to which President-el not Roosevelt
recently made an Inspection trip and
In the further development of which
he announced an interest, la the
"Niagara of the south" insofar as po
tential water power is concerned, ac
Vcordlng to a bulletin from the
' Washington, D. C, headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
"Muscle Shoals Is off the main
highways and railroads, and consid
erably south of the center of popula
tion, and Is therefore not so well
known to traveling Americans as
some less Important power sites,"
ftiyA the bulletin.
River Crosses State Twice
"The Tennessee river, on which
these rapids are situated. Is the main
tributary of the Ohio river and car
ries a large volume of water, especial
ly in the spring months. The river,
flowing far to the south and then
far to the north, makes a vast bend,
Kreater than that In any other of the
major streams of the United States
except the Snake river and the Bio
Grande.
"Some of the headwaters of the
Tennessee rise In Virginia and the
stream then makes two complete
crossings of the state of Tennessee,
looping between times Into northern
Alabama. It Is the portion of the
river that lies In Alabama that con
v tains Muscle Shoals, a section of
r rapids 37 miles long. In this short
distance the river drops about 130
feet, nearly a third of the entire fall
between Chattanooga and the Ohio
river.
"Plans to Improve the Tennessee
at Muscle Shoals have been In exis
tence for more than a hundred years.
The work was first recommended by
the secretary of war In 1834. This
improvement was wholly for the pur
pose of bettering navigation. Work
was actually started in 1831 and
canal with several locks was con
structed, but was of small value.
Further Improvements to help navi
gation were made up ur'l the World
war, when It was decided to harness
ttie river by a power dam and to
utilise Its electric energy for the pro
duction of nitrates o be used in the
manufacture of ammunition. The
Wilson Dam was begun In 1010 and
was not completed until 1025.
600,000 Horse-Power Available
at Flood Time
"This dam is one of the largest In
the United States. The river spreads
out to a great breadth so that the
dam lacks only about 700 feet of
being a mile long. It la approxi
mately 122 feet high to the roadway
on top, and contained at the time of
its completion a greater volume of
concrete than any other dam In the
world. Because of the great width of
the river at the dam site, construcr
ytloa was very costly. Dam and pow
er house have cost to date $47,000,000.
The power house Is situated at the
south end of the dam and has foun
dations which provide for the Instal
lation of 18 giant turbines that will
produce a maximum of 600,000 horse
power. Of these, eight have been
Installed and are capable of produc
ing a maximum of 250,000 horse
power.
"Since the completion of the Wil
son Dam and power house in 1025,
the plant has been put to verylittle
use. Some electric energy has been
sold to existing power companies, but
at no time has the power house been
called on for its maximum produc
tion, -
' "In connection with the building
of the Wilson Dam, the federal gov
ernment constructed two huge fac
tories for the manufacture of ni
trogen of the air. The various build
ings of one, situated at the town of
Sheffield, a few miles down stream
from the southern end of the dam,
are scattered over more than 1800
f acres of land. It has never been in
use. The second, four miles up
stream from Sheffield and close to
the end of the dam, occupies a tract
of approximately 2300 acres. It has
been operated only on a test basis.
The government also constructed a
, large steam power plant of 80,000
' horse-power with which to operate
the second nitrate plant pending the
completion of- the dam.
Near City of Florence
"The north end of the Wilson Dam
Is in the suburbs of Florence, Ala
bama, a thriving little city of 13.000
Inhabitants. Florence Is a typical
inland southern town of shaded
streets, many of them lined with fine
old mansions. Like other communi
ties near Muscle Shoals, Florence felt
the hectic war-time prosperity that
poured liberal wages Into the hands
of 30,000 workers on the dam and
nitrate plants. But the town had
grown up long before, and today it
shows no scars from the boom period.
"When the Wilson dam was built,
primarily for power production, the
Possibilities of improving the navi
gation of the Tennessee river by the
structure were not overlooked. At
the north end of the dam Is a canal
with Its flight of locks through
which river boats are lifted into the
Wilson lake. Back water from the
dam makes the river navigable for
14 miles up stream, but at this point
a shallow stretch occurs. There an
auxiliary dam Is being built which
will make the river navigable to
Chattanooga. A small dam, also, has
been built several miles down stream
from Wilson dam to make possible
the pauage of river traffic over the
lowr end of Muscle Shoals.
"When the up-stream dsm Is com
pleted it will be possible for Tennes-
