DAM WORK STOPPED.
Power Company at keokuk idie-cof-
fer Dam ard Machinery Submerged.

fer Dam ard Machinery Submerged.
keokuk. Feb. 2o.-Work on the big
dam project here is practically at a
standstill, except such as is being done
as precautionary measure, on account
of the rapid rise of the Mississippi
river, which is almost withopt prece-
dent at this time of year. The river
is full of floating ice, loosened by the
upheaval and debris of all kinds Is
floating down.
No damage has been done in the VII
cinity Of keokuk. and it is not likely
that there will be. It is the opinion Of
government and river men that the
rise has about spent itself and that the
waters will begin to subside soon un-
less there is a further rainfall and snow
in the up river regions.
The principal sufferers are the wa
ter power company. The water is over
the cofferdam on the other side Of the
river. and the place where some of the
concreting work was being carried on
is ten feet under water. The steam
shovel is partly submerged and the
pumps art almost out of sight.
Concreting on the waters edge that
has been going on for some weeks is
impossible and until the river falls q
little. work there will not be resumed.
The work on the power house cof-
ferdam on this side has also stopped
on account of the high water. Attic
there will be some delay in the work
on both sides of the river, there he's
been no damage done 10 what has al
ready been accomplished, and no last
ing damage to the machinery has re.
suited.

sion, is not surprising. 1t is In favor
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The Payne tariff law increased the
duty on imported lemons. This was
done ostensibly to help the lemon
growers of California. But as soon as
the new tartff rates went into effect
the Southern Pacific increased freight
rates on lemons and the additional
rate was exactly equal to the increas-
ed import duty, The lemon growers
appealed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission and secured decision
ordering the railroad company to re-
store the old rates. The company ap-
pealed TO the Court Of Commerce,
which has reversed the ruling Of the
Commission.
The lemon growers do not deserve
any sympathy. In the hope and OK.
pectation Of securing power to plum
der American lemon consumers, they
demanded from Congress the in
creased import duty. When the
Southern Pacific snatched the loot
from them they howled and fought.
The lemon consumers, bound to be.
robbed in any event. have no cause
to be anything more than disinterest-
ed spectators of the fight for the
spoils. Thanks to the Southern Paci-
fee Railroad and Mr.. Taft's Court Of
Commerce, another object lesson. has
been furnished Of the great truth that
protection is fraud as well as e.
