M0BR|DGE SITE
FOUND THE BEST
Engineers Report on Location
of Proposed Water Power
Plant-Would Cost
$16,147, 900.

Pierre, S. d, May 3.-The Hydro
Electric commission has received the
report OF the engineers, Mead & Sea-
stone, of Madison. Wis, who were
employed to survey the Missouri river
for information as to the feasibility
of water power development in this
state. The engineers report that the
site about four miles above Mobridge
is the best n for immediate develop
1nent, and that power could be derel-
oped there, at present prices of con-
struction, etc. to sell for l.S7 cents
per kiloWatt hour, or ever less if Gus
toners furnished the secondary trans
mission. At this point a plant with
S2-foot head could be developed at
less first cost than any other point
on the Missouri.
After the power was fully sold from
such a plant, the engineers recon-
mend that the second plant to be de-
veioped snould be the one at Mule
head, which is above Platte, in south
eastern South Dakota.
The engineers estimate the cost of
the Mobridge plant to be about
s9,103,oo0 under present cost condi-
tions. They estimate a transmission
'''NNA "SoA' SoSN apodt Stspf1,VoV, 81
that the total cost of plant and sys-
tenn would be about s16,147, 600.
h engineers report in brief, that
In the extremely low water of 1919,
the lowest ever known. the Mobridge
plant would produce 16, 900 continuous
horse power, and if half of it could be
marketed it would be distributed owe
h eastern part of the state and sold
at 1.S1 cents, the state supplying the
entire transmission; il all be sold, it
could be supplied at l.35 cents per
E;lowatt hour.
The Hydro Electric commission will
sdopt the recommendations of the en-
sineers and will further recommend
that no development be undertaken
until the question of a bond issue be
submitted to the people for approval.
The last legislature placed $780, 600
in the hands of the commission to
secure this report and the enterprise
has cost less than half that sum,

TAYLOR
|D0LIZED In LONDON
Theater Goers Cheer u. S.
Star Whose Debut Gal
lery Rowdies Ruined.

London. May 4.-British sportsman
ship returned LauTette Taylor a
tremendous ovation tonight when
for a second time she was seen in
the British opening of her play "One
Night in Rome
Chagrined at the action of rowdies
in the gallery when Miss Taylor
opened her play here for the first time
and was compelled to S. o in the
second act because of the noise,
British theatre lovers turned out to-
night to prove they We're not in
sympathy with last weeks demon
Stration.
When the performance was over,
the audience bravoed and cheered
and finally drew Miss Taylor before
the curtain for a speech.
What hurt me most, about Thurs
days outbreak said the actress,
Were the yelled references in some
quarters that l disliked England and
tina the demonstration was organic
ed in protest against me. l have
always loved England and America,
and tonight am more moved than T
can say at the wonderful British
spirit of craftsmanship and fairplay."
The audience rose to its feet and
cheered the little actress. The or
chestra played the Star Spangled
Banner and the British anthem.
Then Miss Taylor's husband, auth
or of this and other of her plays,
came before the curtain and ex-
pressed his thanks and deep apprec-
iation of the tribute to his wife.
When the crowd left. the naonla
lined the walks in front of the lobby
and rendered a great ovation to Am
bassador Davis as he walked to his
carriage. The whole incident was as
if the British public wished to i'm
press upon Americans that there was
no anti-American sentiment in the
rowdyism of last Thursday which
broke up Laurette's play.

HOW'LL GO
BY MARK Sill

Copyright. 1890 by N. Y. Evening Post
ING; and The Sioux City Tribune.
Washington, D.. c., May 1.-TWO
primaries are under way today, Cali
fornia and Indiana. In California.
Hoover and Johnson are the contest
ants. In Indiana all four of the re-
publican leaders, Wood, johnson.
LoWden and Harding, are entered.
and all four have just finished per
sonal campaigning tours through tbe
state.
AS to the outcome in California the
belief was publicly expressed by ex-
president Taft on Saturday that
Hoover would win: but such informa-
ton as your correspondent has been
able to get from California, through
the medium of carefully checked
private estimates, not only from the
contenders Il their friends. but
also from neutrals and democrats.
leads your correspondent to believe
that Mr.. Taft's judgment has been
warped by his natural wish that
Senator Johnson's extreme posi-
ton on the league Of nations should
not be endorsed by a victory in Cali
fornia.
johnson Is Confident.
That Johnson personally is confid-
of theresult in Ca%lifornialis prov
ed by the fact that he did not re-
turn to the state campaign, but went
instead to Indiana.
The net balance of the best in
formation from California would lead
70 the conclusion that johnson
should carry the state today comfort
ably. q
HooVer is in a quite different posi-
ton from Johnson. If he is to quail
ify in the convention at all he must
qualify as a dark horse, and in that
position he is practically as well off
after defeat today as he was before,
unless, of course his defeat should be
Overwhelming, which is not at all
probable.

London and had constant use. When

until last month. Last month a maker
of pianos called to see 1t. and offered
$3.50 for 1t. The next day man who
overhauled 1t said he could get $3.50
for 1t cash down. The day after that
a tuner considered II worth $500. The
