POWER PROJECT


Pierre. Sept. 3.-Agitation mas been
commenced for leviving the power
project at Little Bend in the Missouri.
80 miles northwest of Pierre. The
river at that point has a loop OF is

neck only 5000 yards. If canal
could be cut through at that point a
natural fall of Is feet would be Sc
Cured In the distance Of 5000 Yards
Two years ago a survey was made
OF the project on behalf of Hughes,
Sully and Stanley counties, and it
was found q feasible project to har-
ness the Missouri ut this point, and
by the construction Of a barrier across
the river at the north side of the
neck and below the point of diversion
where the stream cut through tie
shale. leaving firm banks seven
(etghths of a mile apart, practically
doubling the fall OF IS feet.
The estimate Of expense of such =
project was %prohibitive to some ex-
tent. for the engineers figured on the
earth being removed from the canal
by team and grading. The war de-
partmsnt. since that date, has con
sented that the material may be re-
moved Systematically and deposited in

is situated in u convenient pot near.

What The Socialists
Accomplished

Said Congressman Berger, Soc
ialist from Milwaukee, speaking
before election. The Socialists
will have twenty-five seats in the
next House OF Representatives"
The Socialists did not carry sim
gle congressional district, and Mr..
Berger was himself beaten for re-
election. Said Mayor Lunn, Soc
ialist OF Schenectady, speaking be-
fore election, The total Socialist
vote in the country for 1912 will
overrun the million mark. The
total vote did not reach l 100000,
AS Elijahs OF politics, both Mr..
Berger and Mr.. Lunn, to steal a
phrase from the card tables, over
played their hands"
There are several things the So
cialists did do, however, which in
more than one State will compel
the big-party politicians to reckon
wit hthem as growing force.
While they lost their single con-
gresham, their one Washington
eve almb, they elected many q
State legislator. Added also to
what was already in their hands,
the recent vote gives them more
than 500 local offices in the whole
country. Small offices? Yes.
What then: There is such a COM
modify OF the victorious as the
triumph OF the small. Govern
ment, rightly regarded, is OF the
bottom, not the top, and to him
who sits by his own fire, paying
ior and poking it, councilman
is OF more weight than a congress
man, policeman more important
than a President.
While they did not reach the mil
lion mark, the Socialists more than
doubled their vote o: 1905. In
only two States, Massachusetts
and Oklahoma, did their vote
shrink away from totais or rour
years ago. In every other State,
they made huge gains, notably in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
The returns show that the Soc
ialists as a party are upon most
decided upgrade.
AS indicating iour-year growth
OF Socialism, run your eye over
this:

COTTON STEADIES

Weak Cables - Spot Houses
Active Buyers at Close.

NEW YORK, oct. 1s.-In response TO
weak cables and favorable weather con
dltlons overnight, the cotton market
opened barely steady to-day, with first
prices at a net decline Of 6 to s points
from the closing quotations Of Friday.
After the call there was a slight de
cline from the opening, due to realiz-
ing by the ring. Later brokers close to
the larger spot interests came in on
the buying side. 1t was about this time
that reports OF rainy weather in the
central half Of the belt were received.
and the weather map showed cold
wave over the Northwest. which was
feared might develop over Sunday. The
news Of rains was important. because II
ia pretty well understood that low
grades predominate in the Southwest al
ready. The same brokers who bought
freely on the successful advance recent
~ were active buyers. There was no
special significance to their trading.
however
Toward the close the market rallied
I to 3 points over the previous close, but
lost a few points later, through some
scattered Weekend profit taking, and
the market closed steady with prices at
a net decline Of l to points from
