Another Great Plant.


The Southern Power Company is ten
million dollar corporation, with headquar-
ters at Charlotte, and is backed by j. b..
and B. N. Duke. the tobacco kings. IL
already has the largest electric plant IN
the United States, except those at Niagara,
and is now carrying out projects that Will
develop 10000 horsepower from the
Catawba river. 1t owns nine separate
sites in the Piedmont section, where
rapids occur in that river between the
foothills and the lowlands, covering a
distance of 40 miles and a fall of nearly
1000 feet in the aggregate. The engineers
claim that by owning this great distance
on the same stream they will be able
to control the flow of the water as they
need it.
DR.. w. Gill Wylie, an eminent. physi-
clan Of New York, Is the promoter of the
project, and he told me very interesting
story.
II served through the war in the south
ern army" said DR.. Wylie, "and COM
manded a company before 1 was sixteen.
When peace came 1 attended the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, where the Le-
Conte brothers and E. P. Alexander,
three of the best engineers this country
ever produced, were my instructors. After
graduating l went to New York to study
medicine. and was partner of DR.. Ma
rion Sims from 1870 to 1905. l was able
to lay up about $4OO. 600, part of which I
invested in a little electric plant at An
derson, s. c. 1t was the first long-dis-
tance electrical power plant for cotton
mills in the world. That was in 1896.
when Anderson had 5000 people and
1900 spindles and farm land was worth
$15 and $40 an acre. We demonstrated
there that electricity would save IS per
cent in friction over the steam plant and
produce from to per cent better re-
suits from the same machinery. Realiz-
ing that people began to come in there,
and now the town has $4,000 population
and $1,000 spindles, and land IN the
neighborhood is worth from $40 to $50 an
acre.

Worlds Largest Electric Plant.

More electric power is used in the sec

England. One plant at Great Falls on
the Catawba river already supplies more
power than is used at Holyoke and Lowell

will soon have the largest electrical plant
in the world.
The largest cotton mills in the south

at once. The recent action of the city council in passing an ordinance pro- vIding that brick chImneYs should be placed in all houses within the fire lim- it's ought to be at once enforced. The
 old shacks that are dangerous fire
 breeders should be demo ished i'm
 mediately. Everything that can in any manner tend to reduce the danger against fire should be taken advantage Of and converted into preventative.
 Much has been said about the council Lot being able to condemn dangerous buildings, Legal advice, 1t Is claimed by those interested, has teen given which sustaiDs such a contention.
 This paper doubts very much if such advice is sound. A menace is a men ace and that is all there is about 1t, and fl the council in one place has right to abolish one, 1t has that same prerog- ative in another. Court will be in session tomorrow. The attorneys who are paid for rendering advice to Alas kan residents will be here within the next few days, and why does the council aot see then, once and for all, whether their hands are tied in the or not?

COUNCIL HOLDS
 SHORT SESSION

The city dads were in hurry to get to the dance last night and rushed mat ters through. A discussion arose as to what would happen in the event one of the aldermen moved away or diel, thus causing the council, in Is present shape, to be without quorum. A spe, cial election was suggested and others thought the council had right to ap- point a member. The matter was left unfinished after lot of contention pro and con.
 Alderman Mckay stated that three lights had been placel on the streets since the last meeting. Complaint was made about the light on the corner Of 21 stslreet and he special committee W, s ordered to investigate the matter.
 The committee composed of Aid r. men Mckay and Shea, who had been empowered to have the tax roll correct. ed and the City Ordinances compiled, revised and annotated, reported that they thought it useless to make any ex- penditure for fixing the tax roll and that they had made arrangements with A. R, o'Brien to compile the ordi- nances.
 Kettles & Ford presented petition asking that they be allowed $500 on ac- count of the work they are doing at the public school building. The allowance, upon motion of Alderman Mclean, was made.
 Chief of Police Sundeen reported that he did not know what dogs be, longed inside the city. He said chat he could not tell where the boundary liue adopted by the city began or ended, and asked whether 1t was the Reid survey or the one made by Diers which the

URROOFIRG THE SALESLADIES

It's too bad, but 1t looks as if "The Battle of the Pompadours" at Pitts burg, in which the employing shop keepers were routed horse, foot and dragons, is about to turn out b-rren victory for ". ottie, the Poor Saleslady" ard all her high-lurreted sisters.
 When the superintendent of the gov ernmeut printing office abolished mir TOTS in the building because the female emp'oyes spent too much time posing before them strengthening stray locks, skirts hang better, and shap- ing down curving hips, there was 8 loud outcry but DO strike, Committees visited the "horrld man" and tried to get him to resciud his order When he refused, the gir's bowed to the inevit- able. Work was light, wages were high, situations much sought after
 But the conditions in Pitlsburg were more favorable to womankind. When
The daily Alaskan., 1907-11-19

the order went forth that abolished pompadours and sent rats scurrylng to the waste baskets, the girls organized. The order affected only one department store at first, but the girls in the others were mobilized. All departmental PIttsburg was aaame. The managers parleyed for time and then gave in ig. uOmiuiously, And how the pOmps- dours are so high that 1t takes two girls to make one; the original wearer to begin, and one of the cash girls to stand on the counter and complete the job,
 But-what avails all this hirsute s-orn of the defeated if fashion has to step in and spoil it? AknockOu blow has just been given the pompadour in Paris and the coifeur artists there are counting ten" iu glad voices,
 The decree has come that there shall be distinctive styles of dressing the trssses in consonance with various ages. All heads cannot blossom Iuto "pomps" as once they d'd. There are to be modes for the maids and the matrOns; for the misses of sixteen and their grandmothers. For "buds" and girls in the early twenties, the Recamier style of loose ringlets confined with Greek Gllet has Leen ordained. Miss Ethel Roosevelt has already adopted 1t, and so the fashion IS bound to be fad in this country.
 Now, as all shoppirls are in "the early twenties," the pOmpadour will melt like ice cream in August or elecN tion odds before RooadVelt speAKs
 The shops will look strange but more attractive without these Eifrel Towers of hair. But everything has to be paid for, one way or another, and while the Shopgirls will rejoice in the new style which proclalms their youth they will have to seek new place for the omnipresent lead pencil. It used to loom out of the tangled mass of hair like a twelve-Iuch gun in the forward tur ct of mau-oi war, but now some less conspicuous and less handy location will have to be discovered,
 Praise be, though, the new styles will restore us dear old ladies again. There have been none for some years

The Democrats who were in the con veption as delegates at Juneau served we'll the purpose for which they were sent. Their walk out, likely planned weeks ago, gave "Dick" Ryan and his buccaueer cohorts the chance to swing the convention so that Nome could rule its proceedings.
