POWER DAM
AT PIKE RAPIDS


7 Application has been made by the
Little Falls Water Power Company to
the federal water power commission for
q permit to develop the water, power
in the Mississippi river at Pike Rapids
and at 9 point near the 500 bridge, and
Il this permit is granted the company
will at once take steps toward COM
struction of a.powers dam at the Pike
Rapids site. This was brought out at
q special meeting Of the city council
held Monday afternoon, at which res
olution was passed recommending to
the federal water power commission
that the application of the Little Falls
Water Power Company for power
development permit be granted and
that the application of the Pike Rapids
Power Company be rejected. A hearing
was scheduled to be held on the Pike
Rapids application yesterday, before
the U. S. District Engineer in st. Paul.
The RESOLUTION adopted by the coun.
Gil stated that the permit should be
granted to the Little Falls company as
that is now going concern, supplying
electricity for Illuminating, power and
heating purposes, and because the
company needs more power to supply
the demand. The council opposed the
application of the Pike Rapids Power
Company on account of the fact that
said company is not going concern
but merely promotion proposition.
A. V. Taylor, manager of the Little
Falls Water Power Company, was
called to the meeting to explain what
he knew of the two propositions. He
informed the cou neil that if his com.
pany secured the power development
permit it would mean that the COM
pany will at once prepare to erect a
dam at the. Pike Rapids site two and
one-half miles down-river from Little
Falls, and that construction Of said
proposed dam would be completed
within two years. He pointed out
that the company is unable to supply
the demand for current and that sew
eral manufacturing concerns in Little
Falls, including the Itasca Paper
Company and the Peerless Granite
Company, are going to enlarge their
plants and will require, considerable
more power. The second site, at the
500 bridge, he said, would he developed
later, when more power is needed.
According to Mr.. Taylor the Pike
Rapids Power Company proposes to
erect a i4O-foot dam near the 500
bridge. This, he says, would back up
the water as far as Little Falls and
would render the Pike Rapids site
WORTHLESS.

piled.
"The gentlemen is evidently speak.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS MAILING
EARLY

Mail your Christmas parcels early.
This is the appeal the postal depart
ment is making to the public in order
to prevent congestion in the mails as
much as possible. By giving the postal
service sufficient time to handle the
vast amount of mail and parcel post
that Yuletide creates, the chances OF
missending are small and there is less
possibility of breakage than when un-
usually large quantities must be
handled. Extra help will be employed
at the local office next week.
