WORKAT HOTTER DAN RUSHED
New Hydro-EIectric Development At
Butte, Will Be Completed BY
August 1917.

Butte.-The best evidence of the
prosperity of the state of Montana is
afforded by the announcement made by
the officers Of the Montana Power
company here that the work of COM
pleting the new Hotter nydro-electric
development is to be rushed to COM
pletion with all possible speed and
that 1t will be finished not later than
August, 1917. This plant will have a
capacity of 10000 horse power when
finished.
When the big plants at Thompson
Falls and 1t the Big Falls of the Mis-
souri, were projected three years ago
and started, the officers of the Mon,
tana Power company believed that
those plants would furnish enough sur
plus power to take care of the needs
of Montana for 10 years to come. To
day every bit of the power is being
utilized.
