Natural Advantages.

The construction OF the dam should
not involve engineering problems of
a difficult nature. The river bottom
at the dam site is Of good rock and
is clean and level. During the period
of construction the depth OF water
should not exceed feet for eight
months of the year. There are ample
deposits of sand of excellent quality
for concrete. and rock can be obtained
in the bluffs at the end of the dam.

SOME ACCURATE
STATISTICAL DATA
Continued from page s.


above is situated in the natural
transportation centre of the continent
where Waterways and the great rail-
road systems are available. At Keo-
kuk are four railroads and the com
peting Mississippi Iowa on one SIDE.
Illinois on the other. are crossed by
steam roads, the combined mileage OF
which is nearly $4,000 miles, or ~
per cent of the total steam railroad
mileage of the whole United States.
These facts are important in con-
nection with the westward movement
oil the national centres Of population,
manufacture and Iarm values. The
probability that this large hydro
electric development will attract in
dustries to localities where this water
power is available, is very strong No
other water power of any consider
able size is available in this territory.
The steam power developed in the
market-territory is today in excess of
the full capacity of the proposed de-
yelopment OF the Mississippi River
Power Company, and future growth OF
power necessities in this market, now
OF over 100000 people, will enable
the Company to select the best busi-
ness.
The initial development, with the
exception of machine and line capac-
ity, is sufficient for a total develop
ment of appre ximately 100000 horse
power. When the 100000 horse pow
er is sold, it will be possible to add
about $4,000 horse power additional
capacity at a very low cost per horse
power. The income from this addi-
tional power will very materially in
crease the net earnings, but we have
not attempted to estimate the exact
net, as it depends largely upon the
character and location Of the addition
al business and the cost of maintain
ing steam reserve, portion of which
is provided by the st. Louis con-
tracts. We believe that the final bal
ance of earnings after the full de-
veolpment is completed should be from
100000 to $75o.O00 in excess of the
figures above given, so that ultimately
earnings OF approximately $1,600,000
over and above interest and preferred
stock dividends may be expected.

GERMANS DEFEAT INSURGENTS.
Five of Former Killed in Skirmish in
Caroline islands.

Berlin, Germany. The government
publishes a lengthy report concerning
the rising of natives in Ponate, Caro-
line islands. The present report has
TO do with the more recent operations
in that island, where several months
ago four Europeans and five friendly
natives were killed.
On Jan. "a, according TO the latest
report, marines from the cruisers at
tackled a fortified position of the insur-
gents on a lofty cliff. They routed and
dispersed the enemy, small bands,
however, making their escape to other
parts of the island.
The Germans lost five killed, includ-
ing one lieutenant and seven wounded.
Since the engagement many insur-
gents, including six ring leaders, have
come in and surrendered, owing to
hunger.
Detachments of the troops are
securing the island in the expectation
of capturing the others. 1t is further
announced that the operations are
nearly completed.
