There are zv-oa& miles or .water

made by the Ambursen nydraulic
Construction company, . of , Boston
shows the water flbw : to amountto

The tract is heavily timbered,
much of it being virgin forest, but
it is not the present purpose'of the
purchasers to develdpe the timber
While the purchase is largely iri .the
nature of a time investmeht,(the
ultimate idea is essentially the full
est utilization of tte water power in
hydro-electric' development -1 The
jdea is to conserve indefinitely
every inch of rainfall on this water
shed, and the timber growth will be
handled in conformity with - this
idea; although ultimately it isprob
able that the ripe timber will be
marketed. No development of the
property in any :way is to be under

suffered more than Jackson for the

look forward to a greater day. One
of the blessings that better Toads

: CULLOWHEE NORMAL
': I had the pleasure ; of " spending
one night ; at the. CuUowhee Normal
and Industrial school,' being most
delightfully entertained in the home
of Rev. L. B. Abernethy, who spent
several, years at Canton, to which
place both he and : his ; family are
still very warmly attached -The
board of Trustees had just held
their, annual meeting the day I was
tore and to the i ' delight of ; every
one had re-elected all the old teach
ers. 1 This is . the strongest . - possible
testimonial to the spirit of harmony
and efficient, work that k characteri
zed the school the past year : nndef
what was' practically I a complete
reorgariization.

The new macadam . road together
witlLthe enlarged buildings will do
much to enlarge its sphere of use

see Prof Reynolds, who together
with Prof. Wilson 'and Dr. Joyner
was off on a fishing trip in Canada
after the meeting of the board.
But teachers and pupils are most
warm in their praise of his wise
