NEARLY done
Are the Two New Dams in
River Near Louisa.
Work at SaltpetsT and Chapman viii
Soon be Finished and Ready
For Use.

The dams at Saltpeter and Chap
man are rapidly nearing completion,
Many Of the laborers employed have
been discharged, and in few more
days, II the present fine weather
holds the work at both places will
be ready for inspection and recep-
ton by the government. The con-
tractors, the Ohio River Contract
Co., at Saltpeter, and James Skene
& Sons, at Chapman, have had
phenomenal weather during almost
the entire season, and they have
not been idle. Every hour that
could possibly be employed was uti-
lized. The result is two magnificent
dams, built according to the most
approved plans and in the best pos
sible manner. Uncle Sam does not
tolerate inferior work, and the work
done on Tug and Levisa forks, as
well as that done on the main river,
has been done honestly and we'll
II the Chief OF Engineers follows
the course for the Big Sandy which
he has indicated for the Kentucky
river, it will perhaps be long time
before this river secures another
appropriation. He says that after
the completion of lock 1S on the
Kentucky he will not advise the
building OF any further locks ant
dams on that stream. The mair
business Of that stream is thu
transportation of logs, and perhaps
he would say the same of the BIZ
Sandy.

The completion Of the dam at
Chapman will cause this community
to lose several very nice people. The
dam was built by the contracting
firm of James Skene & Sons, and
these will go to other points. The
NEWS is informed that Mr.. and
Mrs. Skene and daughter, Miss Ell
len, will go to Chicago, probably
next week, and will remain there
some time. 1t is possible that they
will move to Huntington. They are
popular people and will be much
missed in social circles.
1t is said that Frank Skene will
leave the firm at the close of the
season. He and his family will go
to St. Louis. Mr.. A l. Skene and
family will spend the winter in New
Orleans and Mexico. George Skene
and wife, who was Miss Nellie
Bromley, will probably winter here.

President Bamberger. OF the Salt
Lake and Ogden railroad, will leave
for the East next Tuesday for the pur-
pose Of making final arrangements for
the electrIncation OF his interurban
road between Ogden mad Salt Lake.
II Is reported that Mr.. Bamberger,

these cars will be straight passenger
coaches, modelled after the interur-
ban cars operating between Baltimore
and Washington, and will be hand
fomely furnished on the inside.
Each coach will have four 100-horse-
power motors. which will afford suf-
fioient power to haul trailers when tho
patronage requires Il. The cars Will
be here by July ready for use.
The rail bonding equipment is dne
next week, and three gangs OF men
arc already painting and setting the
poles, working south from Ogden,

ming There Will be no electric loco
r,otives The great Parker cut, south
of the Weber river has just been CON-
pleted, and the fill TO the north OF the
cut is about done. Soil and clay will
be laid on the sides OF the cut TO bind
the sand, and vegetation Will be grown
there to make the ground solid. The
overhead crossing of the Union Pa
clfic tracks Will probably be completed
In GO days, and then the present grade
crossing will be done away with.
Mr. Bamberger is in excellent spirits
