Whitfield spends Day in Jackson


President II. L. Whitfield, of the
/. /. and c., of Columbus, was in the
city yesterday looking after the inter-
ests of his big school for girls, and
states that the prospect for full at
tendance next session was never bet
ter. In fact, he declares that he has
to turn down good many applicants
from some of the counties which have
beyond their pro rata number, while
in other counties the applicants are
fewer in number than the county is
entitled to. The object is to have
the girls who attend this big State
college distributed around over the
State, the number to which each
county is entitled being based on
white population or number of edu-
cable children.
President Whitfield goes from here
to Neshoba county, where he will de-
liver several addresses in the cause
of longer school terms, better school
houses, etc.-The Jackson Clarion

Electric Power from Siletz.

w. w. Vaughn, president of the
Vaughn Construction Company of
Detroit, Michigan, is in Lincoln
county investigating the feasibility
of constructing and maintaining an
electric light and power plant at
the Agency.
Mr.. Vaughn was at Siletz Satur-
day looking over the possibility of
power and is greatly impressed
with the outlook. His idea is to
either dig a canal at the Agency
and change the course of the river
from the big seven-mile bend in
the river through the canal, which
would be about a half mile long,
causing a hundred or more feet fall
to the water, or to dam the river
and install power stations. The
power would then be transmitted
to Toledo and Newport for electrical
lighting and power purposes.
Mr.. Vaughn was in Toledo Fri
day, Sunday and Monday forenoon
and has since been at Newport
learning the sense of the people in
regard to the amount of power that
would be used. If business enough
to justify the outlay is assured there
is no doubt but that Mr.. Waugh n
will come here to do business.
The gentleman realizes the coun-
try is new and that the demand for
power is limited, yet he sees a great
future for this part of the state and
his company wants to get in on the
ground floor.
Mr.. Vaughn-is also figuring on
waterworks, ice plant, wooden pipe
factory and other enterprises if his
company decides to come here.
Mr.. Vaughn has personal reasons
why he wants to come to Lincoln
county. He says he is looking for
a good climate to live in. He is
getting tired of the extreme hot and
cold weather of Michigan and is
highly pleased with the mild clim-
ate here.
1t is up to our citizens to give
this company all the inducements
and encouragement possible to per-
suade them to locate here.
