Inestim able and Intractable. Such has been the story of the past. Within - i recent . years wonder ful .changes have been wrought, lb. r cranes at Great Falls hflv hon shifted "' and there ls-1 new , life- apparent on every hand. "Where formerly there were no houses, houses have been built; where the rumble and roar of the engines was never heard, there la now nothing but a din and confusion of noise; where ' men seldom came, now they are to be neon by the hundreds. A railroad la being laid, warehouses and stores are being ulK, the woods ars being cleared and everything made ready for the harnessing of the stream. Thla development Is being made by the ' Southern Power Company. At , Great Falls, there are sites for three " separate and distinct developments from which 76,00 horse-power of elec tricity may be obtained. Work Is now being done on the first of these from with approximate! y 46,000 horse-power will be secured. The contract for the machinery, costing $260,000, was let some time ago to the Westlnghouse Company. It is estimated that the . total development will cost something , like W.WO.OOO. , . Great Falls Is In the center of the greatest textile manufacturing section " m the South. Spartanburg county - alone has 30 mills which consumed last year more than 300,000 bales of cotton. The same in a greater or less degree might be said of the other counties In this-piedmont belt. The current from -the development at Great Falls and from the other sites on the Catawba owned by the same company, will be used, to supply these mills with the necessary motive power. This section is the - manufacturing center of the smith and it is ex d Ac ted that the oper ation of the greater number of the ' mill will be by electricity. The area of the section so supplied will be about ' J miles long and 0 mllea broad. , In view of the fact that the develop " inent at Great Falls is to figure largely , in the commercial activities of the pied mont section of the Carollnas In the , ' coming decades,, a more detailed de scription of the work will not be amiss. n W -.41.1.... .... .. .u nlanl lath method of water storage. By a diver- - slon of the water supply from the Ca tawba river to the head of a natural canal a storage reservoir Is obtained " "which Is one fourth of a mile wide and ,lwo miles long, lying parallel to the - river bed. At right angles across the lower end of the canal, forming this natural reservoir, a powerful retaining ' wall has been built. In the retaining wall six 8200 horse-power twin hydrafc ' lie turbines will be Installed which will '" operate at a rate of 225 revolutions per -' minute from a It foot head of water. - There will he added to this equipment ' two 700 horse-power twin horixontal ex 'eiter hvdraulitc turbines to operate at speed of 450 revolutions per minute from the same head. The water, from ' the tall race after leaving the turbines ' BW tr ww . - - - - The power having thus been generat or win he transmitted In all directions. One line will be run up the river to the Catawba power plant from wnence u 'will be transmitted to Charlotte. Cas tolan. Kook Htli and other points. " Other main lines will be run to Colum bia. Bnsrtanburr and other principal manufacturing points in South Caro lina. These lln will largely depend on the amount of power taken In das .. tnnfa. flock Hill. Charlotte and ln- ' tervenlng points.
