In addition, on this power is oper-
ated an ice plant, creamery, machine
shops, brick yard flour mill, two
corn-meal mills, plancr, printing

Naturally this demand for cheap
power has exhausted all that is gem
Grated. When the waiting list of
power demands began TO increase
Mr.. Nixon urged new installation in
the power house and another cleo
trical pump at the spring. The city
commission bought modern water
wheel to take the place of one of the
Older and less efficient ones, and as
soon as this is installed the increase
Of current will be $50 horsepower.
The old equipment gave 90 per cent
efficiency The one new unit will
give 81 per cent efficiency. Later the
remaining old turbine will also be re-
placed by more modern one Mr.

Mr.. Nixon expects to make Law

an example TO the entire South of
what can be done with municipality
owned and capably managed hydro
power.
A better road will be graded from
town to the dam and powerhouse.
Signs will be put up inviting visitors
to see Lawrenceburg's unique ex-

creeks flow into Shoal Creek. This
dam today would cost more than
twice and perhaps close to three
Itinss tie original expenditure.
The dam was built eighteen feet
high Ihcu from il tunnel ten feet
square was cut through solid lime
stone out into the creek lower down.
The l9-foot dam, 204 feet long and
the iS-foot drop of the tunnel gave a
head OF 50 feet, and two turbines
generated 1yS horsepower of energy.
About a mile from town was a truly
magnificent spring whose flow had
been steady through the seasons an-
through the years. Over this was
built a concrete building and in it was
installed an electrical pump to take
care OF 500 gallons a minute. A hum
dred thousand gallon storage tank
was erected i'll town, giving pres
sure Of little more than 62 pounds
to the square inch at the fire-pugs.
Finishing this job, Mr.. Nixon left
and went about his electrical engi-
neering work in other sections. The
whole proposition was a strange
thing to number OF the people and
some of them concluded that they
had white elephant" in this white
power. Current was being generated
but most OF it was going to waste.
However some of those responsible
for the installation were more op-
timistic and their efforts prevailed.
They persuaded Mr. Nixon to return
for permanent residence and, for
heavens sake, see what he could do
with the wasted current Mr.. Nixon
came and accepted the whole propo-
sition. He knew what could be done
with the current but persuading a
number of residents to try it was an
other matter. But with the ell
couragment of some of the leaders,
he went ahead and quite few houses
were wired and one or two small in
dustries not only put in illumination
but took the power for wheel and
shaft operation.
Since then growth has been steady
until today the 1913 horsepower de-
velopcd by the original installation is
by no means sufficient to supply the
demand. Meanwhile the plant has
paid off the old floating debt taking
care of the street paving bond issue
both as to interest and principal; is
paying all its own expenses; and pill
ing up profit OF $4,000 year,
while no charge is made for street
lighting or water for fire protection.

WONDERFUN FEAT IN
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
BY Littell Meeting in The Florence
(Ala) Times

Pressed for more cheap power for
its industries and additional cheap
current for home uses. Lawrence
burg is making additional installation
in its municipality owned hydro cleo
trio plant There is being installed
new and highly modern turbine
that will give an increase OF $50
horsepower of energy.
At the same time new electrical
pump is being put in as a second unit
in the pumping station. This new
unit will increase the towns water
supply l00 per cent. The present
pump, operated by the hydro-power
plant, gives 500 gallons per minute,
while the new service will be 1,000
gallons a minute.
Several more small factories will
come into the town when the additi-
onal power is available and number
Ci home owners will at once install
more electrical equipment in their
houses to use the astonishingly cheap
current.
In respect to the economical de-
velopment and use of hydro electric
current Lawrenceburg is unique and
remarkable among all the commun;-
ties Of the Central South The NUM-
cipality of Lawrenceburg secures its
street lighting, its fire protection ana
its street and sidewalk paving with
out single cents cost to the city !
Not penny do the people pay di-
rectly for any of these. 1t is doubt
full ie there is another town in the en-
tire South that can match this, yet
there are dozens of Southern towns
and cities that could accomplish it
on the Lawrcnccburg plan.
Lawrenceburg is one place that has
declared its independence of coal l.
not a pound of coal were ever brought,
into town, the wheels of its indus
tries could still turn; its streets would
continue to be illuminated; it would
have the same water pressure and
fire protection; and number of its
homes would still be lighted and even
heated; and the folks in them would
still cook their meals, wash and iron
the linen; sweep the floors and 81,
under fans.
While Lawrenceburg is securing its
street paving, its street illumination
and its fire protection without pen
ny's tax Of any sort, its home-own-
ers and industries arc paying only
four cents a kifowatt-hour and down
for their electric current. This is

