scHooLHousEs BY PARCEL
POST

Sending cardboard models of school
houses by parcel post is the latest de-
vice of the United States bureau of
education for arousing interest in at
tractve school buildings at low cost
for rural communities. The models
are made to fold flat and are shipped
by mail to local authorities, normal
schools, and other agencies, for use
during limited period. A number
have already been sent to points in
the west and southwest.
Models for one, two, and four-rooul
schools are provided The buildings
are planned especially for rural com
munities where low cost is the first
essential They represent the very
latest ideas in school architecture:
they are usually attractive to look at
they are UP to the minute in hygienic
arrangements; yet they are within
the means of the smallest commun-
tiles.
The buildings were designed by DIR.
F. 3. Dresslar, specialist in school
hygiene of the bureau of education,
and then worked over by two well
known firms of school architects,
Cooper & Bailey, of Boston, and w.
3. Ittner, of ST Louis. The models
show all the details, within and with
out, and they are constructed to scale
Full directions accompany them
1t is believed that these models
will be of great assistance to school
authorities in small rural commun-
tiles who can not afford to engage a
school architect. yet are ambitious to
have their school house up-to-date in
every particular. With one of these
models to work from, DR.. Dresslar
asserts, any carpenter will be able to
build a school house for his district
that will meet every modern require
ment.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
Sne's an algebraic wonder. all hel
leisure time she spends
Solving problems In equation that
are at her fingers ends.
In the higher mathematics she has
gained a college fame,
Where her geometric genius added
luster to her name.
She's up on trigonometry and figures
are her fortes,
For she even knows the age of Ann,
according to reports;
But when playing off rubber, it's a
pipe she'll never miss
Gurgling sweetly to her partner an
inspiration like this:
Yes indeed. just doe on bridge
it's such scientific game! Let's
see-what's trumps?"
She has read leading authors, and her
dictum is SO choice,
She can rattle reams from Browning
in a cultivated voice,
Never platitude she utters, she's orig
inal and bright,
3 And she scorns to use expressions
that are familiar or trite
But we'll bet some evening she'll be
gazing at the moon,
With chap, humming marches that
are popular in June,
And he'll ask a single question as she
slips her hand in his,
And she'll whisper in his waist coat
some unique reply like this:
l'Oh, John, this is SO student"
She is versed in many languages,
from Dutch to Corsican;
She can quote dozen poets in the
tongue of quaint Japan;
She excells in French and Spanish
and 1t has been said
She knows all rules of grammar In
languages long dead:
But the day is some time coming
when she'll prattle quite off
hand
In tongue so weird and complex
that no man can understand
She'll be talking to a bundle twixt
rapturous squeeze and kiss
And her line of conversation will
most likely run like this:
"Dodblessms itty-bitty heartum's. Did
UNI naughty tolic hurtun,'s itty
tummy? zere. Don't cwy, muv-
er's itty-bitty pwecious heart
ums."

government locks passed through
Yesterday and the event was consid-
cred one of great Importance by all
river men. The damming of the
water has raised the whole of the
Mississippi from Keokuk to Burlington
and hundreds of buildings that have
occupied sites along the river have
Railroad tracks for fifty miles have
been torn up and planted on high
er level and great deal of riprap-
ping is necessary to guard against
the encroachment of the current.
The power plant is one OF the
greatest undertakings in the world
The main building as above mention
led is 500 feet long and provisions
have been made for another building
Iof the same Dimensions whenever
the demands for juice is sufficient to
warrant 1t. The first building con-
tains fifteen turbine units which will
generate in the neighborhood Of 1885,
600 horse power. Already three of the
units are In operation and test loads
have been sent to st. Louis. Hanni
bal, Keokuk and other nearby cities
are already lighted and powered from
the big dam. A right of way 100 feet
wide has been purchased and fenced
to st. Louis and the transmission
lines are completed.
The undertaking is so vast as to
stagger the imagination The priv.
ilege of inspecting the plant is a rare
treat and one which is thoroughly
enjoyed by the members of the Cedar
Falls band and others who made the
trip.
Should similar plant be built at
Davenport the chances are that all of
the eastern half of Iowa and the
western half of Illinois will receive
power and light from the mighty
Father of Waters within very few
years

RippIes Of Lake Cooper.

