temperatures in the central valleys,

panied by much cooler weather, pre-.
vail over western Canada and Mon

TO CEDE DRY DOCK
AND LOCK TO US.
One of the Ceremonies to Mark
the Dedication of Keokuk
Power Dam Aug. 26.

One of the interesting ceremonies
here in connection with the dedica-
tion of the Keokuk- Hamilton water
power, August 26, when state and ma
tional officers will assemble, will be
the ceding to the government of the
big dry dock and lock.
Some idea of the size of the govern
ment lock in connection with the Mis-
sissippi power development may be
gained by Rock Island people when
they stop to consider that two of the
largest river steamers, the G. w. Hill
of the Wisherd line and the st. Paul
of the Streckfus line, have been taken
through at the same time, with plenty
of room to spare.
The lock at Keokuk is larger in
some respects than those at the Pan
ANA canal. 1t is fully as wide and has
a greater lift than any on the Isthmus.
One of the features of the Mississippi
Valley Power Boat association regatta
at Keokuk, Aug. 26, 27 and 2Sth will
be moonlight excursions through the
| locks. The championship racing events
| will be held just above the locks.
The big lock is 110 feet wide, with
40-foot lift. The walls are 50 feet
| inches high and the walls are to 33
feet thick. The lock is 400 feet long
inside and 61S feet long outside. The
depth on the sill is feet and the gate
span lis feet with steel trusses pivot
ed with hardened steel on bronze. The
gates are moved by compressed all
generated by the water flow itself
Lockage of steamer requires from
10 10 Is minutes and steamers are
saved from two hours up, between
Keokuk and Montrose, over the ole
route, which made it necessary Il
pass through three locks.
Adjoining the lock is the larges
dry dock on fresh water, being $50 By
463 feet. Like the lock, the dry dock
with power to operate it perpetually
is to be ceded to the federal govern
ment by the power company.

Most of the appropriations made up
to date have contributed directly or
indirectly to a clearer knowledge of
colored schools. Gifts to the Univers-
tiles Of Virginia and Georgia and to
the Peabody college in Nashville are
for the maintenance of fellowships
and research work in the field of
negro education. A number of smaller
sums have also been given for related
purposes.
The cooperation of the bureau of
education and the Phelps-Stokes fund
is the result of the close relationship
of the representatives of the Slater
board. the conference for education
in the south, and the trustees of the
Phelp--Stokes fund, with each other
and with Commissioner Claxton
Through this cooperation unnecessary
duplication is avoided and time, eff
fort and money are saved.
The work is cone under the imme
diate direction of DR.. Thomas Jesse
Jones, native of Wales and a natur
allied citizen of the United States
who was educated both in southern
and northorn institutions, and has
devoted number of years to the edu
cational and economic condition OF
the negroes in the United States. Hi.
studies and observations, extending
over several years in the census bur
eau and In the United States bureau
of education, will be especially usefu
in this study of schools. An exhaus
tive schedule of questions In regard
to the schools has been prepared will
much care and is being filled by DR.
Jones and those associated with him
after careful investigation of tn,
schools made by them. These ques
uons relate to the history of th
schools, their present condition, thei
management, their religious and socia
activities, and the work of graduate
and former students Attention vii
also be given to the relation of tn
schools to their communities.
i When sufficient data has been col
lected report will be printed an
published giving a brief but accurat
survey of each school, of its eouit
ment, its work, and its place in tn
educational system of the city, cour
ty or state in which it is located.

Southern Senators Hold Up First
Appointment Made BY Pres
ident Wilson.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The
nomination of Charles P. Neil, to be
commissioner of labor to succeed him:
self, which is now before the Senate
for confirmation, is meeting with
much opposition from southern sem
ators.
They base their opposition upon
the matter contai ned in his report
upon the conditions of employment
and the wages paid women and child
workers in some of the southern
states.
1t will be remembered that upon
the publication of this report some of
the southern senators took umbrage
at it and endeavored to get the SEN
ate to authorize another Investigation
but failed.
The nomination of DR.. Neil has
been referred to the Committee on
Education and Labor and the hostile
senators have given notice that they
desire to be heard before the COM
mlttee makes any Recommendation.

Says UNION LABOR
HURTS RAILROADS
Queer Argument Advanced By
James o. Pagan, Claiming
To Be Switchman.

WASHINGTON. March 2o.-A So
called lecturer named James o. Fa-
gan. who claims to have been a. switch
man, is reported to have delivered
lecture in Boston recently in which
he said that the Labor leaders are
running the railroads, and that they
have society on the run unless the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
called in
In addition, he says that when the
F'1remen's union wants two men to do
the work that is now done by one, in
order to increase it's membership, it
gets the men, and it costs the railroad
more money, and also that the Bro
therhoods are steadily undermining
the railroad service, while the politi-
clans undermine the railroads.
It might be observed that Fagan
isn't switching" any more-but he's
working for the railroads just. the
same.
