Proposition Would Make River Nav
igable for 150 Miles Above
Falmouth Great Electric
l'lun Proposed.
A Falmouth news dispatch says:
Options have been recorded In the
office of the county clerk here. It was
learned today, on 25 acres of land on
the farm of Mrs. Doc I a Logan on tho
north side of the Licking River and
117 acres from W. E. Blaslngamo on
the south side at a point three miles
above Falmoirth, where It Is proposed,
according to published reports, to con
struct a hydro-electric dam costing
$7,000,000 to furnish light aud power
for Kentucky towns and cities within a
radius of several hundred miles, and
probably for Cincinnati.
S. A. Tcocher, Indianapolis, engin
eer, made three Inspection trips of the
river between here and McKlnneys
burg, seeking the best natural site. J.
Oldham, local representative of the
syndicate promoting the enterprise,
assisted.
The bod of the river Is solid rock at
this point and the hills on either side
are of stone. A dam such as the one
proposed would. It was said, cover low
land along the river for 50 miles up
stream and thiB land would have to be
purchased. Much of the-Louisville and
Nashville- tracks would be submerged
together with valuablo farm territory
This property cost Is Included In the
$7,000,000 estimate. The dam should
make the river navigable for 150 miles
above It.
Cities which could bo served by the
locking hydro-electric plant are Fal
mouth, Mt Olivet, Drooksville
Augusta, Wllllamstown, Owcnton
Georgetown, Paris, CarliBle, Flem
ingBburg, Maysville, and, as the serv
ice Is extended, Covington. Newport
and northern Kentucky cities and ol
most all of the cities of the Blue Grass
and the edge of the mountains.

Fast West Bound Passenger Train
High Have Been Wrecked Had Not
Pedestrian Discovered Link.
What is thought by some might have
been an attempt to wreck west bound
& O. train No. 5 Thursday morning
was frustrated by a well known East
End man quite a bit before time for
the train to run when be removed a
large Iron '-'open ring" which had been
fitted over one of the rails on the west
bound main line. The link would have
probably been found later but before
the train ran by a track walkor.
The gentleman who removed the ob
struction was walking down the rail
road track and when between Houston
avenue and Union street, be noticed
tho heavy Iron ring carefully fitted
over the rail. It would certainly have
derailed tho train had It not been re
moved.
It might have been placed on the
rail with a deliberate purpose to
wreck tho fast train or It might have
dropped onto the rail from a passing
freight train. It was, however, fitted
lirectly over the rail.
