CHEAPER POWER FOR
OF
25,000 Horsepower Will Be De
veloped by New Dam Near
Helena.
Speoial to The Journal,
Helena, Mont., April 2B.The dam
being constructed across the Missouri
river eighteen miles northeast of
Helena is rapidly nearing completion,
there remaining a gap of only eighteen
or twenty feet the concrete base and:
it is expected this will be filled in a
few days. This does not mean, how
ever, that the development of electrical
power will begin in that time, as there
still remains a vast amount of work to
do and the actual harnessing of the
river will not take place until July 1 or
lAug. 1.
The dam will develop a horsepower of
about 25,000, which will be transmitted
largely to Anaconda, Butte and Helena
for use in the mines, smelters and man
ufacturing plants. The pole line has
been completed to these cities and all
is in readiness at the distant ends for
the reception of the silent fluid, -#hlch

band aide of the stream, forty feet wide
and twenty-five fet aeep.
The site of the dam is picturesauely

Former Governor Says Alaska Will
Some Day Furnish a Large Part of
World's Supplies.
Special to The Journal.
Lake Linden, Mich./Ajpril 28.It is
the emphatic assertion or A. P. Swine-,
ford, former governor of, Alaska, who
is returning to that territory from a
visit pfV several weeks at Washington,
tthat the copper deposits "of Alaska are
greater, in extent than the iron ore
fields of all five of the Lake Superior
ranges, and when properly developed
will furnish a very large proportion of
the wo^rld 's supplies of the red metal.
The .vast extent of Alaska's min
eral resources is but little realized."
said he, "and it will doubtless be
twenty years before the territory is
producing' mineral at .anything like the
rate of which it is capable.
"Native coprjer, such as is mined in
the Lake Superior region, is not found
in Alaska, and the ores are to a large
extent sulphides, some of which, mined
in the Ketchikan district, average
about 9 per cent exclusive of the gold
and' silver" values. Immense -water
power is available, and the vast stores
'of mining timber in sight further make
it possible to produce the red metal at
lowest cost.

Ithere is more coal in Alaska than the

umphantly, yet with apparent bitter
ness. Miss Grace Walton, who has
achieved success on the stage, speaks
of the time when she was a Red Wing
schoolgirl, and had before her, as her
acquaintances took for granted, no
promising future.
Miss Walton, whose.real name is
Carrie Anderson, has been in Red Wing
a short time visiting the humble home
from which she started out several
years ago to'win laurels on the stage.
As a schoolgirl she was not considered
bright and made but few friends. No
one thought she would win.high honors
on the New York and London stage.
While visiting here Miss Walton has
not cared particularly to see, anybody
but the members of- her own immediate
family. The discouragements, that she
received from everybody when she
went on the stage ana the disdain
among her friends have seasoned her
temperament with a bitterness which
becomes apparent whenever she speaks
about old times.
Miss Walton first appeared- before
the footlights in a minor part in com
panies that traveled about the country.
I enjoyed this for several years,''
she said to a Journal representative,
"until 1 began to see the possibilities
for better and more serious work, and
then I determined to become something
in my profession. I studied, and
studied hard, but my progress was slow.
