Facts About Big Warehouse.

rels.
viii be twelve feet high and cover
an area of 1920 square feet.
Amount that can be stored in it will
be turned over every eight days, as
the amount of cement necessary when
work is going on will be 1,2OO barrels
per day.
Excavations are already being made
just above the road and below the
Old site OF the company's Office.
Cement to be stored in it will in
all probability come from Hannibal,
but no contract has been let as yet.
Similar structure will be built on
Iowa side in the spring.
The Keokuk and Hamilton Water
Power company has begun initial
work on the building Of a large ce-
ment warehouse, that will be mon.
ster of its kind and the construction
OF which will cost quite sum of
money, Early excavations are being
made today and score of carpenters
VIII be put to work as soon as the
foundation has been laid.
The enormity of the structure can
be gained from few Dimensions and
the amount of cement that will be
housed during the thirty months Of
dam construction
144 Feet in L ennth
In length the warehouse will be IA
feet; in width SO feet; and in height
( ~ feet. This means that it will
cover an area of 7,200-square feet and
will hold, If the cement was shoveled
IN loosely like so much dirt, Sc, 400
cubic feet of this material
The capacity in barrels will be 10,-
600. When work on the dam is GO
ing on as fast as the company can
lush It 1.200 barrels will be used
daily from the Illinois side alone.
This means that the entire capacity OF
the warehouse will be completely turn
ed over every eight days, or in but
little more than weeks time.
Probably Come From Hannibal.
While no contract has been let as
vet it is likely that Hannibal will
furnish all of the cement used by the
water power company. It is thought
that contract will be made in a short
time as the company will soon have
use for this material in the construc-
ton which will soon be under way
1t has been announced that struc.
ture OF similar nature will be built
on the Iowa side some time this
spring, possibly in few months. This
Will be needed as soon as work starts
on this side of the river.
Lines all Made.
During the past few days employees
OF the company have been busily en-
Gagged stalking out the lines for this
warehouse and excavation is under
way today. 1t will be built just above
the river road, and below the site Of
the O'Harra house, which has been
Used by the company for an office
and was recent moved some one
hundred yards up to the north
It is difficult to approximate just
how many barrels of cement will be
used in the dam construction, but at
least 100000 will be needed in the
work This will mean big haul for
some railroad, and quite contract
for the firm making the lowest bid.

NINE FAITHFULS LINE UP AT
THE TARGET
PRACTICE FOR MATCH SHOOT AT
scHUETZEN PARK
A. Nj. Smith Wins Hoegee Handicap
Media in Revolver Club CON-
test on the Bishop Street
Range

Nine backsliders of the Los Angeles
Rife and Revolver club sidestepped
church Sunday and appeared at the
Glendale range for a practice shoot,
held as preliminary to the Southern
| California rifle match at Schuetzen
park, scheduled for March 20.
No attempt was made to make
record scores. the shoot being more
for experiment and for the purpose of
sighting up rifles than for any regular
shooting.
E. d. Nichols showed that the sins
of omission and commission laid the
lightest on his mind. landing a good As
at 500 yards and holding up a good
average at the other ranges.
Crossman got a 46 at 200 yards,
which. with E. D. Nichols As, were
about the only high scores bored out.
Shifting light and variable winds kept
the totals down. even had the mix
lures of ammunition and the tiddling
with sights not done so.
Z. c. Price, a new convert to the
club, turned out with a sporting rife
and demonstrated that he would be
in the winning class with a military
arm He placed an order for a new
Springfield and it is expected that he
will develop into IA topnotcher with
practice.
Crawford, Kellogg. Umsted and Irv-
ing did not appear, apparently feeling
that they were in a class that required
no practice. The merits of this idea
will be demonstrated next Sunday.
1t is rumored that Kellogg and Nc
Mannon retired to a secluded spot near
the city with pair of double barreled
swords to settle the little difficulty
that arose over an appropriation of
Kelloggs property by the said McMan
non last sunday. Judging by KEEL
loggs scores one week ago, he will be
brought back feet first if good marks
manship is required to keep his hide
whole
The club has gained eight members
during the past month, among them
being Stewart Edward White of Santa
Barbara, who owns over twenty New
Springfield rifles, in addition to the
club gallery rifle used in the indoor
matches of the n. r. A. Indoor league.
Through the clubs having the only
half way respectable range in the
vicinity of Los Angeles it is becom-
ing quite popular among those wishing
to shoot the military rifle. The Har-
ward school uses the club ranges on
Saturday, while a company of the
local militia has leased the range Tor
two Sundays a month pending the
completion of the militia range, even
the site of which is unknown at the
present writing. Plans are being made
to install an 800 and 1000 yard range
on the Glendale property, in which
case the club will have the only ranges
of this distance nearer than Santa
Ana.
Sunday the club tackles the South
ern California Rifles on the range at
Schuetzen park in a return match. 1t
is probable that the conditions will
allow any number to shoot, the high
eight men to count as the teams for
each club. BY this scheme any MEM
Der wishing to shoot can do so, and
the team is made up of the best men
from the actual scores, instead Of by
somebody's judgment or past records.
Scores made in practice yesterday:

his home at Kenosha, Wis, to the
effect that he expects to arrive mere
about March n. and that he also eX-
meets to land Danny Webster for MS
next opponent. Conley writes enter
tainingly of his plans, but emphasizes
his oft-repeated declaration that no
challenger will be considered until IL
is agreed that negotiations are to be
based on the 45-rOund route. He says
that he has received innumerable OF

fers of matches down east, but has
turned down all of them because they
were short winded affairs, and he will
not think of anything less than forty
five rounds
McCarey is unable to announce the
date of the Conley- Webster scrap at
this time, as it will depend upon the
arrival of Conley from the east He
wanted to stage it March 30 but that
will be out of all question now that
Conley says he will not get here until
March 81. 1t will be put on the first
or second week in April, in all prob
ability. Both boys have signed articles
of agreement with McCarey, and the
match is closed in all details except
the date.
Scraps at San Pedro Tuesday Night
Another attractive card has been
arranged by AL Heinze, matchmaker Of
the San Pedro Athletic club, for the
Tuesday night show at the harbor
city club. Heinze is a believer in long
distance scraps, and has matched Joe
Casey and Jim Cameron for a 25-round
session as the main event. Two four
round preliminaries will precede the
main event. as follows: Joe Livermore
VS.. Chester Moss and Young Pico VS..
Kid Fowler Quite large delegation
attended the last show at San Pedro
and had a big time and lots of enter
tainment. and Heinze announces that
he has arranged for special service
over the Pacific Electric railway for
Tuesday night. so that all the Los
Angeles cranks who desire to attend
the scrap may rest assured that they
will get back home the same night.
