Definite plans are now being made by
which II. T. Henderson & Bro. of Du-

to erect a large water power electric
plant ON Little river near Blanche, sta

the Chattanooga Southern. at a cost of
between 100000 and $l5OO,0OO, for the
purpose of supplying power at cheap
rate to Gadsden, Rome, Admission, Ala
bama. City Alfalfa and other nearby
manufacturing towns.
The scheme has been under considera-
tion for several weeks, but it was only
during the past few days that it took
definite shape. A large corps of engi-
neers are now surveying the proposed
site, and it is understood that estimates
for the preliminary work will be adver-
tised for within the next few days.
The company is ably backed financially
and is fully prepared TO start the work.
The Hendersons have been engaged in
mining work throughout the west for
some time, and have associated with
