scarcely a foot of waste land. But
when we reached the Twin Falls dis
trlct all was changed. 1t seemed that
darkness had suddenly changed to the
brightness of noon-time.
We saw horticulture and agriculture
productions that, dearly as | love my
own state, | must confess puts Iowa
completely in the shade. Wherever
the apples were not harvested, we
found phenomenal crop. And trees
that would have been too young for
frultage in the east, were bending with
their load. And stacks of alfalfa from
plots of ground that honestly, did not
look large enough to keep COW.
This was not mile or two of such
great productiveness, but we travelled
through miles of such country. Be-
fore leaving my home in Morning Sun
for the west, took steamer for an
excursion down the Mississippi river
to see the world wide renown Power
plants, dam and lock at Keokuk, Iowa
This power plant when completed will
be the largest ever built, having $780,
600 horse power. The dam across the
Mississippi river in the biggestething
which the government required built,
Is bigger than those of the Panama
canal.
The Gatum lock at Panama is won
derful engineering achievement of it's
kind, yet the Keokuk lock is just as
wide, Clio feeD and has hit of forty
feet, whereas the lift at Panama is
twenty-eight feet and four inches.
AS we steamed into the lock we dis
cussed the method of the upper gate
closing. 1t was not anywhere in sight
But presently as we watched it slowly
rose up out Of the water like huge
monster, operated by compressed air.
With the closing Of the gate the water
in the lock rapidly sank down, lower
ing us to the level of the river below
the dam, and then we realized from
the exposed walls more fully the
greatness of the work
The lower gates are monstrous in
their greatness, and weigh about one
and one half million pounds. The
gates are made of steel and two in
number. They swing on ball bearing
hinges and Notwithstanding their en-
ormous weight, SO perfectly do they
work that man with crow bar can
move them.
The dry dock is large enough to ac-
cOmmodate all the steamers on the

CURACAO PILES UP

It seems that the vessel had been to To keen where she had taken on 250 tons of block marble, and was proceeding on her way with Capt.

A PROMISING SUBURB

The relatively fine weather yesterday called out Ketchikan people in great numbers as pedestrians. Those happening to turn their footsteps south were agreeably surprised to see the way in which Ketchikan s new southern suburb, RrooX- Smithville, is growing. There are now no less than seven residences up or under con- struction, and others contemr- lated. Georgetown-on-the-h hill just south of Brook -Smithville claimed considerable attention too, but it is feared that it's population will not grow as Iapidly as it's neighbor, at least until aeroplanes are little cheaper.

 A RECORD BREAKER

Yesterday was the busiest day the local cable office ever had in it's history. During the time is was open, it received no less than 11S messages. The great majority of them were from far northern and interior points and sent here to be for warded by the Admiral Samp- son to the Sound owing to the break in the Seattle-Sitka cable. As several of the messages were more than two hundred words in length, the local force was certainly busy.

AN EXCITING TIME

The story is circulating a. round town today that an ex- citing time was had at the SpauldinS- Malone residence last night. It appears that the former arrived at home after the Hon. Biddy had retired, and having rather cold feet built up the fire to warm them up be- fore retiring for fear of walk ing his partner. While waiting for the fire to get under way, he went to sleep, and didn': wake up until the red-hot stove pipe had set the cabin roof on fire. Calling to Malone he dashed out, undertook to climb up on tic roof, and slipping off landed in pool of water deep enough to wet his all over. By this time Biddy appeared on the scene clad in his smile and his rajamas, and was met with 2 pail of water landed amidships, thus sousing both partners. Fortunately help arrived by this time and at last the flames were subdued to the satisfaction and peace of the community.

PUTTING TT UP
 TO CONGRESS

The Senate committee on fish cries, fish and game has pre- pared a memorial to Congress that is up for consideration. The essential features of the memorial are briefly as fol- lows.
 The abolishment of the jigger OH all fish traps is demanded and that leads be limited to GOO feet in length; traps and pound nets seines not to be used within a mile of a salmon stream. bay or estuary of any salmon stream; it's posts or monuments to be placed mark Ing the mouths of all salmon streams; that all traps now To- cated within the limits sought to be made prohibitive be re moved. Fish trap sites are de- clared to be special privileges and t is recommended that a lar be set against title to such sites; government hatcheries are recommended.
 The memorial sets forth that al the legislative hearing it was shown by the evidence of can ncry men and fishermen en- gagged in the calling for liveli- hood that the salmon supply was being rapidly depleted and that legislation was necessary imediately in order to protect the fishing industry and prevent the eNtermination of the fish supply.

OIL TANK BUILDERS ARRIVE

On board the Alki yesterday was the tank building gang uf the Standard Oil company, con' ing here to erect oil tanks just onove the Strong oil dock. Il. X. Harris one of the construc- ton engineers of the company came up and will remain until the work is we'll started, after which q. l.. Edmondson, con- struction foreman, will be i'll charge. Three main tanks will be build at once, with the nee essary piping and measuring tanks. This work will take from three to four months, and there is every probability, that one. and possibly two other tans will be built in addition, which would keep the gang busy until we'll on into the fall When finished. the plant will be the most complete on the Pacific coast north of Rich mond Beach. The material for the first tank, to hold distillate, arrived on recent boat and is now on the oil dock, work on which will be begun at once, while that on the others will follow as soon as the material iS on the ground and the founG ations are in readiness. An idea of the size of the plant is gotten when We realize that with the three tanks full there will be over ten thousand tons Of oil.
