Big Merger 10 First Step Toward

The Commonwealth Power, Railway
& Light Co.. which is the name OF
the new merger of the power and trac-
ton interests of Michigan. has for
mally announced the combine. The
company is capitalized at 100000,
OF which one-third is preferred stock
and the rest common. The electrifi-
cation of Michigan is by no means the
industrial dream that the phrase may
suggest upon first thought. The mer-
ger Of electrical, gas and electric
traction lines by the Hodenpyl-Wal-
bridge, Clarke and Foote interests is
the first big step toward the actual
identification of Michigan, and the
now somewhat shadowy plans for the
future of five or six years hence are
almost amazing, and yet perfectly
practicable.
ing hydro-electric power in such vast
quantities that it can be sold SO cheap
ly that the average farmer will use
electricity for light and power, and
the plans Of the merger, while by no
means denitely outlined, include the
supplying Of electrical current to
thousands or farmers.
The statement made at Saginaw by
the syndicate to the stockholders
shows that the properties are to be re-
arranged that the electrical companies
are separated from the gas properties,
and that the hydro-electric properties
are most prominent in the deal. John
c. Weadock, attorney for the syndi-
cate declared that the Au Sable river
alone would supply current for the en-
tire Saginaw valley as far south as
the tier of counties below Flint, and
that it would not only furnish current
for all of the cities in that territory,
but for thousands of farmers.
The 10 dams to be constructed on
the Au Sable will generate nearly 100,-
900 horsepower. None of the dams
and generating stations will cost much
less than $500000 several cost more.
Manufactured in such enormous guam
titles, the current can be offered at a
low cost.
What is true OF the Au Sable propo-
sition is true of the Grand Rapids &
Muskegon Co. and the Commonwealth
Co. The engineers reports show that
neither the Commonwealth Co. nor the
Grand Rapids uskegon Co. is using
more than small fraction of the
power that can be developed. That
eventually the steam generating plants
will be supplanted is not doubted, al
though officers. Of the company de-
clared that such results were now too
remote to discuss.

new YEARS DAY
WITH PRESIDENT
RICH AND POOR WISH PRESIDENT
TAFT A HAPPY NEW YEAR
AT ANNUAL RECEPTION.
CUSTOM POPULAR VOGUE
Officials, Diplomats, Aristocracy and
Plain People MingIe In Thronss at
Annual Event in Washington.

The event which from almost the
first days of the republic has distin-
guished the celebration of the advent
of the new year in Washington, the
presidents reception at the White
House, took on a new interest as the
first public reception planned for the
administration Of William III. Taft.
Every New Years day the White
House doors swing open to all the
world and during the appointed hours
for the reception of citizens, the poor
and humble receive the clasp OF the
chief executive on equal footing with
the rich and aristocratic. The public
reception, OF course, Is always pre-
ceded by an hour or more of formality
in the famed blue room when the
president greets the members Of the
cabinet, the diplomats, the senators
and representatives, the high officials
OF the government, the officers OF the
army and navy and members OF the
various veteran organizations, etc.
Some idea of the magnitude to which
the new years reception at the White
House has grown can be had from the
fact that Theodore Roosevelt, during
the last two or three years of his
term, attained a high-water mark OF
shaking hands with more than 5000
men and women. The reception is al
ways scheduled to close at / 80 p. m,
but Roosevelt usually stood at his
post until the last citizen in the line
reaching from the impressive old col
onial portico of the White House far
down Pennsylvania avenue, had had
an opportunity to come in. This years
reception was planned along the same
line as those of the Roosevelt admin
istration.

Woman's Body Burned to Crisp.

Crouched on the floor with the head
resting against door, the body Of
Mrs. Charles e. Spencer, 45, wife of
Grand Trunk engineer. was found
by firemen burned almost to a crisp
in a shed in the rear OF her home
on Cliff street. Battle Creek. The
fact that the body was burned almost
beyond recognition. while the house
was but slightly damaged, creates a
puzzle.
The Spencers have lived in Battle
Creek several years and were highly
regarded by all who knew them. The
man is one of the most popular en-
gneers on the Grand Trunk, and is
highly spoken of by his neighbors and
fellow employees.
