Wonderful Possibilities
For North Arkansas
Down through White and
Cleburne counties runs the
Little Red River. On the Lit
tle Red River in White county
the Arkansas Power Corpor
ation has a great dam under
construction. When this dam
is completed, which will be
this summer, enough electricity
will be generated to supply
the entire city of Little Rock
and another city half as large.
Up the river near Heber
Springs a second dam is con
templated and when this dam
is completed the two will hold
water that will be able to turn
out power enough to run four
cities as large as Little Rock.
We do not speak of these
power units in their technical
terms, but these two plants
would create power at a small
cost that will be ample to run
every factory and lighting
plant now in the state of Ark
ansas.
The source of this power
is nearer Memphis than are
many plants in the south
near to their consuming cus
tomers. The Red River Power
stations are in lower reaches
of the Ozarks. The towns in
easy distance are Jonesboro,
Newport, Brinkley, Parogould,
Searcy and Batesville. All of
that part of Arkansas above
the Arkansas River, also in
cluding such points as Hot
Springs, Pine Bluff and Little
Rock, can be supplied. This
power, developed, would en
able a great industrial center
to be built up along Crowley’s
Ridge and further west. The
power could be distributed to
other parts of Arkansas where
there are individual plants.
Labor along the foothills of
the Ozarks for cotton spinning
is plentiful and intelligent.
The supply would be constant.
People high in the hills have
little to do beyond the immed
iate problem of supplying
themselves with food. They
are intelligent and industrious.
We are informed by en
gineers that the foundations
for the two lakes that would
supply these plants are not
limestone with its caverns and
crevices, but a hard sandstone
making a reservoir foundation
and side walls of not only an
impervious but also of an in
destuctible character.
Capital is needed to finance
this enterprise to its comple
tion. We know of no field oi
industrial power investment
which should be more attract
tive.
If the natural conditions
that exist in the Red Rivei
county existed in the Carolina*
or in the mountains of Penn
sylvania the undertaking
would be eagerly financed
Arkansas, like many of out
,(southern states, suffers from
a political attitude toward out
side investments and that has
retarded them. These appre
hensions are for the most
part groundless, but at the
same time, they are factors.
The Dukes were natives of
the Carolinas. They made
money out of tobacco. Some
of this money they put into
'the development of electric
power in their own states.
Their example encouraged
others to embark with them.
So it will be up to the people
of Arkansas to show their faith
and confidence in the enter
prise by carrying it on as far
as they can. Already hydro
electric power is a matter of
course in the Cumberland
Mountains of Tennessee, in
(Northern Alabama, in the
n.ountais of Western, North
and South Carolina, and
Northern Georgia. If Henry
[Ford or someone else develops
the colossal energy at Muscle
Shoals, then the development
in the Ozarks would complete
'the cresent extending from the
Carolinas across to Oklahoma.
The Carolinas are already
filled with cotton mills. They
use electric power. Northern
I Arkansas would be filled with
similar mills if the electric
power were developed. Much
of the raw cotton of this val
ley would? have a home mar
ket. Instead of going out of
'the South at 10 to 30 cents a
i pound, it would go out manu
factured worth from $1 to
81.50 a pound. The differ
ence would go to the laborer
and to the southern capital in
vested.—‘Commercial A ppeal.
