BIG BEND POWER
MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION
ORGANIZED AT PIERRE, WITH
DOANE ROBINSON AS
ONE OF PRIME
MOVERS.

Pierre, s. D.-A move looking to-
ward the ultimate development of
power at Big Bend in the Missouri
river, several miles below this city,
is contemplated in the articles of in
corporation filed here for the Mis-
missouri River Power Comany, with
at Pierre, and d cap
ital of $1.000,000. The incorporates
j. E. Mallory, Doane Robinson, and
Harry Quackenbush of Pierre.
Their plan is included in House
roll. 1880, introduced in Congress
by Congressman H. L. Candy, Febru-
airy 21, which seeks to give the COM
pany authority to develop power from
the Missouri at Big Bend. The bill
attempts to meet the conditions re-
garding rights of private companies
in development of power, and while
such a plan would be one of great
importance to this section of the
state, the bill is subject to many diff
ferent ideas as to power development
on navigable streams of the country
which are now up for consideration
i'll Congress.
However, this move puts the Mis-
souri, River Power company in posi-
tion to take up the work if conditions
are favorable.

New Preparedness Phase.

Washington. d. C.-The campaign
for national preparedness will enter
a new phase in Congress next week,
when in all probability bills pfovid-
ing for increasing the army to an
extent never before contemplated in
time of peace will be introduced in
both the House and Senate.
The Senate committee agreed yes
terday to insert only general pro-
vision for liberalization of the ma
tional guard in its regular army re-
organization measure. leaving the
task of putting this legislation in
final shape to the joint conference
committee, to which the two bills
will go. BY this action the Senate
committee made it possible to bring
out its bill also next week.
Would Increase Pensions.
Pensions of not less than $40 a
month for all union Civil war veter-
ans 70 years old or more and eligible
for the pension roll are proposed in
a bill favorably reported to the
House yesterday The measure also
would increase from $12 to $40 the
pension of every widow who was the
lawful wife of soldier during his
services in the Civil war: restore to
their former pensionabie status WI.
dows of Civil war soldiers dropped
from the rolls because of their mar
riage to other persons and who are
again widows or divorced on theil
own application, and amend by max
ing the date 1905 the act of 1890
providing that women who married
Civil war veterans after that date
should not be entitled to pensions
upon becoming widows. No officia'
estimate of the amount the bill
would add to pension appropriations
has been made, but the total would
be some millions of dollars.
