VALUABLE POWER SITES.

United States engineers have filed
with the state conservation, drainage
and waterways commission an inter
esting and valuable report, dealing
with the storage basis possibilities
of Iowa, the report being based upon
observations, surveys and investiga-
lions which have been conducted dur
ing the past few months. The en-
gineers state that five storage basins
100000 should be erected in the state
to store the flood waters of the Des
Moines river and other Iowa streams.
The engineers estimate that if these
basins are erected that millions will
be added to the value of the power
sites along the streams which the five
storage basins will serve.
1t is hardly to be expected that
these potentialities will be realized in
the immediate future, but the time is
coming when every possible advantage
will be taken of the water power pos
'sibilities of the state. In promoting
their ultimate development the Keo-
kuk and Hamilton project, now active.
" under way here. will doubtless play
an important part. 1t will afford a
stirling object lesson OF the value and
advantages of hydro-electric installa-
ton wherever the same is practicable.
and stimulate other communities and
the state at large TO make the most
of their opportunities.

Senator Lafayette Young said in 9
recent address that he hated to see q
farmer who had lived in Iowa for forty
years more or less. and who has ac-
cumulated modest fortune, go to Cal
ifornia, humbugged by advertisements
of the west. Such a farmer. he
added, usually is tightwad in Iowa,
but when he gets out in California,
he buys new set of false teeth,
wears a wig, courts a widow and be-
comes booster. If he had been a
booster in Iowa. remarked the speak
er, che would have made considerably
more money"

In St. Clair county H., the farm.
ers' institute adopted a resolution
asking the state legislature to so
amend the game law as to give unin-
terrupted protection to quails for a
term of three years. The resolution
is based upon the very important
fact that the quail is the farmer
best friend among the bird family. It
feeds upon the farmers worst en-
emies-the bug, insect and worm va
lieties, and does no harm 10 crops.

Prophecy.

I'm going to the country
To see the wild ducks fly.
IL legions and in thousands
FL see them winging by.
In shifting VS. they'll PASS me
A hundred yards o'erhead
And not duck will falter
And not duck drop dead.
Why do know I'll find them?
Why is my vision clear?
Why do see them winging
So periously near?
1t isn't intuition
III see them by the million
It's certain as the sun,
Because I'll take no gun.

RANGE WORKING PLAN.

1t was asserted yesterday that the
canvassing board named by the coun-
Gil to arrange for the approaching
bond election would convene for its
first meeting at the city hall some
time Monday afternoon. The exact
hour could not be given yesterday be-
cause the intention is to fix the hour

working plans will be devised, and it
will be made known then whether or
not the bond election will take place

as the committee is concerned. its
duties offer no obstruction, but there
is a grave possibility that books can
not be prepared in time for the early
June date.

HopkinsyilIc Tobacco.

Hopkinsville. Ky, March l5---Last
week was another notable one on the
local tobacco market. Hardly had
the excitement. caused by the sud-
den advance of $3.50 from s1S.75 to
S15.25 per hundred pounds OF the
week before, begun to subside when
on Wednesday OF last week 1t was
revived by the top price OF $3.50 be-
ing reached. And this, too, for loose
tobacco. On all four loose floors
the report was the same, big de
mand. heavy offerings and high
prices.
Almost as much commented on as
was the high prices were the heavy
offerings of loose tobacco. Wagons
continue to come from every direc-
tion and the sales for last week ag-
gregated about $4,000 pounds, on
which prices ranged from IS to SS
for lugs and from $3.50 to 1880
for leaf.
Hogshead tobacco is showing more
signs of activity. Prices ranged Sc
to 50 for lugs and IS to $i6.50 for
leaf.
The rchandling houses are kept
busy receiving and working up their
purchases. Stemming houses are
hard at work, too. In fact every
branch of the market is busy.

MAKE ELECTIVE
HOUSE OF LORDS
FIRES OPENING GUN
IN ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Associations, Corporations and Coun.
" Councils Advocated TO Select
Members.
BODY FROM WITHIN.

London, March 15.-The house of
lords entered upon discussion of
the self-denying 'ordinance proposed
by Lord Rosebery, preparatory to the
radical reform of the upper cham
Der. The crowd present indicated
the general interest in the subject.
Not seat in the chamber was vacant
when Lord Rosebery rose to move
that the house resolve itself into a
committee of the whole TO consider
the best means of reforming the ex-
listing organization, so as TO consti-
ltute itself n strong ana efficient
second chamber.
At the same time he presented a
lset resolution to the effect that there
was necessity for a strong and eff
cient second chamber for the we'll
being of the state; that such a cham
Der would be best obtained by the re-
form and reconstruction of the house
of lords, and that a necessary pre-
liminary to such reform and recon
stitution was the acceptance of the
principle that the possession of a
peerage in itself should no longer
afford the right to sit and vote in the
house of lords.
Reform From Within.
Lord Rosebery declared that the
time had come fora reform from
within, without waiting for the gov
ernment to carry out its proposals to
hamstring the peers and so emascu-
late the house of lords that it would
become no better than painted
chamber in which no self-respecting
person would care to sit. He said
il was wished to establish the cleo
tive principle. but 1t must not be
through popular elections. but by elec
tons by associations, corporations
and county councils.
Lord Rosebery poured scorn upon
the suggestion OF a single chamber.
which he declared was a proposal to
dig the grave of the empire. In
America. he said. the veto of the sen
ate was stronger than was ever the
veto of a sovereign.
