Power Company Files
Request To Dissolve
River Falls Power CO., Organization
Which Built Plant At Clifton
Hollow, Has Applied to Railroad
Commission For Authority
To Dissolve

The River Falls Power Co., organ
lied several years ago for the pur-
pose of developing and distributing
electric power from a plant on the
Kinnickinnic river at Clifton Hollow,
some eight miles west of this city,
has applied to the Railroad Commits
sion of Wisconsin for permission to
dissolve.
The corporation was organized by
Senator Skogmo, B. w. Utman and
others, and stock was sold Throughout
this section of the state and in Min
nesota. The plant at Clifton Hollow
was in operation only short time,
after which the power line and other
equipment, at Prescott and Hastings
and the rural lines, were connected
up with the Wisconsin Minnesota
(now Northern States Power Coz
circuit and have since been operated
under lease with that concern.
Some have confused the River Falls
Power Co. with the city plant at Riv-
err Falls. There is no connection be-
tween the two, the local plant being
municipal affair owned and operat-
ed solely by and for the city of River
Falls, and is not a stock organiza-
ton.
The Railroad Commission issues
the following notice of the River
Falls Power Company for authority
to dissolve:
Notice of Hearing
Whereas, the River Falls Power
Company die on July "a, 1924, file
with the undersigned Railroad Com
mission of Wisconsin an application
for an order of dissolving said COR
poration, pursuant to the provisions
of Chapter 191.03 of statutes; and
Whereas, Notice Is Hereby Given
that on the Goth day of August, 1924,
at ten o'clock in the forenoon of that
day at its Office in the Capitol in the
City of Madison, the Railroad Com
mission of Wisconsin will hold pub
lie hearing on said application, at
which time and place all persons
interested are requested to be pres
ent and present such testimony as
may be proper in the premises.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this
25th day of July, 1924.

first degree murder.

legged statement, killed his father,

NEARLY BLINDED BY
EXPLOSION OF METAL

Don Healy and City Electrician E.
E. Buck had narrow escape from
losing their eyesight yesterday after
noon while working with molten me-
tai at the lower electric light power
plant.
They were pouring babbitting into
one of the boxes for the main power
shaft when the metal, presumably
from an air bubble, exploded and
splashed the hot liquid metal all over
them.
Mr.. Healy's eyes were severely
blistered, and it will be some time be-
fore the wounds will heal. The in
jury is not expected to permanently
affect him, however.
Glasses worn by Mr.. Buck protect
ed his eyes. Both lenses were COM
pletely covered with the metal.

POLITICAL SPEECHES
ARE WELL ATTENDED

Senator Huber, Dane county, and
Sol. Levitan spoke at Odd Fellows
hall last evening in the interest of
their respective candidates. for lieu
tenant governor and state treasurer.
There was a capacity attendance.
Senator Huber's was a typical po-
litical speech, but Sol. although
mindful as we'll of the usual cam
paign tricks, came out with more
sound and definite logic in his appeal
to the voters.
Sol. is a good treasurer, and he
conducts the Office as he would his
own bank, with business instead of
political foresight.
