 It has been one long nightmare in attempting to get out a special edi- tion of this size with our limited force as the daily had to be kept up, the jobwork looked after, and a half hun dred details arranged and carried out. One great inconvenience to which we were subjected was the delay in secur- ing the special writeups and cuts from parties interested. In fact, some of these writeups are expected to reach the office some time next spring.
 We trust that our efforts will be we'll received.

STORY OF A ,TRoWEL

Thirteen years ago handsomely engraved silver@strowel was present. de to Mrs. Nora E. Milled of Dade- ville, Ala, by James Mitchell in recognition of her important work in behalf of waterpower development in her home state.
 As the trowel Is an implement of the builder, it was peculiarly appro- priate that MT. Mitchell's gift should take that form, for both he and Mrs. Miller were builders for posterity.
 Accompanying the trowel was the promise that with it she should lay the cornerstone of the mighty devel- opment project, whenever in future years the opportunity should come. Before the promise could be fulfilled both donor and recipient of the gift passed away.
 During the intervening years the trowel awaited it's day of glory and service, which came on November z, when in the hands of Mrs. Mil ler's nephew, J. c. Lovelace, it laid the cornerstone of the great Chero- kee Bluff dam of the Alabama Pow CT Company, of which MT. Mitchell was president at the time of his death.
 This gigantic enterprise on the Tallapoosa river is nearly comple- tion and will be put into operation next year. It will create thelargest artificial lake in the world, cover- ing 10000 acres, with a shore line of hundreds of miles and impouund- ing 530 billion gallons of water Be- sides the vast amount of power to be generated by the project, it will control the flood waters, and add many miles to river navigation.
 The symbol of a lofty vision, now abut to become majestic reality, the little trowel will be preserved as a memento of the dedication to the public service of one of the mightiest works of man.
