MUCH WATER, YET
POWER PLANT Is
SLOWED IN WORK
High Tide" Cuts Efficiency of
Wheels; River Is Falling
Today.

Ordinarily, given water as power
producer, it wculd appear that the
more water the more power, but
such is not the case, wherefore F. d.
Shaffer, manager of the Chickasha
Gas and Electric company, is sad
He's sad because for several days,
despite the fact that the sun has
been beating down with uncalledfoI
heat out of a comparatively clear Sky
and with J. Pnv remaining obliging
ly off the job, the Washita river has
been hitting them up on high. It's
been running over the dam at the
companys power house at from three
to four feet.
"There's no way to hold this wa
ter, no way to save 1t, and it make.
me sick to think that 50 much of il
is going to waste when we will need
il so badly before the summer l.
over" said Mr. Shaffer.
ut wouldn't be so bad If we could
pull full load with it, at high-tide,
but we can't When the water get'
up three feet or more over the dam
it cuts down the pulling power of the
water plant materially. When it''
four feet four inches over the dam
we can't pull thing. AT an &Tel
age of three to three and a half fee
over the dam, we can pull $50 K. W
when we should be pulling $50.
THE river is falling this morning
and is only about two and hal
feet over the dam. Things are look
ing brighter"
