age, for though he is 81 years old he
Is active and hearty and as lively as

across this mighty stream and estab-
lish an electrical plant Of some doc. 600
horse power, which will result in the
ultimate development Of large indus

tied electrical power. Mr.. Jarrett says
that his observations in New York

point in business depression has been
reached and that there will be a grad

liminary investigations into several
very large engineering propositions
