WATER POWER RESOURCES
Great Amount undeveloped In Appal-
achian Region.

Washington, May 2.-The greatest
development of water power that has
ever taken place in the United States
has been accomplished the last few
years in rivers which drain the south
ern Appalachian mountains, according
to an official report on the water re-
sources of this region. 1t is estimated
that there is at least 2,S00,000 indie
ated horse power developed by the
streams which have their head waters
on this watershed and more than half
of this indicated power is available
for economic development.
Only a small part of this has been
made use of but the portion that has
been utilized has been one OF the most
important factors in the recent indus
trial development of the south. One
great difficulty encountered by the US
ers of water power is the fact that it
cannot be depended upon the year
round but must be supplemented each
summer by costly fuel power because
of low water. The low water periods
are growing longer This is because
the forests at the head waters of the
streams are being cut off, 1t is claimed
with the result that the melting win
ter SHOWS and the spring rains pour
off the denuded and hardened land in
devastating. floods.
u indiscriminate cutting of the for
ests on the crests of the water shed
can be stopped the development of
power. according to experts, may be
increased from three to thirty times
the 100000 horse power at present
available
Even with 100000 horse power,
the annual return at $50 per horse
power per year would amount to VS.
100000 equal to gross income OF 3
per cent, on a capital of about $4,000
600.

DROP ONE LlcENsEE
Burlington License Commissioners
Thus Reach Adjustment.

Burlington, April 30.-The Burling-
ton license commissioners have
crawled out of hole by dropping the
name of L. F. Brownell from the list
of appointees. The commissioners,
through misinterpretation of the law
granted 20 licenses this year, while
the city was entitled to 19 only.
The mistake was due to the fact
that the revised statutes omitted the
provision in the original statute that
the licenses were to be granted &C.
cording to the last national census,
by which Burlington is given popu.
lation OF 10000. Mr.. Brownell had
been granted a license of the second
class. He has had some trouble re-
garding the location, and has been
unable to secure a new place, these
facts being taken into consideration
in the decision to drop him from the
list. Most of the licensees have their
places in readiness to open for busi-
ness at s o'clock tomorrow morning.
Some of the proprietors will not do
so, however, and q few places will not
be in readiness for week.
