THE PAUPACK DAM
(Continued from Page One.)
whiskers on me as long as Abraham
before we'd get enough Americans
to do tile work. You couldn't get a
building put up In Honesdale even
without sending to Scranton for
workmen."
Mr. Mungan ridiculed the rumor
that: it was the Intention of the com
pany to furnish water to Scranton.
"You'd have to pump the water over
the mountain to get it there," he
said.
Herman Harmes, Esq., former
district attorney of Wayne county,
thought the project would be a bene
fit to Hawley.
"They are only getting ready,"
he said. "I guess they are only get
ting stuff preparatory to cleaning off
the land. Homer Cross is the fore
man in charge of the job. A saw
mill is being erected. They are go
ing to convert the standing timber
Hto marketable sizes. Tho timber
Is mostly oak and pine. Thoy are
going to turn out mine props, ties,
sprags and everything that is sal
able. "All the1 properties affected by the
dam are sold. All are-under1 options,
and' quite a number have given
deeds:"
Mr. Harmes thought it would bene
fit Hawley, at least, during the time
they are doing it. They will em
ploy a number of men, and bring
quite a number of men here. This
will bo their headquarters.
SIN YEARS TO FINISH.
"It will take live or six years to
finish it. Tho power is to be used
for any one who wants to use It.
When It is once finished, Hawley
will be able to use the electric pow
er, and draw more manufacturers
here.
"Quito a number of families will
be affected. At Tafton recently the
hotel property was sold for ?9,000.
"The silk mill which is run at pres
ent by water power, has always been
able to run even in dry time, by
storing a little water at Wllsonvllle.
Thoy get 385 feet fall in a mile In
the dam they are going to build.
They have a method by which they
use the water over and over.
"Wllsonvllle was temporarily the
county seat of Wayne in 1801, when
Wayne and Pike were one.
".Men are cutting trees in tho
woods. They are going to build a
tramway from Wllsonvllle to the
Eddy, to run the logs out, and to
convey material for the dam up the
same road. Thirty men are working
In the woods. They are .also erect
ing a saw mill, tho engine bed of
which is already finished."
The talk then drifted to a stab
bing affray among the Squirt Hillers,
where a man was cut in the back of
his head and right between the
shoulders with an axe; whero the
men trade wives as they would
horses.
To get local color for his story
the reporter footed it out to Pau
pack Falls. It was only a mile but
then miles in the country are so
long compared to city miles. He
stopped at several farmhouses along
the way to Inquire how much farth
er on the Falls were.
"It's a right smart piece," "It's
only a short ways," "We don't think
anything of walking up there in ten
minutes," were some of tho replies
ho got to his questions. N. B. He
didn't meet a single dog on his
tramp.
Arriving finally at the scene of the
proposed dam, he gazed in awestruck
wonder at tho mighty Falls of the
Paupack; viewed tho rainbow over
the crest; mid deep ho imagined he
saw tho ghostly form of an Indian
maiden, with uplifted finger as If to
say, "Paleface beware! Cross this
yawning abyss, white man never
safely passed, Begone!"
Mute mementoes of former at
tempts to harness the Falls were to
be seen in stone-walls rapidly falling
Into decay. Two or threo bouses
dotted the 'Steep sides of the stream
Not a human being was in sight. The
sun uegan to sink below tho horizon.
A ghostly feeling was In tho air.
Admonished hy the sight of a woods
man returning homeward from his

hand, the reporter wearily turned
his way HawleywaruY-
A passing rig driven by a stalwart
farmer boy offered him a chance for
a ride. He accepted It with ala
crlty.,
FAltM BOY'S STOUY.
"Yes, wo sold our 50acro farm to
the company and got a good price
j safed by the young man, who was
urivuit; to iinwiey to tano, nis sistor,
who worked in tho silk mill, home
from her day's work. His folks
would be obliged to move to Hawley
soon. Ho had been offered work by
the Company, but since he had to
drive his sister to work In the morn
ing, and go after her In the evening,
ho was bemoaning his fnto at not be
ing able to accept the chance.
