All of last winter and a part of the
summer 1t was necessary for h COM
pany to use the Wahpeton plant in
supplying power. Under the present
conditions that plant does practically
all of the work. although h Day
ton Hollow power station is used for
two or three hours each day. but it
supplies only a small part of the cur
rent used.
The %operationg company has a plan
under contemplate at the present time
which will provide for a dam at Fer
gus Falls, on the Pelican river. which
flows into the Red river at Wahpeton.
The Pelican river is sometimes called
a part of the Red river, and some
maps designate II as such. This dam
would give an additional fall and the
officials of the concern believe that 1t
would solve the problem which con-
fronts them.
