The Gorgas plant is not operated when there is a full head of water at Lock 12. In other words, it is a.a auxiliary plant to the water power plant when the current consumption requires.
 The water power plant at Lock F operated entirely by 14 men fur nishes power for the employment of probably 100000 men in mines and factories in the state.
 It is factor of tremendous value to the state and it's development. In- stead of politically or otherwise, fighting the Alabama Power com pany, every man in this state owes it debt of gratitude and will be deeper in its debt when the new dam 15 miles below Lock 12 is built across the Coosa river, developing another 100000 horse power, using over again the water which has already done it's service at Lock 12.

 At this new dam there will be no tremendous and costly power house. The turbines will be in the masonry of the dam itself, and the dynamos on top of the dam, each with it's sep- arate little shed to protect it from the weather. The cables carrying the generated current will run out side from these dynamos. Thus all expensive construction will be done away with. By this method engi-

1NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE HYDRO ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT ON<TE1E COOSA RIVER

neers say 30 per cent more power can be derived from the head of water at the dam, and millions of dollars perhaps saved in not having to contruct a great powerhouse.
 With this dam and the prospective Muscle Shoals dams. Alabama will develop more Hydro-E Electric power than any state in the union, not ex- cepting New York with It's Niagra Falls.
 Alabama has another advantage over other states, in that it has sew eral auxiliary steam plants to put in operation during dry periods when there is a shortage of water.
 As it is now, the cotton mills of North and South Carolina, operated by Hydro electric current can only operate three days each week. Ill Alabama all mills and mines can op- crate every day at full capacity be- cause of the auxiliary steam plants, each of which is built at the mouth of coal mine.
 With the building of the new dam on the Coosa river and the Muscle Shoals dam, it is only a matter of time when electric power in Alabama will be as cheap as that developed at Niagra Falls, and this state should become the greatest manu- featuring state of the union.

of the stage of water in her power generating streams. This is espe- cially annoying at a period when these mills have orders to keep them going at full capacity.
 In Alabama such is not the case. Not wheel at cotton mill or any other factory has stopped on &C., count of a lack of power. The cot ton mills are on full turn. This is the condition in spite of low water in the Coosa, where the Alabama Power company has it's large hydro electric plant.
 The Alabama Power company is operating the Gadsden reserve steam plant and the steam plant on the Warrior near Birmingham, which use coal as fuel. The one generates 15,000 horsepower and the other 75,000. That is lot of power in an emergency, and serves to save the day in this state.
 This is just another of the re- markable advantages of Alabama due to the richness and variety of her raw material resources. No new development ever really displaces an old and tried servant, but all seem to work in harmony.

N T < Birmingham Place for the State Farm Bureau

ID IRMINGHAM is the proper ID place for the State Farmers Bureau, because it is the largest market and the greatest consumer of state products. It not only con- sumes most of the farm products but is the business center of Ala bama.
 Birmingham has greater importing and exporting facilities than any other city by reason of it's eight trunk lines and it's situation with reference to the Warrior. It's bank ing facilities are the largest.
 The bureau will enjoy a distinct advantage in Birmingham location by being in close touch with the Bir- mingham Traffic Bureau, which has the most comprehensive set of rate files in the southern states and ex- traordinary facilities for taking care of freight rate alignments, applica- tions for rates and redress for over- charges and loss in transit on ship ments.
 The bureau will also have the CO., operation of Birmingham's Chamber of Commerce, with it's 2,500 mem- bers and it's experienced agricultu- ral workers.

 It was evident in the response to the invitations to the affair as well as in the confident and aggres- sive talks made by travelling men, sales managers and heads of con- .cerns, that Birmingham has finally realized her abilit, to become the chief wholesale and jobbing center of the south.
 Seventy-five wholesale and job ping houses were represented bythree hundred and fifty salesmen, the
 
 alert mercuries of trade, who sally forth from Birmingham Monday mornings to sell her products and extend her trade territory. The spirit running through the occasion was that of selling Birmingham as well as one's own goods.
 The 600 to 700 travelling salesmen of Birmingham lt are an invincible army. Now that they have decided to. make of this city trade center. the achievement may be- regarded as assured.
