position Of superintend-
emit Of education. He says that under
the law, in his opinion, a woman can
not hold this Office, but to settle the
matter the question has been put up
to the attorney general for an official
opinion, and a final decision will be
received from the highest legal Office
in the State. If Mr.. Harris opinion
is upheld by the attorney general,
Miss Mccall will have some difficulty
in retaining her position, and if she
attempted, a decision would probably
be gotten from the Supreme Court.
If the attorney general holds that a
woman can occupy the Office Of parish
superintendent there will be no ques-
ton about Miss Mccall continuing her
position.

FEDERAL CLERK ASKS
FOR $50 RED TAPE
GIVES HIN $4,000

New York, Nov. l0.-A special
from Washington to the Globe says:
The way official red tape helps the
policy of economy in the government
is illustrated in the case Of Joseph G..
Fennell, clerk of the Federal District
and Circuit Courts Of the Eastern
District Of Kentucky. By a decision
of the comptroller of the treasury
disallowing his claim for $50 mileage
in attending court, Fennell stands to
make $4,000 a year, which he would
not have claimed if he could have had
the mileage. When Congress passes
a law for the holding of a district or
circuit court in any particular city, it
also provides for the court machinery.
Sometimes only a clerk is allowed for
each court city. The allowance for
the Eastern District of Kentucky was
one clerk for the District Court and
one for the Circuit Court in each
city.
The law provides that court shall
be held in six cities in that district
Frankfort, Jackson, Catlettsburg,
Richmond, London and Covington.
Frankfort has a clerk Of it's own, but
when it came to the selection Of
clerks for the other five cities the
court gave the whole ten jobs to Fen
nell. So he is clerk Of five district
courts and five circuit courts. For
each job he is entitled under the law
to retain from the fees collected 3d.
800 a year, besides expenses of the
office. The remainder, if any, is to
be turned into the treasury.
Now, it appears that Fennell got
these jobs, but did not realize what a
nice thing he had. He thought all
he would be entitled to retain of the
fees would be $1,000, the full com
~pensation Of one district court clerk
and one circuit court clerk. has
mnch as he was obliged to travel
from his home, in Covington, to each
of the other cities during the term
of court he made out a bill for mile
age. It amounted to about 500 and
in due time came to the comptroller
of the treasury for approval.
