When the stute was gerrymanded the Second dis- triot was cut out for a democratic district €0 _that all the other districts could he made safely republican. But George Curtls and Joe R. Lane both won it from the democrats, and then Judge Wade, now democratic national cominitteeman®got it Dawson beat him elght years ago and has held the district since. ‘It is known the district 15 close and there are fears thgt 1t will now wo easily to the democrats. It has been expected among democrats that Senator J. A. DeArmand of Davenport would be their candidate. He is a brother of the distinguished Missouri man who, was burned to death last fall. Dr. DeArmand 1s not, however, very strong in the district outside of Davenport. Senator Johh T Wilson of Clinton is regfirded as.possihly a candidate of the democrats. Judge Wade | would not accept sgain. For the republicans it may be that the selection will depend upon the democratic J. A. Haniey of Davenport has been mentioned, but is understood to not be a candidate. Colonel George W. Frenech of Davenport if regarded as available, but he Is a busy man and has little taste for politics. Theodore Carstensen, former mem- ber of the legislafure from Clinton, is ve- garded as a candldate. He is strong with the labor element. John Cownle, a member of the Board of Control, lives In the dis- trict, but he does not plan to get into politics. Irformation from eastern Towa is that an effort 1s to be made to concentrate among republicans for the nomination of Charles )| Grilk of Davenport as successor to Con- gressman Dawson. He is a lawyer and a German and has never held office, Announcement a Surprise. The announcement of Dawson came as a surprise. He was popular in the -district. He had received his training with the standpat element, but his district was overwhelmingly progressive in sentiment and he has so played the game as to satisfy both factions at home. But it is understood that he realized that it was Bolng to be exceedingly difficult to satisty the demands of his constituents and con- tinue to hold a prominent place in the house and be in position to get things for his district.

LAST WORK ON BIG CODY DAM Wyoming Town Celebrates Comple- tion of Monster Projeot. LAKE FOURTEEN MILES LONG Reservolr Will Have Capacity Water 182,000 Acres of Land for Two Years—On Site of Anclent Lake. to CODY, Wyo., Jan. 17.—(Special.)—The citizens of Cody and the Shoshone valley are celebrating the completion of the fmmense government dam just above this eity, for today thg last bucketful of ce- ment was dumped on the huge structure and smoothed Into place amid the cheers of the workmen and several hundred en- thusiastic cltizens, who were present to witness the event. The eelebration was contined throughout the day and far into the night In Buffalo Bill's town, al- though it was entirely informal. The big dam finished today is the high- est structure of its kind In the world. It is 328 feet high, eighty feet long at the base, 200 feet at the top, and more than 100 feet thick. It will impound water suf- ficlent to irrigate 132,000 acres of land for two years and will c¢reate a lake four- teen miles long and three miles wide, with a maximum depth of over 200 feet. Four years have been required to complete the work. A smaller dam, known ds the Corbett diversion project, was completed last year. This lower dam is of concrete and designed to ralse the water of the Shoshone river about fourteen feet, carry ing it to and through a tunnel over three to the main canal of the Shoshone project. The next anit in the big project will be the construction of the high lin® canal, which wifl take water direct from the big reservoir and dis- tribute It to many additional acres in the immediate vicliiity of Cody. On Site of Anclent Lake. The completion of the big dam today paves the way for the restoration of an anclent lake proven to have existed thou- sands of years ago. When this lake over- flowed, thé water gradually wore a pas- sageway through the solld granite moun- tain and in the course of numberless cen- turles formed a gorge eight miles in length and several hundred feet deep, leaving the lake bed dry. Behind the solid mountain of masonry just completed by the reclafnation service the angry flood waters of the Shoshone river will be held until once more the ancient lake is created —this time to be held for the use and beneflt of the settlers on 132,000 acres of land. Before work could be commenced on the dam, the government found it necessary to construct a wagon road through the almost inaccessible gorge worn by the river. In many places 'this roadbed is tunnelled through the rocky sides of the granite walls, and for several miles the road was blasted out of the sheer granite face of Rattlesnake mountain. This road now forms the first eight miles of Cody's magnificent route to the Natlonal park. An entire year was required to complete the wagon road. Capacity of Huge Reservolr. The storage capacity of the big reser- votr will be 466,000 acre feet. The *main canals will be slxty miles In length and the laterals 150 miles. Only the flood waters of the Shostone river will be Im- pounded, and it fs estimated that it will require two years to fill the lake its ¢apagity, although the project has a drain- age dyea of 1,380 square miles. Many fine ranchys—now the property of the gbvern- ment—will be completely submerged by the impounded waters. The first American to visit the vieinity of the Shoshone dam was John Colter. He had been with Lewis and Ciark on thelr famous trip of exploration to the northwest, but on the return trip left the party to trap and hunt on the Upper Mis- sourl. Later he joined a party under Lisa, the lerprising Spanish explorer, and ac- cummlrd it to the Big Horn river. Two years were spent In hunting and trapping on the Big Horn and its tributaries, and it was while here that Colter discovered the Shonsone canyon and the now famous hot mineral springs at Cody. Colter’s stories of the wonders of the region now incorpor- ated in the Yellowstone park were recelved in derision by trappers and traders with whom he later associated and it was nearly fifty years before that now fa- mous reglon received official notice and exploration began.

Good Majority for Liberals, An estimate made today after careful calculation by a well Informed unlonist based on Saturday’s poilings, gives the lib- erals and labories a clear majority of 90, or 100, over all other parties, which would provide the liberal government with & good working majority. Many of the unionists, however, are less despondent. They do ot believe that the liberals will finish the election with so good a record as this. At the National Liberal club great satls factign s expressed over the resuits so far.
