was greatly surprised the other even

was about to arrest the Intruder when
he discovered that it was a neatly
made rag doll, life size, which had de
ceived him into thinking a woman
had mistaken his room for a free
lodging establishment. Friends had
made the rag doll of pillows, painted
its face, pressed it in a beautiful
night dress and covered it with the
blankets. Al. came home, at three a.

nothing like that having happened
to him before.

Tennessee River Midi Nevl
gable the Yur Round.
Chattanooga.—Completion of the lock
and dam at Hale's bar, near this
city, marks one important step by the
government in Its plan of malting the
Tennessee river navigable all the year.
It presages the time when there will
be an uninterrupted navigation be
tween all points on the Tennessee, Mis
sissippi and Ohio rivers, and also be
tween this section and the orient via
the Panama canal.
-The great project at Hale’s bar,
thirty miles below Chattanooga, in
cludes a lock fcullt by the government
and a dam and powerhouse erected by
the Clinttanooga and Tennessee River
Power company. Many serious ob
stacles to navigation have been for
ever obliterated by increase in depth
of water for many miles above the
dam.
The project Is peculiar In that It Is
the first Instance "where a private com
pany was permitted tp construct a
dam across a navigable river, where
river Improvement and power develop
ment have been combined. The work
has been done under supervision of the
secretary of war.
The lock at the opposite end of the
dam from the powerhouse is built
against a rock bluff and haB a clear
width of sixty feet. It is about 300
feet long Inside the gates. The lower,
gates are fifty-nine feet high. Each
gate weighs 120 tons. The dam Is 1,200
feet loug: average height fifty-two
feet; eleven feet four Inches wide at
the top and from fifty-seven to sixty
four feet wide -at the bottom, accord
ing to depth of foundation. The pow
er house Is slxty-slx feet wide and 853
feet long. It. contains fourteen tur
bine units. each carmble of delivering
5,250 horsepower or a total of 73,500.
The power from this station will be
carried to Chattanooga at 40,000 volte
over 175 steel transmission towers, the
line crossing the winding Tennessee
river twice Ih~ order to maintain a
straight course. A substation In the
