ject During His Address on
Waterways at Banquet
in Peoria.
HE BELIEVES IN I.
IT KNOCKS MAN sENsELEss HE
Was Chairman of National Committee
For Many Years and Has Given
the Matter Considerable
Thought.

Senator Burton of Ohio, who de-
feated Foraker for the senate and who
as a congressman was for years the
chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee of congress, has the Keo-
kuk water power on his mind and is
deeply interested with the subject
He passed down the river few
years ago with the committee and at
that time, was made acquainted with
all of the features of the Keokuk wa
ter plan. He has always been in touch
with the project on account of his
committee work and is favorable to
the proposition.
Saturday evening at Peoria, the
Manufactures Association held ban
quet at which Senator Burton was the
chief speaker. He talked for over an
hour upon water ways and during his
remarks spoke of the vast water pow
err going to-, waste in the Mississippi
valley. He stated that the water pow
er plant to be built at Keokuk would
be one of the first to harness the vast
power and also mentioned the fact
of the building of the dam being a
great aid to navigation at this point.
AS An Authority.
In his hour speech he but mentioned
the Keokuk water power project as
his talk covered wide ~<nge, but his
mention of it, shows that the project
is in his mind and that ne considers
it not only feasible and a great bene.
fit, but an assured fact. Senator Bur
ton is considered to be one of the hest
informed citizens in the United States
on waterways matters and his opinion
is valued one. He has been of much
assistance in the past to the Keokuk
water power plan during the legisla
ton necessary to pass the various bills
| for the franchise and since being
elected senator has evidentally not
forgotten the project.
1t was not SO many days ago that at
a meeting OF business men in st
Louis, the Keokuk water power was
mentioned favorably and It has be
come one of the topics talked over
whenever business men in the big
cities of the west gather together tc
talk over big projects and matters
which are contemplated to benefit the
commercial world
AT the banquet in Peoria on Satur
day, Ralph B. Lourie of Moline, g
former Keokuk boy and son of H. NJ
Lourie, was on the program as one OF
the speakers, but was unable to attend
the meeting.

by a rear window route when they
were frightened away by Mrs, Brown
who lives over the store. They came

ing very industriously to get in the
window. One man stood on a barrel

Mr.. Brown. He called to his wife to
get his gun and ne would Inquire who

were on the scene and an Investiga-

could be gathered pointed towards the
guilt of certain parties. This morn
ing the Landis-Harris hounds were
put on the trail, The dogs went to
a house on the side of the hill, about
two hundred and fifty yards from the
store. The dogs did not hesitate in
the least. They took up the scent and
dashed off so briskly that 1t was hard
for the trainers to follow.
