bluff on either side of the river seven
Fights of mile apart. Including
abutments, it is 4,56S feet long. 1t is
entirely of massive concrete without
reinforcement, and being locked into
the rock bed of the stream by pot

feet and its base is forty-two feet

Wide interest in Subject.

The Smithsonian Institution, at
Washington, takes an interest in this
project, from scientific standpoint,
and in its forthcoming annual report
will publish very interesting article
on the subject. Therein is expressed
q belief that the huge plant at Keokuk
will prove to be Of immense industrial
Importance. Established in region
heretofore unsupplied with hydrogen
Grated electric power, it will be able
to furnish such power at relatively
low price. An incidental result ex-
pected is that manuf 4cturers needing
large amounts of electric power will
be attracted to that locality in years
to come.
The site of the dam and hydro-elec-
trio plant as glance at the map will
show, is at point where the three

lac miles froll ST Louis, and 220
miles from Chicago Here are found
the Des Mones rapids, which have al
ways been an obstacle to the naviga-
ton of the Mississippi. They extend
from Keokuk to Montrose-a distance
of about eleven miles. But the river
! at Keokuk cannot properly be called
turbulent Its waters are not hurled
over hidden powders and irregular
masses of rock with the speed of a
Niagara. On the contrary, the stream

mile wide at ordinary low water and
about a mile wide at food. It's aver
age depth is only five or six feet, and
Its bottom is bed of very solid blue

metal sounding rod can hear the cleal

The following article which appear
ed in the Washington, D. c., Herald
of November 10, was sent to The Gate
City by Congressman c. A. Kennedy:
Old MISSISSIPPI is to be harnessed at
last. The greatest river in the world
has been idle long enough, and will
soon be set to work for the production
OF electric POWER on an immense scale.
With this idea in view, a dam is be-
ing thrown clear across the mighty
stream between Keokuk, Iowa, and
Hamilton, ILL., 1t will be the longcs.
bank-to-bank river dam in the world,
with the sole exception of the irriga-
ton structure across the Nile, at
Assouan. The water which it i'm
pounds will eventually form vast
lake, about forty miles long and from
three to five miles wide, thereby
changing the topography OF the region
to very striking extent.
The hydroelectric plant at the dam
site will be one of the greatest ever
built, its capacity being more than
100000 delivered horsepower. A large
part of the electricity produced will
be transmitted to the city of st. Louis.
where public service corporations have
already contracted for no less than
GO, 700 horsepower The transmission
line will run from Keokuk, along the
east bank of the river about 140 miles,
to point just outside of St. Louis c d
will consist of steel towers carrying
two circuits.
1t is, however, easy enough to real
ize what vast industrial and other
changes will be M de over a large part
of the Mississippi valley by the pro-
duction of relatively cheap electricity
on such a scale. Ii one leg of pair
of compas5es be placed at the point
on map where the city of Keokuk
stands, and the other Ter so adjusted
as to mark a circle with radius of
$50 miles, it will be seen that within
this area are scores of towns. great
and small, whlvl can find plenty of use
for the all-compelling "iuice"-not
only for manufacturing, but also for
lighting and trolleys. The distance to
which electricity can be transmitted
economically is being rapidly length
ened, and already in the city of SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, the street railroads are
run from Niagara Falls, nearly 200
miles away.

HUGE Power House.

On top of this substructure is to be
placed a superstructure OF brick and
steel which will contain the electric
generators, transformers, and switch
boards. The height of the power
house from foundation to roof will be
133 feet. From it will run wall OF
concrete. built upstream, and curving
to junction with the shore This
wall, over half mile long, will be
designed as an ice fender, for pro-
lection against legs and floating ice,
Below the surface of the river it will
have archeo openings, through which
the water will find its way to the
power house.
The United States government built
in 1877. and has since maintained as
an aid to navigation, a drydock, a
canal and a series of three locks, ex-
tending along the Iowa shore from
keokuk to point below Fort Madi-
soma distance of eleven and half
miles. These made feasible the only
practicable river traffic between points
above and below the rapids, But the
artificial lake created by the new dam
viii submerge the old canal and locks,
and SO the company engaged in max
ing the hydro-electric improvements
at Keolluk has been required by the
government to construct lock and
dry dock which will conveniently and
safely accommodate the present and
prospective commerce OF the Missis-
sippi river, while affording ample IA
cilities for the repair OF vessels. In
cidentally it is demanded that suit
able fishways shall be provided, v
which fishes may pass up and down
the stream.
| The project now being carried out,
While utilizing for power purposes the
entire energy of the Des Moines rap
I ids, will transform navigation perhaps
as difficult as anywhere along the Mis-
sissippi into comparatively safe and
| convenient travelling. 1t is estimated
/ by the engineers in charge of the work
I that the minimum amount OF water
passing Keokuk at the season when
| the river is lowest is certainly not
less than 10000 cubic feet per second.
Probably it is quite bit more than
that. There is to be only single
lock under the new arrangement, and,
! in addition to building this lock and
the drydock, the company has agreed
to carry out certain improvements in
channel facilities Immediately below
the dam. The lock will be of concrete
I and steel, 400 feet long from gate to
