Rumors are to the effect that
a company has been formed to ex-
tract fabulously rich mineral or
chemical material from the desert
waste on the other side of the riv-

successful. This country certainly
should be good for something!

Killed by Pocket Veto.

-Four years earlier President Coolidge
disposed Of q similar resolution. In
stead Of returning 1t unsigned and with

One of the best anecdotes centering

President Is told in connection with
this incident.
In his final conference with the press.

q newspaper man put TO the President
the query: What are you going to Go
about Muscle ShoaS?"

What constitutes the mammoth en-

proposed shall operate or leasr

Shoals?
The most spectacular unit, Of course
is the Wilson Dam. Larger even tina

impounds the waters of the ancien
Nile, and second only in size to Hoove.

present only eight power generating
units are installed in 1t. with horse
power capacity Of $4,000 The plant
is designed to accommodate l8 genera
tors. with an ultimate capacity of 600,-
600 horsepower.
Two navigation locks, 300 feet in
length and having a total lift of 96
feet at extreme low water constitute the
third unit of the Wilson Dam project.
Although the most costly single unit
of the Muscle Shoals development, and
certainly its most spectacular feature.
the Wilson Dam is but part of a much
more comprehensive scheme. The
steam power plant was constructed at
a cost of Sl2,000,000, while the nitrate
plants of which there are two. and
quarries and other features represent
an original investment of almost $70,-
600, 900 more.
There is still more work to be done
before the project Is ready to perform
its maximum Of service for mankind
Estimates of its cost ranged from $50
000, 600 to $125. 900. 600
It is now certain the Shoals" will
find g definite place in the life of the
Nation.

Muscle Shoals on Verge of Peaceful Life
After Is Stormy, Spectacular Years

a government corporation which would
operate the project.
witnesses for the power companies
expressed satisfaction with the Pres1-
dents proposal to set up an operating
body for the Shoals enterprise. Their
position. however, was qualified to the
extent that hope was expressed private
power interests would be completely
safeguarded through the SALE to them,
, Of electricity produced as 6y- y-proouct
Of the manufacturer of fertilizer.
In their turn. representatives OF the
fertilizer industry spoke in high praise
of the vision shown In the Roosevelt
plan. with the qualification that they
hoped the manufacture OF fertilizer
would not be a part OF 1t.
The implication Of the testimony OF
the two groups was that each favored
the projected operation OF the enter
prise by government 50 long as 1t re-
lated mainly to the product OF the
other.
Ford Steps Into Picture.
Always fighting words. Muscle
Shoals" have contributed spectacular
chapters to the personal histories oi
several national notables. Henry Ford
was one; perhaps the most prominent
In the early days Of the controversy
over the matter Of private or Govern
ment operation Mr.. Ford stepped prom
inently into the picture with an offer
to lease the project. His program
looked toward the manufacture Of nj
trate fertilizers ON mammoth scale
and the utilization Of the surplus n.y.
droelectric power In other manuiac-
turing operations.
The linking Of the two names, Ford
ana Muscle Shoals gave the c-ntinu-
ing story OF the project news bril-
lance that kept 1t Oh page one 1or
weeks.
Next to the motor magnate. the in
dividual who has been identified most
conspicuously with the long. hard fight
Is Senator George w. Norris Of Ne
braska. Jealous proponent Of Govern
ment operation of the project from the
start, Senator Norris name has been
attached to most of the numerous meas
ures which have kept the issue on the
floor Of Congress and in the eye Of the
public for the last decade and half.
The nearest approach to formal
disposition of the Shoals problem-and
it never actually was imminent-oc-
CURED In 1881. In that year both
Houses Of Congress concurred long
enough to enact resolution offered by
Senator Norris which called for a cor
poration to operate the properties. Both
electric power and fertilizer were to be
produced and distributed by the cor
porate enterprise which. under certain
terms, might lease the property to pri-
vate industry.
President Hoover vetcsd the measure.
His reason was announced as an un-
alterable opposition to competition be-
tween Government and private busi-
ness.
