I've been eatin' three times day, and

a meal in my life, not even mothers

be acquired.
The great dam and water power
electric plant will cost at least $4,000,
600 to complete. Over $1,000,000 of
this will be paid to the owners of the
land which will be overfiowed above
the dam. Careful investigation dur.
ing the past year has determined the
feasibility Of the project, and nearly
100000 has already been expended
in preliminary work Surveys have
been made from Keekuk to Burlington
and 1t has been determined that in the
neighborhood of 5000 acres OF valuable
farming lands will be under IS feet Of
still running water, the overflow ex-
tending thirty-f1ve miles up stream.
Options On large party Of these lands
are already secured and the work Ii
continuing as rapidly as possible.
Dam Thirty-Five Feet High.
The great dam, which will be thirty
five feet In height will extend In a
grand curve across the river from the
end of the power house. In order to
admit Of the passage of boats there
will be one lock ON the Iowa side, in.
stead of three, as in the canal, which
will be drowned deeply, while the
government will save $4,000 year in
operating expenses alone.
Another preliminary problem which
has been solved is the matter Of the
elevation Of the tracks Of the Burling-
ton road, which run near the shore be-
tween Keolluk and Burlington. There
were but two ways to get around this
ticklish proposition-either the road
must procure a new right of way and
come into Keokuk by different
route or the tracks must be elevated.
The latter was decided upon after sew
eral conferences between Engineer
Cooper and the officials of the water
power company and the road. For
twenty-five miles the tracks must be
moved back and raised twenty five
feet or more, and the chief engineers
of the road have determined how this
can be done and at the same time cut
down the running time of it's trains be.
tween the two cities as much as ten
minutes.
Settling Preilminaries.
AS soon as the exact cost Of the
work can be computed the syndicate
of Canadian capitalists who provided
the money for the work at Niagara
will make their decision. They have
already said that they want to build
the dam, but they will not give out
the positive statement as to the date
when the work will be started until
they know exactly what the cost Is go
ing to be.
They are profiting by the experience
gained at Glen,s Fall. Pa, where they
built dam across the susquehanna
but began the work before they had
acquired possession Of all the land
necessary. The result was that they
encroached on the rights of the owner
OF a little island, which the owner
bought for $10o. But when 1t came tc
squaring matters with this man they
had to pay him 100000 before he would
be satisfied. That is why they are SC
careful to have all the preliminaries
out Of the way. before they turn loose
their 1000 men at eKokuk.

MARVELLOUS DAM
ON MISSISSIPPI.
HUGH COOPER, WALL STREET EN-
etNEER, SOLVES PROBLEM AT
kEokUK
Proposes to Build a Dam 5000 Feet
Long Across the Father Of Waters
at That Point-Expect 81, 500 Horse
oower-Two Years Work.

Keokuk, Oct. 17.-Hugh L. Cooper,
the Wall street engineer who solved
the problem of how to harness the
waters Of Niagara and who drew the
plans which made it possible to ac.-
complish that greatest Of all feats in
the line of electrical development, pro-
poses to build dam 5000 feet across
the Mississippi river at eKokuk, at the
foot of what is known as the Des
Moines Rapids. Here where the forces
of the father Of waters are the strong
est and widest, for a distance IF
twelve miles he has evolved plan to
build the immovable in front OF the
Irresistible and the old question Of
the ancient Greek physicists will be
answered in the changed commercial
conditions in the heart of the Ameri
can nation.
Large dams have been built before,
albeit none so large as the proposed
dam at Keokuk, which. it is expected,
will be built within the next two
years. The great Niagara Falls pro-
position was so enormous that for a
time the country laughed and said
that it was not possible to so control
the mighty forces there as to get 200,-
900 horse power for commercial pur-
poses.
211,5oo Horse Power.
But when the worlds greatest dam
4 here is completed, the immense power
house 1858 feet long, will contain
$ forty-seven immense generators, with
capacity Of 1880 horse power each,
/ or maximum capacity CT 211,500. to
be utilized in operating the industrial
wheels in many cities.
There was time not so many years
ago when the wise ones said it was as
impossible to dam the Mississippi at
his point as it would be to try to stop
the flow of the tides or to change the
course Of the moon in its orbit. The
forces Of the rapids is so strong that
practical engineers have figured that
41,000,000,000 gallons of water pars
over them in twenty-four hours. I'm.
8til 1877 it was impossible for steam.
boats to go any further north than
Keokuk because OF the rapids. All
freight was unloaded here and hauled
twelve miles up stream, where it was
transferred to other boats and the in
corrupted trip to st. Paul continued.
Thirty years ago the government built
great canal at This point in the in.
.erest of navigation, so that river traf-
fic would not be impeded, the cost be-
ng $5,000,000.
