By ROY E. HUTCHENS KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 6.— This rough, mountainous ion where for years the inhabitants have gained a livelihood from small scale farming and cojl dig- ging is awakening as Pisident Roosevelt’s gigantic Tennessd2 bas- | in project gets under way. | The stage is at the Cove|Creek | dam site on tiny Clinch | river,| which winds rpent-like through | the hills in its rush to the T§unes- see river.

Its name:.comes fr¢m Cove Creek, a small stream empf 7~ ing into the river a few hundred yards abova. The dam, which engineers fsay will be one of the world’s larges:, will be 225 feet high, more than twice the height of Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, 250 miles south- eastward on the Tennessee. Increase Power Below Government engineers say the dam will more than double the pri- mary, or continuous 24-hour power at some of the dams below on' the Clinch and Tennessee. With 11 possible dam sites de- veloped, the river would produce more than 3,000,000 horsepower, en- HENRY KORHONEN Korhonen did not die from drown- ing but from a heart attack Three sisters survive, Mrs. An- drell, Mrs. Lydia Hill, of Pearson, Wash,, and Mrs. Lola Hill, of Ju- neau.

AT THE IOTELS . o0 o0 00000 o0 0 gineers have said, though the im- mediate projects are only Cove Creck dam and Dam No. 3 at Muscle Shoals. Cove Creek dam itself will gen- erate only about 200,000 horse- power. Its importance is chiefly in storage capacities, The reservoir will cover 53,000 acres, or 83 -squars miles, its wat- ers filling the valleys of the Clinch and its tributary, the Powell river. Parts of five counties will be in- undated. Approximately 41 miles in length and 12 miles in width, the lake will have a capacity of 86,000,000,000 cubic feet. Reservoir Is Big Job Preparing the reservoir floor will be a gigantic task in itself. All timber must be cleared from the heavily forested basin floor. Cav- erns that might turn water through some other territory must be plug- ged with cement. ‘Scores of cemeteries must be re- moved. Preliminary estimates have placed the cost of this operation alone at $85,280. Village to Be Submerged The cost of re-locating railroads, highways and bridges is estimated at more than $5,000,000. The village of Toyston will -lie at the bottom of more than 200! feet of water when the reservoir is filled, and the coal mining town of - Caryville will be partly sub- merged. Scores of schools, church- " s, and farm homes will be covered with water. Estimates made in 1930 placed the total cost at $37.540,643, includ- ing the main dam at $6,842.836, spillway at $1,810,839, power house at $4,903457 and barge lift at $2,- 983,850, but Major Robert R. Ney- {3 land, U. S. Army district engineer in charge, says the dam can be [J built for much less now. Foundations Solid Rock In the past six years the govern- (4 ment has spent more than $200,- | 000 surveying the project, making test borings for the dam founda-y tion and drawing plans. Solid rock roundations have been found. .l BETTY MAC | 'BEAUTY SHOP | | 102 Assembly Apartments | - | PHONE 541 | Washimmgton Henry Korhonen, aged 34 years, who was born and raised on the Channel, met death recently in Lake Washington off the east end of Seward Street, Seattle. An ac- count of the accident also says that but for the heroism of one of his companions, Fred J. Burch, 33, 348 W. Nickerson ‘Street, a third member of the party, Al Lamou- reaux, 31, 2791 E. John Stree also would have lost his life. Although he cannot swim, Lam- oureaux, seeing Korhonen sink, had | plunged into Lake Washington in lan effort to save him and, ventur-|Donald, Re velstoke, B. C.; D. H ing beyond his depth, went himself. down Saves Rescuer Burch, almost fuily aressed, im- mediately followed Lamoureaux into| the water and succeeded in resci- jing him. Burch then tried to lo- eate Korhonen's body until he be< came chilled to the bone, where- upon he ran for help. Forty-five -minutes later V. H. Nivison, proprietor of the Seward Park Boat House, recovered Korho- nen’s body, and members of Fire Truck Company No. 12 worked on it for an hour and ten minutes in a vain effort to resuscitate him. Tells of Tragedy Korhonen was the first undressed and he pinged into the water with- out waiting for the others. “He swam a stroke or two and then seemed to dive,” Burch re- lated. “I didn’t think anything of it, ‘until Lamoureaux ' exclaimed: ‘He’s gone down. Something -must be the matter with him. He's drowning.” “Lamoureaux jumped in, evi- dently thinking he could wade out and get him. But there’s a steep drop off at that point and he went down likea rock. “I was still dressed, but I went in then and managed to get’ Lam- oureaux ashore.” Korhonen's body was taken to the White Funeral Home at the re- quest . of his- sister, Mrs. :Lily An- drell, 4408 W.

"GOV GENERALS MANSION IN MANILA, PT IDetroit, who has beeminamed by President Roosevelt as Governor General of the Philippines is an ideal example of the bromide “youth will be served.” A native of Harbor Beach, Mich., Murphy was graduated from igan Law School in 1914, after which he studied in Lincoln's Inn, London, and at Trinity College, Dublin. With the entrance of the United States into the World War, he attended the first officers’ training camp and was commissioned a first lieutenant. He served overseas, was promoted to captain and remained in Germany dur- ing 1919 with the army of Occupation. In 1920, Murphy returned home to civilian life and made his political debut as' C States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1923, at the age of thirty, he became Judge of the Recorder’s Court of Detrait. In this capacity he became widely known for his liberal tendencies on the bench. His popularity grew by leaps and bounds, and ‘in 1930 he was . elected Mayor of Detroit. During his administration as Chief Magistrate “ of the automobile city, Mayor Murphy attracted nation-wide attention £ by his championship of the unemployed, and the - relief programs he inaugurated for their benefit. In the recent Presidential campaign, while . Michigan’s Democratic leaders were still sticking to the bandwagon of Alfred E. Smith, Murphy came out for Roosevelt and played a prominent part in the latter’s victory in the State. Bluz foxes $ 600.00 Fish Fresh and frozen !
