10 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 ■which will flu th., mountain gorges Jthev say, wifi be equally as beautiful as th® cascades From the power house leads a line of st»ei towers, 781 of them, stretch ) ting 100 miles io Xtlan'a tin thes.

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. ~ 1— .
