A RUSSIAN THISTLE
1t is Very Prolific and is Regarded
as a Serious Pest.

Some one left a strange weed or
plant at the Herald office a few days
ago seeking identification of the
stranger. The weed is a member of
the class of thiStles and is cOlled the
Russian" thistle. 1t is not a native
of this soil and according to Hon.
John F. Lacey, when it first made its
appearance a few years ago it was
much feared and effort was made to
destroy it. 1t is not bad weed
however and is regarded as an excel
lent foliage plant, cattle and stock
eating the prickly stocks without diff
ficulty and with evident relish. Each
plant bears countless thousands of
tiny pinkish blossoms which come at
the base of every spine like leaf.
These make the seeds and every
plant is wonderfully prolific in its
seed harvest. The plant is common
ly called the tumble weed. The small
root culls from the ground in dry
weather and the drying plant caught
by the winds rolls here and there
scattering its seeds as it goes.
Botanically the plant is "Salsola,
Trague" of the family "Chenopodi-
aceae" of the "goose-foot" family. 1t
is "pig.weed" and is in the same
classification with the "lambsquarter"
and the "wormseed" plants. About
five hundred and fifty species of the
family have been classified. This
particular specie is indigenous to
Europe but has secured a firm footing
on the western plains of this country.
1t thrives in saline and alkaline
soils and has been regarded some.

$4,000 SUBSCRIBED
Oskaloosa People Will Hold the New
City Hall Bonds.

Oskaloosa people will furnish the
city hall. Announcement was made
to the city council at the regular ses-
sion Monday evening that the total
sum of $56,OOO.OO has been duly sub
scribed to take up the bond issue of
SAB, 10000, including an oral bid for
$S,OOO.OO thus far bid for the bonds.
Others who have not yet submitted
written offers of funds have signified
intention of taking some of the bonds
and the amount finally offered the
city will be in excess of the funds
now pledged Bond and security deal
ers have also been after the issue,
but they will not have chance to bid
as every dollar of the money will be
taken by home people. This is most
gratifying state of affairs and is pleas
ing alike to the administration and to
the people in general.
All members of the council were
present at a busy session of the coun-
Gil Monday evening and a multitude
of affairs both great and small were
considered. In addition to the usual
detail, claims, tax matters, monthly
reports. etc, which occupied consider
able time. action was had on other
affairs and there is business remain
ing on the table in sufficient quantity
to occupy the time of another SEES
ion, which will probably be held
Thursday evening" ~ D. r-- Co.,.
The council has adopted the plan
of having all claims against the city
published before being paid. That is,
all claims filed with the city clerk
will be laid over for two weeks, in
order to have the amount and the
nature of the claim made public by
publication in the city papers. This
is the plan adopted in a number of
the cities of the state and it has been
found to be of great benefit in the
saving of over charges, duplicate
claims, etc. The new system will be-
come effective following the pujlica-
ton of the claims list allowed Mon
day evening.

FATHER OF WATERS
WILL Be HARNESSED
MIGHTY DAM BEING
CONSTRUCTED AT KEOKUK
VIII Furnish 100000 Horse power and
When Completed Will BE Largest
of Kind in World-POwer for
Many Cities.

The Father of Waters, the mighty
Mississippi, is to be harnessed. This
mighty dam, which Is being construc-
ted at Keokuk, Ia, will furnish 200.-
900 horse power and when complet-
ed will be the largest dam for hydro
electric purposes in the world.
The dam will stretch across the
Mississippi from Keokuk, Iowa to
Hamilton, Illinois, a distance of al
most a mile.
The effect the giant powerhouse
viii have upon the industrial and
civic welfare Of the middle west will
be great Within a transmission dis
tance of practically 200 miles are an
unusually large number of flourish
ing cities and towns: St. Louis,
Bloomington, Decatur, Galesburg,
Rock Island, Springfield, Quincy Pc
oria, Joliet and Rockford, in Illinois,
and Dubuke, Davenport Des Moines,
Clinton and Cedar Rapids in Iowa.
Then there are the large cities Of
Missouri-St. Louis, Kansas City
Hannibal and st. Joseph. Although
the work will not be completed un-
~ 1913, contracts have already been
made with the public service compan-
les of st. Louis for 10000 horse pow
er for a period Of SO years.
1t has been pointed out that the
east, as a whole, is the great manu-
featuring center, yet for many years
past there has been a pronounced
tendency on the part of manufactur-
ers to get as near as possible to the
sources of their raw material, or to
seek those localities where motive
power can be obtained at a minimum
of cost. Illinois and Iowa have al
ways been agricultural states. The
farmers of that part of the country
have become exceedingly prosperous
and now it looks as though there
would be a rapid Industrial develop
ment throughout that section. Hence
it is by no means necessary to regard
the market for the power developed
on the Mississippi as limited to indus
tries already existing in the market
territory. 1t is a safe assumption
of hydro electric power will gradu-
ally evolve new industries.
II is understood that the power
generated will be supplied to existing
central stations in different towns
and cities in the territory that can be
served in much the same manner as
natural gas is supplied to local gas
companies in the gas belts. The pow
er will be supplied under contract to
the central stations, and the stations
will use it instead of generating cur
rent. The present equipment of the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-06-09

stations need not be dsmantled, but
may be held in readiness for emer-
gencies.
The project involves the building
of solid concrete dam across the
river, a powerhouse, and new lock
and dry dock for the accommodation
of river traffic.
The United States government and
the Mississippi River Power company
are Jointly interested in the enter
prise. The government secures free
Of cost new lock and dry dock, to
replace the present canal and three
locks, which will be submerged by the
new dam-the new lock being much
larger than the old ones. The govern
ment secures also a new permanent
navigable stage of water for a dis
tance of sixty miles north of the dam.
only during the hign stages of the
river is it now possible to navigate
the Des Moines rapids, which extend
over a length of seven and one-half
miles Of river, except by the use Of
the present canal and lock system,
occupying the Iowa shore and finish
ed in 1877.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an lnflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever /:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed condi.
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
