In this distance the river falls some 1.400 feet, giving opportunity for four or Ave large power devel opment unite that would be capable of producing between 170,000 and 260,000 horsepower, according to the estimates of reliable engineers. varying with the conditions of stream flow.

Of the four or five units con templated, the largest dam neces sary, he asserta, would be between 175 and 200 feet high, and one of the units, engineers have comput ed, would develop upward of 80, 000 horsepower,, secured either through tunneling or by ft canal to gain the needed sheer drop giving 700 foot head.

Mr. Springs feels that with unex celled water, climate, plenty of raw products at hand or easily secured, and with good labor conditions, such power would naturally at tract prospective manufacturers to Western North Carolina, in which he has implicit faith. With this in mind, he has cov ered the entire 33 miles of river bank, upon both sides, securing op tions or deeds outright to thousands of acres of bottom land. r roil ii II iipip (LMIUulU l Lull ML r Mimwa " asn AAA UUUIA Ur W,U Notices Have Been Mailed For First Rehearsal Of Chorus.
