Miss Harmed has had since her joint star

management she had two years OF immense
success in New York, Boston and other
large eastern cities.

In Trilby the role which she originated ana
in which she made her first great success.
She plays a highly emotional character, an
actress artist model wife, but there are
many light scenes in which she shows new
and unexpected developments OF her art.
Miss Harmed has enjoyed wonderful
and remarkably successful career for some
wears. devoting most of her time and tai
ents to offerings made in the larger cities
of the country. In fact, she had almost
confined her efforts to New York as she
has enjoyed year and two-year runs in the
metropolis with Iris, Alice OF Old Nincen-
mes, Ursula in Anthony Hopes The Adyen-
lures of Lady Ursula, and her Ophelia to
Mr.. Southern's Hamlet. Other prominent
plays in which she originated the leading

Kelley of Providence. r. l., and his associ-

pond project in connection with dam on
the Deerfield just below Readsboro. Con.
siderable time and money was spent by
these parties but nothing tangible resulted.
The second charter was secured in 1901
by Faxon Bowen and George w. Plumb Of
Readsboro, and William X. G. Carson Of
Hartford, electric consulting engineer, and
Walter Scott Morton, and expert hydraulic
engineer of New York. A survey of the
river was made from Bardwells Ferry to
Somerset, Vt. Many options were taken
and considerable land was bought at favor.

by the j. G. White Co, Of New York, who
built the Vernon dam, and contemplated
the purchase of the plant, charter and fran

Light and Power Co., as a means OF pro-
vidng the most remunerative market for
the power developed. But a Massachu'

North Adams property and in the bidding
that followed they took the prize. The
proposition then remained in passive

The crew of hydraulic engineers and their
assistants who have for the past two
months been engaged In making soundings
on the Deerfield river three miles north
OF Readsboro, VT, have completed their
work, and their machinery and equipment,
which included boilers, engines, diamond
core drills. power pumps, ETC., to the extent
of two carloads, is being shipped away:
These soundings were made at the instlga-
ton of the promoters of the Wilmington
Power, Paper and Pulp Co., at the site OF
the proposed new dam near Nottingham
station. A concrete structure which was
to be It's feet high and from which water
was to be carried in penstock SIX miles to
n point near Monroe Bridge and thence
four miles in tunnel through Rowe noun
tain to Pelham brook in Rowe and from
there in pipe line two or three miles down
to Zoar, where it was proposed to erect q
large power house. The fall to be obtained
was said to be about 800 feet, which was
figured to develop about 25,O 600 horse pow
er In electric energy to be carried by high
tension lines to distributing points in Mas
sachusetts.
Soundings were made on both sides of the
river at the most advantageous location Tor
the dam to depth of 100 feet, but nothing
but sand, clay and gravel was found, and
the outfit was moved down stream from
a quarter to half mile, where on one
side of the river solid ledge of rock was
found. This ledge, however, seems to have
taken sudden drop for the lower regions
in mid-stream, for no trace Of it was found
to depth of 100 feet on the other side. A
trestle was then erected over the river and
soundings to considerable depth were
made without finding any suitable bottom
on which to erect so huge structure.
The chief engineer and his two assistants
were from Chicago while the consulting
engineer was said to be a Boston man.
The method chiefly employed in making
the soundings was by driving pipe down
into the ground as far as possible, drawing
it back short distance and then lowering
several sticks of dynamite through the pipe
to the bottom of the hole, which were ex,
ploded by electric fuzes, or caps, connected
to battery. The explosion of the dyna-
mite would loosen up the earth at the bot
tom Of the pipe and water would then be
pumped under heavy pressure through an
auxiliary pipe into the hole, causing the
earth to rise with the water through the
main pipe to the surface and overflow. This
water was passed through fine screen and
the composition of the earth thus obtained
was carefully noted by the consulting engi-
neer. When the water ran clear the hole
would be pumped dry, the pipe driven
farther down and the operation. repeated:
A carload of dynamite was purchased and
used for this purpose. :. :,

Edward Adams, a colored teamster
who lives on the road to Woodford and
works on the Dewey lumber job, came
into Bennington Friday afternoon with
yearling bear, which he shot while
hunting hedgehogs the previous after
noon. Just before dark he went into
the woods in the rear of his home at
Ferndale with a small dog which he
uses to track 'coons and hedgehogs
with the expectation of securing few
porcupine scalps on which to collect
the bounty authorized by the last
legislature. The dog soon began bark
ing at the opening in large hollow
log and Adams crawled into the hole,
club, in hand, with the expectation of
ba""ing whole family of hedgehogs
When he had ,squirmed into the log as
far as he could 90 he lighted match
and prepared to hit the hedgehogs the
customary death blow on the nose. In
stead of the harmless hedgehog he
found himself staring a bear in the
face and backed out of the log as fast
as he could wiggle. He then hurried
home and returned with his rifle, with
which he dispatched the bear. As the
animal had been in its winter quarters
all winter the fur was at its full length
and the pelt was far more valuable
than would be the case had the cap
ture been made later in the year.
