[ TOWNS TO BE. FURNISHED POWER R.
Transmission Line Already Erected To Connect Fort
 Payne And Valley Head

FORT PAYNE. Ala, Nov. S.-GSpe- cial l)-Work was begun this week on the new dam at DeSoto Falls on Little river for the Fort Payne Light to rush the completion of this dam before the rainy season sets in so that workmen may take advantage of low water. This dam Is located about 10 miles northeast of Fort Payne at the famous DeSoto falls, named for the famous explorer who is said to have camped in the caverns on the bluffs of the gorge just below the falls.
 When completed the Fort Payne Light and Power company will be generating electricity from three dis tinct yower units, steam, waterpow- CT and crude oil. The new power plant will take care of all of the power needs during the period of high water which extends over eight or nine months of the year and during low water either of the other two units located in Fort Payne may be brought into use, thus securing a constant source of power al all times.
 ConstruS ton Is Unique.
 The principle involved in the con struction of the dam is a departure rom the usual method as the falls will be used fer portion of the dam itself By placing a nine-foot dam just in the rear of the falls and drawing the water through an i'm nense pipe to the power house be- low the falls the company will secure the benefit of a dam 109 feet high and generate more than 1,50O horse power
 Since the Fort Payne Light and Power company began operating here less than three years ago there have been rapid strides in the activities of the comapny, which is owned and operated by A. A. Miller, formerly Of Chattanooga. Mir Miller began his operations in Port Payne by taking over the municipallY owned electric plant and installing theisecond steam unit Within less than year he added a complete crude oil DeiSel driven generating unit, which has furnished the main source of power since that time, the two steam units being held in reserve. The plat furnishes Valley Head and Mentone, Il and Is miles north of Fort Payne. with electricity and also operates the pumps of the Fort Payne Water company and the machinery of the Fort Payne Ice com pay, both of which are under the control of MT. Miller.
