GEORGE WALSH AT FON'S.

From Now On," which opened at Fox's yesterday with George Walsh, the Fox star, carries an intensely ex- citing story of the underworld through a rapid fire of incident, stunts, narrow escapes and thrilling, spectacular scenes. It is one of the greatest plays in which young Walsh has appeared. Walsh, who plays the part of a hero dashes through 1t with all his old fascinating sprightliness yet acts up to its great demand for serious work in a way that demon strates hitherto unsuspected histrionic ability.
 The first episode of Bride 13," certainly lives up to all expectations. If the remaining fourteen episodes are nearly as interesting and exciting it will truly prove a wonderful serial.

The Wonders Of America
THE kEOKUk DAM.
BY T. T. MAxEY

THE Mississippi river has been har-
i nessedl A genius named Cooper
(Hugh L., late Of General Pershing's
forces in France) turned the trick.
He built a concrete dam, a feet
wide at the bottom, 90 feet wide on
top and about SO feet high, across the
river; a powerhouse in which will
be housed thirty 10000 horsepower
turbines, each with Its generator
weighing $50 tons; a lock 400 feet long
and ITO feet wide (the width being
the same as the locks In the Panama
canal. but the lift Is higher); the
largest dry dock Cat the time) in fresh
water and An ice fender.
1t was necessary to acquire about
$4,000 acres Of land, build so miles Of
roads and streets and clear 5000 acres
Of brush and timber. More than l.
300 property owners were dealt with.
Litigation was resorted to in only
about ten cases. Two hundred and
eighty-nine tons Of dynamite were used.
Construction work required about $780,
600 barrels Of cement $500 tons Of
steel, 100000 cubic yards Of sand, s.
100000 pounds Of structural steel and
100000 900 feet of lumber.
Now, the Father Of Waters" turns
the machinery that lights cities, runs
street cars and operates factories.
Sixty thousand horsepower Of cleo
tricity is used in st. Louis, IA miles
away. Sufficient power is generated
to light a boulevard from Portland,
Me-, to Los Angeles, CAL, using AZ
candle-power lamps set 100 feet apart.
Construction started January 5.
1910. The first current reached st.
Louis July 1, 1913. The total cost Of
the plant was S26,000,O00.
