Nav End Ozarks' Dark AGES.

The Ozark Water and Power COM
pany soon will begin the construction
of a large dam across the White
river near Hollister, fancy county,
Missouri. A half million dollars has
been raised for the work. OF that
amount $45O,0 600 was subscribed by st.
Louis capitalists. The company will
construct the dam preparatory to
building an immense electric light
plant to furnish light and power TO
the many towns in that section. The
promoters say that they will be able
to generate the power at so low a
cost as to be inducive to the plant
here to get its power from them. The
bill permitting the company to dam
the river at this point was passed by
congress only a few days before it's
adjournment and within a very short
time, the entire amount needed had
been raised and the engineers were

Ozarks. Moreover, counties which
now are almost isolated expect to OBJ

river as a means of transportation,
said Sidney J. Roy, secretary OF the
Hannibal Commercial club, to the 200
business men forming the Macon
Commercial club. when our people
realize the great advantages this
state possesses in the way Of water
transportation, and then go deter
minedly to work to put them in a
practical state for boats we will go
forward with a mighty stride and new
towns will blossom along the rivers

THE TREASURY HAS A SURPLUS
For the First Time Since July, 1910.
The Government is on a
PAYING Basis.

Washington, ID. C.-Uncle Sam
balanced his books and counted his
cash and found the government on a
paying basis for the first time since
July l.. 1910.
The treasury began business for
April with a surplus Of $4,000, 900 on
all ordinary accounts. There was a
corresponding deficiency of more than
$4,000, 900 a year ago. Treasury
officials attribute the favorable gains
to rapidly increasing receipts from
internal revenue, more than to any
other cause. customs receipts have
declined $4,000, 900, compared with a
year ago.

able and satisfactory hot beverage.

most salutary. The heart palpitation

GREAT WATER POWER
 IN TEXAS WASTED

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, May D. Especial )-According to estimates made by the United States govern ment. almost unlimited water power is going to waste in Texas. If this were utilized in running factory machinery, it would furnish powe for the manufacturing of the entire cotton crop of the state. Some no ton of what this means can tc gathered from the fact that Texas prcddces one-third of the cotton grown in the United States. Al ready some effort has been made to harness the streams for power rur- poses. The Guadalupe at New Braun fels furnishes 30.000 horse power and at a number of other points stream have teen damned and power dc veloped.
 One Of the largest dams in the world is that across the Colorado a' Austin. This is 90 important as a source of power that the nationa government has prepared an article of twenty-three pages broadly ill1s trated with pictures showing the commercial importance of such an ef. fort. The Brazos river offers many advantages for water power puI- poses. The San Miguel. the Nueres and the Medina all maintain a flow that justifies conservation for powel building. It is understood that at a number of points iR this state manu featuring interests have secure rights and will begin in tho neal future to harness streams so tha' the power may be utilized In a mum Der of places in this country farmers have damned small streams and thu. furnished power for lighting theii homes and driving small machinery Such dams 2s these are not uncom mon in the north and east and it < said that this same system Of ufil iZing power will soon be ado1ted bl many farmers along Texas streams
