TO SPEND Sl50,000 ON
POWER HOT Sc AND DAM
Vermont Hydro Electric Co. Begins
Operations on Large Scale

Operations on Large Scale
Rutland, Oct l3--following the
granting Of the petition by the Yer
mont Public Service Commission to
consolidate the Colonial Power Com
pany, the Claremont Power 4 Light
ICo., the Western Vermont Power d
Light Co., and the Clarendon Power
/ Company under the name Of the Yer
mont Hydro Electric Company, exca-
yations were begun Saturday to con
struct a power house and dam on East
Creek two miles north Of this city at
a cost of $450,00O.
The product of this power house is
to be something over 100000 kilo-
watt hours year.
The dam will be one of the largest
in Vermont. IT. will have cement
core with dirt front and back. 1t will
be "a feet above the water level, 450
feet long across the stream, with a
wing dam or retaining wall of cement
running upstream 900 feet. The
cement core wall will go Is feet below
the surface of the ground. The
trench in which the cement will be
placed will be ID feet deep, practical
| ly IL feet wide and 400 feet long.
The excavatng will all be done this
fall and winter and the concrete put in
as soon as the weather permits in the
spring.
The concrete wall of the dam will be
approximately 80 feet high. In order
to get the dirt, $4,000 cubic yards be-
ing required for filling front and back,
the workmen will go into the bank
above. II is proposed instead of haul
ing this dirt by teams to get it by
the sluicing process. By this method,
a high pressure stream of about four
inches of water will be shot into the
bank and the dirt will come down in
SlulceWays IN solution.
The 5000 feet between the dam and
the power house will be connected
with pipe line of six-foot diameter
made of Douglas fir from the State OF
Washington, the slaves already being
on the way. There is a fall of prac-
tically 100 feet between the dam and
the power station.
The machinery bought to do the
work cost $4,000.

Fuller played right field on Jim's
team and whenever he. came to bat
the entire camp joined in addressing
pertinent remarks at him. He made
no errors in the field, but it must be
admitted that not single ball came
in his direction. Perry proved his
ability as a ball player and was
chosen for the Varsity second base
man. A camp paper was issued
daily and Place put Canaan on the
map by being the reader of it and by
contributing poetry and pertinent
questions. When it came to eff
cheney in the eating line Scutty had
the crowd beat mile. He just kept
quiet and ate, and he took good care
to see that the table was we'll sup
piled whenever he was waiter His
only desire was that the cook would
put more salt and pepper in every
thing, including the water. Hen
Dodge upheld Canaan in the athletic
meet, and saw to it that practical
jokes were not lacking. Rusty Yale
was a stranger in a strange land, be-
ing the only Canaan fellow in the
sleepy tent 6 crowd. He must have
found some friends there for he al
ways had a smile on his face, and
won the highest number of points for
the Honor Awards. In the Aquatic
meet he showed himself the best
swimmer in his class, specializing in
the under water events. 1t should
have been said that Scutty is Some
fancy diver, having originated sew
eral for the occasion. Doug entered
into everything with his usual pep
and established a reputation among
the fellows for wit and "come
back" for everything. Jim made his
presence known Thursday morning
by jumping up after his table had
been assigned to dish washing and re-
Winding Mr.. Saxton that they had
washed the blooming dishes only
the day before. The act made him
popular with his own table, but the
rest of the fellows kidded him a good
deal for it.
On Thursday afternoon the en-
tire crowd hiked to within a couple of
miles of Kent Falls, and had supper
in field at the roadside. Even home
baked beans couldn't taste better
/ than Bills did that evening. On the
way back to camp Mr.. Carpenter of
Salisbury treated to ice cream at
Kent. After the. boys had left the
store Mr.. Giddings, the proprietor
said to one of the local men, "That's
the best bunch of boys ever had in
the store, it was a pleasure to wait
on them. Why, they even brought
their paper dishes in instead of
throwing them on the ground" It
started to rain when they left Kent
and the hike to camp was accom-
panied by a none too gentle down.
