DAM Plan Of
HINTON, ". Va.
Great Hydro-El Plant at
Bluestone Junction to Fur
nish Water Power for State
U. S. SANCTION IS SOUGHT
Construction of Project to Be
Started as Soon as Fed
eraI Permission Is Granted

HINTON. w. Va, Feb. To-
Construction of $30,0O0,OOO
hydro-eIectric plant at Bluestone
Junction, five miles above here,
is planned by the Virginia Power
Company. The company has al
ready made formal application to
the Federal Power Commission for
permission to 60 ahead with the
project.
The enornaity of the enterprise
has dazed the people in this section,
for carried out to completion It
I viii put into motion industries
never dreamed of In West Virginia.
It will create power more than
sufficient to turn every factory
wheel in the State.
/ APPROVAL AWAITED.
From present Indications the
company is only awaiting permits
| sion from the Federal Power Com
mission to go ahead with its plans.
The dam is to be 140 feet high,
and 500 feet at the base. When
4 the first dam is built the project
will be but partially completed.
Additional dams and power plants
will be built all along the New
River valley from Hinton to Gauley,
at a total expenditure Of not less
than 500, 00O, 900.
The mountain of concrete at Blue
stone Junction will back the water
to Glen Lynn in Giles county, Va,
on the Norfolk and Western rail-
road, and fornl lake thirty-five
miles In length in the New River
Valley. 1t also viii back water
up the Bluestone river to Spanish
burg, a distance of about twenty
five miles; and up Indian creek to
Greenville, distance of eighteen
miles. It will submerge thousands
of acres of fertile land in the New
river. Bluestone, and Indian Creek
vallys, which lie in Summers, Mer-
Ger, and Monroe counties in West
Virginia, and in Giles county, vir-
ginia. 1t will blot out Old Red
lSulphur Springs, famous in the
days of stage coaches and slaves.
PROSPERITY FOR u. s.
| Although it is not generally
known there is greater fall from
Bluestone junction to Kanawha
Falls--a distance of less than one
hundred miles-than there is from
Kanawha to the Gulf of Mexico.
/ In 1880 the War Department en-
gineers declared the New River TO
be a navigable stream, and con-
sequently, it is now the property
of the Federal Government.
Local representatives in the State
Senate anticipate little difficulty In
passing a State hydro-electric mea-
sure whereby revenue from the
power plant will go to the State
instead of to the Federal Govern
ment. However, it may be ques-
ton to be decided by the courts.
The Federal Water Power Com
mission at Washington has filed
with the mayor of Hinton a notice
that any objections to the Blue-
stone junction project should be
filed with the commission before
April 1, 1923.

In view OF Secretary of Commerce
Hoover's announcement that the
Arizona and Colorado legislatures
are expected soon to join with the
other five Western States affected,
in approving the Colorado River
compact, the Mexican government
will shortly inform the American
State Department that 1t will not
consider their decision binding upon
Mexico's rights in the river.
This was learned yesterday from
unofficial sources close to the
Mexican government. At the Mexi-
can embassy it was said that no
comment on the situation could be
made there at this time. Word is
awaited from Mexico City.
RIVER CROSSES BORDER.
Despite that the Mexican Gov
eminent is not yet recognized by
the United States, and Secretary
Hoover's position that Mexico has
no rights in the matter which the
United States is bound at this time
to respect, the Oregon administers
ton, 1t is understood, will stand
upon it's 1913 treaty rights and sub
sequent conventions acknowledging
such rights.
After it crosses the border near
Yuma, Ariz., the Colorado river
runs through Mexico between the
States of Sonora and Lower Cali
fornia for $50 miles and empties
into the Gulf of California. 1t irri-
gates agricultural and ranch lands
in the two Mexican States.
1t is Secretary Hoover's opinion
that the Mexican waters of the
Colorado river will not be affected
by the big development project, but
he contends that "there is certainly
nothing in the compact which re-
quires any water whatever to run
unused into Mexico, or which re-
cognizes any Mexican rights"
Five states, Wyoming, Utah.
Nevada New Mexico and California,
after many disputes among them
selves and with Arizona and
Colorado, have signed the compact,
which involves the construction OF
dams and reservoirs for irrigation
and flood prevention.
OREGON MAY ACT.
The present complexion of the
situation mUy be changed before
the project is actually started. Sc.

