BUILDING BIG DAM
FOR HORSE POWER
IN HARM SSING THE MlSSISSlP.
III RIVER IT Is EXPECTED TO
PRDUCE 100000 HORSE
POWER.

Keokuk. la.-kansas City may,
within another 40 years, be drawing
from the Mississippi River at this
point Thousands of electric horse
power. The huge dam across the riv-
er is being rushed to completion and
the engineers declare that by July 4.
1913, they will be able to turn out
the full horsepower capacity Of the
huge plant is to lie at least three
hundred thousand horsepower,
enough to turn every wheel in a city
five times the size of Kansas City.
Keokuk is only 1870 miles in an
air line from Kansas City and the
engineers say the power can be
wired without too great Il loss to a
distance of ego miles. Already one
st. Louis power company has con-
tracted for sixty thousand horse
power. The capacity of the plant
at the beginning will be one hum
dred and. fifty thousand horsepower.
keokuk itself will consume only an
infinistimal part Of this output. SO
the company mus find a market for

rACKLER OF GREGORY rs THIRD
MAN TO ASK REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION FOR TREAS.
UREH.

Pierre. S. D.-The only new can
lidacy which has been sprung on the
people OF the state for the past week
has been that of ]. VI. Hacker, OF
gregory as a candidate for state
treasurer. This puis three candi-
iates liz the field for that place, in
isorge H. Pinckney, of Milbank; A,
W. Ewart, of Pierre, and the Greg
ny county man.
The namc OF II. p. Packard, OF
3ed6eld has been mentioned as an
ther candidate for congress in the
econd district, but Pack denies
my ambition in that line at the
present time. Under certain condj.
ions he might have gone into the
ace. but as the conditions do not
,onger cSist. he will not make any
move. The home papers at Elan
lreau are intinGating that Railway
Commissioner Gooige Rice will be in
he field in tie first district Yet in
opposition TO Dillon of Yankton anG
8ransou OF Mitchell. However it is
authoritatively stated Rice won't be
a candidate. Then the papers at
Lennon are yet intimating that p.
J. Tscharner will get into the game
in the third district. opening up G
contest between the northern part OF
the district and the Black Hills sec
ton as TO prestige in q compression
way.
And while the republicans are
stirring their political broth. the
democrats are also making an at
tempt at a showing for q ticket
which they hope to build up for the
next campaign. Il. Il. Dowdcll has
announced that he will make the
race for congress in the first district,
and Major C.. Boyd Barrett, OF Alb
erdeen has announced his ambition
for 81 try in the second district. They
have no candidate yet in the open
i'll the third district but there is yet
plenty OF time. The democrats will
hold a meeting some time in Deem
Der, probably at this city and at this
thcy will no doubt line up something
which looks like a ticket to go to
their voters with.

That the men who control the

Is the passage of the Aldrich

Why Teddy Was Doomed.

The Roosevelt denomination
talk, which was more pronounced
during the recent meeting of the
Republican national committee
than at any time since the for
mer president s return from AT
RIGA, has died down again. And
now comes the report that this
talk was started by the old guard
leaders among the committeeman
for the purpose of frightening
Mr.. Taft into allowing them to
have control of the preliminaries
OF the next Republican conven-
ton i'm Chicago. This control
means a big advantage to those
who possess it, for with it goes
the authority to dictate seating
arrangements, admissions, dis
tribution of patronage and com
mlttee assignments; in short, it
means control of the convention
right up to the time of balloting.
The Roosevelt talk, according
to the best information, did not
spring from the friends of the
former president, but from his
enemies. The plan was, by
starting this talk, to discomfort
and divide the Insurgents. Then,
with Mr.. Taft deserted by all
except the southern postmaster
delegates, a deadlock could be
forced which could be broken at
the proper time in favor of a
compromise candidate acceptable
to the old guard leaders.
AS a result of these machinna-
TONS it has been stated, apparent
ly with some show of authority,
that Mr.. Taft is so disguised with
conditions within his party, that
he may withdraw from the race
entirely.