Nauvoo Independent: Have you
seen the new lake yet?
There are very few shallow places
along the river for bathing now.
The time is now ripe. for poem en-
titled Moonlight on Lake Cooper"
Lake Cooper is fine body of wa
ter and Nauvoo nestles on It's east
bank like diamond in crown of
gold"
isn't that a beautiful sight" was
an exclamation heard last night when
people saw the beautiful electric-light-
ed steamer Sidney on Lake Cooper.
Fifteen head of cattle that were on
the islands. were compelled to swim
from place to place to keep from
drowning. They belonged to Iowa
parties and were removed Wednes-
day.
The dam is completed, the new lock
is completed, the power is being
turned on and the new lake is here.
Quite a transformation. Now for
Nauvoo and the future. Let 'er flick
err
There are excursions galore adver
tised to be given on Lake Cooper.
There are one or two day. and sew
eraI moonlights to be. Lake Cooper
is going to be popular for excursions.
There is plenty Of water and 1t is a
fine run.
When the new lock opened Thurs
day morning the several steamers
came steaming up at rate which
boats never made before In the river
here When approa ching Nauvoo the
caliopes played and it sounded like
there was sudden awakening on the
river.
Since the water is up 1t Is evident
that Nauyoo must have new steam
boat landing. The proper place is at
the foot of Mulholland street. where
the city has acquired water front It
will be necessary to open Mulholland
street to the river to make a landing
there properly accessible. Why not do
It now?
The river is still rising a little and
is now higher than was ever known
at the highest stage of water. All of
the islands are now under several feet

Congress is Boss Of Water Power
Recent Decson BY u S. Supreme Court Called .Enoch
Making" Controls all Stream.

John Callan O'Laughlin's Washing.
ton dispatch in Chicago Tribune !:
Washington, D O., June IL. Spe-
ciai. lit has just dawned on con.
gress that the recent decision of the
supreme court of the United States
in the Sault Ste. Marie case. giving
congress absolute powers over the
navigable streams OF the northwest,
will have a far reaching effect in con
nection with government control of
water power.
This decision, described today by
ex-Secretary Of the Interior Walter
Fisher of Chicago as epoch making 2
was handed down two weeks ago, but
its full significance has escaped pub
lie attention.
Water power will be the fuel OF the
future and that now economically
capable Of development probably does
not exceed 25,ooo.0Oo horsepower, as
against a present total stationary
power, steam, water, and gas, OF 3O,-
100000 horsepower.
These facts Indicate the Importance
of a determination of the question
whether the control of the power lies
in the owner OF the banks of stream
or the state or the nation.
Previous Claims by Lawyers.
It has been claimed by lawyers op-
posed to the federal idea Of conser-
walton as enunciated by Roosevelt and
observed by Taft that federal con-
troll OF water power is expressly linn
tied to the sovereign power of con-
troll for the specific purpose Of navi,
cation, and is limited to the reason
able necessities of such navigation"
It further has been claimed that
"all other powers of control, includ-
ing all proprietary rights in the bene.
fetal use of the water powers, have
passed to the states, and the states,
by adjudications which are final on
this subject, have conferred on the
riparian owners all proprietary
rights"
How comprehensive the supreme
courts decision is will be appreciat ID
when it is realized that the term
4navigable waters" does not merely
include the navigable sections OF
streams, but extends to the tributar-
les and feeders, for without the con-
troll of these the power over the navi-
gable sections might become wholly
impotent. The supreme court decis-
ion applies not only to those water
ways in use or capable of use nv
commerce, but tc the branches which
flow into them.
Gives Congress Complete Control.

ed is the control OF congress over the

Not Taking Private Property.

on the judgment OF Congress the use
of the bottom OF the river is proper
for the purpose of placing therein
structures in aid OF navigation, 1t is
not thereby taking private property
for Its own use, for the owners title
was in its very nature subject to that
use in the interests of public naviga-
tion
If its judgment be that structures
placed in the river and upon sub
merged land are an obstruction or
hindrance to the proper use of the
river for purposes of navigation, 1t
may require their removal and forbid
the use of the bed OF the river by the
owner in any way which in its judy
ment is injurious to the dominant
right of navigation.
So also 1t may permit the construc-
ton and maintenance of tunnels IN
der or bridges over the river, and
may require the removal OF every
such structure placed there with or
without its license.
1t is regarded as Uncomfortable by
the supreme court that there can be
private ownership Of the running
water in a great navigable stream.
