BIG DAM AT KE0KUK, a.,
Is OPENED TO BUSINESS
$27,ooo,ooo Project Is Dedicated-IIIl-
nois, Iowa and Missouri to Benefit
by Electricity.

keokuk, Ia, Aug. 25.-A 1900, OOO
water power dam, the largest in the
world, was dedicated here. The cele-
bration opened with governors day,
which executives en- route to the gov
ernors' conference at Colorado Springs
attended. The construction of the
dam was supervised by army engi-
neers
Inc tofal quantity of concrete in
this work is almost exactly equal to
the masonry in the great Pyramid of
Cheops.
This water power development in
the very center of the Mississippi
Valley, where the states of Iowa. Illi-
nois and Missouri join, is the result
OF hard work for forty years by the
people thereabouts, who finally were
successful in inducing capital to at
tempt the work after congress passed
the franchise act, which president
Roosevelt signed.
Deep water navigation Is now made
possible for sixty-five miles up tie
Mississippi. including stretch of
river hitherto impossible except
through a government canal with
three locks. which cost $4,000 to CD
crate and is rendered unnecessary by
the lock and the lake above the dam.
The dam is three times as large as
the next largest single installation of
water wheels in the world. 1t COM
prises thirty turbines and electric
generators which produce a total of
over $4,000 horse power on the shaft

Washington, Dec. 30.-Democratic
leaders are slowing a disposition to
hasten the fulf lment of the pledges
in the party's national platform for
the establishment of an independent
government in the Philippine islands.
As soon as congress reconvenes aft
er the holidays those who are agitat-
ing the question will try to get action
in the house on the Jones bill, which
provides for the establishment of a
qualified Independent government at
Manila.
Those pushing the bill, however,
have no thought that, if passed by the
house, the measure will make any
Roadway in the present senate. The
hope of those who are backing the
movement is that congress will give
the subject consideration again at the
special session which President-elect
Wilson will call.
With an overwhelming Democratic
majority in the house the sponsors for
the bill expect little difficulty in that
