THE WEATHER
DAM PROJECT IS REAL
 ENGINEERING PROBLEM

Little Rock, Nov. 17.-Col. Allen of Chicago, one of the foremost engin- eers of the United States, is now in Arkansas with Walker V. Powell, president of the Dixie Power Com pany, to pass upon the feasibility of transmitting the power developed at the dam to be erected by the com pany across White river, near Cotter, to the rice fields about Lonoke, Stutt- gart and Dewitt. Col. Allen will probably spend several days with the engineering corps on White river be- fore he returns to Chicago.
 Col. Allen was one of the seven en- gineers sent by President Roosevelt to Panama to pass upon the route for the canal. Since the completion of this engineering marvel, Col. Allen has returned to the states and devoted his time to consulting engineering. His connection with the Dixie Power Company project stamps it as real engineering problem, and one so big that big engineer had to be secured to handle it. Col. Allen is said to be enthusiastic over the proposition, and also declares that the power can be transmitted to the rice fields at a very low cost to the consumers. Col. Allen is now at Stuttgart, or in that vicinity.
