BUSINESS MEN SEE GREAT
river GATEWAY TUESDAY
Inspection Of Dam 33 BY Maysvilla
Business Men on Tuesday Is Great
ly Appreciated-Workings Of
Monster Gate Is Ex-
planned.

Many local business men took ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
Tuesday by Superintendent Hall, of
Dam 33, to visit and inspect that great
Job which has been in process of con-
struction right here at our doors for
the past several years.
The dam was in the best possible
condition just at this time to see all of
the workings and Superintendent Hall
and his men were kind enough to ex-
plain to the business men the various
details Of the great mechanism. They
were taken all over the works and
given some idea of the whole affair.
1t has required a great amount of
work to bring the plant up to. its pres
ent state and yet 1t will require much
more work to complete 1t for use as
one Of a system of locks and dams
which will give nine foot stage to
the Ohio river from Pittsburg to Cairo
The business men we're taken to the
dam on the government steamboat
Miami and were given treat of cold
lemonade by the boats crew.
The trip was a great success. II
was a fine little outing and every bust
ness man who took advantage of Il
now has a much better idea Of the dan
and Its immensity. They all are great
ly indebted to Superintendent Hall fol
his kindness in planning for this trip

MISSION HOLDS RALLY:
CLOTHING BADLY NEEDED
Calls For Clothing For School Chill
dren at the City Mission Are
Many-PeOple Asked to Con-
tribute Literally.

Active work was resumed by the
City Mission Tuesday evening with
rally service at the Mission rooms In
the Caproni building. There were 55
people who have been served by the
Mission present and acting Superin-
tendent, Miss Best, is very much
pleased with the spirit in which the
fall work was begun.
Following Victrola concert, devo-
tional services were led by Mr. James
s. Dawson and after the religious SER
vices a social hour was enjoyed and
lemonade was served
Miss Best says that with the open
ing of schools and the enforcement of
the Compulsory attendance law by the
| Truant officer the calls for children's
clothing have been many and that the
Mission is not now able to answer all
Of these appeals, many of which have
been very carefully Investigated and
found deserving. She asks that the
| good people or Maysville and Masor
county who have children's clothing
about the house and not being uset
by their own little ones, who might b,
more fortunate in having better cloth
ing, send those discarded clothes Il
the Mission at once for use by thes'
children who are quite anxious to at
tend school but who are being KEEP
from school for the lack of suitable
clothes. Cash donations will also b.
received and the money thus contrib
uted will be. used in furnishing thes
\ children so that they will not miss
single session of school.
All contributions should be made t
Miss Best at the City Missions quar-
ters in the Caproni Building.

COUNTY POOR farm
MAY Be SOLD AND
DIVIDED INTOLOTS
Deal Now On Between County Com
missiOners and Realty Company
For the Purchase Of County
Poor Farm For Division
Into Town Lots and
Baby Farms.

1t became known today that deal
between the Mason County Commits
sioners and a big Kentucky Realty
Company for the sale Of the County
Poor Farm just east of the city was on
and was progressing very satisfactor-
lily and that within a short time 1t was
more than likely that the county farm
would be divided up into town lots and
baby farms and sold to the highest and
best bidders.
1t has been known for some time that
the Mason County Commissioners are
anxious to sell this farm and purchase
another in the county and build there
on a first class and up-to-date building
which will be large enough to house
all of the inmates under one roof
properly.
The realty firm which Is now deal
ing with the Commissioners recently
held big lot sale at Brooksville which
was quite success in every way and
they are very anxious to put on such
a lot sale in or near Maysville realiz-
ing that the housing condition in
Maysville is one Of the city's most SER
ious conditions and one that must be
solved within very short time for
conditions are such that people CON-
Ing to our city to make their homes
are unable to find houses in which tC
reside.
The Inflrmary grounds would be ar
ideal place for a new suburb and Al
the same time, 1t is so situated thai
from this farm several good sized baby
farms could be laid off upon which
the city man could keep COWS, chick
ems and have a good sized garden plo
as we'll.
Mason county has long needed frs
class building In which to house thu
unfortunate and 1t appears that this |.
the opportunity for the realization O
a dream Mason county officials ant
citizens have long had.
The cottages now on the poor farm
would likely be moved to plots by thu
realty company, improved and en-
larged and sold with the lots givint
the buyers a home already construct
ed.

five DOVER WORKMEN
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH AT NOON
Automobile Engine "Goes Dead, on
Railroad Track and Freight
Crushes It To Pieces-Fiye
Occupants Escape With
out Injury.

Messrs. Verne Durham, Leslie Col
Inns, Thomas Martin, Hanson Wilson
and Charles Morrison, all employees Of
the Dover Button Factory, had a very
narrow escape from death or serious
injury at noon today when going to
their homes from the factory for the
noon meal
Mr. Durham, who lives quite a dis
tance from the factory, rides to his
work every day in his Studebaker au-
tomobile and at noon today he took
i the other four men with him in the
car to take them home for their meal
When the car approached the C. & O.
railroad track, they noticed the Mays
ville-Cincinnati local freight stopped
near the crossing. The train fiagman
signaled for the automobile to pass
over the tracks but when the auto
pulled up onto the tracks the engine
died.. About that time the freight
train started up and came toward the
automobile. The FIVE occupants of the
automobile jumped out of the machin,
and ran escaping injury but tn,
freight train crashed into the automo
billie and crushed it to pieces so badl!
that it cannot be repaired.
The gentlemen occupying the ma
chine are quite fortunate that they es
capped so easily from what might hav
been instant death or very serious in
