COMES UP SOON.
Bcnaparte Dam Will Reappear
Courts Soon.

Attorney General Mullen plans to
commence action very soon in the le--
gal proceedings to establish the right
of the state of Iowa to build fishway
over the dam in the Des Moines river
at Bonaparte, according to the Des
Moines News. The legislature passed
law which requires the attorney
general to commence proceedings for
condemnation over the dam. This
will force the matter into the courts
again and it is understood that the
Meeks, owners of the dam, will again
make a fight to resist the right of the
state to give the fish a chance to get
up the river. Announcement was
made some time ago that one of the
Meeks would be a candidate for the
legislature, which indicates that the
effort to get the state to pay large
sum of money for the dam may be re-
newed again. Another recent project
is to utilize the power of the dam for
running an electric inter-urban line
across the southeastern part of the
state connecting Bonaparte with Bur-
lington and other cities.
