Great secrecy is being maintained by those securing the options, but that it is for the purpose of erecting a big power plant seems to be the general opinion. One reason for this belief is the fart that the land would be of little value for anything else as much of it is of a wildly rugged nature. There is plenty of good sandstone to be sure, but it is not believed that it is wanted for the stone. It is claimed by those who are familiar with the situation The taking of options on land along Slippery Rock creek between Kennedy's mills in Lawrence count and McConnell mills on the edge cf Butler county, is causing considerable spec ulation among the farmers.

Guard rails have been built to inclose the belting used for propelling the machines, while exposed gears have encased under metal covers. Notices have been posted on these giuvd rails surrounding the machines that it is against the shop rules for employes to oil, adjust or repair tools while running and that this rule will be strictly enforced.
