Hamilton is becoming quite cosmo-

limits now contain colonies and in
dividuals from almost every foreign
country. While We have not yet
become "chesty' over the fact, still,
as the work here expands and de-

ere long our neighbors viii be forced

How Quincy Feels.
Structures Going Up.

The Quincy Herald in last evening s
issue publishes a half column story
which is very encouraging to its read
ers in many of the Illinois cities. The
article declares that it has private
adyices saying that the big dam here
is thoroughly financed. However.
all Keokuk people have for some
time felt confident that nothing can
deter the big promoters in pushing
the project through to a successful
consumation. The Heralds article,
one of those thoroughly optimistic
ones is as follows:
After struggling along for several
years, handicapped by lack of funds,
and buoyed up principally by an
excellent press bureau, and the op-
timistic interviews granted by it's
promoters, the Keokuk Dam Project,
has, according to private advices,
reaching the Herald last evening,
assumed definite status as prop
erly financed, capable engineered
undertaking, and from now on, the
work will proceed with all the com
prehensiveness and attention that
such an immense project demands
According to the Herald's advices
whose authenticity cannot be ques-
toned, the firm of Stone and Web
ster, contracting engineers of Boston
and Chicago, has taken charge of the
project and will carry it 10 complet-
ion. Dun's rating places the cap
ital of the firm at over million
dollars, and their financial standing
is of the very highest grade. This
firm never takes charge OF any pro
iect without there first being sufhc-
lent funds behind it, 10 enable it
to be carried through 10 complete
success. The name of Stone and
Webster connected with the Keokuk
dam is a synonym for its success.
Power to Quincy.
1t will take between ten and fiji
teen million dollars to build the
dam 1t will be over mile long,
close TO forty feet high, and will be
constructed directly in front OF the
city OF Keokuk. at the foot of what
is known as the Des Moines rapids.
There is drop of twenty feet in
these rapids, in less than ten miles,
and the water power to be gained
by this drop is enormous. Niagara
alone will furnish more power in
this country. The dam will be of
concrete, and behind it when COM
pleted, lake will extend, two miles
wide at It's narrowest point and forty
miles long. The water will be back
ed up as far as Burlington.
The power stations will be located
on the Keokuk side of the dam, it
is expected. From them an electrical
current will be transmitted to all
cities and villages within radius
of two hundred and fifty miles. st.
Louis will absorb large part OF
the power, her street car system and
many factories being operated from
the cheap electricity transmitted
from Keokuk. Quincy's factories
can all be run on much increased
scale. at a cost ridlculously small.
II will not be comparable with the
cost of operation now when either
steam or coal produced electricity is
used
