MAY MEAN HOSPITAL HERE.
The Rev. W. L. Brandon Represents Nation Wide Effort of Protestants.

The Rev. W. L. Brandon of the First Nj. E. church is in receipt of a communication from Dr. M. Fl. Evans of Joplin, Mo, relative to the nation wide campaign being launched for the organization of Protestant Mem orial Hospitols and Nurse Training Schools. The campaign has been started to meet the great need for nurses, and on that line Doctor Evans quotes Doctor Mayo as saying there is now a crying need for 100000 nurses.
 These Protestant hospitals are to be located wherever they may be needed, beginning with tubercu- losis hospital in the Ozarks. Rev. Mir. Brandon has consented to serve on the advisory committee. repre- senting this community. It may be that this movement will make the dream of a hospital in Stilwell park come true. At any rate 1t is certain that Rev. Mir. Brandon in his capacity as a member of the advisory commit tee, will never overlook to point the favorable climatic and other condi- tions prevailing in Mena for the lo- cation of a hospital and nurses train- ing school, and in that he will have the support and cooperation of the local medical fraternity.

ID GET CURRENT
 FROM CADDO RIVER
Great Electric Plants to Be in- stalled Near AIkAdeIphia-Arkan- sas Company Will Distribute
 the Power.
From the Arkansas aazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Pine Bluff, Nov. 26.-Electrieity generated by the hydro-electric plants of the Caddo River Power and Irri- eation Company of which H. L. Rem mel of Little Rock is president, will be distributed by the Arkansas Light and Power Company, it was learned here today upon the return of H. c. Couch from Philadelphia. Mir. Couch is president of the Arkansas Light and Power Company and one of the incorporators of Nthe water power company, incorporated at Little Rock Tuesday. Lines of the Arkansas Light and Power Company extend near the site selected for the water power stations, and but little new line will have to be built to connect the en- tire 800 miles of transmission lines now serving 40 communities in Ar kansas, and the hydro-electric plants, with the big steam plant of the Pine Bluff Company, at Pine Bluff and the steam plants of the Arkansas Light and Power Company at Picron and Russellviile where there are exten- sive coal fields.
 Use of the steam plants equipt to utilize coal, oil or gas, will enable better use of water power, it is said, permitting use of the hydro-electric plant when demand is equal to eapac- ity of the station and the steam plants should the load drop below the point where it is not economical to operate big hydro-eleetric station At the same time this interconnection of power stations permits of expan- sion to meet sudden demand fol power in excess of the capacity of the hydro-electric plant. For the most efficient operation of water power station engineers say, there should bt steady load equal to the maximum capacity of the station.
 Engineers are at work on plans foi the four dams across the Ouachitf and Caddo rivers, few miles nortf of Philadelphia, and for the first power station. Initial development will provide 10000 horsepower, witt water power sufficient for quick in stallation of machinery to develop 75,000 electric horsepower.
