SURVEY OF WHITE RIVER.

Batesville, July 12-Great ln terest is manifested here and all along the White River in the sur vey which will be made this sum mer to determine the available water power of the river and it's tributaries The amount of water power at every place where it can be used will be determined. i, It is believed that the survey will show that Arkansas possesses a vast amount Of water power which will be in demand in the near future. The principal use of the power will be to generate e. ectricity.
 The plans for the survey have been approved by the state geo. logical commission. The work will be done fin co-operation with the United States geological survey. The government will probably send man to establish gaug.ng stations sometime during July Plans are being made to start the work at the head waters Of the river east Of Fayetteville and end the work here
 Water power is being used ex- tensiyely on the Pacific coast and it is thought that Arkansas has as good or better opportunities to make use of such natural re- sources.

the first bill but it was beaten.
From that time on Gunnison was
persistent in her fight for that
school. Every representative we

IN each succeeding Legislature

This time they laid down their

to the extent they could in for
