AT THE NEW DAM.
All Ready For Concrete Work, When
Flood Tears Out Trestle and
Fills Up Excavation With
Mud and Water.

Work was progressing very salts
factorily at the new power dam of
the Upper Iowa Power Co. east of
the city, and everything was in
readiness for the beginning of the
concrete work on Monday, when the
rains of Saturday night caused the
river to rise rapidly Sunday morn
ing, until it almost overflowed it's
banks, thing seldom if ever known
to occur at this time of the year.
The result was that the big exca-
walton which had been made into the
solid rock in the bed of the river, in
which the concrete base of the dam
will be placed, was filled with mud
and water, after it had been put in
condition to receive the concrete. A
large, high trestle had been con-
structed across the river, to be used
in conveying the mixed concrete
from the west bank where it will
be made, out over the excavation,
from whence it will be lowered into
place Part of this was washed away
by the high water, and things were
disarranged generally to a consider
able degree.
A large force of men have been
kept at work, however, cleaning
things up and the water is being
pumped out of the excavation, so
that it is expected that they will be
able to start the concrete work yet
this week, probably on Friday.
The intention is to proceed with
the construction of the dam through
the winter without delay. so as to
complete it as quickly as possible.
The engineer says that the cold
weather will not affect the concrete
in such large work as this. 1t is
expected that the main difficulty will
be to get men to work in the cold
weather, but it is hoped that the
work will not be stopped, and will
be pushed forward to completion as
rapidly as possible.

ST. OLAF VS.. LUTHER.
Old Time Rivals Will Contest For
HOnOrs Here or Next
Monday.

For those who are interested in
athletics a treat is in store. st. Olaf
and Luther will contend for the hon
ors in basket ball on Monday even
ing, Dec. 18th, at the college audi
forum. This is the big game of the
season, and, from all indicay lions,
will be one that everyone will want
to see. st. Olaf, from reports, is
putting up as strong game as usual.
They have played several games this
season and have a quintet of players
that promise to make it interesting
for whoever goes against them.
Luther won her first game this
season from Lenox last Friday, and,
in spite of the fact that it was the
first time Luther's team, as a team,
had gone against an opponent, the
boys put up strong game and dis
played the ability to get in some nice
team work. With the practicing that
is being done every day Luther's
team Will be In the best possible
condition for the game on Monday.
In addition to the basket ball
game. Manager Wollan has arranged
to have several members of the turn
ing club perform few stunts" on
the mats, parallel bars, ETC., between
halves, so that the time which usual
ly seems rather long and tiresome,
will be taken up in an interesting
manner, assuring those who come
out to see the game, full evenings
enjoyable entertainment. Everyone
knows that it means real basket ball
when st. Olaf and Luther meet.
Don't miss it!

WILL HAVE ANOTHER SHOW.
Horticultural Society Votes to Hold
Exposition Again Next
Year.

The annual meeting of the Whine.
shiek County Horticultural Society
was held on Saturday afternoon al
the court house. The election OF
officers resulted in the reelection OF
all the old officers for the ensuing
year, as follows:
Presidential. Brakeman.
Vice Pres.-John Harter.
Secretary-O. o. Lomen.
Treasurer. Broghamer.
After discussing the matter the
society voted to give another expo
sition of Winneshiek county crops
next year. The show this year was
a revelation to those who attended,
in the magnificent display of the
produce of the county, in the lessons
it taught to all who inspected it, and
in the showing of what can be pro-
duced on our land. While it was
seen by but very few farmers, it is
believed that they will see the ad-
vantage to be gained by such an
exposition, and next year Will attend
in much greater numbers.
The society extended a vote of
thanks to the people of DEBORAH gen.
orally for their liberal support, to
the business men for the special
prizes, the musical organizations
who assisted, and to everyone who
contributed to its success.

PASSING OF A PIONEER.
Edward Vine, Resident of Winnie
shiek County Since 1858, Goes
to His Reward.

A man well known in the southern
half of the county, resident of Cal
mar township since 1858 and of De-
corah the past five years, Mr.. Ed
ward Vine, passed into the Great
Beyond on Thursday evening, after
an illness of nearly five months,
aged 10 years.
Edward Vine, native of Lincoln
shire, England, was born May %,
1882 and came to America in 1856,
remaining in New York two years,
and then coming to Winneshiek
county, in the spring of 1858, in
company with Henry Wheatman. He
worked some time for Judge Reed,
and helped make the first brick made
here. Two years later he moved on
where he lived until he retired and
came to DEBORAH five years ago, liv-
ing on Mill street, where his death
occurred. Jan. 10, 1863 he was
united in marriage to Miss Margaret
Riley, and two children were born
to this union, George and Lizzie, the
latter preceding him in death. His
wife and son George remain.
Some nineteen months ago he had
the misfortune to sustain a broken
hip, which has detained him to the
house ever since, death finally re-
sulting from Brights disease.
The funeral services were held
from the home Sunday afternoon at
1870 o'clock, Rev. DR.. NJ. Wiilett
officiating, with interment in Phelps
cemetery.
Mr.. Vine had many friends who
will miss his familiar form. He was
honorable and conscientious in his
dealings and will be kindly remem-
bered by everyone.

