POWER AT DAM

     Between five and six hundred men are now at work at the dam and power plant sites. The river bed is now being prepared by a large force for the big fill, the water having been diverted through a specially constructed channel for a distance of 600 feet. By utilizing this flume power is being generated for electric lights and motors.
     There are no new cases of small pox, but two or three of the men became ill from the effects of vaccination. Tuesday a man had his arm pulled out of its socket and was otherwise badly crippled.
