Dam Proposition at Davenport.

Davenport, April 10.-There is a
strong probability that the Greater
Davenport committee will have some
thing of interest to announce within
the next few days concerning the long
cherished dream of Davenporters-
the construction Of water power
dam across the Mississippi river. For
some time the committee has been
quietly making inquiries in Chicago
and the east in order to determine the
best possible method of procedure.
The amount of the flow at the Tri-
Cities is three-fourth that at Keokuk
on the basis of their drainage areas.
respectively 10000 square miles and
100000 square miles. The total
amount of power that can be gener.
ated at the Tri-Cities is, therefore,
approximately three-fourths of that
lat Keokuk, or 10000 horse power, on
the basis Of the 100000 horse power
proposed for Keokuk.
