Great Falls Dam Project Submits Plan to Harness Falls
Army engineers favor developing Great Falls as government property to supply Washington with power. A dam 110 feet high and 1,000 feet long would create 8,000 to 19,900 horsepower at low flow and up to 30,000 horsepower at peak. A steam auxiliary may run in low water. Estimated cost ten million dollars, with light to the National Capital and possible streetcar use. Negotiations led by Engineer Commissioner Judson date to 1911 with Leighton and Langfitt reports guiding study.

Mrs Schenk Wins Jewel Recovery Case In Divorce
In Wheeling, Judge G C Newman ruled for Laura Farnsworth Schenk in her suit against Clem Ceters to recover jewels valued at 200 dollars. The jewels had backed a 700 dollar loan to fund her defense against poisoning charges against her husband John Schenk. The court ordered repayment of principal plus 6 percent interest to return the jewels. Mrs Schenk lives in a terrace land flat and the divorce decree denied alimony, though maintenance may be provided conditioned on proper behavior.
