The mill raceâ€"is at present rather low, just being kept high €nough to allow sufficient water . to pass through to rup the electric light plant in the evening. The reason for this is that new sleuces or gates are being put in as the old ones were in a very dilapidated condition. When the new ones are finished they will withstand the water for a good many years. POPD¢ 04040000000 $0006 09004 F. Meilke took in the Niagara Falls excursion last Saturday. .
