RIVERS TO RUN
FRENCH PLANTS
Plans Made for Developing
100000 Horsepower
Yearly by 1884
RAILWAYS TO
GET MORE POWER

PARIs-Plans in course Of prep
aration by the French government
contemplate the development OF a
yearly average Of 100000 horse
power by 1884 through the utiiiza-
ton Of the rivers of the country for
the manufacture of electricity.
The creation of energy for the
electrifcation Of the railways and
the big industries Of France has re-
ceived tremendous impetus since
the armistice. Reports just COM
pleted show that within the last
three years 45O.OOO.OOO francs have
been invested in 40 power plants
throughout France by French in
vestors.
The recent visit Of President
Mlerand to the valley of the Rhone
revived interest in the famous
Rhone waterpower project. plans for
which have been completed and now
are before the Senate for ratification.
The Chamber Of Deputies approved
the idea in October 1919.
The Rhone project. as il is known
in Europe. is one Of the most COM
prehensive waterpower developments
ever conceived and involves the ex-
penditure Of 5000, 1000. 900 francs.
No fewer than twenty lesser pro-
jects have been launched in France.
but the Rhone is further advanced
than the others.
1t has been estimated that the
Rhone scheme, together with the
other big projects, would effect an
annual saving of 100000 tons of
coal, thus diverting this to other
purposes and materially reducing
| the importation OF coal by France.
The Rhone plan would make nav
igable between 400 and 500 hlo-
meters Of that river. would reclaim
650.00O acres Of ground now useless
and would probably place at the
door Of Paris electricity at a price
within the reach Of every one.
The government plans to make
the Rhone as we'll as all the other
projects creation OF the people

been placed outside the side entrance
Of the house to keep cool, was missing.

himself to the ice cream. Two grand
sons of Mrs. Berry followed the sled
tracks, which finally led them to Wins
low, where one boy was overtaken
with one quart of che much desired
dessert. He told Mr. Berry that the
other boy who was with him had
gone up over Sand hill with the other
quart. Young Berry took the boys
name and he will probably be looked
after by the proper authorities this