begun before a congressional appro-
priation is passed, and there can
be no Legislation for this before the
end of the present session.
In the meantime, the Oregon
administration is expected to call
a special session of the Mexican
congress at which further legisla-
ton respecting American property
rights in Mexico is expected to be
passed, clearing the way for recog-
milton by the United States.
Authorities In international law
hold that, technically, the United
States is not bound to consider any
treaty rights held by a country
with which it has no diplomatic
relations, but recognition of Mexico
would automatically restore the
rights 1T claims under existing con-
ventions.

STATE RESTRICTIONS
ON SCHOOLS FOUGHT
Teachers Union Begins Cam
paiun to Protect Freedom
of Teaching.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.--Condem.
nation of State laws which "tend
to restrict freedom of teaching
in the schools of America was
made today by DIR. Harry r. Lin
vile, president Of the Teachers
Union of New York, in announcing
the opening Of a nationwide cam
paign to- fight any laws which
tend to "State control Of opinion"
The campaign, led by Teachers
Union, and supported by noted
eduators in the country, Is par
ticularly aimed at the Lusk laws
in New York State and similar
laws in Oregon, Texas and Ken
lucky.
1.-THE spirit of the Lusk laws
said DR.. Linville, "has spread be-
yond the confines of New York.
State control Of opinion is popular
in the States of Oregon, Texas
and Kentucky.
Last November a bare majority
of the people of Oregon voted to
close the parochial and other pri-
vate schools, and to force all chill
dren between the ages Of eight
and sixteen to attend the public
schools. We call this religious in
tolerance.
"In Texas a bill has been in
troduced to compel all private
schools to teach exactly what is
taught in public schools. Educa-
tors know that progress towards
new 'ideas and methods is worked
out chiefly by private experimental
schools"

patterns and fabrics printed in Per-

Many of the patterns seen in fou-
lards and silks are almost exactly
like those that made their initial
appearance on cotton fabrics.
The greatest minds of the clothes
making industry-which is one of
the greatest in the world-have for
some time been turned toward the
making of gorgeously colored and
figured fabrics. The fabrics of the
great Rodier are this spring richly
decorated in a greater variety than
they have ever been before. Heavy
embroideries are lavishly used,
Sometimes they cover the entire
fabric.
Many matching embroideries are
used, especially in the beige and

Novelty Cottons Used.

The same shades of cocoa brown
used in the smartest of winter
dresses will appear in cotton fab
RIGS. These frocks will be relieved
by collars and cuffs of white ma
terial with heavy embroidery often
in a blending shade of brown.
The short jacket-as predicted in
this paper a few months ago would
take the place of the sweater-will
be very prominent in summer cos
tunes. 1t will be of a cotton ma
terial to wear over cotton frocks.
With so much to draw upon in the
way of printed and embroidered
fabrics which show very bright col
ors, there is no limit to the design
that may be worked out in the cot
ton costume consisting of a frock
with a separate jacket to be worn
over it.
Many of these will follow out the

Matching Embroideries

A successful exploiter Of a fabric
or . fashion Of any sort Is never
niggardly In the use Of his mate
rails. The history of fashion has
shown that in order to gain any
sort Of attention q great deal of the
thing which one wishes to popular
lie must be shown.
The widespread use Of figured
materials at the present time is due
to the quantities Of models in these
figured fabrics which were brought
out last year. There were street
dresses with the entire blouse por-
ton Of figured fabrics, there were
indoor dresses and outdoor dresses
for summer wear made of materials
patterned in the gayest of designs
and most brilliant of colors.
In tracing back the why and
wherefore of the apparently re-
markable vogue for the figured fab
RIGS Of the present day one finds
that the craze for these materials
did not spring up suddenly. 1t was
q thing Of slow growth and really
dates back to summer resorts and
mid-winter resorts, where women
were seen IN frocks of cretonne and
chintz and silks in very bold floral
