A CORRECTION

The Times was in error in an article
recently published in which we stated
that John w. Nourse succeeded j. n.
Colnatzer, as general passenger agent
Mr.. Nourse became general passenger
agent of the Frisco, as stated in the
story, but Mr.. Cornatzer is now and
has been for several years passenger
traffic manager and no change is
made in his titles or duties. He is at
the head of the passenger traffic de-
partment under the general direction
of Alexander Hilton, vice president in
charge of the Frisco lines.

DAM AT TABLE ROCK
From the Springfield I,eade,


Blue print maps showing the loca-
ton of the proposed Taney county
dam and the approximate overflow
OF streams above have been secured
from the Federal Power Commission
and are the object of much interest.
There has been much speculation for

| ton of this new dam. The blue print

Branson dam" marked at the bend
OF the river near Table Rock, about
: half way between Fall creek and
Long creek and approximately six
miles by section lines southwest of
Branson. The flood stage is shown
to reach within about six miles of
Galena on the James river, well across
Barry county on the White river, and
south into Arkansas on Long creek
With this and the flooding Of Indian
creek, Kings river and other tribu-
taries, lake of great size will be
created by the 175 foot dam.
fl, r. Farrar of Camp White Oak
wrote the power commission for in
formation as to the location of the
dam and received the following reply:
Replying to the inquiry contain
ed in your letter of August 21, the
Empire District Electric Company
proposes to build dam It's feet high
in the White River at point known
locally as Table Rock, or approx
mately seven miles southwest of
Branson, Mo.
eff you desire a map showing the
area flooded, please inclose check
written in favor of Abel G. Co., for
rs cents to cover cost of making blue
print Mail the check to me and upon
receipt of same the map will be for
warded to you.--Willian V. King,
