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 sta
tions will use it instead of general

OF the stations need not be disman-
tied, but may be held in readiness
for emergencies.
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 Power Company are
Jointly interested in the enterprise.
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 lar
ger than the old ones. The govern
ment secures also a new permanent
navigable stage of water for a dis
lance of sixty moles north Of he
dam. Only during he high stages
of the river is now possible to navi-
gate the Des Moines rapids, which
extend over 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 finished in 1877.

INTERESTS BUNCOING FARMER
is WARNING GIVEN IN AN AID
DRESS BY PRESIDENT TAFT.
Outlined Some of the Methods EN-
ployed by the Opponents of Rec
iprocity With Canada.

CHICAGO President Taft in a
speech before the Western Economic
Society here tonight declared that the
principal opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement came not from
the farmer, but from the lumber
trust" and from American manu-
facturers of print paper.
In one of the most comprehensive
addresses that he has made on the
subject the president outlined some
of the methods employed by the oppo-
nents of reciprocity; practically told
the farmers that they were being
'buncoed" by special interests, and
said that the facts of the agreement
rested not so much with the United
States senate as with the people of
the country.
Expects 1t to Become Law.
If the country and the farmer at
large, he said, could be brought to
understand th&c this treaty was in
the interest of the majority of the
people he would no longer fear the
coming vote in the senate.
The president was not sparing in
his words.
In spite of the forces that are ar
rayed against it the president ex-
pressed the belief that the agreement
would boone law.

Mr.. RODDENBERY'S RETORT
HE soUELCHED LANGLEY AND
AROUSED ENTHUSIASM.
Pretense of Regard for the Veterans
by the Republicans Exposed in
q Short Debate.

WASHINGTON.-T installation
of negroes into places in the depart
ments instead of giving some of these
soft berths to veterans of the civil
war was thrust forcibly upon the
republicans of the house by Con-
gresham Roddenbery Of Georgia
when Representative Langley, one of
the two lone republicans from Ken
lucky, Dragged about the republicans
having enacted into law provision
giving preference in all branches Of
the public service to ex-soldiers and
sailors.
Representative Roddenbery's fiery
eIoouence has won for him the So
briquet of the Georgia cyclone" His
brief retort to the Kentuckian this
afternoon aroused the democratic
side to the liveliest enthusiasm, and
his reference to African sons
holding down easy jobs in the depart
ments when those places might have
gone to old soldiers precipitated the
biggest demonstration of day of
noise in the house
Your expressed preference in IA
vor of the veterans of the civil war"
exclaimed Mr.. Roddenbery, comes
at a late hour from the republican
side, when for 16 years, and since the
Spanish war also you have been fill
ing places and making no such pro-
vision for the soldier in your resolu-
tions.
Now, I want to ask you why in
1898, when "a of the capitol police
men were put under the exigencies of
the Spanish war and when these very
places were filled, you did not give
them to old soldiers, and why don't
they hold these jobs now?"
Here it was that Mr.. Langley ex-
plotted his claim that by statute law
the republicans had provided that
preference" should be given to ex-
soldiers and sailors in filling vacan-
cies in all branches of the public SER
vice.
IF the republicans have pursued |
that policy quickly retorted Mr.. |
Roddenbery, then go into the post
office department, go into the treas |
ury department, go into the war de-
partment and see sitting at the desks
there, standing at the doors or filling
other places able-bodied, slick-faced
Africans holding easy jobs which old
and enfeebled veterans deserve. Why |
don't you give them some of those
sitting-down jobs?
las a son of the south, with no lin |
cage that connects me with those
who led the union side fifty years
ago, | want to say that there is not

Mason and Dixon's line time when
Afric's son could displace a Caucas-
ian under either flag. You can no
longer deceive the American people

der to control the peoples votes in
your conventions.

Everything About the New BattIeship
Is ON a StupendOus Scale.

One must think in hundreds, thou
sands and millions in connection with
the new battleships. For instance, it
costs $500 to fire one of the new IA
inch guns one time with full service
charge. The range is ~ miles. It
costs $127,500 to construct one of
these guns. Twenty of them are
now in process of construction. 1t

at about 100 shots. Doesn't that
