Fort Payne Enjoying Unparalleled Period or Building Acuy This Spring
Waterpoluer Now Considered
 as We'll as Navigation in Building Dams, Says Almon

on the Tennessee and other rivers. only considered the question of im- provements to navigation, but for tunately the development of water power IS now being considered in connection with improvement to nav igatton. This survey will eventually be the means of removing all obstruc~ tions to navigation on this wonderful river and the development of all its horse power.
 Only a few years ago the Colbert canal. below Muscle shoals, and the lock at Rivertou were completed. lt the government had constructed a dam at Riverton instead of the Col bert canal 90.000 horse power would have been developed at $1000.000 less cost than the lateral canal and locks. and at the same time the improve ment would have been as great, if not greater, service to navigation.
 This one case Illustrates the very great importance of developing the water power and improving navlga- ton ht the same time"
 Congressman Almon declared it was generally conceded In Washing ton that the offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals would be accepted by Congress in It's next session. lie blamed republicans leaders who op- posed the offer for failure to permit 1t to come to- Q vote this session. de- claring had the offer been voted on, it was his belief it would have been ap- proved by the House.

 We have secured through the Con- gross $200. 900 with which to com plete the survey of the Tennessee river ana it's trihutaries.@ said Con gressman Almon. "This survey will indicate the number and character of dams necessary to remove all ob- strnetiens to navigation and develop aH water power and aiso the storage dams on the upper Tennessee and it's tributaries. Indications are that thus survey win show that there Is about S,0p0, ,o0A horse power to be developed on the Tennessee. including the pow CT project at Muscle Shoals. 1t win alse show that the storage dams on the upper Tennessee and It's tribu- tarles will double the primary power st all of the dams which are or may be constructed on the river.

FAYETTE. Ala, March 2l. -- The drainage project that has been set in motion for the purpose of draining LuxapaliIa together with the clear ing of the forest by sawnills has made it possible for the development of a vast number of acres of the richest farm lands in this section. Up to a few years ago this was a dismal swamp interspersed with lakes and bayous that added to It's seeming uselessness except for the timber It produced.
 But the day came when 1t became certain that the timber interest would be thing of the past. and these rich lands would be practi- cally useless. Then the drainage project came and the development has begun in earnest. The owners of these lands will for generations be possessors of some of the rich est lands Tn West Alabama. These lands are adapted to the growth of any field crop grown In the south.
