HIGH PRICES ASKED
 . FOR LANDS RETARDS
Government Willing to De- velop Muscle Shoals, But
 Will Not Pay Big Prices

Sheffield, January 22.--(Special.) Col. J. w. Worthington of this city. who has been in Washington for some time in the interest of the development of Muscle Shoals, was here the past week, and in a discussion of the sub ject at Florence, stated that the gov ernment engineers favored the develop ment of Muscle Shoals and were broad in their views, having already recom- mended the development, but beyond all doubt they would not recommend the purchase of lands at the high prices some would ask. Back water will cover 25.00O acres of lands, which would re- quire a big sum of money to pay for 1t at high prices The question of this great development, he said, rests with the land owners. There are some 473 land owners along the Tennessee river between this city and Decatur, and it is not believed that they will want to interfere with the gigantic, wealth producing and all important develop ment, which means so much to this section. Those who are fully acquainted with the question have already freely expressed themselves as being more than willing to sell their lands ct a low price Colonel Worthipgton de- clared that no people under the sun would be more wonderfully blessed than those of this section if concessions in the price of lands are made, 70 thai the great development of Muscle Shoals will be made. The various land owners are being sought and urged to co-oper- ate in bringing about this all-impor- tant development and put no stumbling block in it's way.

FOR COOSA-ALABAMA

Washington, January 22.-(Special) ) Capt. W. P. Lay of Gadsden, interested in the passage of the general dam act, already favorably reported, is making plain to Congress the details of the Coosa-Alabama river project. His data contain this concrete information;
 'The latest plan for the improvement of this river is known as the Ferguson plan, and it is under this plan that we are now trying to bring about it's devel- opment This cannot be done without the passage by Congress of @ special act or a general dam act The Ferguson plan contemplates as part of the inn provement the building of power dams by private capital. This method of improve ment would make splendid navigation over 73 miles of the worst part of the rapids, relieve the federal government of the necessity of building P low lift dams, and save the government the expenditure of more than 5000, 000. a
 NO appropriation of any kind is being sought of the federal government by this association, or by any water power com pany. But, on the contrary we urge Congress to. pass a general dam law by which the rights of the state and it's citizens will be forever respected and safeguarded. If this is done private capi- tai, it is probable, can be induced to de- Velop the necessary power, and thus do- nate, to all practical purposes, to the government. s5,00O,0
 The chief purpose for which the power to be developed will be adopted will be the fiXation of atmospheric nitrogen for the manufacture of gunpowder in the event of war, and fertilizers for the farmers in the event of continued peace ?
 The development would make the Coosa-Ala bama navigable from it's mouth to distance of more than 75O miles,

FIRE VISITS L|NEV|LLE Suspected to Have Been of Incendiary Origin-Loss
 Is S75,0O0

Lineville, January 22.-(SpeclaD Lineville was visited by a destructive fire this morning at o'clock in which the entire business section of the town was at one time threatened, but thanks to an explosion of dynamite in the building of Barfield Greene Mercantile company, where the fire originated, and the heroic bucket brigade, aided by a merciful rain when the fire was at it's highest, the flames were con- fined for the most part to the build inC of Barfield Greene Mercantile com pany. However, great damage was done to the stock of goods and store house of w. B. Smith & Sons. About 20 firms suffered by a result of broken plate glass and damages from moving stocks of goods and libraries into the streets. The loss will probably reach from $60,000 to $75.000, which is par tially covered by insurance. Shortly after the fire was discovered and after the arrival of several people 800 pounds of dynamite exploded in the burning building, which hurled people to the ground and sent a shower of firebrands a distance of mile. Many residences were damaged as a result of this ter rifle explosion, The fire was undoubt- edly of incendiary origin.

TERRIFIC RAIN IS
 CAUSE OF BREAK ] IN EDGE WOOD DAM
Damage Will Be Quickly Re paired and All Debris Cleaned Out of
 the Lake

Part of the dam of the Birmingham Motor and Country club was swept away yesterday morning at 6 o'clock caused by an unprecedented rainfall. The break oe- cured on the north end of the dam adjoining the spillway, and for several hours a flood of water from the lake into the creek overfowed the OXmoor road where traffic was held up in the vicinity of the Shades creek bridge.
 The rainfall guage at the Birmingham Waterworl1s across the mountain, showed a precipitation of ACT inches between the hours of 4:So and 63O yesterday morning. The guage at the Birmingham Motor and Country club showed precipitation of 5:25 inches of rainfall between the hours of and o'clock.
 Secretary Wright called Charles Rice, president of the club, at o'clock yester- day morning and informed him that water was overfowing the dam and that the rain was coming down in greater force each minute MT. Rice dressed and went to the lake to aid in lifting the gates so as to relieve the pressure on the dam. It was found that numerous logs which were in the lake at the time it was filled had washed against the f1oodgates and it was impossible to open them, President Rice, Secretary Wright, G. T. Brazelton. R. E.. Totten and other citizens did all in their power to lift the gates but their ef forts were of no avail A wall of logs clogged the gates and held them fast.
 The spillway was not harmed and stood the strain All of those who went to the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-23

lake to help in releasing the gates ex- perienced difficulty in getting to the club grounds. All had to wade through tor rents of water up to their knees and then worked for hours dripping wet. In speak ing of the break in the dam, Mir. Rice said:
 There seems to be some good in every thing that is bad. We had contemplated draining the lake sometime in the next few days and removing the logs and debris. The estimated cost of doing this was in the neighborhood of $500. AS it is. we will not be forced to do this, as the logs can be washed out through the break in the dam.
 'The break is about 8 feet across the top of the dam and was caused through no fault in the construction. The dam was built according to plans and speciti- cations and it was figured that it could withstand pressure of 2.50 inches of rain fall per A hours As a matter of fact, the dam withstood a pressure more than twice this amount and it was all brought about within a few hours. The fact that the rainfall at the lake was 5.25 inches in two hours will give some idea of the ter rife amount of pressure that the dam was called upon to bear.
 Even after the lake had filled to the top of the dam and commenced to over flow the earth bank it gave away grad ually instead of breaking at once. This demonstrates the fact that the dam was of good construction and could not have been damaged had it not been for the unprecedented rainfall in a very short while. The damage will be repaired at once and the work of cleaning out the lake had already been provided for. Wher the dam is rebuilt it will be still better and stronger and no logs or other debris will be found in the lake. Let every one keep boosting for the club and they will find that it will not be in vain.
 President Charles F. Rice of the club gave the following statement to The Age Herald last night:
 'The Birmingham Motor and Country club wishes to announce to it's members that the cloudburst early Saturday mcHn- ing, which washed away part of the daln also damaged the roadway leading up to the club house to such an extent that it is believed best to postpone the Sun day afternoon concert.
 The clubs engineer is already on the job ready to begin the repairs on the dam just as quick as the water subsidies enough for him to do so, and the damage which is estimated not to exceed $500, will be repaired as fast as the work can be done. CHARLES F. RICE,"
