 Horsepower.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 26-The ST. 100000 water power development dam, new government lock and dry dock in the Mississippi river at this point, was opened today.

STATE UNIVERSITY
 FORGING FORWARD
Simmer Canvas of State by Faculty Members Greatly Enlarged the EnrOllment-Great State
 Pride Shows.

Fayetteville, Aug. 26.-lL is esti- mated that as a result of a canvass of the state made during the sum- mer by the representatives of the University of Arkansas, the enroll mrnl of that institution for the en- suipg year will be encreased about 3o0 over last year. The prospects arc that the enrolment will be the heaviest in many years.
 The object of the canvass was to roach as many high school gradu- ales as possible, and it is reported lhat a larger per cent have this year chosen the University instead of other colleges, outside the state, fhan in previous years. One mem her of the faculty canVassed ten counties which last year had only ? pupils ill school, and these coun- ties will increase their enrolment for the year over 50. Last year there was a total of 600 in the in sttution, and next year it will be increased to 800 or 900.
 An increasingly large number of pupils have taken advantage of the $l5,00O Student Employment Fund appropriated tby the last leg islature, and many have made enough this summer to pay the greater part of their expenses for the year. Their opportunity pre- sented itself through the numerous repairs that have been made in the building and on the grounds.

Twelve years ago, when W. R. Cole, of the firm of Nichols X Cole, was employed by Petty & Townsend, a young man came into the store and attempted to pawn a pair of trousers. He was in destitute cir cumstances and wanted a dollar with which to obtain food and to assist him in getting to his home.
