To Spend Forty Million «Dollars Littleton, N.H.,, Dec, 13.--~Work on the huge upper dam of the New Eng- land Power Association, which will impound 73 million gallons of water and create a lake 12 miles long and will - cost approximately $40,000,000, will be started early next summer, according to 8, C, Moore, vice presi- dent and general manages of the as- sociation, Many were of 'the opinion that the upper dam would not be started until the lower dam at Mon- roe and Barnet was completed, The dam at the so-called upper de- velopment will be 175 feet in height and the length of the crest will be 3,300 feet, It will be 820 feet above sea level. The water at the power house will be conducted through pen- stocks 21 feet in diameter and about 150,000 horsepower will be turned out. Rapid progress is noted at the lower development, Coffer dams are now being put in and over 800 men are now employed. This number will be increased as soon as possible to 4,000 who will be employed for sev- eral years on both the lower and upper project, In about two weeks the five miles of railroad will be completed. This runs from Inwood on the C.P.R. to the lower dam site at Monroe and Barnet.

The women have become almost as interested in boxing as have the men. They are to be found sprink- led plentifully through the audiences and they applaud or express disap- proval of the fighters nearly as heart- ily as do the male fans. The bull ring on the occasion of a prize fight presents A scene pot umn- like that of an especially construc- ted boxing arena in the United States. It forms a complete circle with the seats rising in tiers from the center or pit. The prize ring is set up in the middle of the pit which is large enough to afford room for many ringside seats. Thirty persons can be seated com- fortably in the bull ring and a good boxing programme usually finds it well filled. The boxers have their dressing rooms below the stands and are led into the pit through the same en- trance used by the "toreros" when they sally forth with their scarlet capes to do battle with the beasts. CONFEDERATION Canadian National Railway Of- ficlals are being congratulated on having continued the popular "'Con- federation" in operation between 'Toronto and Edmonton. This innovation has eliminated most of the delays experienced by travelers crossing the Prairies in the Winter time as it provides a fast through, comfortable service to Edmonton, via Winnipeg, Bramn- don, Regina and Saskatoon. By this route good connections are made to all important points by lines radiating from these cities. .The splendid equipment and courteous service -- always a fea- ture of tlie "Confederation"--en- sures a pleasant journey without the discomforts of Winter travel.

BLACK CATS RARE IN COUNTY OF YORK Bone of Boiled Feline Plays Big Part in Witch. Craft York, Pa., Dec. 13.--There are no black cats in York County, where 150,000 people live as pros- perous farmers or as residents of this bustling modern city, which retan with all its vigor some of the dignity of colonial days, There are mo black cats for a reason that will be touched upon later, and then none to fully, In York County, also, it is nol well to be a he-goat, Bearded billy goats have died in York County and the disposition of their remains has in some cases not provided dinner-table conversa- tion, Nor has the alert A. I, Rees, whose colored advertisement offer- ing to turn dead animals into money through their hides, bones, grease and tallow forms the chief embellishment of the local tele- phone directory, ever been notified of the death of some of these goats, Just at present, it is not well to be a witch-doctor in York County. But that is a passing phase, an in- direct result of the death of Nelson D, Rehmeyer, who was burned bound in his farm kitchen, as the witches of Salem were burned at the stake. Rehmeyer's death, con- fessedly at the hands of a rival practitioner in the black arts, has stirred up a sensation leading to a general investigation of pow-wow- ism, hexing, voodooism, necro- mancy and witchcraft, At least three previous deaths of adults are being investigated as a result. County Coroner L. U, Zech has charged that five cases of infant mortality within the last two years are directly traceable to the black The local practices are a strange mixture of medieval magic, which some German pioneers brought over when the country was. first settled, of pow-wowism, an embellishment gained from Indian medicine-men, and voodooism, imparted by the Arfican slaves of nearby Maryland, Pow-wowism pretends, at any rate, to be benevolent, healing the sick, warding off ill-luck, The other two are usually malevolent and sinister, Once Hexed, there 1s nothing to do but seek a more powerful charm, or else perish in & miserable manner, A good way to sell oneself to the devil and obtain the power of be- hexing for fun or profit, is to boil a live black cat until only the boues remain, Repeating the proper in- cdntation, one then drops the boues into a clear running spring, All of them will sink but one, One seizes that bone and keeps it forever. The left hind foot of a grave-yard rab- bit is less than nothing in com- parison, There is just a trifle more to this formula which it would not be well to repeat. An affidavit sworn by the patient attests to one instance of the power of Charles Rice, the "York miracle man," Always the Best Never Equalled ror 50 Years re whose pow-wowism process is known throughout five counties, Merely by rubbing the grease of a fish over the blind eyes of a woman, and doing certain other things not set forth in the affida- vit, he restored her sight, It is not pleasant, if one under- stands what they mean ,to discover two crossed burnt sticks bound to-| gether on one's door-sill, But a Broad street resident, a short time before national attention was fo- cused locally, went to bed a very sick man because be found a lesser something on his porch, (It was merely a human skull with a very short candle end burning within it. In police coust yesterday:for the 26th time, Charles B. *Dude" Whare followed the prevailing mode and held his right band be- fore the Mayor's face as the latter was about to sentence him, Mayor Jacob E, Weaver saw the dreaded sign--the index and middle finger crossed, Buf for once, magic failed, Whare received a week in jail to sober up. arts. Charles N. Fry, a special in- vestigator for Col. James Duffy, chief of the Bureau of Field Inspec- | tion of the Pennsylvania State De- partment of Health, has been in York for several days incognito, | checking up for projected action by | the state authorities the amazing | instances of active witchcraft in this section. These are taken by the most in- | telligent class of local residents | with a shrug, a partial denial and in some cases with the frank de- fense that no magic is practiced in York that is not practiced in other places in the United States. Bly- myre and his two neophites, young John Curry and Wilbert Hess, re- main in jail almost forgotten in the o'her matters that have arisen snce. They will have their chance after the January grand jury acts to convince a jury that they killed old Rehmeyer by trying to obtain his witch-Jlock, as they say, and not while trying to get his few hoard- ed dol'ars, as the police scoffingly maintain. It is not denied, however, that Rehmeyer believed in and practiced | black magic, even as Blymyre did. "The fact fis, there isn't an old family in "York County that hasn't resorted to pow-wowism or some- thing similar in at least one of its last three generations," one of the best informed residents of York told the United Press yesterday "How widespread it is at this moment would be hard to say. People deny it, especially when they are in good health. But when you are sick, what you want it re- lief, not false pride." It is significan. in this connee- tion that almost all York county residents are mative born. The for- eign population is only three per cent. Most of the others can trace their local ancestry back to the per- fod just before and just after the Revolutionary war, Not only in York, but in the nearby counties of Berks, Dauphin, Bucks and Adams is pow-wowism as live an issue as Rotary, and "hexing" as meaning- ful a terms as Kiwanis.
