Some idea of the steady growth OF
Clifton and its immediate vicinity
is given by the telephone directory
Just issued by the Colorado Telephone
Company. Clifton Is shown to have
Is more subscribers than when the

This is an Increase of probably 20
per cent in the telephone population

may not be newcomers. it is at least
evidence of the general prosperity of

The kEokuk DAM.

A recent issue of the Christian Sci
ence Monitor contained two-column
cut OF the Keokuk and Hamilton dam
and power plant, on its first page
in connection with a dispatch from
Chicago setting forth the salient fea-
lures of the great enterprise. The
dispatch states that Chicago capital
lists are interested to the extent of
about $4,000, 000-about one-sixth of
the total cost of the project. It is
noted that work is going on extern
sively on the Illinois side and will be
begun on the Iowa side in a few
days. The following additional par
ticulars are given in the dispatch:
This immense undertaking at Keo-
lluk, which is to develop an enormous
water power, has been mooted for
years. H. l.. Cooper. who has the
work in charge, built one OF the big
power plants at Niagara Falls. and
about five Years ago secured from To-
cal interests here an option ON a
federal franchise which had been Sc
cured by them
The dam and works connected with
it are calculated to develop 200, 00Q
horsepower or more. and it is eX
pected that its full product of power
will be contracted for soon after
! completion of the plant The dan
will be $500 feet in length, of rein
forced concrete, thirty-seven feet il
height and thirty-seven feet in thick
ness at the base, seven feet of it:
base being sunk into the rock bottom
of the river. The spillway will ey
tend four-ffths of its length, straigh
across the river. and the remainde.
1,400 feet in length, will be occupied
by the power house which will con
tain thirty turbine engines attached
TO dynamos. The power, it is eS
pected, will give a great impetus t
local industries, while some of it ma
be wired a long distance for use il
other communities.

A somewhat startling statement was
made in last weeks budget OF notes
from the International Catholic Truth
Society. The writer of those notes
and comments expresses the belief
that within one hundred years the
United States will be completely
Latinized.' He bases his conclus-
ion upon statistics which reverse the
conclusion reached in some quarters
that the Latin nations are decadent,
and points out that the average num-
Der Of babies for every thousand
American mothers during 1909 was
twenty-one: the average Number for
every thousand Spanish mothers was
one hundred and twenty-three; the
average number for every thousand
Italian mothers was one hundred and

THOUGHT EoR The DAY.

Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and desires of lit
tie children: to remember the WEAK
ness and loneliness of people who
are growing old; to stop asking how
much your friends love you, and to
ask yourself whether You love them
enough; to bear in mind the things
that other people have to bear on
their hearts, to try TO understand
what those who live in the same
house with you really want without
waiting for them to tell you; 10
trim your lamp SO that it will give
more light and less smoke, and to
carry it in front so that your shad-
ow will fall behind you; to make a
grave for your ugly thoughts and a
garden for your kind feelings with
the gate open-are you willing to &c
these things even for a day? Then you
can keep Christmas.
