10 LAKES CREATED ABOVE TALLULAH Falls Not to Lose All Charm for the Tourists Even Though Harnessed. TALIATLAH FAI/LS, GA., June 13.-- The Tallulah river still is surging over the rugged steeps which make its series of falls, and the roar of the cascades may still be 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 end enterprise are spending 15.000,000 to turn the river into an un derground tunnel, divert it from its ancient bed and send 1t plunging down Blx 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 anchored in the solid bedrock fbf the gorge, Its foot planted In the stone of the river. It is 90 feet yhlgh and 20 feet wide at Its crown. 3>Ullt to withstand the pressure of the wake which It must hold back. Create* Lake 10 Miles L6no|®| Above the dam the trees have-UiSpn .•tripped from. the ravine to the'tine 'Jwhlch will soon be the bank of a Itftg and narrow, lake, extending from we dam to Sawtooth falls, a mile and a ISialf above. Still farther up the river, ®etween eight and ten miles, another Bam Is being built to store the waters <or a reserve supply, and above this a ten miles long will provide a sup ,'jply of power for even the longest Between the lower dam and the pow fer plant, more than a mile below, th' Igorge remains untouched. Not a tree ■'has been felled, not a scar left behind {the workers. The natural beauty of -the crags and forests Is undisturbed ■But when the dam Is completed there ■twill be but little water flowing.over the series of falls during the tourist sea Bon. The river Is low then, and the power plant will use the full current of *the stream When the flow is heavy. In the spring and 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 are driving a mon- Bter tunnel from above the dam to the brink of the gorge helow the falls. The tunnel passes directly below the houses which make up the village of Tallulah, but hundreds of feet beneath the sur face. It follows the right side of the gorge, looking down the stream, for a mile and one-fourth, emptying Into an enormous pit at the brink of the gorg. From this pit in turn will lead six gigatitic penstocks, or pipes, leading down the side of the gorge, standing almost vertically. Their bases will b 600 feet beldw their heads. Through these penstocks the whole Tallulah river will fall to the turbines below. The force of that volume of water, fall ing such a distance, is hardly conceit Bble, Here, at the bottom of the gorge. <he power house la to be built, with electric generators coupled directly to jthe turbines. The effect of the development upon <he falls themselves Is easy to foresee. JWhen there Is more water In the river Ahan will fill the tunnel, there will be n Jlow over the dam and on to the falls hen the river Is below that volume the tunnel will take It all. Lakes to Attract Tourists. Officials of the cpmpany maintain <hat the loss of the falls will be repaid 4n part by the new beauty of the two 4akes formed above the dams. These Bre to be stocked with fish, and boats (provided for tourists, and the lakes yvhich will fill the mountain gorges •they say, w!H be equally as beautiful as the cascades From the power house leads a line of <tall steel towers, 781 of them, streteh- Jjng 100 miles to Atlanta. On these tare being strung the six high-tension popper cables which will bring the cm - gent into Atlanta. The cables w : enter through the Davis street plan the current will be convert' d into low tension direct current for comm ■ use, and the song of Tallulah will n sung by spindles and wheels, instead »l mountain boulders It Is confidently extracted to have the plant complete by January 1 next, and a sharp reduc tion In electric rates is promised i- Boon a« the new power Is turned on.

Lulu Mc- Connell, with the assistance of Grant Simpson, scores strong In a comedy sketch and the rest of the hill is of that quality that wins the attention and applause of every audience. There Is a bill of tremendous Interest for the coming week. There has not been an offering In all the history of the For syth that cost more or has been made of better material It is a remarkable vaudeville combination for any city out side of New York or Chicago, but the Forsyth s promise to keep the theater going with the host material possible to secure Is going to be kept. The show will have two headliners: Joe Welch, the great Hebrew comedian, and Trixl Fri ganza Is well enough known locally to place her in the drawing ranks. There wtl be other features of sterling worth including the famous Asahi troupe of Japanese wizards. Mrs. J, E. Langford. Mrs. J. H. Langford, 37 years old. died at a private sanitarium today.

Seeking to abol ish the right to apes! police cases to city council a resolution has been presented to the city fathers asking the legislature to amend the city charter. 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 we 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 be 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 about it 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 hie 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. BIGGER IW FOR STATE'S EWER \ 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 representa tives in 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 present salary of $3,000 per annum to at least $5,000. 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 cf 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 general is the highest attorneyship within the gift, of the state. Another reason is that this higher and highest office is overburdened with work. "The governor of the state never makes a legal move without calling upon the attorney' general for advice. In fact, the word of the attorney gen eral is superior to that of the governor, if the governor recognizes strictly the office of attorney general. If a legal error Is made by the chief executive, the attorney general, in fact, is respon sible. At least, more than the gov ern or.”. Mr. Hutcheson says he already has the promise of large and influential support inside the legislature for his proposed increase in the attorney gen eral’s salary. A TEXAS WONDER.
