During thi : month the opera tion of the esmp was put upon a -moothly working basis, while the preliminary construction of the con- crente plant was well started.

At the present time it is being utilized to aid in the construction of the first cofferdam, of which the first few cribs are visible. The Oconee River, during, the month of Dree mb: r. surprised us by behaving very considerately, hi fact, nt the site of the dam, when the photo graph was taken, it Iflbdmost like a mill stream. Howt/e^ a good many old inhabitants of the district prop hecy all kinds of evil things of this quiet mill stream, and all of us carry j good luck tokens, varying from rab- I bits’ feet to lucky dice. One very important phase of the past month’s activities has been the improvement of the yard and plant railroad. In all, nearly three miles of yard and plant track have been laid, in addition to the one mile of main line railroad. The field en gineering department is preparing to lie back and take things easy since the number of derailments in the rather congested yard has diminish ed to practically none.
