WORK MOVING
AT POWER PLANT
Construction Machinery Ar
irving Every Day.
Superintendent Expects to Put on Full
Force of Two Hundred Men
About the 25th of the
Present Month.

Delay in the arrival of machin-
cry to be used in the construction
work of the big power plant is
making progress slow and it will
be about the 25th of the present
month before full force of men
will be on the job, which will give
employment to two hundred me-
divided into crews working day and
night. AT present there is a small
force working preparing the ground
for the big job. The little town for
the accommodation of the men Is
completed and as the construction
machinery arrives it is being put in
place. Some of this machinery ar
rived the first of the week and all
other is on the road and will likely
be here by the end of thepresent
week, and with about ten days to
install the same will put all things
in readiness for work in earnest.
The main building of this plant
will be 230x100 feet and will stand
on the south side of the river. 1t
is necessary to remove many tons
of rock to make way of this build
ing which will require five cars of
powder for blasting. A track is
being constructed down the river to
run the dump cars which will haul
the tons of rock to be taken out
at depth of twenty feet where the
main building will stand. 1t will
also be necessary to remove many
tons more of rock to make way for
the tail race to the house.
A dam is to be constructed be-
ginning near the new site and will
run up the river nearly to the
wagon bridge and circleing will be
connected with the present dam on
the north side This will raise the
water level of the river about eight
feet.
Sand to be used here has been
purchased from Mrs. Franklin and
it is estimated that it will require
two thousand wagon loads for the
job. A stone crucher will be in
stalled to make the gravel to be
mixed with this sand, as the quail
ity required for this work could not
be found at a close enough distance
to insure prompt delivery and the
contractors will not take a chance
on having to lay off any men after
their full crew has been organized
and in motion. This matter of
getting two thousand loads of sand
OH the ground means big item as
it will furnish employment for men
and teams for many days. This is
not included when it is said that
two hundred men will be employed
on the works and will likely add
fifty to seventy-five men and teams
10 the job.
