Old Stump Yields Riches

Dover, Visions Of untold rich
es have filled the minds OF several
Colorcd workmen on the farm OF GyE
A. r. Benson, who already have I'M
aarthed what IS supposed to be a
cache of stolen goods. SO far there
have been found four watches, two Of
which are gold three women's solo
gold rings. solid gold watch fob,
gold breastpins, a $50 gold piece, two
SO gold pieces, two s. gold pieces and
one s.. 50 gold piece. All were found
around large stump, which the work
men few days ago set about 10 re
move. All of the Jewelry and MONEY
were in a good state of preservation,
except one Of the watches. a nickel
one in which the works had rusted.
The latest find. the $40 gold piece,
mas inspired the workmen 20 greater
a.ljsence, and they are seeking more
of f->e treasure.

and fed by the commission. A sur geon, an ambulance and hospital maintained by the commission are at the disposal of the employees in case of accident. The adoption of the newest safety devices has naintmized the danger Of accident on the devel- opment, and the commission has de- voted a great deal of time to safety first propaganda In order to safe guard the men in it's employ. About 2,6OO acres, or 50 per cent. of the lands acquired by the commission for it's right of way, have been converted into farms. and the produce front the farms Is sold to the employees of the commission. The commission maintains it's own telephone system on the development, and 1t has con nections throughout the province. Garages, machine shops and office buildings line the right of way.

said that Berkman would be sent out Of the country at the earliest possi- bIe moment, which would be soon. When asked if Berkman would be held to await action in Goldman's case, MT. Caminetd replied:
 Not necessarily"
 He declined to make any comment as to the manner of sending the Anarchist to Russia. MT. Camin- etti returned today to MT. Vein berger $30,000 in Liberty bonds which had been deposited as bail for Berkman and Goldman.
 While no official advices have been received from Washington on the subject, the belief in local immigra- ton circles is that an army or navy vessel will be set aside to take Berk- man and several score other Anar- Chists and feeble minded who are now awaiting deportation to Russia. This plan Is strongly advocated by Act ing Immigration Commissioner Uhl who would like nothing better than to get the whole group off his hands Immediately.
 It was pointed out that, so far as Soviet Russia is concerned, there are now no better facilities for deporta- tions than there have been since the outbreak of the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, since when all deportations to Russia have been held up. As a consequence, not only anarchists but Predetermined persons and other in- admissible Russian aliens, have been permitted to remain in the country in considerable numbers. Many have been released on bond
 If the plan suggested by the House Immigration Committee is followed they will all be collected and shipped to Libau, whence they could be es- corted through Lettish territory tc the Bolsheyik lines. It is regard ed as altogether likely that when the government does send Berkman tt Russia 1t will avail itself of the op. portunity to send along as many Rus sians as possible whose legal status is the same as his.
 Since Berkman came to this coun. try in the steerage he will, under the law, have to return in the same man. ner.

Canada's Largest Enginee ring
 Proposition
Hydro Electric Power Commission Carrying in Wonder ful Power Development Work at Niagara Falls
 A Second Panama Canal

Operating the largest shovels in the world, and reversing the flow of a river, the Hydro Electric Power Commission, of Ontario, is carrying on an enormous engineering project at Niagara Falls, practically without the use of steam.
 There are many startling phases to this work, which is the largest en- gineering feat attempted in the Do- minion of Canada, and the biggest engineering job at present being carried on in the North American continent.
 In order to get water to the new power house which will be erected just above Queenston, the Commis- sion will utilize four and a quarter
 miles of the Welland River, causing this sluggish stream to flow back ward and to take water from the Niagara River instead of emptying into it above the Falls. Connecting with the WelIand River is a power canal, stretching from Queenston and encircling the city of Niagara Falls Ont, which will be eight and a quar- ter miles long when completed. The original survey for the Mag,
 ara development was made in 1914
  May, 1917 The commission expect i to have the new plant in working or. l der in 1922. War conditions handi l capped the engineers, but this year. 1 operations were begun on a gigantic 1 scale. A trip over the right of way ! will impress the observer with tht
 vast scope of the undertaking which ] in it's completed state, will cost ap i proximately $27,000,00O
 i Two miles above the brink of Nj 1 agara Falls a steam dredge is gnaw 1 ing away at the channel of the Wei i land River, removing in generous ] chunks the river bottom and DOT i ton of Hog Island, which guards tn 1 entrance to this historic creek. Tn, 1 lone dredge and its attendant tug | are the only pieces of equipment en 1 gagged on the entire Niagara develop 1 ment which are not owned by tn l Hydro-E1ec Power Commission l They, with six or seven switch en 1 zines, are the only apparatus in us l on the development which requir l steam in their operation
 Even the drills employed on tn ! rock deposits of the canal right o | way are operated by air, eIectricaI1.

compressed. A mile or two inland a huge clamsheu swung from an aerial cableway, drops into the river and then emerges, bringing with 1t generous bites from the river bot tom, which are deposited on the riv
 CT bank at the foot of the tower from where the operator directs the activities of the clamshell. Depos- it's of earth and clay along the north
 bank of the river reveal the effect
 iveness of the clamsheH in this par
 ticular portion of the development.
 A short ride from Niagara Falls
 over new roadways built by the com
 mission from crushed limestone re-
 moved from it's right of way, brings
 one to the canal proper, where the
 activities of huge electric shovels,
 electric trains and gangs of men present a striking picture. The
 weary householder painfully feeding | the furnace, shovel by shovel, from the ton or two Of coal, his winter $ , supply, will marvel at the enormity of the electric shoveIs which pick up from eight to ten tons of material. l lift it 70 feet into the air and deposit | it into waiting cars, all within the 1 short space of 40 seconds.
 | Trains, hauled by electric locomo- 1 ives convey the mud and clay to the l dump at St. David's. The boulders | and rock from the canal are borne 1 away to the stone crusher on the 1 cliff above Queenston, and converted i into material for roadways, railroad 1 roadbed and riprap which will line 1 the shores of the canal.
 The stone crusher, which has q 1 capacity of 4.0OO cubic yards, is wei ! worth a visit. The rocks from the l excavations are cast into a troug l opening into gigantic steel j. $ which grind and munch, brea king the l largest pieces into smaller bits that | are carried away on a belt conveyor | A series of crushers reduce the rocks ! to form where they may be utilized | for building purposes and stored fol ! future use.
 Fifty-five miles of railway, all cleo trified, and tapping five trunk lines
 are required in the construction work 1 on the development. On this rail. l way the commission has in opera l tion more electric locomotives thar l any railway system in Canada. A 1 present 2,000 men are employed or the big job. These men are housed
