More than 60 men are now engaged in extending the railroad spur across the Provo river and completing the excavation of 9,000 cubic yards of earth to lay the foundation for the huge electric plant. A reporter for the Herald visiting visit-ing the scene for the first time this week, found unexpected activity ac-tivity for a project that was started only three weeks ago. Trucks were droning ceaselessly back and forth from the plant site with their loads of sand and dirt to build the railway grade. The steel rails of the new trackage were pointing out almost to the canal, and the steel bridge had been completed over the Provo river.

Richan, truck driver for the Utah Power and Light company, was reported nearly fully recovered from the shock Saturday. Mr. Richan was unconscious about five minutes from the effects ef-fects of the shock, and suffered two burns on his hand. The burns were only slight, according to Dr. Fred W. Taylor. A wire that had been torn down by the snowslide below Vivian park carried the static charge of electricity, strong enough to knock Mr. Richan unconscious. He was standing on a pile of snow when he picked up the wire. Had he been standing in water the shock would have been more severe. It was the first injury of any consequence at the snowslides in Provo canyon.

Walt Vindicates 'Washington Fable i t : 1U V-UUI lUSSlllg i - :Big Train" Chucks Silver Dollar Across Rappahannock Rappa-hannock River. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Feb. 22 (U.R) Walter Johnson John-son vindicated the George 'Washington fable today by chucking a silver dollar across the Rappahannock river. Then the superman of baseball tossed a couple more dollars across the icy river just to show how easy it was, while more than 6,000 shivering citizens cheered and the father of his country presumably turned over iix his grave. The dollar tossing was a festive occasion to test out the story that Washington threw one across as a youth. Governor Is There A 19-gun salute from a national nation-al guard gun heralded arrival of Virginia's governor, George C. Peery, and Walter. The governor turned his collar around his ears. Walter shed his coat. His red necktie fluttered in the wind. He wound up. His foot slipped. He wound up again and a silver cartwheel sailed across the 272-foot river like a bullet. It banged into a pier on the other side and sank, while urchins pondered advisability of jumping: jump-ing: in after it. Then Walter took a second dollar. dol-lar. He hitched up his pants, took a run and a jump, and let (Continued on rage Two) "officials on the matter.

At the same time, Mr. Collier made a reinspection of the other sites submitted several months ago, and completed all the data available on the matter for submission sub-mission to the department at Washington. He will probably be asked to make a definite recommendation recom-mendation to the department. Instructions to investigate all the sites were given Mr. Collier as soon as it was known that the county commissioners declined the proposal to exchange the present site for the northeast corner of the same block. Petitions voicing opposition to the selection of the Second West and Center street site were circulated circu-lated In the business district, Saturday, Sat-urday, to be forwarded to Washington.

A pile of partially burned kindling, which had been ignited from wads of newspaper, was found. Warden Davis doubted that a wholesale delivery of prisoners had been the motive.
