democratic family, both politically and
otherwise. His parents We're Settlers in
Nebraska during the Indian times, and
Alex was born in nut miles and
miles from nowhere. His early exist
ence was one of hardship. he being of
a race which could not shirk work Of the
hardest kind Probably his wonderful
physique was built up by his boyhood
work, but at any rate when Alex first
thought Of baseball 1t was as a means
.of having a vacation and OF providing
la living.
In 1909 he heard of a chance to pitch
for a professional club in Galcsburg,
H., and being offered enough to pay
his expenses and have a little over he
accepted. This provided his start in the
national pastime. began the career Of
the man who now is ranked the premier

burg by indianapolis in the autumn of

the greatest pitcher, to the Philies in
1910 for $3.50. Somebody in Syracuse has

HIGHEST DAM IN WORLD,
Government Structure mt Arrow Rock,
Idaho, Is Dedicated.

Boise, Idaho. oct ARROW Rock DAM
Just completed near Boise by the United
States reclamation service and dedicated
here to-day. IS 34S5 feet high. measured
from the low points of the foundation
to the top of its surmounting crest, and Is
said to be the highest dam in the world.
To anchor this structure 1t was neccs-
sary to blast, through 9l.5 feet of volcanic
rock, down to solid granite APP
proximatcly GOOOO Yards of concrete. be-
sides n large quantity of steel and rock,
were used in the dams construction. the
cost being s5,Io.0OO or s2,ooo,OOo under the
original estimate. Work was begun five
years ago.
Back of the dam the channel Of the
Boise river Is converted into a reservoir
extending IS miles into the mountains,
with storage capacity OF eighty billion
gallons. enough to water 23l0O acres
adjacent to Boise and other towns In
what is known as the Boise irrigation
project. The installation of the system
cost the government sl20OO,Oo0, which is
to be repaid by settlers in twenty years.
The water storage this year has saved
the crops on 10000 acres, the value of
which is estimated to be about equal to
tn" cost Of the dam.
A feature of the dam is n device at
one end of the dam for lifting logs
from the reservoir into concrete
chute. landing them in the river be-
low. for the convenience Of saw mills.
Loggers estimate that there are three
billion feet of lumber to be lifted over
the dam.
A standard guage railroad. II miles
long. operated by the government and
an electric plant generating 1000
horsepower. are other features Of the
big system.

New York, oct. 5-The amount of over.

thoritativelt tonight, is appreciate in
the number of subscribers but not con-
siderable in terms of dollars and cents.
Most of these subscribers came In for
relatively small amounts With the clos

was announced that the total of all sub

that the loan had been over-subscribed
There seemed to be good grounds for
the report that the reconsideration
would be between $5,0No,o0O and 100000
but nothing official was forthcoming to con-
firm this. In this connection, it was
learned tonight that the six largest APP
plications alone took care of $1D.OO,C0)
of the issue. The largest subscription was
for 900; the next was for 100000 900;
the third for sl5,OOO,00o and the next three
for 100000 each. The identity of these
subscribers was not revealed.
Some idea Of the immense amount of
clerical and other work involved may be
CLEANED from the fact that IS groups OF
underwriters in as many cities and sec
lions of the country participated. The
New York group. largest of the lot con-
sisted Of GO financial institutions, each of

customers whom it carried in with it on

night and on two nights worked through

In a statement issued tonight, J. p

Of Heavy Rains in North.

heavy rains which have been falling in
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, the
Mississippi river is rising at rate OF
half a foot per day and. according to
reports from the local weather bureau.

by Thursday. Nov. 20.
A warning comes from Local
Weather Forecaster Spencer, advising
all farmers and others with crops and
property on the bottom lands in this
section to remove them. The sweep
of the high water will be universal In
this part Of the Mississippi valley and
will incur property and crop damage, II
preliminary steps are not taken to
transport them to higher ground level.
The rains which have fallen in
Minnesota and Wisconsin have not
been evidenced here This is due to
the fact that the storm area has not
come centrally this far south. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Spencer, of the local
weather office, in the most cases
while they have affected our temper
ature, the breaking of the storm has
taken place for the most part farther
north.

is nearing at this particular season OF
the year. The fall rains and flood
waters have passed as Il rule at this
season. The stage will average five
feet in the late fall and early winter
months.

Rock Rapids. who returned from
brief scouting trip into South Dakota
in the interests of the Cummins pres
idential candidacy, are firmly convinced
that state will be lister among the
Cummins hackers in the republican ma
tional convention next year.
They found prominent republicans of
all factions in a friendly mood for the
Iowa candidate and considerable
number who are ready to take up an
active and aggressive fight along that
line. So far as the volunteer scouts
could determine. no other presidential
candidate has any large following in
South Dakota.
Feeling Sentiment.
The scouting trip concluded was just
a preliminary investigation, touching
some of the principal cities in the state.
and it is the intention of Mr.. Call
and Mr.. Riniker to visit other towns at
later date. It is not part of their
plans to attempt any local campaign
work in South Dakota, but merely to
cooperate with the supporters of SEN
ator Cummins in a general way.
In discussing his Impressions of the
scouting trip Mr.. Call said:
Dakota Cummins State.
There is no doubt but that South
Dakota will be for Senator Cummins.
OF this we were convinced, tho we
only spent four days in the state and
saw only comparatively few people
We discovered that the entire progress
sive wing of the republican party was
in line for Senator Cummns, and that
many stalwarts were ready to concede
that it would be good politics to link
their fortunes with Iowa in this cam
paign.
Under the recent ruling of the SUI
preme court the primaries will not
take place until June and, therefore,
Senator Cummins will not receive as
much benefit as if the state could de-
clare for him in March or April. How
ever, the best men in South Dakota
will be on the delegation men of ma
tional reputation who will be able to
do him great service before the pri-
marieS are held" -
