Eau Claire, Wis, March 22.-The
Wissota dam which. next to the Keo-
kuk dam, Is claimed to be the greatest
hydro electric dam on the American
continent. was set In operation a few
days ago when the current started
over the great transmission line to st.
Paul and Minneapolis.
The Wissota dam is situated fifteen
miles northwest Of Eau Claire and two
miles above Chippewa Falls on the
Chippewa river and represents ar out
lay to date of more than $4,000, 900 and
will cost another million to complete.
Work began in october, 1915, and
since then there has been an average
OF LOO men constantly employed. All
that remains to be done Is the finish
ing work which will likely take from
two to three months.
The dam is 6,910 feet long and two
dikes increase its length considerably.
From bottom to top OF the power plant
itself is 100 feet. Back water behind
the dam will cover about 1000 acres.

THE SOLDIER AS AN ATHLETE

A lieutenant in the Dfnish army
has accomplished an unusual athletic
feat at the age Of 81 years.
An account in the London Times
tells that he completed the task of
walking half a mile, running half a
mile, cycling half a mile, padding
half mile, sculling half mile and
swimming half mile, all within half
an hour.
His tine Cor walking the halfmile
was five minutes 3S 1-5 seconds, or
at the rate of Ii miles an hour. His
running time was three minutes and
10 seconds, which compares favor
ably under the circumstances with the
average of two minutes for a half
mile run in a college field meet. The
other laps in this unusual race
against time were completed in marks
that stand well with records fo- in
dividual events.
The point to be emphasized is the
all-around capability of the soldier,
If he has heen a stae athlete before
entering the army, ne is that nich
better prepared to round out his ply
steal proclivities. If he never ran a
race in his life, the soldier after six
months service is fl. to take part
IN almost any line of competition.
The man who becomes physically
fit at the stage that is required of
a man in the army, is simply adding
years to his future life. The chances
are good that he will be better
man at 80 than the civilian without
training. Which partially accounts
for the large number OF G. A. r. vet.
erans 81 years after The close Of the
Civil war.-Des Moines Capital.

U. S. PREPARING TO
TREAT INSANE SOLDIERS
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. s.
Of all the American soldiers who will
be invalided back from European
service, 20 per cent will require treat
ment in insane asylums. Shel, shock
and similar maladies will affect this
many, at least, in the opinion of DR.,
William A. White, superintendent of
st. Elizabeth's hospital, Washing
ton.
Congress has voted him funds to
extend the local hospital on these es-
Inmates:
That 10 per cent of the 100000
soldiers who will see service abroad
the first year will be invalided home;
that one-fifth of them will be tenn
porary or permanently insane.
Because his institution may not
be able to care for all the patients,
DIR. White has been given authority
to send the men to hospitals thruout
the country, the government paying
for the service.
81 will not estimate the number of
men l expect to treat" said DR..
White. "The very best we may hope
for is several thousand. The science
of restoring their minds will prog
ress rapidly"
Mental engineers will visit canton
ment camps to see that drafted men
who seem likely to succumb to in
tense nervous excitement are exempt.

UNITE TOWN AND COUNTRY

One of the objects Of the Greater
Iowa week which is being celebrated
this week thruout the state is clos
er union between the people of the
towns and those Of the country.
1t ought to be apparent that we can
never have a truly great Iowa until
all elements of the potllation are
pulling together.
One of the things thathas been a
severe drawback to Iowa has been the
antipathy toward the capital city.
There are agencies even today that
deliberately strive to create bitter
feelin gtoward Des Moines.
There was time when the farmer
and the towns people constantly pull
ed at cross-purposes. One reason for
this was that the farmer and the
townsman did not get acquainted. The
automobile has done great deal to
break down the barrier. The organ
ization of counties under crop ex-
perts, which fosters cooperation be-
tween all people of a county, is an
other good thing.
The meetings which will be held
in all parts of the state this week
ought to be productive of much good.
The greater Iowa" idea must be
thoroly understood and appreciated by
all classes before it can get any
where as state asset-Des Moines

denburg say when they are confront
ed by United States soldiers who hail
from Berlin, Leipsic, Kiel, Krupp,
Karlsruhe and other towns similarly
named? Perhaps they will hiss
"Treason!" but they will get no com
fort from that, for the boys from
these towns are all good Americans.
The fact is that there are So Berlins
over which Uncle Sam rules, whereas
the kaiser only has one. AS for Ham
burgs and Bremens, why, the kaiser
can't touch US. He's got one of each.
We have ten Bremens and no less
than 80 Hamburgs. Only eleven states
in the union haven't a town named
Berlin, but others make up for the
deficiency hy having two. Pennsyl-
vania has four and Virginia three.
When the war broke out there was
in the United States, and each of
them is sending its sons to the front.
Furthermore, there are five Leipsics
a rush on the part of all belliger-
ents to change the names of towns,
streets, hotels and restaurants which
bore enemy names. Berlin, Ontario,
was changed to Kitchener; Russia
renamed st. Petersburg Petrograd;
London renamed all its German streets
and Paris all it's German cafes, while
Berlin retaliated in kind. No one has
brought up the subject SO far of
changing the titles of the numerous
Berlins, Hamburgs and other Ameri-
can towns with German names.-New

ed her.
The late Mrs. Perkins celebrated
her eightieth birthday anniversary
November %, 1916. The burden OF
years weighed so lightly :pon ner
shoulders it was fittingly said, "She
was so years young" She was
New England woman by birth. Her
maiden names was Ellen G. Tuller,
and she numbered among her ances-
tors some of the noblest men and wo-
men of Colonial days. In 1857 she
became the bride of Monroe w. Per
kins. To them six children were
born, three of whom survive. Mrs.
Grace H. Kunkel of Philadelphia,
Horace Perkins of Montana and F. G..
Perkins of Durango.
For many years Illinois was the
family home. Later they moved to
Kansas and in 1898, after the late Mr..
Perkins was stricken with paralys-
is, they came to Durango. Her hus-
band passed away in 1899.
In addition to her children, the late
Mrs. Perkins numbered among her
descendants II grandchildren and six
great grandchildren. Twelve of the
former and five of the latter survive
her.
Mrs. Perkins was a capable, clever
woman, possessed of a pleasing per-
sonality that endeared her to persons
Of all ages and in all walks of life.
She was as keenly interested in cur
rent events as in the happenings of
yore, and old age left no perceptible
mark on her faculties. Both in ap-
pearance and in mind she appeared
more youthful than many women 20
years her Junior.
No funeral arrangements have been
