DENOUNCES EXPERIMENT.

SAVANNAH, Nov. 16.-Gov. Nathan L.
Miller, of New York. in an address be-
fore the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
convention to-day again denounced the
proposed St Lawrence ship canal prof.
ect involving an unwarranted ex-
penditure OF 100000. 900 by the United
states, as criminal foolishness" In
wasting millions sadly needed for other
improvements and as an attempt to
realize an Impossible dream"
Following out his speech at Buffalo,
the Governor said the tax burden would
was only an experiment and asserted
that the prime necessity was tc improve
first our own ports and waterways in
stead Of promoting project in a for
eign country. He affirmed that the New
York State barge canal could, if prop
erly utilized. carry all the 100000
tons OF grain which annually would
seek water outlet from the West.
He asserted that no unprejudiced per-
son competent to speak on the subject
believed that ocean-going vessels would
ever navigate such waterway as the
proposed st. Lawrence ship canal

said. He added that the Charleston

hat there was danger to the country on
the promotion of public undertakings on

interests and declared such a method
precluded a fair consideration of any
undertaking on its merits.

Why He STAYED.

Lieutenant Governor Claiming Cox
Of Massachusetts, discussing the high
cost of living in France, said the
other day:
'In Paris, you know, a good pair Of
shoes fetched $50, and a good meal
about as much.
"Well, a young lawyer started on a
brief vacation trip to Paris in June,
and he long overstayed his time. On
his return in late September a friend
who knew he was none too flush, said
to him:
"Why did you remain so long in
Paris, jim?
"My friends kept me there jim
answered.
"Your friends? Why jim. I didn't

SENATOR MITCHELL
SAYS QUAY COUNTY
TO Be LEFT ALONE

Albert. n. NJ, April Ex-senator
T. f. Mitchell, a member of the
state senate from Union county,
has written Secretary of state
Manuel Martinez letter setting
forth his belief that it was not the
intention of the Legislature to take
part of Quay county when forming
the new county of Harding.
The matter arose when it was
discovered that the bill as finally
passed by the legislature contained
conflicting descriptions of the
boundaries of Harding county.
One boundary would have left
Quay undisturbed, but the other
would have taken out Logan and
other precincts
Senator Mitchell has written Mr..
Martinez stating that there was an
agreement in the Legislature that
mo territory was to be taken from
Quay county. He claims that the
discrepancy must have come out OF
the changes as made by parties in
the office of the state engineer.

RIVERS POWER
!. IS FRENCH PLAN
Water Plants Will Be Built
to Generate Electricity to
Run Railroads and Indus
trial Plants.

Paris, April lS.--Plans now in
course of preparation by the
French government contemplate
the development of a yearly aver
age of 100000 horse power by
1894 through the utilization of the
rivers of the country for the man
nfacture of electricity.
The creation of energy for the
identification of the railways and
the big industries of France has
received tremendous impetus since
the armistice. Reports just com
pleted show that within the last
three years 100000. 900 francs have
been invested in forty-nine plants
throughout France by French in
vestors.
Rhone Power Project.
The recent visit of President
Millerand to the valley of the
Rhone revived interest in the IA
nous Rhone water power project,
plans for which have been com
pleted and now are before the sem
ate for ratification. The chamber
of deputies approved the scheme
in October, 1919.
The Rhone project, as it is
known in Europe. is one of the
most comprehensive water power
developments ever conceived and
involves the expenditure of 3,000,-
100000 francs. No fewer than
twenty lesser projects have been
launched in France but the Rhone
is further advanced than the 9TH
ers.
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
navigable between 400 and 500
kilometers of that river, would re-
claim $4,000 acres of ground now
useless, and probably place at the
door of Paris electricity at a price
within the reach of everyone.
"a Creation of the People"
The government plans to make
the Rhone, as well as all the other
projects, creation of the people"
through the issuance of per cent
non-taxable bonds, the proceeds to
be used in construction. The fl
nance committee of the senate now
has the matter before it, but be-
cause of the financial depression
and the already great burdens on
the French treasury, the actual
construction probably will not be-
gin for several years.
The majority of the plans for
hydro electric development con-
Germ the rivers Rhone, Garonne,
Rhine and Loire.
