SUGGESTS HUGE TUNNEL TO
GET POWER FROM MISSOURI

Pierre. S. D.. Nov. 15.-Doane Robin
son contributes the following sugges-
ton to the revived discussion of hydro
electric power development at Big
Bend, on the Missouri river:
Because of the exceedingly wide
flood plain on the north side of the
gorge at Big Bend a dam that will in
crease the natural head is impractic-
able: If the whole river could be di-
verified through a canal cut through
theg gorge, about % feet head could be
saved nj about 10000 horsepower de-
veloped, but to do this would involve
a cut deeper than the cut 1t Culebrh,
the construction of locks for naviga-.
ton. and costs that would be prohib-
tive. 1t seems to me that the practi-
cal thing for Big Bend is a tunnel.
about 5000 feet long and sufficiently
large to discharge from 750 to 1000
feet each second. The same head could
be saved and from 1900 to 1000 horse
power developed. Such a tunnel could
be driven and lined for about $50 per
lineal foot and the total cost of de-
velopmenr would not exceed $3.50, 900,
or a cost per horsepower not greater
than the development at Keokuk.'

BERToN RRALEY,

BERToN BRALEY.
Let us give thanks that we have found our SIGHT.
We who so long were blind to Greed and Wrong.
Let us give thanks that we can see Alright
The vulturest that have plundered us so long;
Let us give thanks for shelter, clothes and food
And all the plenty which the season brings,
But this shall be our truest gratitude
That we have learned "the fatted soul of things!,
No longer do we babble AL is WE'LL"
Because OUR stomachs suffer not for meat.
No longer do we linger in the spell
OF those who murmur honied lies and sweet:
Let us give thanks that Age and eager Youth
Alike are burning with the inward fire.
The flame that urges Mankind on to Truth
And brings us nearer to our hearts desirei
Let us give thanks that we have learned to feel
The woe and pain of those less fortunate,
That we think less of gold and stone and steel
And more of Men who battle with their Fate.
Let us give thanks for this new spirit sent
To rouse us from the sloth of all our past
Let us give thanks for righteous Discomfort
Which drives us on to better things at last

WfNGFIELD SAYS APPEAL
KNOCKS OUT INJUNCTION

Sioux Falls, S. d.. Nov. 17.-In a
statement made here, Public Examiner
j. L. Wingfield. who issued the order
requiring state banks to deposit a. part
OF their legal reserve funds in state
banks designated by the state bank
ing department. maintains that an ap-
peal just taken by his department. acts
as a stay of execution of the restrain-
ing order.
He says: This means that the re-
straining orders will not be in force
unless the supreme court shall sustain
the ruling of the circuit court. and
the public examiner may. in the mean
time. proceed with the due enforcement
OF the law. and state banks failing to
comply with the lawful rulings and
orders of the public examiner do so
at their peril"
Q this prove true, so far as it
relates to the appeal acting as a stay
TO the restraining orders It is safe to
predict that the attorneys for the four
national banks of Sioux Falls, which
secured the restraining order, will
again go into court in a further effort
TO restrain the public examiner from
putting into effect his order in refer
ence to deposits OF legal reserves In
state reserve banks.

Thus far, the only known preventive
Is to keep the metal surface always

idea of the c%ostliness of this remedy,
however, may be gained from the fact
that it requires about $4,000 annually

Local sportsmen who have an idea
ly change their minds when they read
the following fish story taken from
the Herald Republican of Salt Lake
published in its last issue and narrat-
ing the tale of big trout catch near
HALEY:
Idaho has long been noted for fish
stories, but it remained for James
Wheeler of Bellevue, Idaho, to produce
proof of his fish story. which was
scoffed at by officials of the Oregon
Short Line when they received notice
from him that he was sending "the
biggest trout ever caught"
The trout, which is of the rainbow
species, arrived from Bellevue yester-
day frozen in cake of ice and was
Immediately turned over to a taxider-
mist for mounting. 1t will be sent to
the New York offices to lure wealthy
New Workers out to Idaho to fish for
trout.
The fish was caught in the Wood
river and is 26 inches long and II
inches in girth. 1t weighs IL pounds
The trout is most beautifully colored.
and does not have as much red in It's
as do the majority of the big
trout caught in that section. Its back
is speckled the same as an eastern
brook trout
The fish will be on exhibition in D.
e. Burley's office and later will be sent
to the downtown general offices Of the
Union Pacific system in New York.
