clude all the varieties of trees that grow in the temperate zones, and vast beds of coal and of iron, zinc, lead and copper ores, and rich veins of gold, and great quarries os marble that excel those of Italy in texture and in the varieties of beautiful coloring, and all the slates and rocks that are useful and beauti- full in architecture, and the hills crowned with the plumes of stately pine forests that never fade or fall, and the hills and valleys decorated with fields of cotton that, like bridal wreaths, wei, come the coming of the snows and the hoar frosts of northern winters. The beauty of this mountain region and its salubricus climate and springs of pure waters cannot fail to attract the. many millions of people who are searching the world over for pleasant homes.
 UndcveIoped Power
 The report particularly refers to the large amount s of undeyeloped water power available on the Tennessee river and it's tributaries and points to the significant fact that since there is so much power that. can be developed for supplying the needs of this region, there is, therefore. set free vast amount of coal for, export that would otherwise be consumed at or near the mines.
 The value of the power as a means of economically advancing the naviga- ton improvement was foreshadowed in Senator Morgan's report,s which states l:
 We have reached the point of time in which the sedate consideration of the value of water power must prevail. It is already among the greatest actual re- achievements of the money resources of the government, aside from taxation, in the improvement of the navigation of all our mountain water courses. This new departure has come to stay, and it is grand step in our progress
 But even 'SenatorN Morgan with his breadth of vision and far-sightedness did not foresee that within 20 years plans would be in preparation not mere ly for few locks and dams at the points where water power could be most advantageously developed but that the river as a whole would be the subject of a slackwater plan of navigation, pro- ductiye of water power from one end to the other.
 The resources to be found within the watershed of the Tennessee and it's tributaries are very large and include a remarkable diversity of industrial raw materials. Any account of these, how ever nasty and brief, should properly begin with coal. The tonnage of coal, classified as recoverable" is perfectly enormous, Some idea of the total may be had from the fact that the Sewanee seam alone, including only that portion in the Cumberland mountains from the Little Sequatchie river north to the junction with Walden's ridge, has been estimated at 2,073,OO0,OO0 tons. while the total coal area in Tennessee alone is estimated at 4,4O0 square miles and the tonnage at 25, 5,655, 900, 900 tons. These coals range in quality from camel coal to semi-anthracite and the veins show excellent workable

FINE GAIN IS MADE
 BY BREAD COMPANY
Tri-Cities Concern Is Delivering
 5000 Loaves A Day

One of the most interesting and az gressive little industries in the Muscle Shoals district is that of the Tri-Cities Bread company, located on Raleigh avenue. in Sheffield Mir. Paul Froh. man, the manager. has been in charge
 of the plant since June, 1922. At that time he was employed by Mir. NJ. B. Walter.
 Mir. Frohman's aggressiveness and capacity for making innumerable friends changed the business from a losing proposition to one of the best paying small industries in the district. When he took charge, the capacity of the plant was 800 loaves per day. and Just two years later the deliveries averaged 5000 loaves per day.
 The plant is modernly equipped and everything is handled in sanitary manner. A few months ago the owner, MT. Walter. desired to retire from the firm and Mir. Frohman purchased his interest. The company at present en- ploys IS men and has fleet of four trucks. making deliveries. It not only serves the Tri-Cities territory, but makes daily shipments of bread and bakery products to many towns within 100 miles radius of Muscle Shoals.
 Mir. Frohman attributes his success to the loyalty of his organization and to the use of printers ink. He is a regu- lar advertiser in local newspapers and uses several other mediums of publicity, Mir. Frohman is a member of the Ro- tary club, American Legion, Chamber of Tuscumbia and Sheffield. and is very active in all civic enterprises, having contributed literally to the Tennessee River Improvement association, and other various enterprises that are work ing to increase the popularity of the Muscle Shoals district.

 Sheffield Strategic
 The city of Sheffield, of 5000 popu- lation, is located in an excellent strategic position. Being on the south side of the Tennessee river and within a short distance from the nitrate plants and Wilson dam.
 It was founded in 1884 and named after Sheffield, England. a city which it hopes to, emulate with the vast amount of manufacturing resources located at its back door.
 The division headquarters of the Southern railway (Memphis to Wash ington) are located at Sheffield, which is also the terminals of the Louisville al Nashville railway from Nashville and the North Alabama railway from Birmingham. Together with this ad- vantage in rail transportation, 1t is cut by the Jackson, Lee and Muscle Shoals highways.
 Sheffield has the commission form of government and the most modern facili- ties for water, lights, gas, and electric lines. The headquarters of the Shef- field company are located here and from this point the company operates an interurban system to Tuscumbia and Florence. Bitulitihic pavement and macadam streets add to the city's beauty. Natural parks, well-kept play grounds. winding paths along the high cliffs and river drives are all assets of which any city would be proud to boast.
 Few cities in America possess a more perfect setting for beautiful homes. It is said that Andrew Jack son remarked that this wuold be the ideal spot for national capitol.
 With splendid type of citizenship, a thoroughly modern school system, aggressive churches of all denomina- tions, active civic and fraternal or ideal manufacturing con ditions. and fertile territory for agri- cultural pursuits on every side, Shef- field can modestly assert her claim as 'The City of Opportunity"

