Spreading His Rep.

The Vincennes Sun continues to
spread the reputation of the sporting
editor of The Bulletin, carrying 1t
beyond the limits of Pulaski county.
Every day he with "Pansy" Green OF
the Capital do some good-natured
roasting, these two being some short
specimens from the Sun:
Now 1t can be anticipated that
Tim Floods press agent while at
home will say the reason that Cairo
didn't win the first game was be-
cause Flood wasn't in the game The
manager got hurt the first time at
bat by being hit by ball and had
to retire
And as Flood was out of the game
there was no umpire batting, for
sooth Conklin umpired two good
games, and no one kicked on either
side, SO the Cairo Bulletin editor
will have to concoct some other kind
of wild-eyed story to give as rea-
son for Cairo's defeat in the first
game. Let's all watch.

Gosncll Must Be Sore.

II Is evident from tho foregoing
hat President Gosnell, owner of the
Vincennes team, of late consistent
loser, is very sore. If he were to
start something, as is being indi-
Gated in the Vincennes dispatch. II
would mean that the entire Kitty
League would be demoralized, as
scarcely a team on the list that has
not fortified itself with players from
other leagues. 1t is harming the
sport. 1t has made playing in the
league twenty per cent faster than
it was earlier in the season, Presi-

1t will be year before the water
is turned in behind the worlds big
gest dam and is allowed to food the
Assouan region in Egypt. The region
is rich in buried antiquities, and be-
fore 1t is submerged archaeologists
the world over are anxious to COM
plete the excavations now under way
there and rescue from the coming
deluge as many treasures as possible.
For this end they are appealing to
the public for funds. The dam will
be of immense advantage to Egypt,
but at considerable archaeological loss
to the world. Recent discoveries
within the doomed area have illumin-
ed many Of history's dark pages, and
it is hoped the appeal of scholars at
this juncture will not fall on deaf
ears.

The keokuk Dam.
IT Rapids Republican

Cedar Rapids Republican: Not
much Is being said in the Iowa news
papers about the dam across the Mis-
sissippi river at Keoku,l, but it is at
tracing the attention of engineering
periodicals all over the world, for it
is to be the biggest hydro electric dam
in the world. 1t involves the building
OF solid concrete dam across the
Mississippi river from Keokuk, Iowa,
to Hamilton, Illinois, distance of al
most mile, the building of an i'm
mense power house and a new lock
and dry dock for the accommodation
of river traffic.
The engineers estimate that the
dam will furnish 100000 horsepower
and some of them believe that feas-
IDLE transmission distance will be 200
miles, which would include the Iowa
cities of Davenport. Dubuque, Gin
ton and even Cedar Rapids and Des
Moines. But it is not likely that tie
two last named cities will ever use
any OF the power, for the transmits
sion cost would be enormous. Never
theless contracts have already been
made with the public service compan-
les of ST. Louis for 10000 horsepower
for period of ninety-nine years.
The huge undertaking is being
financed by the government of the
United States and by the Mississippi
River Power company. The govern
ment secures free of cost a new lock
and dry dock and also a permanent
navigable stage of water for dis
tance of sixty miles north of the dam
This will replace the present canal
and lock system, occupying the Iowa
shore and finished in 1877. The new
lock will be much larger than the
three old ones. The Des Moines rap
ids extend over q length of seven and
half miles of river and 1t is possible
to navigate them only during periods
OF high water, except by the use OF
the present canal and lock system.
The new lock system is designed for
an eight foot channel.
To the state of Iowa the big pro-
ject is Of chief importance because
of the possibilities 1t opens up for
manufacturing. With such an abund-
ance Of power furnished at very
moderate rates, not only will the in
dustries within feasible transmission
distance be able to compete more
successfully with the manufacturers
Of the east, but there is no doubt
that many new Industries will be at.
tracted and thus the manufacturing
output OF the state of Iowa will be
many times multiplied.
1t is expected that the dam will be
completed by 1913 It is interesting
to note that no part OF the work is
being done under the contract sys-
