Mississippi as limited TO industries, already
existing in the market territory. Il is
safe assumption that region with this
great reserve OF hydro-electIic power will
gradually evolve new industries.
1t is understood that the power generated
will be Supplied TO existing central stations
in different towns and cities in the territory
that can be served in much the same man
ner as natural gas is supplied 10 local gas
companies in the gas belts. The power will
be supplied under contract TO the central
stations, and the stations will use 1t instead
of generating current. The present equip
ment of the stations need not be dsmantled
bur may be held i'll readiness for emergen-
cies. The project Involves the building of
a solid concrete dam across the river. a
powerhouse, and a new lock and dry dock
for the accommodation OF river traffic.
The United States government and the
Mississippi River Power Company are
Jointly interested in the enterprise The
government secures free of cost a new lock
and dry dock to replace the present canal
add three locks which Will be submerged by
the new dam-the new lock being much
larger than the old ones. The government
secures also a new permanent navigable
stage Of water for distance of sixty miles
aorth Ct the dam. Only during the high
stages OF the river is it now possible to
navigate the Des Moires rapids, which ex-