Speaking Well of the Dead.

Speak well of the dead" is a
custom and a rule that even the
most fastidious newspapers try to
follow, though at times a man dies
whose record warrants something
like the following which appeared a
short time ago in the Sullivan coun-
ty, N. Y. Review, concerning a char
acter in town:
Sam Lobdell is dead. Some days
ago he was stricken with poisoning
from a wound in the neck while
fighting with his wife when he was
drunk.
Sam was an unique character.
Only once in generation is a COM
munity pestered with such a human
viper. He was the unsolved conun-
drum, What is he good for?'
Booze fighter, liar, wife beaten,
chicken thief. egg stealer, profane
and vile of speech to the point of
nausea, he was the trademark of sin,
the emblem of vice. with no crime
beyond his capacity. But he has
gone hence, and it is never our in
clination to kick man when he is
down.
Yet at death his proverbial luck
was with him. He goes below just
as the whitening frost and the chill
ing winds are ushering in long and
tedious season."

THE FEDERAL POST OFFICE.
Exterior is Nearly Completed and
Work Progressing Rapidly on
the Interior. Ready For
Occupancy Soon.

We don't intend to occupy space
every week with a description of the
progress of the work on the new
federal post Office building, but it is
going to be such handsome struc-
ture and such an adornment to the
city, that we just can't help noting
the new things that are being done.
No one who has watched its progress
will question the permanency of the
work, or it's adaptability to the needs
of the case. Everything that is done
is of the very highest standard, and
the best possible character of work
manship and materials. The exterior
is about completed, the windows
having been installed, the curbing
and concrete walks put down, the
driveway on the east side filled with
crushed rock, the entrances, the
grading and filling of the lawn, and
every detail receiving the closest
supervision. Inside the plastering is
about finished, and the iron fixtures
are commencing to arrive. Mr.. KEEL
ly has commenced the decorating,
and every portion of the work is be-
ing pushed as fast as good work and
conditions permit. 1t will not be
long before Decorah's postmaster
will be occupying the only federal
post office building in northeas tern
Iowa, and the handsomest and most
convenient in the state of Iowa, in
our opinion, all things considered.

DISASTER AVERTED
At THE MACKAY DAM
New Spillway Provides Needed
Outlet and Vindicates Wis

Special 10 The Tribune.


MACKAY. June 1O,-Two thousand
cubic feet of water per second or nearly
twice as much as is carried of by the
valves, the only outlet for the water be-
fore the spillway was built, Is now pass
ing over the dam in the spillway built
by the state. The splllway was obtained
at the earnest request OF the Mackay
Miner. backed by the Mackay and Lost
river citizens. A bill which Senator Mac:
beth introduced and had passed in the
last session of the legislature provided for
this Improvement.
with three or four days last week Lost
river began rising at rapid rate and
by Sunday IL was evident that the valves
in the Mackay dam. which it was claimed
the water that ever comes down Lost
river, would not be equal to the emer-
gency. all the valves were wide open
and the water raised in the reservoir at
the rate OF a foot a day for several days,
On Monday at IL o'clock the water had
reached the level of the spillway and be-
gan flowing over the structure. in small
stream at first. which gradually swelled
until on Tuesday night. when the high
bank on the upper toe OF the dam gave

second Of water. which taxed the ca
water in the reservoir more than a foot.
Cold weather set In the first part Of the
week and the flood waters subsidized. but

spillway-
The spillway appears TO be holding we'll
and II the valves and the spillway are
not called upon TO handle more than 1900
cubic feet per second all Will be we'll.
Many predict that over 5000 cubic feet
of water may be expected this month es-
pecially If a full week OF continued warm
weather should occur, In which event the
capacity OF the spillway and the outlet
tunnel would be overtaXed.
The citizens of Mackay and Center
county's representatives in the legisla-
ture waged a hard fight for the construc-
ton OF this spillway over the gravel dam.
and were accused OF playing politics, etc.
Engineers and others stated that there
was no need for a spillway, that to build
IL at the states expense would be a
waste OF money. as there would never be
a drop of water run over one IL II was
built. Some were going 10 drink all the
water that went over and others ridi-
culed the proposition as preposterous but
the fight for the spillway was won and it
was built. and now, with the high water
just beginning to come down, there Is
about 1000 cubic feet passing over the
cribbing and dropping down TO the old
channel of Lost river, Undoubtedly dis
