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.

if residents in the neighborhood

should hear sounds resembling
a!)ut a thousand - woodpeckers
liajiimerin? away on a tin roof,
about next Monday morning,
I here is the assurance that the
sound does arise from a flock of
woodpeckers.
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."

The speaker emphasized the
value of a sound education, sav
ing that with most mn their vaI-.
ne is at a maximunj from the
shoulders town. while above the
shoulders a man's value can be
come as infinite as he chooses to
make It.
Mr. Flegel spoke feelingly of
tha privileges spread before the
students of Willamette, a priv:l
ege that he. as representing the
vast number who djd not have
such advantages and so had to
forego their college life. He was
heartily cheered at the close of his
eloquent address.
