ELECTRIC COMPANY FILES CON-
OWINGO COST SCHEDULE

An itemized cost schedule has
been filed with the Commissioners OF
Hartford County, at their request, by
the Philadelphia Electric Company
and subsidiary companies who built
and own the Conowingo dam.
The figures, according to Mr.. Nc
Nabb, are duplicate of those fur
nished the State Tax Commission,
which have been in the local Super
visor of Assessments hands for the
past several months and cover the
costs of construction in Maryland up
to January 1st, total OF approxi-
mately $36,00O,OO0. 1t is generally
understood that the entire construc7
ton Of the dam including the usual
sover head charges" on such devel-
opments will total between $50,OOO,-
600 and $4,000, 900, approximately
two-thirds of the actual costs being
expended in Hartford county. Work
since January 1st has included in
stallation of the giant turbines and
power house completion, probably
adding millions to the figures includ-
ed in the statement given the Com
pany.
The project, besides being one OF
the largest of its kind in the world,
is unique, in that it was completed
several months ahead of schedule
and was within the appropriation al
lowed for the work.

IN READINESS FOR CARNIVAL
Booths Erected and Everything In
Shape For Opening

Shape For Opening
Contractor Ryan and force Of
workmen this week erected the
booths on the carnival grounds, and
the finishing touches are being put
upon them, in preparation OF the
eighth annual carnival OF the Com
munity Fire Company of this town.
The tiremen and the ladies of the
auxiliary are busy with the endless
things that seem to bob up, but
everything promises to be in ship
shape for the opening on Friday eve
ming of this week.
Box after box of merchandise,
candy, etc. has been received for
the various booths, and a fine as
sortment will be displayed to tempt
those who attend.
A number of valuable prizes are
to be given free, the only require
ment being that the holder OF the
number drawn must be on the
grounds at the time to claim the
prize.
The handsome Chrysler Sedan
that some lucky person will get on
the last night of the carnival, is on
display at Britton's garage.
The parade of visiting companies
on Tuesday evening, July 81,
promises to be larger than ever,
judging from the number of COM
panies that have accepted the invi-
tation to be present that evening.
A feature of carnivals held here
is that there is plenty Of free park
ing space right at the grounds, in a
well-lighted field, and when one con-
siders the hundreds of machines that
there are to find parking space for,
this is no small convenience for
those who attend. There is plenty
of room, no matter how many ma
chimes there are to find places for.

wants to see this city progress.
 It is the community spirit that brings the citizenship closer together and eliminates the lines drawn by cliques. To accomplish anything for the good of the community senti- ment in favor of the proposed project must be created and it is easy to create this senti- ment if the proper community spirit prevails.
 The main object of this life should be to make the world a better place in which to live but this cannot be accomplish ed with a citizenship pulling in different directions. The lesser differences should be forgotten when a project is put forth whereby the entire community will prosper and be benefited. If every citizen of the community would get together and eliminate minor prejudices, work with but one object in view and that to make their town a good place to live in, the things accomp- lished would form a monument to the present generation and an inspiration for future gen. erations to continue the good work.

PROSPECTING.

Little pieces of yellow ore found in a ditch started the California gold rush. Glitter specks of dirt found on a beach in Alaska gave birth to the stampede for gold at Nome. All the great oil booms in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Tex as and California came from spurts of black liquid from holes in the ground. Strike oil or dig up a nugget of gold and in unbelievable time the news will have travelled to the far corners of the globe to make it's source focus for hordes of fortune hunters.
 But we need not look to such rare things as gold rushes and oil booms for illustrations of mans treasure-hunting instinct when every day there are communities demonstrating it anew, though in a less pict- uresque and smaller way.
 These are the cities and towns affording advantages which advertise themselves. Good wages and employment are the lore" and industrial and business opportunities, are the "oil" that bring to these com munities new citizens, new industries, new business and greater prosperity.
 Every community has it's "vein of gold" or it's "oil gusher," i" but many, like Russia and Mexico, have failed to develop their rich resources. While they nave SlumDered, albeit fretfully, others have been prospecting" and broadcast ing to the world the treasures they have found.
 Community prospecting al- ways produces paying dirt, " There is not a community, not excluding the mightiest me- tropolis, that could not discov- CT new mines and wells of com munity development merely by a little digging and drilling.
 And Hyder has only just reached the point where it can start prospecting it's commun- ity resources.

of person, the merchants got together and issued a state ment which may we'll be heed ed here:
 Numerous complaints are being received from house. wives who report that they have lost money through pur- chasing merchandise from un- known house-to-house ped dlers. Professional swindlers who go from city to city have victimized thousands of house wives. Merchandise is misrep- resented and, if delivered is often inferior to samples shown. Advance payments are sometimes collected, the ped dler vanishes and the merchan- disc is never received. Investi- gate before you buy or invest.
 "Your responsible local mer- chants support all civic and public enterprises, pay taxes for the city's development and support, and give employment to thousands of hometown people. You can always see them personally for the adjust ment of any mistakes.
 You are safe in buying from responsible local stores"
