Public Misled as
to Muscle Shoals,
Says Power Expert
CBy Associated Press)

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE public
has been misled on the Muscle Shoals
development, c. C. Adsit, director
and executive engineer of the Geor-
gia Railway and Power company,
told the American Society of Mechan-
ical Engineers in its spring meeting
here today. The southeast, Mr.. Ad-
sit said, has many undeveloped wa
terpower sites which can be deevlop-
ed on commercial basis to a much
better advantage than the deveiop-
ment at Muscle Shoals.
I'll is distinctly run-of-river
proposition, as no storage is Great

ming development at Muscle Shoals,
recognized this fact and contemplate
ed an installation Of 100000 kilo-
watts, only portion of which can
be depended upon for continuous
power. According to photographs of
the river at this point, the amount
of strictly primary power at Mus
Gle Shoals averages about 100000
horsepower, and even this figure is
based on the assistance of some
steam capacity which must be main
tanned.
ut is a source of considerable re-
greet to engineers who are familiar
wit hthe Tennessee river to read in
the press of the enormous amount of
power allotted to Muscle Shoals de-
velopment, usually stated as 1,00O,-
0O0-horsepower, and the consequent
misleading of the general public on
this much discussed project.
"The development has distinctly a
stream-flow characteristic, the dis
charge of the river varying widely
from month to month, and more
markedly from year to year. The
contemplated capacity of 100000 kilo-
watts at Muscle Shoals could be OPP
Grated under full load only at widely
separated intervals, since the river
flow does not equal this amount Of
power except on an average of less

Engineers have studied he prob
lem and they find it comparatively
simple. It is a big job, but there is
nothing to be done that has not
been done successfully somewhere
else. 1t will cost a great sum of
money, but much less than was spent
at Panama, much less than the
country is spending this year on it's
highways, much less than needs to
be spent to improve New York har-
Dor. only small fraction of what
the railroads must spend every year
just to keep themselves going.
The estimate is $25O,oO0,OOO, and
that includes, as an incident, the de-
velopment Of enough horse power
in the river to, pay for the cost of
the whole job.
The country has spent about $780,
100000 in the locks at the 500, and
the canals in the upper lakes. Those
improvements pay for themselves
over and over. The saving in freight
on the traffic that passes the 500
pays for all the improvements that
have been made in the upper lake
channels five or six times over every
season. The improvement of the St.

Below Lake Ontario the st. Law

that the biggest ocean vessels have

Montreal is the second port on the

Between Montreal and Lake On

has, again, built canals past the

but not the big ships like those on

Less than 40 miles Of canal (33, to
be exact) will make an unbroken

That is what is to be done: finish

now doing, and rebuild the dams

What does a man want for
his work? His wages, or what
his wages would bring him, and
opportunity.
If the average man today lives
better than his grandfather, if he
lives much better than the men who
were in this world 500 years ago, if
his living is incomparably richer than
that of the poor devil who scratched
the ground with a wooden pillow and
wore skins, it is because of the march
Of Improvement through all these
years. His wages may be much less
than he would like, much less, per-
haps, than they should be in an ideal
world, but even so. he would not
change places with the poor devil
a thousand years ago, who scratched
the earth with a wooden pillow and
was clad in skins. He wouldn't
change places with his own grand

we talk about an Improvement that
will increase the wealth of the world,
we are all interested.
But the bigger thing Is opportu-
nifty. A man wants his wages first,
and what they will bring, but he
wants opportunity most, and what it
promises.
For the last hundred years the
West has been the land of oppor-
tunity, the land where a man can
build himself d farm, the land where
a man without capital can set him
self up in business, the land where
a man without means can strike out
for himself-the Middle West the
Far West, and the Northwest, have
been for three genera lions the land
of opportunity. ~
Opportunity in this great land
has not gone, but it has been raked
thin.
The Improvement that will open.
a new field of opportunity appeals
more to the average man than any
thing else in the world.
Region of Opportunity.
West of Duluth, for nearly 1000
miles, is a country that is little de-
veloped. Beyond us in the Dakotas
and Montana is country whose re-
sources have scarcely been touched.
1t IS a region of opportunity in the
!. raw-lands waiting to be cultivated,
towns waiting to be built. resources
Of field and forest waiting to be
tapped, but it is too far away, toe
far from market.
Opportunity requires, besides the
energy Of the man himself, two
things. natural resources and the
means Of transportation. The re-
sources are there in this country
west Of us. The energy is present
in the men around us, the means
of communication ar, wanting. The
railroads have done their best. They
have pushed into the wilderness
hundreds of miles. But one thing
they can't do. They can't haul the
bulk products of the continent across

all it did. That alone interests every
one Of us. When the farmer in Iowa
and Nebraska and Da:: :ota rets a bet

trade for the cities. more business

be put up, in Duluth and st. Paul
and Chicago and Fargo and Omaha,

the breadth of the continent. It isn't
done. 1t isn't done anywhere in ths
world. Nowhere do you find extern
sive production carried on more than
1000 miles from deep water. 1t
costs too much to get the goods to
market. The resources are there, the
man can produce the fruits of the
earth, but opportunity wants some
thing more than that. 1t wants the
means of transportation, cheap
transportation, and cheap transport
tation is by water.
That is what the lakes-to- ocean
project means to the average man.
1t will turn opportunity into reality,
it will open a new West. Bringing
the ocean to, the heart Of the CONT
nent will make this country west of
us once more the AAnd of opportun-
ity, of rich opportunity, Of abundant
opportunity. When that is done every
man of us will have a better chance
to do what he wants and get what
he wants. That is what the lakes

average man.
Project Most Simple.
The project in itself is simple
enough. We have the Great Lakes
from Duluth to Buffalo-Lake Supe-
rior and Michigan, Lake Huron and
Lake Erie, the greatest system of in
land waterways in the world, bear
ing the greatest land-locked COM
merce in the world.
But it Is land-locked. At Buffalo,
between Lake Erie and Lake On

boat can pass. That difficulty is
soon to be remedied. The way is
open now for small boats and it Is
used by small boats, in the Welland