In the development of real esta,e by John J. Nyhoff in the Muscle Shoals district the people of Sheffield and that district can be justly proud.
 MT. Nyhoff went to Muscle Shoals over two years ago and was the first real estate operator to make invest ments in the muscle Shoals district after Henry Ford made his bid for Mus cle Shoals.
 His faith in the district and the pos abilities is besl emphasized by the fact that his holdings represent a ma jor in- vestment in the Muscle Shoals district. The Nyhoff holdings lie between Shef- field and Florence, immediately in front of the main entrance to nitrate plant No. 2 an dare served by both street railways, the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads. The Jackson highway runs directly through his properties. All of his real estate is located within the city limits of Shef- field.
 For any one to make visit to the Nyhoff properties is revealation in high grade development work. Five separate construction companies are actively at work on his properties. The Muscle Shoals Construction company. the Southern Roads company. the Long Cry Construction company, the Mitchell Brothers Construction company of Bir- mingham and. Runyon and Hagler Con struction company are actively at work making ne wcity streets, grading, pay ing, laying water mains, sidewalks and

 The development of power and navixsI ation along the lines above indicat ted, would quadruple the power which couldE be legitimately devoted to the fixation1 of nitrogen at Muscle Shoals, and. would ultimately result in at least. 100000 tons of pure nitrogen, in places of the 50,000 tons which : representst the present capacity of these nitratez plants. This would be equivalent tol one million two hundred thousand ton <! of Chilean Nitrate per annum, which, is oyer four times the amount rowa imported from Chile into the Unitedt States. One million tons of Chilean nitrate, mixed in an ordinary 10s2-2z fertilizer, would produce eight miIlicn2 tons of such fertilizer. Allowing 4UO2 pounds of this mixture to the acre this would mean the fertilization off forty million acres of ground perl annum.
 The same vast quantities of nitrates. devoted to war purposes, will give toa the United States the greatest internal3 supply of nitrogen for explosives of! any nation on earth, and will renderS this country impregnable to assault3 from any foreign power or combina-} ton of foreign powers.
 The above in outline represents the. aspirations of the people. of the Ten-k nessee Valley as to the purposes to which, Muscle Shoals will be devoted for theS prosperity and safety, of the American4 people
 We believe that it means more foz all the people of the United States toz give Henry Ford an opportunity tds bring this great plan of his, to. as full fruition, than it could possibly{ mean to turn Muscle Shoals over to3 the Alabama Power company, whicf4 would use the power from Dam 2 alone to light incandescent lamps and toz turn ceiling fans.

Nyhoff's developments alone will represent total expenditure of up- wards of $250,000 for improvements alone.
 Over 100000 yards of grading alone will be made on his properties. Miles of new streets and sidewalks will be made.

 years later under the name of "Oko Kapssa,n meaning, in the. Chickasaw- Choctaw Indian language, "cold spring" from Spring creek of the vicinity. The name was changed to .Tuscumbia in 1922.
 Today Tuscumbia is one of the thriv-, ing of smaller communities of the south. The. town has large number of well established business houses and is mak- ing rapid progres in civic improvement work. Recently a new $90,000 high school was. erected in the city on the site of the Deshler Female Institute, a gift, years ago, of Mrs. James Desh- Ter, wife of the. Confederate general. A paving program launched not long ago calls for extensive construction along this line.
 On the southern border of Tuscum- bia is Big Spring" with its flow of IT, 300 cubic feet per minute of the purest freestone water. Just across the stream is the beautiful Spring Park and the building, grounds, and race track of the Tennessee Valley Fair as- sociation.
 In its educational facilities Tuscum- bia has a modern public tschool sys- tenn of 12 grades, and graduates from its high school are admitted on their diploma to the state universities. There is also Catholic school conducted by the Benedictine Sisters.
 The city has a wide-awake Chamber, of Commerce, Rotary club, Masonic lodges and other fraternal organiza- tions.
 Tuscumbia is, the native town of Hell ,en Keliar, the prodigy of the age, who, despite the fact that she is blind and deal, has achieved national renown as a scholar and authoress.
