The Keokuk and Hamilton Water
Power company today commenced the
work OF placing the first concrete in
the east abutment Of the dam. and
now it can be said that the actual
construction Of the dam which ID to
extend in a straight line across the
Mississippi for 400 feet, is on. The
excavation for the east abutment was
begun when work first opened up early
In the spring and has been partially
extended to the present water edge.
1t is the intention of the company to
place the concrete near the river i'm.
mediateiy, because the present low
stage of the Mississippi offers adj
vantages which cannot be had when
the river is at a higher level. This
work at the present time will prove
far less expensive than should it be
delayed until the river is at such a
stage that water must be pumped out.
More Machinery Ordered.
Orders were placed today for rock
crusher plants to be located on both
sides Of the river. The new derrick
arrived today and is being installed
on the works at Hamilton. Two more

Fort Madison Sewer.


gineer NJ. e. Bannon was in Keokuk
Wednesday for consultation with tho
Water Power Co. and Government En-
gineer Major Meigs, concerning Fort
Madison matters that Mayor Johns
and the city council desired informa-
ton about.
With the water power people he
talked over the Fort Madison sewer
system, which will be interfered with
to a considerable extent by the high
stage Of water that will be caused
here by the building of the great
dam. The matter was carefully gone
over and the initial steps were taken
toward a solution of the problem. Mr..
Bannon will present a report to the
city council at its regular January
meeting. The matter is an import
ant one to the city-one that will re-
-quire much attention during the COM
ing two or three years. Fairness
seems to be an attribute of the Water
Power Co. managers and the matter
will probably be worked out to a fair
solution without undue friction, even
though that desired result is not like
ly to be obtained without consider
ible expense to the Water Power Co.
and our city.

After an exchange of many tele-
grams and letters Manager Smitt OF
the Grand has at last secured what is
without a doubt the greatest novelty
in moving pictures, the famous Ex-
traganza, "The Wizard of o." When
the extravaganza was produced In
Chicago it was considered the great
est triumph in mechanical and see
nical effects. the moving picture of
the Wizard of Or has all these sf.
fects, but with the devices patented
in the past two years. the Kansas Cy-
clone is even more real than in or
iginal production, the "Escapades Of
the Scarecrow." Tinman, Little Dor
othy and her animal pets, are all de-
picted in this picture. 1t can safely
be said that crowded houses will be
the rule at the Grand this week. AL
so from all reports received the
vaudeville bill is of the best. Latsos-
