eminent, but they will conserve to
other uses millions upon millions OF
tons of coal. This colossal plant will
give st. Louis light and power cheaper
than they can be produced in st.
Louis, and that after CARRYING the
power one hundred and seventy miles.
It brings the power of the river right

situations, not only here, but all along
the line of wires between the towns
The building OF the dam involves the
constructing company's giving to the
government gigantic lock to accom-.
modate vessels drawing eight feet OF
water at the lowest stage of the riv-
er. 1t cannot be said that this enor-
nous water power right is given to
the Mississippi River Power Company
without adequate compensation
Though the works be at Keokuk, they
would not have been in existence at
all but for the st. Louis interests in
the Union Electric Light Company
and the United Railways, which
signed contracts before the work was
begun, to take 10000 horsepower. Co
ing over the work suggested Panama
and the great Assouan dam on the
Nile, and when the now restrained
floods are released, the great power
house, one-third of a mile long, will
suggest the temple Of Philae rising
from the Nilotic wash of waters that
are retaining Egypt to agriculture
on a vast scale. The thought inevitab-
ly comes as one views the operations
that such dams and for such uses at
other points along the river would ma
terially diminish the now SEEMINGLY
forhidding cost Of deepening the
stream so as to permit ships from the
Panama canal to come as far as st.
Louis and even farther.

most entertainingly about the big Keo.

Louis Mirror. Mr.. Reedy was one Of
the guests of Mr.. Einstein, general
manager of the Union Electric Light
Co.. who brought. $50 manufacturers
to this city to inspect the water pow

to the Mirror as follows:
As the guest of Mr.. A. C. Einstein,
vice president and general manager OF
the Union Electric Light Company, /,
with one hundred and twenty-five
other st. Louisians, went to Keokuk,
last Saturday to see the great dam
and power house now almost COM
pletely constructed there, for the pur.
pose of Harvesting the Mississippi

the service of man in the central val

here abouts should go to Panama to
learn the mystery and majesty OF a
great piece of engineering. The

Mrs. Elizabeth Ayers and daughter
Mrs. Phillip Eaton of Decatur are
here visiting relatives and friends.
Warsaw Cubs were victors in the
ball game with the Quincy Reserves
Sunday afternoon, the score being s
to 2. This was the deciding game be
tween the two clubs, each having two
games to their credit. The Cubs have
played twenty seven games this sea
son and out of these have only lost
five, a fine record for a team that
made no pretensions of claiming hon
ors of any kind.

The Man Behind Il.

But, inspiring as is the work, the
man behind it, the man in whose
brain it was born, is even more so.
That man is Hugh L. Cooper, short,
stocky person. with head that is
plainly big enough to contain such a
project, the face of a poet and humor-
list, and smile like Mr.. Bryan's. The
dam is his idea. Into 1t he has put all

some lovingness as OF his child. Not
only did he conceive the undertaking;

He declares that his government is inccnscd because tf the many cases which have been reported, and fast patrol has been ordered to report immediate ly for duty along the Siberian coast, and 10 seize any trading boats which persist in giving li-: GuOr tO the natives. Many small craft have Outflttcd here for the Russian trade since the opening of navigation, and inasmuch. as nearly all of these carried large supply of hootch, it will be no sur prise if some of them get into trouble with the authorities.

LOWERKUSKOKW|M .. SHOWS ACTIVITY.
After Many Years of Waiting tho Lower kuskokwim Is Coming
 Into It's Own

Tn" outlook on the lower Kus- knkwim is certainly a bright one. if present activity in that region counts for anything. Not only is freight moving in large Guanti- ties, but passengers from the out side are making for Bethel in con siderable numbers.
 Deputy Marhal Krlday. who ar rived from Georgetown the first of the week, with nativ. and nth- CT witnesses subpoenacd in tn" Nelson murders cases, informs the IditarOd Pioneer that many passengers have already arrived at Bethel for the Aniak. and ulh- CTS used the Kuskokwin route as tn" most direct means of reach ing the Innukn digginrS

"Thcrc are spots at the head or Beaver creek, and perhaps occasional spots al other places, where q few part ,nerships might fake out a little money; but taking the Tuluksak |all through it is a low grade prop 'osition. which can only be work ed with the aid of machinery and on a large scale"
