GLEN KIMBALL TO
4 GET SENATORSHIP
Pottawattamie Supervisors Correct
Election Returns on Representa-
tive and Name Republican.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 22.-The board
of supervisors, resuming their session
as canvassers of election returns after
three.day recess, decided to permit
the correction of errors that have
been discovered in the official election
returns from three precincts in the
city-the first of the first, the second
of the fourth and the first Of the
sixth. -..E
This action means that Glenn F.
Kimball will receive certificate OF
election as state senator instead Of
Mack C. Goodwin, his democratic op'
ponent. There is possibility, how
ever, that injunction proceedings will
be instituted by the democrats, and
If such steps are taken the court will
be called upon to decide whether or
Aot the board of supervisors exceeded
its power in authorizing the correc-
tons
Last week the supervisors ad-
dressed letter to the four district
Judges asking for definition of their
powers in correcting returns, but the
Judges declined to express an opinion.
A reply was received by the board on
Tuesday in which it was pointed out
that the judges could not rule on the
case unless it was brought to their
attention as a court action.

ON YOUR PIANO

Keokuk, Nov 22.-There are mum.
Der Of curious engineering propositions
in connection with the Keokuk power
dam that are perplexing to the lay
mind. Here are two or three with
which readers can wrestle. The dam
when completed will form level lake
that will extend from Keokuk up river
to a point several miles above Bur
lington, at a normal stage of water
Here are the points that puzzle many
people:
1. During high water or low water
this lake will maintain the same alti.
tude.
2. When the flood waters come and
the river is at it's highest stage, the
level lake will be shorter, and conse
quently less In area. ,
3. When the drouth reduces the
stage of water in the river, the lake
will be longer; that Is, 1t will be
larger. 49,.
4. When the water in the river is
high, the dam will have less power
5. When there is low stage OF
water in the river, the dam will de.
velop more power. Now figure it out
