BIG DAMS BIRlfal 7
Disaster Causes Heavy losS
at Fergus Falls--Electric
Light Plant Gone

Two hundred Thousand dollars in
property loss was caused at Fergus
Falls by the breaking Of several power
dams IN the Otter Tail river and two
men narrowly escaped death.
The first dam to 20 out put the
water works and electric light system
out Of business. These plants had
been completed only last fall, the dam
and machinery at the electric light
plant costing $50, 600. It is q complete
loss The two men at work in the
electric light station ruBhed up the
bank and had just reached a point of
safety when the huge dam was lifted
bodily from it's foundations and tipped
over. together with the power house
and all of the electrical machinery.
Following the breaking of this dam
the water came down with roar,
taking the Kirk dam, owned by
private parties. and spreading out
over the lowlands. Debris lodged
against the pile bridge on Mount
Faith avenue and the structure was
soon swept awav.
In the heart of the city few small
buildings were washed away. Base
ments were flooded in some parts of
the business district and loss in goods
will amount to thousands of dollars.
The flood also washed out part of the
Wright dam, which furnished power
to two large flour mills and an
electrical power plant, which supplies
power for number of factories and
other indus tries.
The city of Fergus Falls is negotiat
ing a contract with the Dayton Hollow
company, which furnishes lighting
ana power for Wahpeton, for the
furnishing OF lighting and power for
that city. The company has offered to
furnish all the electricity wanted at
that city's switchboard. At meeting
Of the city council much opposition
resulted over the proposition of max.
ing ten. year contract, it being the
opinion that five years was long
enough, and the matter was referred
back to committee for further con
ference.
If an agreement is reached, it will
take at least q month before wires can
be strung up to connect Fergus Falls
to that plant. otherwise it will be
some time before that city has any
light or power.
Gasoline engines are being put in by
a number of the mills, factories, and
others who have been dependant on
the city's plant for power. to operate
their respective businesses for the
present, and the residents and business
houses have been forced back to tallow
candles and kerosene for lighting
purposes.

The sleepy seaport town of Dover,

scuring the sea toward the distant
French coast, and, circling twice above
The high chalky cliffs of Dover, alight-

portly and red-mustacned man of 81,

bandaged foot, which had been burn

ing big tricolor flag as a signal for
the landing place, fell upon him en-
Enthusiastically, embracing him, shout
ing and pounding him on the back.
Bleriot left Les Baraques, three
miles from Calais, about 4 80 a. m. on
one OF the smallest monoplanes ever
used. He crossed the channel In a
little less than half an hour, twice as
swiftly as the fastest mail boat. His
speed averaged more than As miles
an hour, sometimes 1t approXimated
60 miles. He kept about 250 feet
above the sea level and for ten min.

torpedo boat destroyer which followed
him with mis- wife and friends aboard.
The wind was blowing about twenty
miles an hour and the sea was choppy.
The aviator was swathed in a single
garment, imperyious to the wind, only
his face showing. He wore also
cork lifebelt.
BY his achievement Bleriot won the
prize of $4,000 offered by the London
Daily Mail for the first flight across

Count de Lambert, both of whom had
hoped to make the attempt Sunday.
Parts of the framework of the mono
plane were splintered on landing. Ev-
cry one expressed surprise at It's small
size. It is no more than twenty feet
across the wings, and its weight is
about 400 pounds, the motor being

Bleriot said, however, that he had abb

would fail The only difficulty he ex-
perienced was the force of the wind,
which hurt his face and eyes badly,
and the wind eddies which twisted his
machine about while nearing the Eng
