PLANT ON THREE SHIFTS.
Vernon Electric Station Running at
Full Capacity with II Men-20,000
Horse Power Furnished.

Probably it will be a surprise to
most persons to learn that it takes II
men to do the work required at the
power plant of the Connecticut River
Power Co. at Vernon. An eight-hOur
schedule went into effect on Monday,
supplanting the 12hour schedule pre-
viously in force. There are now three
shifts of eight hours each.
The company is now supplying over
10000 horsepower and everything is
running wide open. More power could
be supplied if it could be developed, as
there is constantly increasing de-
mand. The increased demand reflects
to certain extent the shortage and
high price of coal, manufacturers be-
ing more DESTROYS of taking electric
power as the cost Of steam power in
creases.
Thu company has just allotted 800
shares of stock to the employees. The
lattcr subscribed for 1900 shares, but
only 500 were issued.

Station and Store Burned.

A fire loss of $4,000 was sustained
in West Berlin early Friday when the
general store owned by Davis Brothers,
the Central Vermont passenger station,
and box car were destroyed by flames
which were first noticed in the rear of
the store. The loss to Davis Brothers,
between $1,000 and $4,000 on the con-
tents of their building, and the store,
reckoned at $4,000, is partially covered
by insurance. From his home around 4
o clock in the morning Mark Glines, n
resident Of the village, saw smoke
billowing from the windows in the rear
of the store. He gave an alarm ana
soon the entire village had turned out.
Without any system of fire protec-
ton, the inhabitants were helpless to
prevent the fire from communicating to
n box car on siding just east of the
store, and thence to the railway station
None of the contents of the store were
saved and the furnishings and supplies
at the station We're lost. The box ear
formed a connecting link between the

the machine was run into by ear

that she was on the extreme right

that DR.. Burnett car was on the ex-

regret that he left Vermont and he

located on what is known as Arlington
Heights on land adjoining the golf
links.
Maj. Chappelear. representing Gen.

tcrday morning and went to carson to
confer with Gov. Boyle. They came
down from the capital last night and
held a conference with the directors of
the Commercial club in regard to es-
tablishing the camp and it was decid.
ed to establish it if possible.
The war department was asked for
instructions as to how TO proceed and
now that the camp site has practically
been selected it will probably be only
matter. of a few weeks until actual
construction work begins.
1t is the plan to train the drafted
men for two months here before send
ing them to the regular government
camp. To conduct the training. off
GERS from the regular army together

Gov. Boyle began working to secur,
the camp several weeks ago in order
to bring TO Nevada some OF the money
the government is spending for care Of
troops. The fact that the government
is trying TO spend as much of the Lib

state where it was secured led Gov
Boyle to seek the troop camp. Nevad.
