Mr.. Ansel Polly of Crystal River
was in town last Friday shaking
hands with his many friends. He states

1t is with regret that we chronicle
the intended departure in the near
future of Mr.. Delbert Haskell. who
leaves next Thursday. Sept. 10, for
some outlandish, unnamable place in
the interior of Mexico, to assume
charge of a large, high tension, long
distance electric power transmission
| company. We are told that this COM
pany has a capacity of $1,000 horse
power at 100000 volts pressure and
! that it transmits current for a dis
| tance of one hundred miles. Few peo-
| pie realize the enormity of this propo-
sition, but it is something fierce we
can assure you. and while Mr.. Haskell
! has lived in our midst for several
years few people have appreciated his
capabilities and standing in the cleo
| trical world His retiring disposition
| and genius for work and seclusion has
! obscured the fact from many of us
that a member in good standing in
| the American institute of Electrical
! Engineers has lived in our midst.
which membership gives any man a
standing and recognition in any part
of the world. Now. Delbert after this
spiel if those greasers get you it is
not our fault. Simply pull this on
! them.
| Mr.. Samuel G. Thomas, the artistic
