Water Rushes Through Mile Tunnel To Northeast Georgia’s Fifth Large Plant 1 New Georgia Railway & Power Co. Plant Eight Storiea In Heighth— Cut Tunnel Through Mountain Mile Long—Name “Terrora” 1 Tallulah Falls, Ga., March 17. The Terrora tunnel and generating plant of the Georgia Railway & Power Company was opened this/ week, with the first unit of 15,0(W horsepower placed in operation and connecting with the high-tension transmission system which covers I north Georgia. The Terrora tunnel, more than a mile long from its intake in Lake Rabun to the turbines at the head of Lake Tallulah, cuts off six miles, df river and gives the water a drop of 194 feet through tunnel and pen stocks, operating two waterwheels of 15,000 horsepower each and gener- i ating 20,000 kilowatts of electric i energy when installation of equip ment is complete. The tunnel was bored through solid rock, construction crews working from both ends according to blue prints which were acurate to a hair’s breadth and brought the crews to gether midway between the two entrances a year after boring was begun. The Terrora development is the fifth of the power company’s pro gram for harnessing the Tallulah and Tugalo rivers to the wheels of Geor gia industry. The first was Tallulah Falls dam and generating station, followed successively by Mathis dam at Lake Rabun, Burton dam at the j head of the system and Tugalo dam and generating station on the Tugalo | river just below the convergence of the Tallulah and Chattoga rivers. Next to be completed, following Tetrora, will be Yonah dam and power station four miles below Tuga- | lo station, and Nacoochee, on Tullu lah river below Burton dam, both of which are < nder construction, and then the Bi ton generating station at the head of the system, for which the dam already has been built. The new powerhouse, as tall as an .eight,story office building, is set in the solid rock at the head of Lake Tallulah. Its substructure is of re inforced concrete and its superstruc ture of brick and steel. The two waterwheels will have a capacity of 15,000 horsepower each. With the completion of the Terrora project, the company’s building pro gram w ill center on the Yonah dam and power plant which is already under construction, and which will ; have a dam 75 feet high and 800 feet long, waterwheels of 37,500 horsepower capacity and generators of 25,000 kilowatts capacity when completed. The Terrora plant was opened without formal ceremony. A few 1 score of the men who have had part , in its, construction gathered in the power plant when it became known I that the hopr had been set for open ing A cheer burst from them as the v ' ,ers were heard rushing against the £aterwceels, but this was quickly droVnfed ill the hum of the generator and,Terrora was adding its load of electric energy to that being pro duce'! by the other power houses on i the system. —— o Bio Y* W.

S. CLARK, JR. This morning up at Reed Creek there are ten basketball players who can truthfully pat themselves on their backs and declare to the world that they have the best basketball team in all of Hart county. The championship came as a re sult of her victory Tuesday night over the Bowersville quintet by the score of 29 to 15. This was the final game of the tournament. How They Won Reed Creek began her winning streak by crushing the Mt. Olivet team by a 29 to 19 score. Next came Eagle Grove who was turned back to the tune of 20 to 16. The hardest game of the tournament for the Reed Creek boys was the game with Nuberg Monday night, when Reed Creek barely nosed out Nuberg by a final score of 18-14. This was considered by many as the best game of the entire tournament. The game with Bowersville was rather loosely played, Reed ('reek having the edge all the way through. On the Reed Creek team Coach Roy Hodson has five of as good basketball players that can be found anywhere. They are all fast and know how to handle the ball. And they pass, too, this being shown in the game with Nuberg. Besides this the Reed Creek team boasts of men who can shoot goals from most any 1 position. Only one player on the i team rarely ever shoots a goal and I this is Madden. He makes up any defect along this line by his good guarding. Nuberg Girls Champions The Nuberg girls’ team waded through the Sardis outfit Monday to bring home the bacon and the cham pionship- -the final score being 29 to 8. The first half began with n rush, 1 but was filled with some good ex hibitions of excellent guarding. Dur -1 ing the intermission Coach Brown must have given his girls a glimpse of the banner that would be presented to the winners of this game for they came back in the last half with an avalanche of points sufficient to take ’ possession of the beautiful orange and black banner announcing the winners of the Hart County Tourna ment so far as the girls are con corned. o _ SHOW COLLINS CAVE SCENES In the news reel at The Star- Theatre Thursday and Friday will be shown scenes at the Claude Collins cave in Kentucky, which will likely draw a good crowd to Hartwell’s playhouse. » i Other interesting world-wide events. ’ are shown in the news reels which appear here every week. family were present for the funeral services in Atlanta Sunday afternoon.
