ELECTRIC PLANTS ON COAST
Huge Generating and Transmission
System to Be Undertaken In
Mexico-Power From Water.

A most ambitious electric general
ing and transmission system is soon
to be undertaken ON the Pacific coast
of Mexico. Three large hydro-elec.
trio plants are to be built, having a
combined capacity of 300,000-horse
power, and according to present plans
1000 miles Of transmission lines will
be built, covering most of the Pacific
coast of Mexico, or a territory about
seven hundred miles long. One OF
these plants will be situated on the
Mayo river, across which a dam ITO
feet high and 260 feet long will be
built This will form a reservoir
with a capacity of 10,000.000,000 cubic
feet of water. Another dam, 223 feet
high and 70S feet long. will be run
across the Humaya river, forming a
reservoir of 11,000,000,000 cubic feet,
while the third dam, 315 feet high and
145 feet long, will be stretched across
the Santiago river, and will furnish p
reservoir of s,O00,000,oO0 cubic feet

Gayman' Queer"
Crosses the Divide

Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Gayman are
mourning the loss of their pet terrier
Queen who passed away suddenly
one day last week. Queen was the
champion rat dog of the city and was
a great favorite with the business men
on Oak street. Mr.. Gayman has COM
posed a little poem which is especial
~ dedicated to the late lamented dog.
The poem follows:
Poor Queen is dead,
That good white dog,
We never shall see her more,
She was a dog that everone did adore,
And she would catch every rat that
came in the store,
Customers she did like
And Children she would never bite,
They loved her for she was fat and
white,
She would lay ana watch rats ali
night,
When the day would come
You would see that she had all kinds
of fun.
Ny wife and / did heller
When we found her dead in the cellar
But we did not moan or rave
Just put her in her grave.
