humiliation which he has suffered on
this account has greatly damaged

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury y. c., Nov. 3.-The de-
velopment of Il water and electrical
plant which promises to be second to
none in the South is being undertaken
in Davidson county, the seat of op-
erations being some five miles East
Of this city. A corporation to be
known as the South Yadkin Devel
opment Company is promoting the
enterprise. Messrs. Dock Hartley.
Of Yadkin College, j. II. SWicegood,
of Tyro Shops, and Prof. j. NJ. Ban
dy of Greensboro, are among those
who head the movement the latter
being associated with the company
as civil engineer.
The plan is to dig a mammoth canal
eleven miles in length from point
on the Yadkin river at Yadkin Col
lege to a suitable location near Lin
wood. Davidson county. through
which The current Of the Yadlin river
will be turned
From the surveys already made ii
is learned that a head of fifty-fi
feet OF water can be obtained in the
eleven miles.
The canal is to be so feet wide
at the base and will average about
fifteen feet in depth which fact will
-
of the undertaking. especially when
ii is considered that the course of
the canal is across country leaving
the bed of the river several miles.
The necessary rights of way have
already been obtained from the prop
erty owners and the farmers along
the route Of the canal are enthusi-
astic over the prospects. Those own
ing river bottoms along the present
channel OF the river are also delight
ed with the project isasmuch as their
farm land will be in much less danger
of destruction by the frequent floods
on the great river. When construc-
ted the canal will cut off several
creeks and smaller streams and viii
run for seven miles down the channel
Of one creek crossing another eight
feet below its present bed.
IT is estimated by the engineers
that no less than 10000 to $4,000
horse power will be available at one
point when the canal and dam shall
have been completed, and that enough
power will be furnished to supply
many of the towns in this section of
North Carolina with electric lights
motor power and also for many 9TH
CT industries.

Washington, May s.-Chief Engineer
Newell of the reclamation service has
directed that preliminary surveys in
connection with the Bismarck, N. D.,
pumping project be pushed to compile
ton this season in order that owners OF
land i'll that section whose property
will come under the project may have
clear understanding of the plans OF
the service, and full knowledge of the
cost of water rights.
AT present the sentiment Of the peo-
pie apparently is not favorable to the
project. The conditions resemble those
that prevailed in Oklahoma, where the
landowners declared that any discussion
of irrigation was certain to injure prop
crty values and that irrigation was not
essential anyway. 4.s.%
A. light has since dawned on Okla
homa, and the people are now enthusias-
tically cooperating with the govern
ment in its efforts TO establish irrigation
works in the territory. - ~.-s
Mr.. Newell hopes that when complete
plans are presented, there will come
change of sentiment, and the North
Dakotans will evince readiness to CO.
operate. If no such change occurs, the
amount set aside for construction will
be applied to works elsewhere. and the

ance for several years. ya. r.. .sg l.. Z.
