and ice. The water power was there,
also. At every town were mills and
factories using the cheap power.
For the past fifteen years there
has been very noticeable increase in
the volume Of water in the Des Moines
river This has been brought about
by the extensive system of thing and
draining Of the farming lands along
the valley. The tributaries tlaye been
throwing more water into the river
than In former years.
During this period Of fifteen years
there has been ample water for steam
boats for from four anG one half to
five months each year.

Would Cut Freight Rates.

With the constant increase in the
cost of fuel and the Introduction Of
electricity, the people are fast going
back to water power. So that in my
opinion the revenue from the lease
of the power generated by these twen-
ty-eight dams would soon return to
the government. the entire cost Of the
work and leave sufficient balance
to maintain it. The operation of
steamboats, and barges upon the Des
Moines rive would also at once re-
duce the present freight rates at least
so per cent, to all river and lake
points. The saving in freight charges
to the shippers of Des Moines and OF
tumwa in two years would be sum
cient to pay for tie entire work.

The hour for leaving Of the mem
bers OF the Keokuk motor boat club
has been set for Sunday morning at
nine o'clock, when Captain Decker,
John Leisy. c. E. Phillips and several
others OF the X. M. B. club will leave
the boat houses for Burlington, arriv-
ing there some time in the afternoon.
Large numbers will go from this
city by boat and rail on Monday and
Tuesday to be in attendance at the
great river regatta and Keokuk is ex-
pected by the up river city, to 40 her
part in the way of sending a large
and representative crowd.
There will be no racing boats from
Keokuk to go to the regatta but some
of the finest pleasure boats on the
river will help to hold up this end of
the affair.

Good for Boating

Tie boating season in this latitude
is seven months, so that the only thing
needed is to provide for the dry
months, July and August, or the low
water season upon all the rivers.
This year the Des Moines will make
a record of five months of good water.
We have already had more, than four
months of it, with an average stage
Of eight feet. Last year it was. about
the same. The only Instructions to
navigation between Des rioines and
the mouth of the river during the five
months are the tight dam at Ottumwa
and the low bridges. The bridges
have an average height of about
twenty-four feet and o low powerful
tug boat, with its barges would go
under them.
In an opinion rendered by the at
torney general of Iowa in 1894 he
said: The rivers of Iowa belong to
the state and are for The use of all
persons. No person or persons have
the legal right to obstruct such rivers
against another person or persons
Under this decision, given to me when
was state boat inspector, such
bridges can be declared distractions
and the owners compelled to remove
them or put draw spans in them.

ask her if she will not have tea, etc.
Should she not wish the beverage be-
ing poured at that end of the table,
the woman who is seated may speak
to the friend at the other end of the
board and say that a cup OF coffee is
wished. Thus the woman who has
been outside finds herself, perforce,
brought in and in a few moments may
be chatting pleasantly.
However much one may wish to
talk to a special friend at such a
time, woman who is assisting in the
dining room has no right to allow any
one person to monopolize her atten-
ton. It cannot be done without neg
lect to other guests. and it is most un-
fair to the hostess.

What Guests Should DO
By Emily Ellsworth

A fine line is that drawn between
consideration of hostess and neglect
of her. To be always under the foot
of the woman in whose house one may
be staying is to render guest decid-
eddy unpopular. and yet to keep away
too much is rude.
The exact conduct of guest must
necessarily be regulated by conditions.
An exacting hostess requires more
time than one whose life is we'll filled
and who likes to have a few moments
to herself at intervals No woman,
whether hostess or guest, cares to be
ignored and to prevent even the ap-
pearance of this is matter about
which visitor cannot be too careful.
A woman who visits many weeks
each year has laid down for herself
general line of conduct that works
excellently, although sometimes it
must be varied. When she is in a
house where there are plenty of SER
wants she does not go down to break
fast, thereby relieving the hostess OF
her presence at the time when the
head of the house may have many
things to attend to or else may not
care to see visitor. Having taken
this time to herself and given her hos
tess chance to be alone. the guest
materializes about 10 o'clock and
hunts out the other in sitting room
or other general meeting place. If the
hostess is not to be found, then the
friend concludes that she is busy. and
SO with book or fancy work waits un-
til her hostess arrives. BY that time
1t is taken for granted that house
hold arrangements have been made
and that the hostess time is free
The careful guest watches to see If
to write. and If she thinks such is the
case she gives the opportunity. either
by going out Of the room or asking,
her friend to write regardless of her
presence.
BY the middle of the morning there
probably will be some special engage
ment for both, or else the two may sit
together and talk until lunch time,
and in the afternoon there win GER
visitor must conform and il she has
friends In the same city who wish to
entertain her they will be expected to
invite her hostess at the same time.
There may be conditions under which
4 guest occasionally can be asked
without the hostess. but when this
happens the utmost care must be taxi
en- to make up In some way, that the
friend shall not feel sighted.
When the same woman visits in a
house where the servants are few she
makes a point of getting up to break
fast. except where she Is urged not to
appear There are some women who
prefer that their visitors should not
breakfast with the family and instead
send trays to their rooms. This leaves
the hostess much freer as regards
time In the morning
From the breakfast table the guest
says that she has q few notes to write
