Cincinnati Wants a Dam Like "ours''


1t Is sincerely to be hoped that the
efforts begun by a1Chamber of Com
merce committee several months ago
t) secure for this cfty the location of
a movable dam In the Ohio river will
be successful, 1t is one of the. several
proposed improvements Of magnitude
whose successful promotion will great
Lly- influence for ithe futdre prosperity
and increased importance of Cincln-
natl as business center. tt
The dam is one of many contemplate
ed improvements now under way by
the government which shall eventual
ly convert the Ohio into a slack water
stream in periods of low water, and yet
be of no obstruction when nature fur
nishes plentiful supply of water in
the stream, as she does usually nine
and ten months in the year. At the
present rate it will be years before all
the proposed dams above here have
been builded and Cincinnati gets her
turn. For that reason the local com
mittee went to work to secure the con-
struction of this out of its turn. Pro-
gress has been made to the end that IL
the present river and harbor bill pass
es, an appropriation for an original
survey is available.
The proposed site for the Cincinna-
ii dam is at the head of Cullom's Rifle
eight miles down the river. It's con
struction would insure for the Cincin-
natl harbOr, and extending, probably
as far as Coney Island, uniform
stage of water of not less than six feet
This means much to the coal interests
primarily, and to all the people of the
Guy in the end. AT present coal is Of
ten scarce at the elevators, when there
is pIenty of it in the coal landings only
a few miles distant. But when the
river gets very low, as frequently oc-
ours in summer, it is Impossible to
move the barges of Goa. from the land
ings to the elevators and for all avail
able purposes the coal might as we'll be
in Pittsburg
This is one of the many arguments
to be advanced in favor of the imme-
date construction of the dam A sim
liar improvement has proved such
boon to Pittsburg. during its operation
of many years past, tnat the people
wonder how they got along without it.
-esides, 1t is one of the few desirable
things against which no argument can
be brought to bear. The dam is not
an obstruction, since IT is lowered to
tne bed of the river when there is a
stage of water above SIX feet, and this
permits of flusnrng out of the stream
whenever there is freshet.-Commer

State Political Talk.

lIanUOH III COlI. / IlDuut.l
Washington, Feb. 2S.-Albert Doug
las,ol Chilhcothe, who is here tonight, is
the latest avwed candidate fr the Re
publican nomination for Governor OF
Ohio. Mr., Douglas was mentioned"
not greatly to his displeasure, some
time ago, but it was understood that
he had abandoned his own claims in
favor of that other Ross county candi-
date, j. M. Thomas. Tonight, however,
Mr.. Douglas says he-will be a candi-
date for the nomination, If, when the
convention meets, it is made to appear
that he will have running chance.
Right in this connection is the in
Iimatien Mere that Representative w.
S. Kerr, member of Congress from the
Fourteenth Ohio district, may consent
to the use of his name as a candidate
for Governor if the fates seem
propitious 1t is not to be understood
that Mr.. Kerr authorizes this an.
nouncement. His friends, however are
confident that he would be a popular
candidate, and they point to his large
personal following in the Fourteenth
District, his conservative and able
course as a Congressman and his 10y
any to the regular party organization
last winter when the boilers were
holding high carnival in Columbus,
A number of Buckeyes were discuss
ing the Ohio situation at the Eb0ltt to-
night and having Snort with the fact
mat there are so many candidates for
Governor, indicating a belief on the
part of the Republicans that their
,lcket is sure to be elected. One of
these gentlemen made the following
list of candidates for State Office, whose
names may come before the next con-
ventlon. 1t is printed in the order in
which he wrote the names, and the Sc
quence in which they appear has no
significance. Each was jotted down as
1t occurred TO the members of the
party. Here is the list:

The Waterbown Farmers institute
was held in the Universalist church
Feb. 20 and o. we can say it was a
success from first to last.
The church was full and standing
room was at premium at every ses-
son. The State speakers, Messrs
Trumbo and Derthick, gave perfect
satisfaction. They were loaded chuck
fun 10 the muzzle with shot and, shell
and at each session fired right and left
and seemed to always hit the mark.
and at the close of the Institute seemed
10 be just as full and running over
with the same Stuff. We have always
been favored with local help; but few
times have they responded mot pre-
pared"
The music, one of the best features
of an Institute, was of a high nature
and was all home talent. Every ad-
dress and paper was listened to with
marked interest and it would be i'm
possible to make special mention of
part OF the program. w. B. Shinn, G..
P. Dyar, w. b. McGill, Capt Mason

From . publication having consider
able influence in the country. we learn
some facts relating to the sugar cam
paign os 1897 9s. There were oo6 fac
tories working. OF which l3o were in
Bohemia, Is in Moravia. etc. and II iu
Hungary and Bosnia. The area devoted
to bee,s in 1897 was ga 62o acres. from
which were obtained 6.s6o,Ooo tons OF
beets: the average yield was about 9 tons
to the acre, or about the same as the
year previous. The total raw sugar
production was ST.. 200 tons; the yield
was l. per cent OF the weight OF beets
worked. There were exported a2l.dO
tons Of refined sugar and l0l .ss6 tons OF
raw, or when expressed in raw. the
cxportatiou amounted to 56i.34o tons.
The average production for each factory
was $50 tons Of sugar. In Hungary
the average daily raw sugar production
per factory vas 700 tons. The yield pc
acre continued very low. In Aus;ro-
Hungary the average factory consumed
the product from 1895 acres OF land
The why's and ~herefores Of the low
prices at which beets may be delivered
at the factories continue to remain a
mystery. but the facts remain that with
their vrry low yields farmers appeared
to be cnntcnted; however, it must be
that there are certain advantages, such
as low rent, etc. that only the local tiller
