One of the largest crowds ever to

the organisation home on La Salle I
St.. yesterday afternoon, when Starved j
Rock Council conducted their annual
services commeniorating those of the
chapter who havo passed away dur-
Ing the last year. Hoth the down
stairs and the balcony of the lodge 1
room was tilled with members of the'
organisation for the service.
The Very liev Dean John P. Quinu,
who passed away in August, was tha
only Knight to die during the past
year, so the service was devoted en
tirely to memorial for hini.
The address of the afternoon was
delivered by ilev. t'osgrove, chancel

struct ion at Marseilles to electrify the
top of the dam at Starved Rock will
be above sea level or U'l feet below
the lake level at Chicago, which is
580 feet above sea level. 461 or two
feet higher than the top of the dam
is probably the estimated permanent
low level of the water after the dam
is built since it is understood that the
state is proposing to pay for all land
up to the elevation of 461 feet. This
permanent low water level of 4Cl feet
ihove sea level is just twenty-two feet
below Washington park and if anyone
knows how many feet the river has
raised in the past during flood time
from low water It can be estimated
pretty well what floods have in store
for Ottawa after the dam is built. A
rise in the river of fifteen to eighteen
feet from this permanent low level of
canal?
