The American people are rapidly wax
ing to the fact that our water ways arc
an enormous asset of the country
Since Theodore Roosevelt took that
trip down the Mississippi under the
auspices of the Water Ways Commits
sion. he has been an enthusiastic pro
moter of the varied forms OF utilizing
the streams and a valiant protector oil
the public rights therein. As he sail
ed down the mid-continent he became
more and more impressed with magni
tude Of this vast resource. Suddenly
he seemed to have mental prospect
of the water wealth of the country
rolling its treasures from the Rockies
in the West and the Appalachians in
the East. His Memphis speech show
ed how profoundly the prospect had
impressed him as he told his hearers
of the transformation to be brought
about in the future. The head waters
of all systems must be so reservoired
that an equal flow the year round
might be secured to navigable streams
Floods would no longer be unfettered
They would be restrained to equalize
the flow and to prevent the waste OF
land by erosion. The filling up OF
the Mississippi. by soil washed down
entailing unreasonable expense to the
government, would be stopped. Irri-
cation would continue to add millions
of arid acres to those already reclaim
ed to agriculture And power, by n.y.
dro electric equipment OF these streams
would be furnished in supplies cheaper
than coal can be mined and to last
when all coal measures are exhausted
permanent as the ancient mountains
and sure as the rainbow promise OF
the almighty.
Capital on Move.
Capital, argus-eyed to every opportu-
nifty for profit, had already begun its
stealthy march for the acquisition of
the strategic points involving control
Of this tremendous resource. The
inquisitorial spectacle OF the president
revealed a vision of menace. The
most powerful monopoly of history
was about to be formed by the captain
of this greatest American resource. A
giant Industrial depotism was immi-
nent. the magnitude of which would
pigmy all other monopolies. The
American waterford was near pos
sibility. stalking among the other cap
tains of industry. a Cyclops among Lii
liputians. one-eyed in selfish greed and
regardless of the public rights.
Already the machinery of acquisition
was at work. Powerful Hobbies were
encamped in the capitol at Washington.
But those near sighted Rooseveltian
eyes had seen enough. Suddenly mes
sage after message, aflame with indig-
nation at the proposed subversion of
the peoples rights, warned congress of
the conspiracy far-reaching. insidious.
and aggressive. Somehow bills like
the Riney River bill and the James
River bill, did manage to slip through
but only to be thwacked out of exist
ence by a peremptory veto. Then
came his last message, which was q

camps of capital equipped in every way

plans of powerful syndicate to &C

tricity to New York city.
The owners of power, whether feder-
al, state or private owners, hold the
key to the industrial progress Of the fu
ture. Fortunate the men who have
any part in this ownership. When the
oil kings shall have pumped their last
well dry, when the coal barons shall
have mined their last ton of coal. the
owners of water power privileges will
still be furnishing power. The day
of their profits will not pass away un-
til the sun ceases TO lift the waters OF
oceans and pour them into the reser-
voirs and gorges OF the crested noun
tains. The traffic. manufacture and
very life of the continent will be sup.
plants at their feet.
Electric Power.
Already steam power is being forced
out in many places by the cheaper by
dro electric power, One whole divis-
ion of the Great Northern railroad is
now electrified from a mountain cata-
ract The st. Paul railroad will soon
develop power which will supply en-
ergy sufficient to pull train Of load
ed freight cars one hundred and sixty
eight miles long. in addition to all the
passenger cars of the system. Harri-
man has for several years been acquir-
ing water rights for which he has paid
millions. He proposes to use these
powers in supplying motive force on
his roads. The great tunnel system
and subways of New York city Will
soon welcome the cheap power from
the Adirondacks which will cut their
present power bill in two.
The transmission of current for long
distances has now reached such stage
of perfection that cities, apparently re-
mote from surces OF power, are now
supplied with cheap. clean hydro-elec-
trio energy more than sufficient for ey-
cry need San Francisco's motive

These are the considerations which
demand a change. 1t means an &C
celebration of growth and importance
beyond all present power OF concep
ton. The marvel is that any city
should not be alive to the opportunit
les for hydro-electric power. OF
course it would cost millions to make
the change. But it would save more
millions. The profits on The capital
invested would reimburse the inves
tors in a comparatively short time. to
say nothing of the priceless advant
ages of enhanced civic welfare and
beauty.
Made No Mistake.
The prophetic soul of Roosevelt
made no mistake when he reused the
government and private owners to
the value of their water towers and
laid bare the designs % the would-be
water lords. A legion of experts re-
inforce his strenuous warnings and de
termined action. The figures they
give well nigh stagger the standards
OF the present yet when the profits
sure to accrue to the owners of water
powers are brought into view We see
they have rathe- under estimated

Within the last decade Rothchilde OF
London advised Lord Salisbury to
bring England into the. closest posi-.
bic commercial alliance with the Unit

to become the richest nation on the
globe. capable of IN industrial devel-

Not long ago Edison told a group OF

COOKING A TURKEY.

 the National Bird.

 When tlie turkey Is cleaned ready for roasting 1t Is trussed, after stufY- ing, and placed on it's side on rack in dripping pan. The entire surface is rubbed with salt.
 The breast, legs and wings are rub bed with one-third cupful of butter which has been creamed and mixed with one-auarter cup of -four.
 The bottom of the pan Is dredged also with flour, placed in hot oven, ard when the turkey begins to brown the heat Is reduced and %he bird is pasted with the fat in the pan, and t,so cups of boiling water are added for ten pound turkey, which is the average size.
 The basting Is continued every If teen minutes until the turkey is cooked. which should be from two and half to three hours.
 For basting. one-half cupful of but ter melted in one-half cupful of boil ins water is used. and after this has been all used 1t Is pasted with the fat in the pan and turned frequently during the cooking that it may brown evenly.
 If the turkey is browning too fast it is covered with buttered paper to pre- vent burning. The string and skew CTS are removed before serving, and a sarnish of parsley or celery tips is used.
 To make the gravy the liquid in the pan in which the turkey has been roasted is poured of.
 Six tablespoonfuls of fat are skim- med ofr from the liquid. returned to the pan and Drowned with six table spoonfulS of four
 Three cups of stock. in which gib- let's have been boiled. are poured on gradually; then, if preferred. the liq- uor left in the pan ia used. This is cooked i've minutes, seasoned with salt and pepper and strained.
 For giblet sauce is added the heart liver and giExard finely chopped.
 An old German custom in vogue with many families is to sprinkle car away seeds in the dripping pan while the turkey is roasting.
 This imparts fine flavor to the fowl and gives 1t a distinction from the or dinary turkey. This is particularly well adapted for use with q cold stor- age turkey, which one occasionally has to buy in lieu of a fresh Killed bird.
