Mltchell.-"Drive a canal across the
loop at Great Bend, install a power
plant there and you can develop 20
600 horse power, which could be
changed into electrical energy and
sold at about one-flfth the present rate
charged by electrical companies"
Tks statement was made by John
l.. Nelson, formerly county surveyor
of Dawson county, after making two
surveys of the big loop at Great Bend,
IS miles northwest of here, and .
short distance south of Pierre.
This gigantic loop in the Missouri
is caused by a chain of $50 hills which
forces the river to make a circuit Of
20 miles, coming back to within a mile
and ~three-quarters Of where the loop
starts.
MI. Nelson says: 'If a canal was
put in across the neck of this loop, one
could easily create a 22-foot head of
water. According to the river guag-
ing station at Bismarck, the flow of
the river is 10000 feet minimum,
which would give at this point more
than 10000 horse power, which could
readily be turned into electrical cur
rent at one-fifth of the cost now re-
CURED blythe expensive means re-
CURED to develop power in this state"
On several occasions companies
have looked into the proposition of de-
velopinS this power, but the large int-
tial expense has caused all projects to
be abandoned. The newly organized
Mitchell Street Railway and Interur-
ban company is looking into the FEAST
bility of putting in q plant at this
point, intending to market the sur
plus current TO surrounding towns If
it should decide to develop the prop
osition.

MESSAGE OF DEATH HELD UP.
British Frewn on Quotations from the
Bible.

StStUs
Sioux Falis.-BecaUse Herman Hal
vorson of Sinai, a member of the
board of commissioners of Brookings
county, quoted two verses of scrip
ture in a cablegram to his brother,
Peter Halvorson, a missionary in
Madagascar, the British government
held up the ~cablegram, under the be-
lief that it was a cipher message.
The cablegram was sent to the broth
er in Madagascar for the purpose OF
informing him of the death of the
mother of the two men in South Da.
kota. The two verses OF scripture had
been selected by the South Dakota
brother to be used at the funeral OF
the mother, and he cabled them to his
brother, so the latter could utilize the
same verses ut simultaneous funeral
services in honor of the mother al
services held by him in his mission
in Madagascar.
The British government finally was
satisfied, after referring the matter
back to the United States and South
Dakota, and after a delay of some
days permitted the cablegram to sc
forward after the word oversees" had
been added. The cablegram consisted
of fourteen words, and cosc the South
Dakota man S13.S6. There is no doubt
the British government spent several
times that amount before it was con
vinced that the cablegram was pure
ly a personal one from n brother to
another, announcing the death of their
mother.

Belgrade.

Belgrade, the capital of the kingdom
of Serbia, which has now fallen into
the hands Of the Germans, has grad
ually. for many years past, been losing
its old, Turkish aspect, becoming more
modern, more European. The history
of the city for nearly a thousand years
has been one of continual contests.
The walls have disappeared since
1862; the last and finest OF the five
gates was demolished in 1868. and the
citadel is not up to the requirements
Of modern warfare. The manufactures
of Belgrade consist of arms, cut
lery. saddlery, silk goods. carpets, etc,
The chief buildings in the city are the

That the people Of large cities
constantly wear a face of iron. tc
apparently repel approaches from
anyone. is a fact often commented
upon by people from rural districts,
or small cities. Go anywhere in a
city like Chicago. in any public
gathering, and try to talk in a
friendly way to any m near YOU.
1t will be the frozen face for you,
and a look as if you were trying to
sell 'em a gold brick.
Here is an interesting bit of COM
ment upon this condition by a paper
in a city as large as St. Paul:
Who now a say a great city
metropolis has no soul? Like q single
human being, humanity ia the mass
needs only a little tribulation to
bring its soul out into the light of
day. Your city bred man wears a
face of iron or of putty when things
run smoothly. The larger his city
the less does his humanity display
itself. But let him for one moment
come face to face with a real exper-
fence and his mask drops and you
find a face as interested, as kindly,
as crude and as self, revealing as that
of the veriest country youth.
Such was the Illuminating expert.
ence OF Chicago last week. 1t is
doubtful If anything short of the
colossal disarrangement of long ar
ranged convenience which occurred
when the traction employees walked
out could have torn the mask quite
so completely from Chlcago's hard
ened old face. The city awoke one
morning to find itself without it's
accustomed means Of transportation
and it became a great, gossipv,
nelghborly, happy go lucky country
village.
Man smiled at maiden with the
innocence of a pumpkin at a husk-
ing bee. Business man late, shop
girl helpless in a cariess loop, mil
riding home in a truck,
telephone operator over worked,
policeman desperate, jitney owner
all became brothers and
sisters. All laughed together, each
helped the other, and Chicago saw
itself for the first time, perhaps,
since the great fire."
