Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06
BY LioneI' A. sheEdon, Ex-Governor Of
Arizona

n PEA KER CANNON is prominently
before the American people; the
position he occupies is theoretical
ly third in rank in the government;
but measured by the power it confers it
is second only to that of the chief
executive.
The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives becomes thus powerful
through the rules governing that body
and the prerogatives conferred on him
by them
The vice president is theoretically
second in rank, but very little power is
conferred on him. The rules of the
senate are few and simple. and under
them no senator can be taken off his
feet, nor prevented from talking as
long as and when he pleases, provided
the floor is not already occupied. The
vice president is not chosen by the
body over which he presides, but by ex-
traneous authority The senate APP
points it's own general committees and
directs what business shall be taken up
in that body is no previous question
nor cloture rule except by unanimous
consent
The importance of the vice president
is in the fact that he may become
president, and that event has happened
five times in our history. In general
the position OF the vice president is
ornamental and his duties perfunctory
Joseph G. Cannon l have known for
a third of century. He came into the
house of representatives on the 4th of
March, 1878. OF that body 1 was then
member, and he has remained mem
ber continuously since that time, ex-
cept for one term, having been once
defeated for reelection.
Cannon was not pompous, as new
members sometimes are; but he evil
IDENTIFY meant not to be overlooked
Earlier than most new members he be-
gan to assert himself by participating
In rough and tumble debate. He did
not indulge In the delivery of set
speeches, but he interested himself In
the current proceedings of the house.
He was not immodest, but he sought
occasion to lock horns with men old
In the service when he thought he
should.
Cannon is native of North Carolina,
and has a Characteristic OF southern
men generally who have opinions and
are bold In their expression and advo-
cacy. His rearing was in middle Illi-
nois in a rural community, and while
he was not uncouth, like Othello, he had
not those soft parts OF speech that

surplus water of the river. The aver
age height OF this spillway section Is
forty feet. or greater than that Of a
three-story dwelling. In the construc-
tion Of this one dam 10000 cubic yards
of concrete were used. Had this con-
crete been erected In the form of a
shaft twenty feet square, II would have
risen to a height Of about $40 feet, or
nearly half as high again as Bunker
Hill monument.
Near the main dam Is one which is
built In the form of an arch, which
sweeps in a graceful curve into the
waters Of the artificial lake and de-
rives its strength from It's form, just
as do the arches which sustain the
weights of massive bridges and tower
ing buildings. The purposes of the
service reservoir is to conserve the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

flow of the water in order to meet the
variable demands for power without
unnecessary losses of the precious
fluid over the spillway. A large stor-
age reservoir will be constructed
farther upstream, although it is not
necessary with the present plant.
Near the east end of the artificial
lake are the head gates through
which the water will be allowed to
flow into the canal, which, with its
breadth of sc feet at the bottom and
depth of 10 feet, is larger than many
that in the old days floated the boats
carrying articles of commerce from city
to city. The early canal builders were
obliged to work by hand. Earth ex-
cavation here has been made with the
aid of the enormous steam shovels,

has likewise grown wealthy from about
the same amount of power
The electricity generated on the st.
Louis river will be flashed to Duluth,
IA miles away, over lines of wire sup
ported on tall steel towers. In the city
there will be a sub-Station where the
voltage will be stepped down" for
distribution through the cities of Du-
luth and Superior which is across the
bay and which will probably be
reached by submarine cables. In the
sub-station will be placed the machln-
cry which will operate the trolley cars
in the two cities. Not only can such
a plant as this provide cheap power
for the industries big and little of a
city of $4,000 inhabitants, but the cleo
tricity can be carried to the great iron
mines on the Missable range, 10 miles
north, and to the cities of Minneapolis
and st. Paul, 100 miles away.
The work which has been done so
far is only the beginning of the gem
eral scheme which includes a develop
ment to me made later further down
the st. Louis river and also a plan
by means of which a portion of the
ST. Louis river water would be carried
over a fall of 740 feet directly into the
center of Duluth. If all these plans
are carried out there will ultimately
be developed 2UO, ,OOO morse power.
What is being done in this section of
the country is an evidence of the
enormous possibilities which are hid
den in regions where numerous water
courses finding their way over sharp
ly descending ground are awaiting the
coming of the engineers with their
armies of workmen to put the streams
in bondage and make them do the
work of producing power to be used
throughout large sections of the coun-
try roundabout.

lifting tons Of material at every
stroke. For over two-thlrds of n mile,
however II has been necessary to blast
way through rock, this section being
rectangular in shape, 80 feet wide and
Is feet deep.
From the forebay I'm which the canal
terminates and which still further pro-
vldes for sudden fluctuations i'm the
demands at the power station, the
water is drawn into the pipe line The
engineers refer to these great redwood
tubes as pipes, but to the uninitiated
they look moro like tunnels.
Another precaution Is taken to see
that the supply of water to the power
house is promptly increased or dimin-
ished as the varying demands Of the
business require. High above the

each equipped with a spiked pole
Along follow stout fellows, who tamp

top of the river bank, will stand a
great tank, 80 feet in diameter, and
as the water flows in or out of this
tank it will serve to take care of sud-
den changes in pressure when the load
upon the water wheels is diminished
or increased. An interesting detail of
construction at this point is found in
the arrangement by which the water
in the standpipe and tank will be kept
from freezing. This will be accom-
plished by bringing hot air from the
heating plant in the power house, 500
feet away and allowing ii to rise be-
tween the standpipe and it's tagging.

The present Senatorial cam
paign has been prolific of more
petty lying than is usual in polit-
ical campaigns. Some of these
lies are amusing, some disgusting;
nearly all of them are stupid.
Those who originate them must be
either exceedingly stupid them
selves or they have a poor opinion
Of the intelligence Of the voters.
Charges of personal misconduct
or reckless utterances on the part
of candidates such as have been

can be made a success. We be-
lieve in starting in small way
and building up, if it proves sue
