spilled it's occupants into the lake.
They chung to the upset boat until help
came. The men were rescued easily,
but the woman, who weighed over two
hundred pounds, could not be gotten
into the boat and had to be towed in
until she could touch bottom in the
shallow water. The experience did not
| upset her in the least. She came back
to visit the place of her adventure
couple days after.
That Edgerton can not be efficient
ly taken care of for electrical power
without new transmission line seems
TO be the general opinion. Mr.. Blak-
esley, the Wisconsin River Power COM
pany's agent here, states that the limit
of voltage is reached now and the in
creased need of the manufacturing con-
Germs here, and the new homes added,
will put the system to severe strain.
The substation for Edgerton suggested
by the company is a way out, and as
soon as the company can dispose of
sufficient amount of stock to handle the
financing of it, it will be built. All
who are interested may call on MIR.
Blakesley and hear the situation ex-
planned.
