Great Power Plant Projected.

Information from reliable sources in
dicates that the Hagerstown AMI Fred
erick Railway Company is considering
tne erection of great power unit at
the coal mine at Confluence, Pa. Sur
yeys have already been made for the
erection OF transmission line from
Confluence TO the nearest point of the
present system, which is located at
Berkeley Springs The erection of
such plant, it was stated, would elm
mate the freight charges on coal, a
large item in the cost Of production
of power, and would mean that power
rates throughout the system would oe
reduced about 25 per cent.
The capacity of the present system
is about 25,OOO kilowats, while with the
new unit it would be raised to $4,000
kilowats, it is said.
The new power unit would feed into
the present system and would furnish
power to Hagerstown, Frederick, Mar
tinsburg, Winchester, Berkeley Springs,
Waynesboro, Creencastle and Frost
burg.
The plant Of the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company will 70 =
low the same plan recently recommend
ed to the United States Government BY
w. S. Murray for the electrifying of
the entire territory between Boston
and Washington by one great electric
system, it is said.
This plan would eliminate all small
power plants, with the exception OF
water-power plants and those located
at coal mines, and would result in the
saving of millions of dollars annual
iy, it is said.
The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-
way Company began its expansion sew
eral years ago when it acquired the
Northern Virginia Power Company,
which supplied the northern section Of
Virginia and West Virginia Grea:
water-power plants we're erected at
Dam No. q, ong the Potomac, and al
Millvile, on the Shenandoah river
The original plant of the Hagerstown

Gated at Security, near Hagerstown.

ed at the sight of these big dpves of

streets were not as well made as they
are now-mud in wet weather and dust
IN dry times-and sidewalks were
rougn and uneven or altogether miss

herds crowding through the streets and
trespassing upon the sidewalks until
1t was not safe for small boys to be
out of doors. The bawling cattle and
the loud yelling of the drovers made
pan 1emonium at times and clouds of
dust would envelop the herds. Usually

For Farm Loan Bank.

At meeting Of some twenty-five
Jefferson county farmers in Charles
Town last Saturday steps were taken
toward organizing a Farm Loan Bank
Association under the provisions of the
federal bill providing for such banks.
The central banks are located in var
ious cities throughout the country,
and branches may be estab ished in
each county where there is a demand
for farm loans. Money is loaned TO
farmers only, on first mortgages, at 6
per cent interest, payable semi-annual-
~, and borrowers may secure loans
up to SO per cent Of the value of the
land and 20 per cent of the value of
the buildings. To establish one of
these banks ten farmers must be
found who will borrow not less than
$1,000 apiece. II is believed that this
will be done in Jefferson county, and
those who are interested in the prop
osition believe that il will be a yery ex-
cellent thing, as loans can be secured
for long terms at reasonable rates II
is said that banks Of the county favor
the proposition. Another meeting is
called for Saturday Of this week in
Charles Town at O'Clock in the court
house: Those interested are urged to
