Electrical Sparks Narrows Power* House Notes The Mountain Club people are going ^head canning and preserving in prep- ^yation for the winter and> bid H. C. L. Since Mr. J. L. Adkins found that he couldn’t conveniently arrange to con dense and can .the milk from his cow, sold the “critter.” As for the others at the Club—V. O. Moore, M. M. Holiday and W. H. Clark—they canned every thing they had in the way of garden stuff. The construction work is progressing nicely toward the construction of the cyib line. One cableway and one der- ^ick are up and are being used daily. The coffer-dam is coming along well, and will be completed in a few days if the construction men are not held up. Well, the lost J. B. Mintz has been found and returned. Miss Mabel Louise Jordan, of Asheville, captured him. After two weeks away on his honeymoon, visiting friends and relatives in South Carolina, he has returned to his work, and is living at 142 Maple Street. The station is pulling a load of sixty- thousand horsepower, equaling twenty thousand horsepower on each unit. At Pi"esent the lake is at its maximum height, 541, and three tainter gates are ®Pen, allowing the surplus water to pass. The oil leak on ;No 1 unit hasn’t been found yet. Mr. Roth has been inspect ing this unit twice a week for the past six weeks, and has just about come to the conclusion that the oil is coming from the vapor from the guide bearings. Take notice, teachers and office girls! Mr. W. H. Clark, of the ^Mountain Club, has a neatly furnished apartment and would marry, I suspect. First come, first served! (Who is W. H. Clark?) Everything is going about as usual hi ^the station-nothing new. The switch board operator, W. G. Poplin, seems to enjoy the quiet period very much. Lsay it is nice for a beginner. September 23, V. O. Moore took leave for a few days. This is his vacation, which he is spending in good old South Carolina. Electric Shop Notes David Zail, who was recently trans ferred from the electric shop to the pot rooms, handed us the following before he left. Whether he is the original au thor or not we do not know: Simjile Arithmetic He was teaching his girl arithmetic. He said that was his mission; He kissed her once, he kissed her twice And said “Now, that’s addition.” And while he gave her smack for smack, In joyful satisfaction. He stopped to take a few from her, And said: “Now, that’s subtraction.” Still he lingered then to kiss. With neutral relation, The bold lad doubled up the sum And said: “That’s multiplication.” Her father came and raised his foot. And shouted in decision, The poor chap struck the earth six blocks away. And said: “That’s long division.” Due to “Dad’s” faithfulness and per severance we are once more almost up with our motor winding. It has been eighteen months or more since we were entirely up witht all the motors. Here's hoping we will not be struck with an other epidemic of burn-outs before we catch up one more time. We were recently paid a visit by the Cleveland Crane Company’s inspector, who went over all our cranes in the car bon plant. He reported these cranes in a little better than average condition. This was indeed gratifying to us. Thanks to Roxy. Has wojnan ^sijffrage ruined Leap Year? Mr. W. M. Myers says he has not had a single proposal of marriage since the Susan B. Anthony amendment passed. Mr. C. Ritchie spent Friday in Salis bury, attending the Fair. Mr. L. E. Wilson spent Saturday and Sunday at his home. Falls Power House Notes We don’t know why Mr. Rodgers doesn’t go to town as often as Mr. Bar nette does, but I guess we will know soon for from what we can hear Mr. Barnette has spoken for the next four-room cot tage.
