BIG CONOWINGO DAM NEARING
COMPLETION

Actual Construction Almost Finished
After a little more than a year OF
actual construction work, the Como
wingo dam across the Susquehanna
river, one of the largest projects OF
it's kind in the world, is nearing COM
pletion. The dam, of concrete mas
onry, is 1858 feet long, 100 feet
high, 85 feet thick and when COM
pleted will impound a reservoir of
water IA " square miles in area, and
at least 60 feet deep.
The power plant, which will house
the giant turbines, is nearing compile
tion and the machinery is arriving
daily and being installed. The wat
er for the turbines will pour through
the opening at the base of the power
house. After passing through the
power house, the water will course
over the spillway, which is now und-
er construction, and pass down the
river. The roadway on top of the
dam is also nearly finished.

An agreement was signed last
week by the Public Service Electric
and Gas Co. of New Jersey, the Phil
adelphia Electric Co. and the Penn
sylvania Power and Light Co. for the
interconnection of their power sys-
TENS and the building of transmits
sion lines. The combined capacity

understood the contract has been en-
tered. to transmit hydro-electric pow
er to Philadelphia from the new
52,O0O,O00 plant at Conowingo,
Maryland.
Under the contract just signed, the
generating stations and transmission
lines of the three utility corporations
become one of the largest electric
generating pools in the world.
Three main transmission lines,
totaling 206 miles and number of
switching stations are to be con-
structed before 1880, at a cost of ap-
proximately $26,OOO,OOO.
The signing of the contract is ac-
cepted by public utility experts as
the first step in a power generating
scheme that eventually win take in
the entire eastern section of the

BARN BURNED-BODY FOUND IN
RUINS

The large barn and grannary on
the Slack farm, near Iron Hill, were
destroyed by fire early Wednesday
morning of last week. The farm
had been vacant for some time.
During the afternoon following
the fire, while two boys were digging
among the ruins they found the very
badly charred body of man. Cor
oner Green was notified and had it
removed to Ptppin's undertaking es-
Establishment, Elkton. Nothing could
be found which would give any clue
to his identity VIM. B. Walton, a
merchant at Iron Hill, stated an un-
known white man came to his place
|of business Tuesday night, and made
inquiry about place to stay over
night, that he left with intention of
going to the vacant barn on the
Slack farm. The supposition is that
while smoking he set fire to the
building.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

Don't forget the school supper
Friday evening of this week, in the
church basement. Tickets have al
ready been placed on sale, and the
advance sale looks as if our supper
is going to be very successful.
Our soccer and volley ball seasons
open on Friday afternoon, when our
teams will meet the Perryville boys
and girls on our own field. We
would like to see a good crowd on
hand at the game. Both games
will begin at $3.50 O'Clock. The
teams have been practicing daily, and
are showing splendid improvement,
considering their inexperience.
Mr.. Gibson, State Supervisor of
Music, and Mr.. Ruhl, County Super
intendent. visited the school on
Tuesday. Mr.. Gibson seems very
well pleased with the work being
done by our Music Department. The
music teacher has announced her
intention of organizing High
School Glee Club.
All the Social Science courses in
the High School are supplementing
their regular courses, with the better
type of magazines, such as the
Literary Digest, Review of Reviews,
The Scholastic and Current Events.
We feel that in order to make a
course in history or civics success
full we must link the past with the
present. We also hope to develop
the good reading habit among the
pupils by this means.
The elementary school is devoting
the morning recess to period of
play, under the direction of their
teachers. This plan is proving very
successful.

SEARCH LIGHTS AT ABERDEEN


We have received numerous in
quiries relative to the beams of light
seen to the southwest, in the even
ings.
They are from the powerful search
lights used by the 61st Artillery, at
Aberdeen. The powerful beams
shot into the air in practice each
night are operated against airplanes
for anti-aircraft gun practice and
present beautiful spectacle. The
cause of the supposed phenomenon
in that the lights show on high
clouds and not on the low ones, is
that the powerful rays penetrate the
lower clouds but break on the high
ones at the end of their projection
powers. These activities at the
Aberdeen army post will continue
until about the 10th of November.