Gold creek which cmpties into Quartz
creekq from the north. The Gold
creek gulch holds some Of the greatest
gold and silver producing mines in
the county. The Carter Tunnel, Ray
moEd, Gold Links and Sandy Hook
are all located along this creek with
in five or six miles Of Ohio City. The
fishing is excellent in Gold creek, and
picnic spots without number abound
all along the stream. The little lake
formed by the settling dam at the
Raymond mine is a beauty spot worth
the tr1p.
Continuing along the Rainbow
Route east from Parlin. one may take
either the Monarch or Cochetopa pass
roads. The Monarch pass route leads
thru Doyleyille and Sargents and then
over the Divide to Salida. At Doyle
vile the side road to Waunita Hot Ra-
dunn Springs diverges. Waunita is
becoming more and more favorably
known thruOut the East with each
passing year, not only for the great
curative quality Of the waters of its
hot mineral springs, but for the
mountain beauty which encloses the
picturesque little hamlet A beauti-
full hotel and club, together with many
plcaant little cabins, surround the hot
springs. A large bath house built
around big swimming pool attracts
many people from the surrounding
towns for a swim on each vacation
day.
A good fifty-mile outing, sixteen of
it over the federal road-a marvellous
piece of highway engineering-invit
one to take the trip to the summit of
Monarch pass. The government en-
gineer in charge of this piece of road
construction, stated at its compile
ton that the road equalled any Of the
famous mountain roads thru the
Swiss Alps, he having made study
of these roads. While taking this ex-
cursion you are touring at the stop
OF the world" and from the summit
of the pass, II 900 feet, one may gaze
nj the snowy ranges of all of Western
Colorado and into Utah. Just east of
the summit is Monarch Park, beau
tiful site for a weeks camp or an
afternoons picnic. Twenty-three
miles farther is Salida, which would
make just a nice days trip from Gun
nison and return.
The road to Coehetopa branches
off at Parlin, following Cochetopa
creek, on over the divide to Saguache
and thence to Salida- Cochetopa
creek offers some good fishing and
excellent picnic spots. The road to

For Il glimpse Of some of the fine
cattle and hay ranches that have made
the county famous, take a trip down
the Guuuison valley to lola. then
over the Nine Mile hill to the Pow
derhorn and Cebolla. Fishing in the
Cebolla and plunge in the pool at
Cebolla Hot Springs are added in
ducemeuts for this trip. Topping the
rise from lola, one may look back and
see the finest mountain panorama in
the world, showing the great snow
shrouded ranges rising to the north
OF the Gunnison river valley.
From the Cebola valley the motor
ist may cross over into the valley of
the Lake Fork, and up this stream to
Lake City, the county seat of Hins-
dale county, and one of the prettiest
mountain towns in the state. Four
miles above Lake City is Lake San
Cristobal, renowned for ats fishing
and the central point for number Of
minor excursions. Some of the most
famous mines in the state may be
visited in the vicinity of Lake City,
and this little journey is incompatible
for Saturday and Sunday trip.
At the Ten-Mile bridge west of
town on the Gunnison, one may take
the delightful trip up Steuben creek,
or cross the river and take the road
south up Willow creek to Vulcan, an
other picturesque old mining camp.
Steuben Creek offers excellent fish
ing and the camping spots are in
Vulnerable. This is one of the most
enjoyable of short trips, taking only
about an hour from Gunnison.
Continuing west over the Rainbow
Route, the traveller takes either the
Blue mesa or Black mesa road from
Sapinero. An excellent days motor
and picnic trip is to the Halfway
House on Blue Mesa. The road skirts
the rim of the Black Canon of the Gun
nison for number of miles, and one
may look almost straight down for
hundreds of feet to the bottom of the
gorge, where may be discovered the
twin silver threads of the railroad in
its winding course along the Gunni-
son. The Halfway House, on top of
the mesa, is a pretty rustic cottage,
built by county road officials in the
midst of the cool forest, spot that
affords rest and inspiration to every
passerby.
On every side and in every direction
the cool mountains of this little en-
pire unfold their never-ending chain
of the priceless jewels of nature, and
