posed canal terminating at this point has
recently called the attention of capitalists
to it. Recent examination by experienced
engineers has demonstrated the fact that
the water power at this point can be devel-
oped to an almost unlimited extent, and so
as to be superior to any other on the Mis-
sissippi. The importance OF this water
power was fully comprehended as early as
1857, when maps were gotten up and an
effort made to induce capital to locate
there, but the panic at that time, and sub
sequent events of the war, put an end to
the enterprise, and it has remained dor

life after he left the army, and when called
again to the profession Of arms, his success

should be turned that hatterers should
be able to persuade him that he was su-
perior to others; that he was above law,
and shouldn't be fettered by constitutional
rules that bound his predecessors, was not
unnatural. 1t is too early to speak the
truth in explaining his sudden rise; but
all history demonstrates that the real enc
mics of the suddenly successful are those
who hatter them. The fatterers of Gen
eral Grant-Wa shburn, Jones, Logan,
Porter, Leet, Stocking, Berry and many
others, who need notnbe named-are re-
spocnsible for his failure. Eager to appro-
pirate him to themselves, they excluded
every great man from his councils. and
they cursed the nation with what will be

HE WATER POWER


THE WATER POWER
itself is, in the opinion of experienced en-
gineers, the best on the river, and Win
properly constructed dam and wings can
be made unlimited, and has none OF the
Objectionable features of other water pow
ers, as can be demonstrated. There is good
rock bottom from the main land to the ISL
and, with depth of water varying from
three to four feet, and high bluffs extend
ing down to the river bank at point above,
SO as to require no costly levee, as the gov
eminent was obliged to build on the island
of Rock Island, and at Moline. Again
the fall is sufficient to prevent filing Of thu
dam by accretions of sand, and also give'
good head to the power, and it is at abou
the center of CampbelFs chain on tn
rapids, which was improved by the .. s

For the Anti-Monopolist.
GRASSHOPPERS.
BY WALTER ARCHIBALD.

Thou curse OF western emigration,
A scourge, in fact, to all the nation,
And we may say, to all creation
As great an evil as imitation,
Or slavery, ere emancipation
But one from which there's no salvation,
For one whose helpless situation,
With farming for his occupation,
And little under cultivation,
Who raises on his small plantation,
Just food enough for winter ration,
INDUCING the anticipation,
And in the self congratulatien
That he has overcome starvation.
While he thus in contemplation
Lends wings to his imagination,
And feels he's under obligation
To the great Author of Creation,
His neighbor comes with information
That this to ur-winged abomination
Is eating up his vegetation
And comes without an invitation,
And yet with full determination
To leave behind him devastation
Alas complete annihilation!
Long Lake, Mimi, April, 1875.
