TREES ARRIVING-J. w. Farris,
the Loveland nursery man who has
been soliciting orders for Florence aud
Beaver park planting, this morning
received 5000 apples, 1000 cherries
and 200 prune and plum trees from
his nursery. The stock was distrib-
uted today and most Of it goes to Bea-
yer. Mr.. Farris has received some
trees previous to this and two more
shipments are coming which will
be much larger than the one received
today. Altogether he expects to ship
in between 1000 and 1900 fruit
trees for home planting.

AN EXPLANATION.

There seems to be misunderstand-
ing in regard to award Of prizes offer
ed by Walker Bros, for the greatest
Improvement In each of the three
wards of Florence. We wish to state
that the prizes are offered not for old
established lawns, but for lawns im-
proved and beautified during the sea-
son extending from May 1st to August
10Th. 1908. Many contestants have
spoken to us regarding this, claiming
that they should not be expected to
compete against old established
lawns as the old lawns have an ad-
vantage which would be difficult to
overcome.

sEees IN ST. LOUIS.
Man Who Visited keokuk and In.
vestisated the Power Proposition
Is Non-Commital.

The following is from the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch and refers to Mr..
Beggs, who several months ago visit
ed Keokuk in company with Mr.. Pow
ellison and other st. Louis men:
John l. Beggs OF Milwaukee, who is
running the public service corpora
tions of st. Louis for the North
American Co., arrived in the city Mon
day. While Mr.. Beggs is here 1t is
expected that the question of wheth-
er Arthur Williams will return as
manager OF the Union Electric Light
and Power Co., will be determined.
w. v. N. Powellson, former presi-
dent and general manager of Union
Electric, who is associated with Hugh
T.. Cooper of New York, left st. Louis
Sunday night. Mr.. Powellson spent a
week in ST Louis in connection with
a water power electric plant that he
and Mr.. Cooper propose to erect at
Keokuk, Iowa.
Although Mr.. Powellson left st.
Louis before Mr.. Beggs arrived it is
understood that contracts are ready
for signature by which the local plant
will obtain electric current from the
keokuk power station.
Mr. Beggs refused to make any
| statement about his plans.
Capt. Robert Mccullough, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
United Railways. denies that he is to
| retire from the management OF the
transit system in the spring, as was
stated in a morning paper Monday.
1t was said the Captain would be
succeeded by his son, Richard, now
superintendent of construction, when
! the formers contract expired in April
Age was given as the reason for the
expected retirement of Capt McCul
loch. He denied that he ever had any
contract with the United Railways
and made the following statement tc
a Post-Dispatch reporter:
The writer of the story which ap
peared in morning paper drew or
his imagination for all he said, as
there is not even a suggestion of facts
in any part of the story which relates
to myself"

in The Gate City.
is READ WITH AvIDITY
Progress Has Been Of the Most sat.
lsfactcry Kind With Every In
dlcation Pointing to VI
innate Success.

The exclusive news printed
the past few evenings in The
Gate City with reference to the
water power has been read
with avidity by the people Of
Keokuk and the surrounding
towns. The developments Of
the past few days have been
very important and this paper
spared no time or cost or ener-
gy to keep in as close touch as
possible with the rapid devel-
opments, knowing that Keokuk
people were vitally concerned
in the proceedings. That pro-
gress, of satisfactory kind,
has been made is amply disclos-
ed in the proceedings of the Ke-
okuk and Hamilton Water
Power Co. reported on this
page. The purchase of the fran
chise, which required the in
vestment of $4,000 in cash,
and the assurances from Mr..
Cooper, backed with a substan-
tial cash forfeiture, that he in

all new features in the water
power proceedings and which
can have but one conclusion
the firm belief of the men be-
hind the scheme that they in
tend to build the power.
In passing it might not be
out of place to suggest that
now is favorable moment to
subscribe for The Gate City
and get the news while it is
news.

CHICAGO, Oct. Hitchcock to-

to New York next week to compile
the tables proving the prediction. He
predicted that Taft would carry New

A Small Per Cent.

Keokuk will not lose the benefits
expected from the building of the wa
ter power. Some people have put on
long faces and mournfully asked
What good will the water power do
Keokuk if the power is sold at st.
LOUISE"
1t should be realized that the entire
city of st. Louis could use but so per
cent of the power, leaving 70 per cent
to be distributed to other points and
to be used here in Keokuk.
Keokuk at the present time uses
less than 1000 horse power electric
The Keokuk water power plant will
generate 100000 horse power or just
one hundred times as much as Keo
kuk now uses.

ST. Louis is Not All.

st. Louis is not the only city which
will derive power from the Keokull
water power dam, but so far it is the
first one which has entered into any
kind of contract with the Keokuk
and Hamilton Water Power company.
Within lesser distance than ST.
Louis are many other large cities,
such as Peoria, Quincy Davenport,
Burlington, Ottumwa, all of which
would contract for from 1000 horse
power up. 1t would be to their in
terest to do so, for the Keokuk plant
can furnish electric power to com
panies at a lesser cost than they can
now produce it with steam.

T. F. BALDWIN.

And that about completes the story
OF the reorganization of the Keokuk
and Hamilton Water Power Company
which was organized by the late C. P.
Birge, nearly ten years ago. The new
company still retains the old name and
Keokuk is represented by one officer
and director, but the company's Office
is moved now from Keokuk to New
York City.

Cooper Gives Bond.

Mr.. Cooper has given the Keokuk
people bond for $4,000 that he will
build the water power.
He has pledged himself to them, to
either build the water power dam, or
forfeit $4,000 in cash
This was agreed upon at the meet
ing yesterday and Mr.. Cooper agrees
to pay $25 5000 to the Keokuk commit
tee in cash in case he does not build
the dam
This shows what Mr.. Cooper thinks
about the matter.
He has spent 100000 already him
self on surveys, plans, legislation, etc,
and is heart and soul in the work.
He had an option on the franchise
issued by the government of the Unit
ed States and yesterday, bought this
franchise. 1t was to be turned over
to him free of charge if he agreed to
build the dam and he not only agrees
to build it, but gives bond of $25,O0O
as a further promise that he will car
ry out the plans.
Everybody hopes that Mr.. Cooper
will never be called upon to make this
payment.
