TOWNS IN ALASKA
Serious Loss of Life Feared in
Violent Eruption of Mount
Katmai.
WASHINGTON. June. 11.—The
towns of St. Paul and Wood Island in
Kodiak. Alaska, are covered by one
foot of lava, ashes, sand and pumice
stone, and other villages have suffered
in like manner from an eruption of
Mount Katmai, which, beginning on
.lime 9, lasted 48 hours.
Wireless messages from -the revenue
cutter Rush, relayed from Seattle, say
lives may be lost and that much danl
- has been done.
Congress Asked For Aid.
In bls wireless message to the reve
nue cutter service Captain Perry, of the
Rush, says that he believes the extent
of the damage "is far beyond that of
any In modern history." He asks for
an emergency appropriation from con
gress "in the name of humanity.” Ho
states that there is imminent danger of
suffocation owing to the gases which
cover an immense area.
Captain Perry says that so far he
has been unable to ascertain from what
volcanoes the eruption came.

SCRIBES INSPECT
TALLULAH FALLS
Officials of Power Company
and Local Newspaper Men
Make Trip to Resort.
Atlanta newspapermen, piloted by
Milt Saul, publicity director of the
Georgia Railway and Power Company,
left for Tallulah Falls today to go
over the gieat work now under way
which will develop the water power of
the Tallulah river and convert it into
electrical energy for turning wheels in
Atlanta. The party left early this
morning and will spend the whole day
at the plant.
The Georgia Railway and Power
I Company, the great merger into which
i the Georgia Railway and Electric Com-
I pany and a dozen smaller concerns
were amalgamated some time ago, and
which is capitalized at $57,000,000, is
developing 90.000 horsepower at its
Tallulah plant, which will be only one
of several w'ater power units now un
der construction, or planned for the
future. It is believed that in a few'
years Atlanta will be offered electric
power so cheaply that the use of steam
coal will be to a large extent abandoned
and that the use of the electric cur
rent will go a long way to solve the
smoke nuisance problem which has giv
en the city so much trouble.
One Dam Over Half Done.
Two great dams, a tunnel and a
power house are the chief feature of
the work at Tallulah. The lower dam
is about two-thirds finished. It is be
ing built by the Hardaway Construc
tion Company, and all the rock used
comes from a quarry just below the
dam. The tunnel, which carries the
water, is to be about 6.660 feet long.
12 feet wide at its widest point and 14
feel high at the top of the arch. It
will be lined with 12 inches of concrete.
The tunnel is now about half finished.
The development of Tallulah Falls
will cost the company about $11,000,000,
and the work will be finished in about
a year. It is expected to furnish elec
tric current to Atlanta. Cartersville,
Rome. Gainesville. LaGrange and other
Georgia cities'. It will be the largest
hvdro-electric power unit south of Ni
agara Falls, and the greatest plant in
the Southern field now being developed
by' the Georgia Railway and Power
Company.
Reduced Rates Promised.
A' sharp reduction in electric rates,
as soon w? the power from Tallulah
reaches Atlanta, has already been
promised by the company, and is ex
pected that in a year or two after the
plant is completed Atlanta will be truly
an "electric city" with motors taking
'■ the place of private steam plants and
■ the use of soft coal almost entirely
abandoned.
