 Work has been started on dam No 2, which will be the largest concrete dam in the world. Over 1,3O0,00O cubic feet of materials will be re- quired. Preliminary estimates place the cost at $16,OOO,OOO. Three or four years will be required for it's con- struCtion. The probable initial in- stallation will provide 16O,00O hydro electric horsepower.
 Plans also have been formulated for the erection of dam No. 8, sixteen miles east of dam No. 2. This dam will be only 48 feet high, but will form lake 70 miles long, the largest in the United States. It will enable the development and utilization of a maximum of 66O,O00 hydro-electric horsepower at the two dams.

FIRST NITRATE PLANT
 WILL OPERATE NEXT JUNE

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 23.-The greatest industrial war drama in the history of the South is being enacted at Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee river, in northwestern Alabama.
 Developments of tremendous impor- tance to the United States in both times of war and peace are being rushed to completion there at a cost of $7O,O0O,OOO
 The government already has we'll under construction two emergency ni- trate plants that will extract nitrogen from the air for use in preparation of ammonium nitrate, so essential to the manufacture of gun cotton, smoke less powder and other high explo- sives used in war, and for the mak- ing of high-grade fertilizer so neces- sary to the restoration of soil fer tility both in war and peace.
 President Wilson also has author ized the construction of power and navigation dam No. 2 of the Ten nessee river at Muscle Shoals, in which the United States army engi- neers have recommended ultimate in- stallation of hydro-electric machinery for generating 4SO,OOO horsepower.
 Nitrate plant No. l, 1t is announced, will be in operation during June. An army of 2,2OO men is employed on the work alone. The plant will man ufacture thirty tons of nitrate per day by the synthetic ammonia proc ess of air-nitrogen fxation. It will also consume one hundred tons of coke per day and from one to two tons of dolomite. The remainder of the raw material will come from the atmosphere.
 The plant will manufacture it's own coke. It will also have its own 5000 horsepower steam plant.
 Seven thousand workmen are en' gagged in the construction of nitrate plant No. 2, and this force will be in- creased, it is expected, to 15,000 be- fore the plant is completed. It will employ permanent force of 5000 men. This plant will probably be turning out nitrates in August,
 Power to drive this $30,000,000 plant will be furnished by 60,OOO horsepower steam plant and by a steam power plant of the Alabama Power Company on the Warrior river. The steam power plants will be used pending the building of big power dam No. 2 on the Tennessee

that Of Red Johnson, but the salts
faction over this was overbalRnced
by the conviction that the girl must

Blake. az his mind cleared, recall
ed that he last saw his wife up near

ried away. directing the others to
continue the search where they were.
Near the overhanging rock he found
the handkerchief and saw signs Of

started down the Barksdale side Of

the sheriff's posse had taken up the
pursuit and a race to the finish was
on.
Breathless and exhausted, the out

A moment later and Blake and
Bessie had scrambled over the edge
OF the trail. Then they rode away.
Black Jack wasa live to the fact
that he must quickly get possession
Of Bessie or leave her to the posse
or the engineers who were fast clos

down the lower trail to where II
began to converge with the upper

to the ground. The horses reared
and bolted with Bessie still in the

into the upper trail and Black Jack
remounted and started after the girl

Black Jacks fresh mount rapidly

his pistol that ended the chase, kill

and continued down the trail.
Bessies struggles added to an un-

Jacks hands busy. and Bessie taking
advantage OF this, seized his pistol

saddle. seized the reins and raced
toward great plateau.
Blake badly stunned was picked
up by some of Morgan's men and
placed on horse. Meantime, Curly
had found Black Jack, who seized

pushed on after the girl determined
from now on to show her no quarter.
