Those of our readers who doubted the genuineness of what was stated in a recent issue of The Gazette concerning con-cerning the project to build power plants in Salina and Six-Mile canyons with which to furnish light and power to Gunnison valley, will readily see that it was something else than vaunt by a persual of what here follows, taken from ' Saturday's Herald-Republican : Utah Towns to be Benefitted Thor Company Has Big Project For Light and Power The furnishing of light and power for a doEen southern towns is a part of a mammoth project contemplated in the organization of the Thor Power company, whieh has just been incorporated. The new company will commence work at once on its large power plants, and will push to completion this work as rapidly ss possible. From its plants in Salina and Six-Mile Six-Mile canyons in the Sanpete Valley transmission lines will carry light and power to Manti ou the north and to Riobfield on the south. The lines will radiate in all directions, furuishiug light and power for all of the towns and villages in southern Sanpete county and northern Sevier eounty. The water rights in the two canyons and franchises in all of the towns affected af-fected have bsen secured. Manti and Richfield have email municipal lighting light-ing plants, but their capacity is so limited that the citizens are welcoming welcom-ing the new company. The company is capitalized at half a .million dollars. A. O. Burritt of Salt Lake, president of the Ohama mine, is president of the company ; F. J. Yates, an electrical engineer of Salt Lake, is vice president ; and Mark Anderson, a business associate of Mr. Burritt, is secretary and treasurer.
