THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS.
11 ATLANTA HAS BONE
BACK TO THE OLD-TIME
How Atlanta ha* yone back to the
•ld-time water power is told in a
-triklng statement Issued Tuesday by
I. M. Atkinson, head of the Tallulah
’alls Water Power Development of
be Georgia Railway and Power Com-
•any.
A score of years ago the power
would have been applied directly. Mr.
\tHnson, in his statement, describes
*iov the water power is converted
nto electric energy and conveyed to
Atlanta and other points, four of the
enerators alone developing more
ban 68,000 horsepower
Mr. Atkinson is highly gratified
*ver the outcome of the development
vork at Tallulah Falls, and declares
hat its success is much beyond his
exportations. Unfavorable weather
•olfdltlons failed to dim the impres-
rive showing.
Efficiency Determined.
The promoters of the gigantic en-
erprlse have been able to get a thor
ough idea of the efficiency of the new
power plant's operation in the nearly
r hrec months that power has been
I’umished customers.
Gere is Mr. Atkinson's statement:
"The Tallulah Falls Water Power
Development of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company now is practi-
ally completed. Four of the genera
tors, aggregating 68,000 horsepower,
re in operation and the fifth will be
'•eady for operation in a few days.
These generators have a capacity of
>rer 17,000 horsepower each and to
gether aggregate 85,000 horsepower.
"The plant has been in commercial
operation, furnishing power to Its
■ustomers, since September 24. The
"esulte obtained so far have been
gratifying everyone concerned, as
they indicate that much more can be
expected from the Tallulah River
than was estimated. This autumn
has been one of the dryent for several
years, but notwithstanding this fact
the output of the plant has been
largely In excess of the estimates.
This result is being obtained without
the Mathis storage reservoir. Had
this storage been available this au
tumn the amount of power would
have been 50 per cent more than the
estimate upon which the construction
of the plant was undertaken. It is
estimated that the Mathis storage
dam and reservoir will be completed
in February.
Steady Flow of Water.
"The actual results of operation
during th* past two months prove
that the Tallulah River has the un
usual advantage of a steady flow of
water during the dry season, this be
ing due partly to its heavily timbered
water shed and also the fact that It is
fed by many permanent springs.
There has been no rain of conse
quence for about two months, yet the
river has dropped its flow very little
in this time, and is still amounting to
50 per cent more than the estimates
upon which the construction of the
plant was based.
"The experience of this dry period
has also proved that the Mathis stor.
age reservoir Is only necessary during
times of protracted drouth, and that
at all other times there will be ample
water in the Tallulah River for the
full output of the plant. The entire
experience of the last two months of
operation of the plant, during the
dryest period of the year, has been
most gratifying and has demonstrated
beyond dispute that the plant will be
a gTeat success and will exceed all
the predictions of its builders.”
'Straight Phosphate'
Powders Real Waste
In all th© Baking Powder "Wars”
that have been Intermittently waged
in th© last twenty years, one point hae
been overlooked Tho question of
keeping quality, and therefor© effi
cient in raising bread, the only pur
pose for which baking powder is used,
appears to have been generally ig
nored. There are many powders
which, when fresh, and the can is
first uncovered, will do fairly good
work, but after standing for some
time on the pantry shelf the powder
becomes so weak as to be almost
worthless so far as raising bread is
concerned. This is especially true in
case of the so-called "Straight Phos
phate" powders.
The housewife to whom economy is
an object will avoid these "Straight
Phosphate” powders.

Buying Bookkeeping
The other day a man said he had
no use for an adding machine be
cause—"my bookkeeper wouldn’t
have enough work to do."
Just think what that man said.
He is trying to do his work in the
slowest way he can. just to keep a
bookkeeper busy.
The thing for him to do is to cut
down the amount of work that the
bookkeeper is doing, and then give
the bookkeeper some other work
that would be sales-producing—
more profitable to him and the
bookkeeper.
Of course you see the point—
write or phone for a demonstration.
