Maldaner Has Birthday.

his eighth birthday yesterday.
We do not mean that Frank is
only eight years old, because he
is more, but on account of the
laws of the universe and the
man who arranged our calendars
and gave February twenty-nine
days every four or eight years,
Frank is derived of the pleasure
of a birthday, only on such oc-
casions. While we are at a loss
for the proper name for an oc-

Commercial club of Sisseton. AL
though lit is not venerable in

their most notable recent achieve

that a contribution to the good

oils Monday to witness the signing of
the bill. The onlookers included Mr. c.
L. Pullen, vice president of the power
company; Mr.. R. s. Hubbard a Phila-
delphia capitalist; Col John Bogart. of
New York, well known as the engineer
who designed the important power
plants at Niagara Falls, and Mr.. De
Warren H. Reynolds, an attorney of
Cumberland, who represents the power
company and through whose indefatig-
able efforts the amendments of the
charter were secured.
Mr.. Reynolds spent two months at
Annapolis during the legislative session
advocating the bill and succeeded in
overcoming all objections.
Senator Zihlman, Of Allegany county,
and Senator Specher, of Garrett, and
Mr.. W. A. Smith. also of Garrett, who
has recently been appointed fish com
missioner for the Wertern Shore, and
former Senator w. McCulloh Brown, Of
Garrett, were on hand to add their
voices in behalf of the bill
Governor Goldsborough and Attorney
General Poe stated that there had been
objections to the bill. Former Attor-
ney General Isaac Lobe Straus said
that all objections, as far as conflict
with the Public Service Commission
had been removed since the bill made
the companv's act subject to the APP
proval of the commission.
Mr.. Poe asked why the company de-
sired the right of condemnation of land.
Mr.. Pullen, who is vice president of
the company, said that his company
owned 10000 acres, and that adjacent
to these acres were 70, which were nee
essary to the development of the power
company. He said this small area,
which had cost the purchaser nominal
sum, was held at $4,000. an impossible
price, hence the need of power to con-
denim land.
Colonel Bogart told of the immense
possibilities of the development of the
property. Senator Speicher and Zihl-
man and former Senator Brown and
DIR. Rayenscrott added their requests
that the bill be signed. On file with the
Governor were numerous kilograms and
letters from residents of Western.Mary-
land urging the Governor to sign the
bill.

BIC POWER COMPANY
FOR GARRETT COUNTY.
Four Million Dollar Enterprise To Be
Built On The YCughi0gheny.

At Annapolis Monday Governor Colds
borough waived all protest and signed a
bill which means the establishment of
81 600, 600 enterprise in Maryland.
The bill in question amends the char
ter of the Youhiogheny Power Com
pany, by which The daming Of the
Youghiogheny River at Friendsville and
at a nearby pointin the same river is
made possible. The estimated horse
power Of the electricity to be generated
by the dam is 100000 The big enter
prise would have been d certainty by
this time had not its charter of two
years ago been in conflict with the act
creating the Public Service Commission.
This obstacle has been removed and
the way is paved for the beginning of
the enterprise. By the provisions of
the bill Baltimore is excluded as
market for the electric power to be gen
Grated.
Plttsburg will probably get it. The
company shortly to begin construction
is not to be confused with the company
which two years ago offered to bring
electric power from the summit of the
Alleganies to Baltimore AS matter
of fact, it has been demonstrated that
electricity for power purposes cannot
be transmitted over 200 miles, and Bal
timore is twice that distance from the
field of operation of the new company
The power producing capacity of the
new company is 10, 900 horsepower, as
compared with the 80, 600 horsepower of
the huge dam at McCalls Ferry, the
source of the greater part of the supply
of electricity for Baltimore.
A promise is made that the new com
panY will attract large industrial plants
to the vicinity of It's operations. In ad-
dition the company will supply nearby
towns with power
