The price paid for the stock or the
total consideration involved has not
been made public, but the deal is one
of the largest transactions ever re-
corded here. AS there is no represen-
tative of the Power company in town,
statement as to the intentions of
the new owners was not available.
1t is known, however, that the Des
Moines River Power company is or
ganiZed to locate and develop sever
al power sites along the Des Moines
river. The one to be located near o.
kaloosa will have a capacity of at
least 10000 horse power, capable of
furnishing power to a wide scope of
territory.
A thorough investigation with re-
ference to sites, available business,
and the cost of development have
been made by the company. The
work has been carried on in conjunc-
ton with the surveys recently made
by the war department of the United
States government, looking to the
availability of restoring and develop
ing navigation on the Des Moine3
river. 1t has been found that dams
located by the government survey
are advantageously located for devel-
opment of power plants.
1t is understood that the Power
company will maintain the steam
power plant in this city, for use in
case the water plant would fail, eth
er from accident or by reason of lack
of water in time of drought. 1t is
also understood that the new owners
will carry out all the current con-
tracts of the present company, in
Guiding the construction of the power
and light circuit to New Sharon.
Those who have had the most to do
with the deal, feel assured that the
sale of the property to the new own
ers is the opening wedge of a develop
ment that will spell big things fos
Oskaloosa and this whole community.
The sale will also bring in a lot of
new capital that is sure to be of ad-
vantage to this city in every way.
