Everybody looking on as the reservoir starts to open.The
local paper descibed this moment by saying,'He (Prince George) pressed a silver
button and immediately the valley resounded to the shrill sound of hooters
and engine whistles.The applause of the visitors was drowned'.Then for a shortwhile
there was a silence,then the water started to move from the depths of the
reservoir.The paper went on to descibe this moment by saying,'Down below,a
hundred feet away in the depths of the reservoir,the water began to rumble
like the voice of an earthquake as it poured through the valve out into the
valley below.As the valve slowly lifted,the rumbling grew louder.In a few
moments the water began to pour through one of the huge bell pipes in a great
spray of silvery white'.Prince George was then led off to the valve tower.
