thousands Of pupils throughout the
country will read and study abont
keokuk's great mile-wide dam across
the Mississippi river here In a new
geography which has just been pub
ilshed. the first copy OF which was
received in this city yesterday. The
geography Is known as TAR and Muir
rays Second Book.
Because of the hydro-electric dam
keokuk is given twice as much space
In the Iowa chapter as Dubuque, three
times as much as Des Moines and
about six times as much as any of the
other cities A copy OF the study of
Keokuk follows:
Keokuk G4,00sl, or the Gate City
of Iowa, is located in Lee county, at
the junction of the Mississippi and
/ Des Moines rivers. Because Of the
Des Moines rapids in the Mississippi
at Keokuk, a canal seven and half
miles long has been built, so that
boats may pass in safety.
There is now being built across the
Mississippi at this point a dam that
is attracting the attention OF engineer
ing periodicals all over the world, for
this Is to be the biggest hydro-elec-
trio dam in the world 1t is to be
built of solid concrete. and will ex-
tend from Keokuk to Hamilton. Hi
nois, distance of about mile In
connection with the building of the
dam, an immense power house and a
new lock and dry dock will be built.
The new dam and lock will replace
the old canal and lock The Des
Moines rapids extend over length
of seven miles of the river and it is
possible to navigate them only during
periods of nigh water except by the
use of the present canal and lock
The new dam will provide an eight
1 foot channel in the stream
Expert engineers estimate that the
dam will furnish 100000 horse power
and some of them think that it vii
be possible to transmit power a dis
lance of 200 miles, which would in
clude such cities as Davenport, Du
buque, Clinton, Cedar Rapids. ant
possibly Des Moines. A contract ha;
already been made with St Louis t.
furnish $4,000 horse power for a per
iod of 80 years.
THE big project is OF Importance t
the state of Iowa because of the pos
sibilities it opens up for manufactur
ing. With such cheap power, not onl.
will the industries within transmits
sion possibilities be able to compete
more successfully with eastern indus
tries, but no doubt many new one
will be attracted, and thus the manu-
featuring output of Iowa will be IN
creased many fold.
THE dam is being built by tn
/ United States government and tn
| Mississippi River Power company. AM
is to be completed by 1913.
Because of the abundant waite
mower. there Is important manufat
turing of lumber, starch, pickles an
canned goods, agricultural implf
ments, machinery, shoes and elotf

WAGES Of W00DSMEN
ARE AGAIN REDUCED
Law Of Supply and Demands Hits
Men Who Work in the
Woods.
Price Of Lumber, However, Still
Clings to the Same Old
Monopoly Figure.

Wages in the lumber woods of Min
nesota have taken another slump.
Woodsmen who a few weeks ago
were receiving&fro SIG to $40 a
month are nowrsgetting from $22 to
$26. .~7} &"e'%s1 -
The scale of wages is said to have
dropped because of the sudden cold
weather which is said to be RESPONSE
BILE for the throwing of hundreds of
men. out of work.
These men looked naturally to the
woods for employment and the large
rush to the lumber camps and the
plentiful supply Of labor helped to re-
duce the wages. -
The boats are being laid up leaving
several hundred men in the city with
out work for the winter months. Rail-
road contracts are easing up and this
brings several hundred more.
Up to this week very fair wages
have been offered for woodsmen, but
just at this time they are perhaps the
lowest offered in some months.
1t is expected that later in the sea-
son when the operations are in full
swing, many more men will be needed
and at that time the wages will come
up with rush.
Those in touch with logging opera.
lions say that this year the companie.
are planning on getting out a great
deal of timber. Many of the con.
Germs, it is stated, will finish up thei1
operations this season.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 7.-While on
their way from the Central Labor hall
a few nights ago Resin Orr, treas
urer of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric railway men,
and John j. Scannell. organizer Of
the Boot and Shoe Workers union,
were assaulted by three thugs alleged
to be in the employ of the local trac-
ton company.
: Resin Orr was struck with ''bil-
ly," so the attending physician claims,
and the sight of one of his eyes has
beeen permanently destroyed. Scan
nell was knocked down and kicked,
but his injuries are not considered
serious.
Fortunately one of the sluggers was
caught, and on preliminary hearing
was bound over in the sum of $1,000.
Orr has been organizing the men
employed by the traction company
and the company, as usual, is pursu-
ing the tactics commonly employed by
street railway companies to thwart
organization of their employees.

MINIMUM SALARY FOR
MINISTERS IS URGED
Action of Minnesota Ministers in
Duluth Convention Widely
Discussed.
Preachers in Other States Take
Up Idea Of Fixing Minimum
Salary For Services.

Following the action of the Bap-
fist ministers Of Minnesota, who,
when assembled in Duluth for their
last annual convention, went on rec
ord for a minimum wage scale of
800 for unmarried and $500 for
married ministers, much discussion
has been occasioned In other states
relative to the feasibility of its gen.
eral adoption.
In Wisconsin. particularly, there
has been much favorable comment
throughout the state, it being gem
orally recognized that many OF the
pastors have not been sufficiently
remunerated for the services.
It is known that in Wisconsin al
in other states. the ministers are
strongly inclined to form unions ana
thus control to certain extent their
remuneration. +. ss5s KS
1t is q lamentable fact that min
listers throughout the country are
poorly paid. Minnesota ministers
took the matter Into their own hands
on the occasion Of their last annual
convention and they. are to be com-
mended upon their action.
Strong unions among the ministers
will help the general union cause
greatly. Il Ssss.. 5s
