CEDAR FALLS DAM
NEARS COMPLETION
AFTER NOV. Is WILL SUPPLY
POWER TO MENOMONEE AND
CHIPPEWA VALLEY.
TOTAL COST ABOUT S5OO,OOO
Will Develop About 1900 Horse
power and VIII Back Red Cedar
River Into Lake Fourteen
Miles Long.

Menomonie-The big dam in the
Red Cedar river at Cedar Falls, this
county, begun March /, will be com
pleted in short time
This dam is one of the finest con-
crete dams in northwestern Wiscon-
sin and consists of two immense but
tresses, connected by decking and
apron, giving absolute control of the
quantity of water passing over the
dam, and strength of construction
adequate to the requirements.
At the point where the dam spans
the Red Cedar river, it is $50 feet
wide, both shores being high and
one side a solid wall Of rock. On
the other side it will be necessary
to strengthen the bank by the use
Of masonry, q work which is now
in progress. The dam will carry a
fifty-foot head of water, and will
develop about Is, 000-horse power,
which will be used in generating
electric power.
Bridges above Cedar Falls are
being raised, to place them above
the new water level, soon to be es-
tablished. The basin to be flooded
extends back a distance Of fourteen
miles, to the village Of Colfax, and
will form large lake. Incidentally,
it will effect the obliteratiOn of
Lambs Creek Falls, one of the most
picturesque of Dunn county's many
scenic spots, and the favorite resort
of Menomonie picnic parties.
The cost Of the dam alone will
amount to upwards of 100000; and
the whole enterprise, including dam,
embankment, power house, machin-
cry and other details, will represent
an outlay of half million dollars.
The object of this enterprise is to
furnish additional power for the pur-
poses of the Chippewa Valley Elec-
trio Railway, Light & Power COM
pany This company already owns
and operates an extensive power
plant in this city, which will not be
abandoned, but will continue to be
part Of the Chippewa Valley sys-

jured when a stake On a logging
train broke, wrecking the train and

broken and Brakeman J. A. Kehoe Of
Peshtigo suffered a fractured jaw
The train was passing the station
when the breaking of the stake per-
mitted a heavy log to fall so that
one end struck the station and the
other crashed into the caboose like
d battering ram, striking Schmelling
and MASKING his head to a jelly. The
station was demolished
The train was running about sixty
miles an hour and the logs as they
fell off and dragged along smashed
box cars and plowed up the ground
for a half-mile.

CARING FOR THE. LEFTOvERS
System Which Makes for Economy
How to Make Refrigerator Earn
Its Ice Bill.

1t Is wise, when fruits and jellies
come in little glass jars or tumblers,
especially when these have covers, to
save up some of them, turned upside
down on shelf out of the way for the
lcebox season. Then, when food is
left over and is to be saved for entrees
or buildings, put it in these little
glasses, cover it, and set it away, and
you will find your refrigerator holding
about twice as much as it would If the
ordinary vegetable dishes and bowls
were used. Moreover, these dishes
are washed at the proper time, and
all ready for use at the next meal
Still more important, the mere act
of putting these leftovers into fresh
dishes often directs the attention to
them SO that they are used when they
might otherwise be forgotten. Vege-
tables that are to be used in the same
soup can be put into the same dish;
extra yolks or whites Of eggs can be
kept till needed, In one Of the little
Bar le DUO glasses or one Of the jars
beef extract comes in, with butter
plate over the top; a cupful Of soup or
vegetable gravy can be saved till next
morning, and used for soup; and still
there is room for fruit, milk, butter,
eggs, and the other things that belong
to the icebox, and the glass jars and
tumblers can be closely covered so
that their contents will not faint any
thing else. That Is one way Of max
ing the we'll trained refrigerator earn

hot weather dishes. When clearing
the table it is often possible to be-
gin the salad for luncheon or dinner.
Take what Is left of the fruit, or the
green peas or tomatoes, melt some gel

ing to the directions on the pack

in the refrigerator, and there you have

Of a little lettuce or endive, and dress

EcOnOmiZing space by saving left
overs in jars means having room for
fruit, fresh vegetables, bottles of cold
drinks, and things that really must
have space. This room is what the
masculine half Of the family will ap-
preciate. No man ever saw the econ
Omy of an icebox filled up with vege-
table dishes and part of a roast, so
that there was no room for the water
melon. And the reason is a good one
because there was no economy
about it. Cut the roast off the bone
and stew the bone down into stock
and wash the platter; pour that half
jar of peaches into a jam jar, and,
most important of all, empty that milk
bottle and wash it. thoroughly.
An icebox may not have typhoid fe-
yer itself if it Is filled with germs,
but the family will, and that is ex-
pensive.

Government to Rush food Supplies

and acquisitions Boats. Ameri-
cans are Victims.

Paris.-The strike of the railroad
men, which threatens to spread
throughout France, was denounced
by Premier BRAND as IAN insured
ton built upon criminal founda-
tons"
The premier said the strike was
called while negotiations were 60
ing on through himself and the min
lister of public works for an ad-
justmaRt of grievances, and he
promised that the instigators of the
strike would be criminally prose-
cuted.
The Paris, Lyons and Mediterra-
mean and Orleans railroad men
voted to strike, as also did the en-
ployes of the Paris subway, who
deem this good opportunity to
obtain satisfaction on a number of
demands for which they have been
agitating for some time past.
The River Seine, which in jan
uary threatened to destroy Paris,
now looms up in the role of savior.
The government has made arrange
ments~ to rush food supplies to
Paris by the sea, requisitioning all
tugs, boats and barges to meet the
crisis brought about by the stop
page Of the railway service and
ease the food market, which is al
ready hard hit.
The employees of the Eastern and
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterrane-
an railroads have not yet respond
ed to the call to strike, and the gov
ernment's weapon of mobilization
has induced some of those en-
ployed by the Northern road to re-
turn to their posts. Nevertheless
the Northern and Western railroads
are Frustrated. The call to the col
Ors has been ignored by the large
majority, and at massmeetings held
the strikers reiterated their deter
mination not to respond to the call.
Much destruction has been
wrought on the Western system,
where the strikers and their sup
porters have held up and derailed
trains, blocked tracks, destroyed
signals, ripped up rails and cut tel
ephone and telegraph wires. The
government has ordered the arrest

instructions have been issued to the
troops to use severe measures Wher-
ever occasion requires.
Thousands of persons living in
the suburbs, but who are employed
in Paris, massed around the Gepots.
These they found closed and silent,
with soldiers camps in front. Then,
with true Partisan gayety, they
laughingly set out to walk home,
perhaps a distance of five or ten
miles, or stormed the tramways,
cabs, automobiles and other convey

The losses to commence already
are tremendous. Scores of trains
have been stalled along the roads,
many of these carrying food supplies
which even now have become unfit
for use. The passengers on the
steamship Oceanic, who took the
train at Cherbourg for Paris, are
blocked at WORCESTERSHIRE about
thirty-six miles from Paris.
Many Americans have been COM
PEELED to remain in this city or to
pay fabulous sums to reach the coast.
Seven hundred sacks of American
mail are now being transported from
Havre to Paris up the Seine and the
French steamship line will employ
