THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY MORNING. JANUARY 2fl 19 FORD PLAN 'S NOW OUTLINED Development of Muscle Shoals Project is Rated Heavy Undertaking BARS PROFIT MAKING Detroiter Would Develop Water power Units Throughout Conntry DETROIT, 2lch.. Jan. 20 (By Tb Associated Press; If Henry Ford - obtains j 'possession of tbo Muscle Shoals project in Alabama ho will take Immediate steps to make ' that pari of the south one of tbo. Industrial centers of the country the Associated Press has ascertained, j . Tho Muscle Shoals plan of Mr. ford contemplates one of the greatest undertakings In the his , torr of America, and includes de velopment of the property as a mod;l and the! extension of the system to other parts of the coun tr.. . . v. . f Huro City Planned Mr. Ford's proposal includes tbo building of i a city 75 miles long in the Muscle Shoals region. It would be made up of a number of large towns or small cities. This Is In line with the manufacturer's kw that men land their families should live in small communities, where benefits! of rural or near rural life would not be entirely - juaw . .-; - .- Would Eliminate Profit Mr. Ford's proposal to the gov ernment Includes leasing of the property for lGtji years. But before the expiration of half of that time ne proposes to turn the completed project over to the people of the district or to the government in ehlnery and to light farm build ings, Mr. Ford believes. Awaits Federal Anion Mr. Ford expects to leave about "boon tomorrow for Washington to confer with Secretary Weeks re garding the proposal. Ho will be accompanied by bin engineers and others who have made a close study of the proposal. If the government accepts his bid, work at Muscle Shoals will be started at once. Tho nitrate and other plants would be run by steajn power, pending the time the great dam, that will require about two years to complete, has bar nessVKl the wafer at this point. Then would follow rapid develop ment in the opinion of Mr. Ford, until within a comparatively few years an Industrial center greater than Detroit would - have been built up. Valley Derelopmrn Mr. Ford believes the Muscle Shoals plan, if consummated, will be the start toward development of the Mississippi River valley. 1 The manufacturer believes this valley could "run the United States" if the water now going to waste could be utilized. Eventually, in Mr. Ford's opin ion, the government could deriv; enough" revenue from the power projects to support itself, thereby revolutionize? the financial nva-! tem of tha country. r MEAD ACHEl AXli lKJnY ACHED There are varlons nvmntnmn of kidney trouble rheumatic pain, backache, sore muscles stiri Joints, end "always tired" feel ing Mrs. George Morgan, ht.

The truth is as follows: The Associated Oil company is con structing a larsa tank at Nine teenth and Oak streets and the work of riveting will begin. Now when sheet. iron about three-sixteenths of an inch thick is riveted, it requires a number of pneumatic sUi l rivets and the wouderful nipping noise v. ill come trom the pn'viniut C machines in action. The List time such riveters were heard in Salem was When the Marlon-Folk county bridge was under construction. This time the entsitainment is almost entirely for the Oak-Nineteenth residents."
