HEIiON HARRISON VI SIT '
CAUSES POWER SPECULATION
! >?*"". *%? ?
?* ?
The visit last week o? Andrew
Mellon to tke power sites on the lit
tle Tenhessee, Nantehala,- and TucR
seigee rivers, followed, on Monday of
this week of a similar visit by presi
dent Fairfax Harrison, of the South
en Railway Company, has provoked
much speculation in Wester a North
Carolina regarding the possible im
mediate development of the Tallassee
Power Company's vast potential pow
er holdings in the Southeastern count
ies of this state, although, it has been
authoratatively stated that the coming
of these two gentlemen into this re
gion has nothing to do with the pow
er development..
However, it is known that the Ta
lassee Power fWn^nv /levoioper of!
of the power rights already referr
ed to, i^ a subsidiary of the Aluminum
Company of America. It is also known
that Mr. Mellon, in addition to being
Secretary of the Treasury and grand
high mogul of the Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover administrations, is the
owner of a large block of the parent
company of the power concern. An
other thing that has beta long known
in Western North Carolina is that, if
and when, the Tallassee ^people, of
which Mr. Andrew Mellon is pcrha])s
the ehiefcst of whom, decide to uti
lize the potential power on our rivers,
that it will be necessary to relocate
some 15 or twenty miles of the South
era's Murphy Division's tracks be
tween Bryson City and Bushnell.
The power propetry comes up the
STORM AGAIN STRIKES BETA
. For the second time within a week
the Beta section was visited by heavy,
rainfall, when early last night a storm
of considerable intensity struck Beta
and the territory in that immediate
vicinity, washing dirt, rocks and
water upon the highway, holding up
traffic for some time, and doing much
damage to growing crops.
The storm of last evening did not
eover as much territory as that of a
week ago, not being so severe in the I
Carver Mountain and Caldwell's creek j
country; but it was as severe as the
previous visitation, in and around the (
Bate station.
MM. GEO. M.OOLE DIED FRIDAY
R?ncral services of Mrs. Geo. M.
Cole were oonducted at the Methodist
HBhnrch in Cashier's Valley, Sunday
afternoon by the pastor, assisted by
Bar. Geo. Clemmer, of ?ylva.
Mia. Cole, one of the best known
%aaipn in the county, was 76 yean
of ag^ and ha<h been ill for several
?MMihar prior ot her death on Friday.

Calderwood
owner
Tuckaseigee river to Bryson City. It
takes in a long stretch of the Tenn
[ essee, and of the Nantehala, and is
probably the most valuable water foi
power purposes in all the mountain
region.
Add these facts to the unusual and
unexpected Visit of Mr. Mellon to
these parts, and the equally unexpect
ed trip of Mr. Harrison to the site
of the projected power development,
and the people who are wise in the
mountains are of the opinion that
there *will probably be something of
moment occur in the vicinity of Busn
nell before many moons have passed
The dams already constructed ir
Tennessee and this state by the Ta
lassee people, are but a part of th<
power system on the Little Tennessee
and its tributaries, as originally con
templated in the vast scheme. It has
been said by competent engineers that
Mr. Mellon^ holdings here arc eap
able of developing more hydro-elec
tric power than Muscle Shoals, about
whi^jh there lias been so much pother
for the past dozen years. It is be
lieved that a total of $15,00^,000 is
yet to I# expended in North Caro
lina before the system is completed.
At any rate it is significant that
Mr. Mellon should pay us a visit, and
that Mr. Harrison should show up in
this neck of the woods before the
Secretary had scarcely returned to
Washington. It is not believed that
either af.tjtiese two gentlemen paid so
brief aviut to these /mountains for
his health.
