LAKES CREATED
ABOVE TALLULAH
Falls Not to Lose All Charm for
the Tourists Even Though
Harnessed.
TALLTI.AH FALLS. GA.. Jun® 13.
Th® Tallulah river still is surging over
the rugged steeps which make its series
of falls, and the roar of the cascades
may stil: he heard from the brink of
the giant gorge. Rut mingled with the
rumble of the waters is the shrill song
of the compressed air pump, the hoarse
puff of the donkey engine, and now
and then the dull boom of a dynamite
blast
Capital and enterprise are spending
>5.000.000 to turn the river Info an un
derground tunnel, divert It from its
ancient-bed and send it plunging down
BIX enormous pipes to giant turbines
below. It is harnessing the falls to
turn Atlanta's wheels, and Its 90,000
horsepower will keep the city’s ma
chinery spinning right merrily.
Above the village of Tallulah, a few
hundred yards from the Cliff House, is
-rising a great dam of rough stone and
•concrete, anchored In the solid bedrock
*>f the gorge, its. foot planted In the
jgolld stone of the river. It is 90 feet
which and 20 feet wide at its crown,
’ ( t>uilt to withstand the pressure of the
Jakf which It must hold back.
Creates Lake 10 Miles Long.
Above the dam the trees havi Mr
♦tripped from. the ravine to the tffl'
{which will soon be the bank of a fc>3fc
«.nd narrow lake, extending from inL
'dam to Saw-tooth falls, a. mile arid
Jbalf above. Still farther up the
Tbetween eight and ten miles, another
Bam Is being built to store the waters
for a reserve supply, and above this a
Jake ten miles long will provide a sup?
•ply of power for even the longest
drouth.
Between th® lower dam and the pett
ier plant, mor* than a mile below, the
<orge remains untouched. Not a tree
has been felled, not a scar left behind
the workers. The natural beauty of
.th® crags arid forests is undisturbed.
But when the dam is completed there
will be but little water flowing over the
aeries of falls during the tourist sea
eon Th® river Is low then, and the
will use the full current of
the stream. When the flow is heavy, in
the spring >nd winter, there will be
enough water flowing over the dam and
down the gorge to restore the falls to
their old beauty.
Six Gigantic Penstocks.
Through the solid rock of the moun
tain crews of men ate driving a mini
ster tirnuei from above'the dam to the
brink of the gorge below th® falls. The
tunnef passes fllrecllt below the houses
■which make up the village of Tallulah,
but hundreds of feet beneath the sur
face. ft follows the right side of the
gorge, looking down the stream, for a
mile and one-fourth, emptying into an
enormous pH at the b'iuk of the gorg,
Prom this pit in turn will lead six
gigantic penstocks or pipes, leading
down Mb® side of the gorge, "standing
almost vertically Their bases will b :
600 feet below their heads. Through
these .penstocks the whole Talltiln’. 1
river will fall to the turbines below.!
The force of that volume of water, fail
ing such a distance, is hardly conceiv
able. Hvie at the liottom of the gore
the power house Is to be built, with 1
Blcctric-generators coupled directly .J
the turbines
The effect of the development upon
the falls, themselves is easy to for. sei
IWh®n there is more water In the river
than will fill the tunnel, there will be a
dflow over the dam and on to the falls
JWhen the river Is below that volume
th® tunnel will take ft all
Lakes to Attract Tourists.
Officials of the .ornpany maintain
*that the loss of th. falls will b® repaid
-In part bv the new beauty of the two
Sakes formed .>bov® the dams These
are to be stocked with fish, and boats
provided for tourist', and the lakes

Up and Down
Peachtree
How Bobby Walthour
Got His Speech Twisted.
Walter Taylor, city clerk, is about
the busiest man around city hall, but
he is never too rushed to tell a yarn
and never expects to be. Somebody
mentioned a speech of acceptance some
recipient of an honor had made, and
Taylor sprung this one:
"Ever hear about the time w® gave
Bobby Walthour a loving cup? You
didn’t? Well, Bobby made some speech.
"You see, Walthour had been clean
ing up prizes riding a bicycle all over
Europe, and when he came home tri
umphant Henry Durand and some of
the rest of us thought it would he a
nice'thing to give him a loving cup
from his Atlanta admirers. So we
raised the money, framed up to present
it between the acts at the old Bijou
theater, and told Bobby aboutlit so he
could make a graceful 'impromptu'
speech.
"Bobby got his address all ready and
learned it by heart. He'd stop on the
corner and rehearse it, and they say
he used to get out in the back yard be
fore breakfast and deliver it to the
chickens. He was all trimmed up for
an oratorical effort.
"Lowry Arnold made the presenta
tion speech, with Bobby sitting in'a
box next the stage. Then he signalled
to the bicyclist to come up and make
his speech of acceptance.
"Walthour climbed onto the stage,
took the big cup in his hands, opened
his mouth, and got stuck. He stood
there in agony for a moment, and then
turned toward Lowry Arnold.
"Mr Arnold,' he said, I thank—l
thank—l thank you for your conversa
tion.’ ”
JUDGE’S BOYHOOD PAL
FACES HIM IN COURT;
GETS “REDUCED” FINE
When Lon Paris, a painter, walked
out before Recorder Broyles in police
court today the recorder Immediately
recognized the prisoner as an old
schoolmate.
Paris was garbed in a suit of old
working clothes and bore evidence of
having indulged in hard labor. He was
up for being drunk and pleaded guilty.
"Lon, I'm sorry to see you here in
this plight,” said the judge.
"Well, Nash, you don't hate it any
more than I do." said Paris.
As the recorder lifted his pen to
write the judgment, of the court he hes
itated a moment. He could see two
boy chums In school.
The pen wrote a fine of $3.75 in the
book. The customary fine Is $5,75.
"Thank you, Nash," said Paris as
he left the room.
BIGGES PW FOR
STATE'S LAWYER
Carl Hutcheson Drafting Bill to
Increase Attorney-General’s
Salary to. $5,000.
Carl Hutcheson, a well, known At
lanta attorney, will request some one
or all of Fulton county's represents- )
tives iti the legislature to introduce a ‘
bill, to be prepared by Mr. Hutcheson,
calling for a raise in the salary of the '
attorney general of the state from the I
present salary of $3,000 per annum to )
at least $5,000. i
Mr. Hutcheson has conferred, in per- ■
son and by letter, with hundreds of
lawyers throughout the state, and he
says they are practically a ( unit in sup
port of his proposed measure.
Discussing 'his matter today, Mr.
Hutcheson said: •
"The attorney who accepts this re
sponsible office must indeed make a
sacrifice. The attorney to the railroad
commission obtains more salary than
the attorney general. This is unfair
for many reasons. One reason, for in
stance, Is that the office of attorney i
general is the highest attorneyship I
within the gift of the state. Another |
reason Is that this higher and highest I
■ >f!ice Is overburdened with work.
"The governor of tile state never
makes a legal move without calling
upon the attorney general for advice.
In fact, th® word of the attorney gen
eral is suparior to that of the governor,
if the governor recognizes strictly th®
office of attorney general. If a legal
error is made by the chief executive, |
the attorney general, in fact, is respon- i
slble. At least, more than the gov- '
ernor.”
Mr. Hutcheson says he already has !
the promise of large and influential i
support inside the legislature for his 1
proposed Increase in the attorney gen
eral's salary.
