VERY MUCH HARD WORK
Interest In the Enterprise Has In
creased Since the Arrival Of the
Chief Englneer-Here
Several Days.

Naturally the arrival Of the water
power men in the city has intensified
the interest in the project and there
has been considerable talk on the
street and in shops and business
offices. To Keokuk the building of
the big dam is momentous issue and
any news about it is read with avidity.
The reluctance on the part of the men
who are trying to negotiate the deal
to say that they will build the dam
only intensifies the desire of the com.
munity to know just what is going to
become OF the big venture, but surely
Keokuk can not accuse them Of
spreading any false hopes. When an
individual puts more than 100000
Into a project it indicates his personal
faith, but it is not conclusive evidence
that he will be successful to get others
to put millions or an equival-
ent amount Of money into it. The best
that Keokuk can see from the present
activity is that Mr.. Cooper has not
abandoned the enterprise and is work
ing harder than ever to .consummate
deal in which he has the greater
interest.

value to the general progress of for.
estry of the United States, as well as
to the institutions which teach fores

employs so many of their graduates,
and which is virtually interested in the
training of foresters. Such a con

eational work in the field of forestry.

remarks about each other at the
White House. The speaker called
upon the president and when he was
leaving the executive Offices made this
answer to a question as to the fight in
the house:
'The amendments to the rules have
greatly improved them. All this stuff
about the speaker being a car is the
purest tommy rot. There has never
been a time when the majority could
not control the house. What they
wanted to do was to make the COM
mittee of fifteen cars, dominated by
Champ Clark and La Toilette. That
is also tommy rot. La Toilette is a
fake"
When Representative Champ Clark
called on President Taft later and
was told what the speaker said he
answered briefly:
"Uncle Joe has paresis."
MI. Clark would not comment fur
Their except to say that the amend
ments to the rules amount to very

Crisis Between Austria-Hungary and
Servia.
Berlin, March 17.-Advices received
at the foreign Office concerning the
strained situation between Austria
Hungary and Servia indicate that the
crisis is still in an acute stage. It ia.
affirmed that Austria-Hungary is about
to make another effort at Belgrade
with the view of bringing Servia's
views into accord with her own. The
nature of these representations is not
disclosed, but it can be said that the
dual monarchy will demand a clear
explanation of Servia's intentions.
Officials say that if Servia comedies
this the negotiations will pursue a
peaceful course, but II not hostilities
are inevitable and the only task of
the powers will be to localize the con-
flict.
The report that Turkey will demand
an explanation of Servia's intention
with regard to the large quantity of
val material now lying at Saloniki
has been officially confirmed. Should
the reply be unsatisfactory an en-
barge will be placed on the supplies
at Saloniki. In the meanwhile Servia
has arranged to procure munitions Of
warsand stores via Bulgaria, but pres
sure will be brought upon Turkey to
prevent the passage of military sup
plies through the Dardanelles.
