Would Close Home Plant.

should say that the construction
OF the dam and power plant along the
lines laid down would simply mean
that the Hannibal electric plant could
and would be closed down as soon as
power from there could be delivered
in this city" said A. NJ. Nipper, super
intendent of the Hannibal Electric
Light and Power company. There is
no question whatever in my mind but
that power as manufactured by water
power could be delivered here cheap
er than we could make it ourselves
and prbably in sufficient qauntity to
meet the needs of the city for a long
have seen OF the keokuk company |
understand the company viii in no
sense be distributors OF the current
and If the lines are brought here 70
include Hannibal in the territory sup
piled they would simply deliver the
current to the city and the city dis
tribute it as is now done. They could
not sell current here without fran
chise. We could probably close down
our plant and simply hold it for use
in case Of emergency. They could de-
liver power here practically without
loss and the cost of current should
be very little, ii any. greater here than
in Keokuk The carrying of the cur
rent is a comparatively easy task once
the facilities for making it are at
hand
Would Attract Factories.
Sydney J. Roy, secretary Of the
! Commercial club, believed the project
would add greatly TO the industrial
advantages Hannibal could offer and
many manufacturing concerns could
be attracted here if the plans for the
dam and power plant are carried
through. Hannibal has advantages
of transportation over any other city
on the Mississippi river between St.
Paul and St Louis" said he, .and we
are already offering cheaper electric
( power than any other city in the
/ valley. With these advantages which
1 cannot be removed the additional re-
/ duction in the cost OF electric power
will make this point more attractive
than ever TO manufacturers looking
I for advantageous location l am
not very familiar with the manufac-
ture and carrying Of electric power
4 but | see no reason why power could
not Be delivered here almost If not
quite at cheaply as in Keokuk and as
/ in the past We will compete with
/ Quincy, Keokuk, Ottumwa and the
other river towns on the basis of
/ transportation but with increased adj
yantages."

There is absolutely no way of reach
ing the nerves with medicine except
through the blood The nerves receive
all of their nourishment and support
from the blood which, under healthful
conditions, carries the elements needed
TO rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
Let the blood become deranged and
deficient in these elements and the nerves
will be badly nourished and headaches,
neuralgia. sciatica, functional paralysis
and a host of other nervous troubles
may result.

More Interurhan Roads.

TO me the Keokuk dam means not
only cheaper power in Hannibal but
a network of interurban lines all over
northeast Missouri that viii result in
an amazing development in this sec.
ton, said ] P. Hinton, president of
the Commercial club. In fact / think
the electric railway features Of the
prospect are more important than the
others here where We have a large
section of country yet untouched by
electric roads. I believe there will be
"a considerable loss of power in trans.
hitting current this far bur not to Sc
riously interfere with giving us all we
viii require The city's plant is now
furnishing power at such low price
that a reduction in the rates such as
even a water power plant might offer
would not make q great difference to
local consumers. The big dam viii
certainly mean much 10 Hannibal and
should result in rapid development
here"

road and expressed himself as delight
ed with the announcement that the
big dam was TO be constructed. 1T
adds much to the value of our project
and will create much more interest in
II, said he. There is no doubt but
that all the power We win need and
much more could be furnished from
Keokuk as the St Louis roads are
planning to use 1t. Things are look
ing brighter for US every day and the
Keokuk dam has been the last stroke
of importance as it means cheap pow
err that will enable us to penetrate
with our road the richest agricultural
district in the world hut one where
the population is not OF itself gufi-
cient to justify an interurban unless
supported as ours has been by the
farmers themselves. Wcsk has been

A communication from the H. An
drews Desk company was read and
filed. The bill for new desks for the
George washington school is 81, 102 %,
application for which was made by
the manufacturers although the desks
were delayed a number of weeks in
arriving. The date of delivery was
November 10 but the desks were not
delivered until a short time ago.
Chairman L. A. Hamill of the build
ing committee of the new school re-
ported that the building had been ex-
amined by that committee and there
were but one or two minor matters
needing attention, one of them
being small amount of
plastering needed around the
steam pipes where they enter the
corridor and a small defect in the
floor of the basement which will be
corrected by the contractor.
A gift of a bust of George Wash
fngton has been presented the new
George washington school and its
disposition will be looked after by
Superintendent Aldrich. The com
mittee in charge of the reception OF
the gift was ordered to extend vote
of thanks to the gentlemen for their
presentation of the bust

Company does not fall due for sixty

On motion of Director Hamill, it
was ordered that the superintendent
see that strong chicken wiring was
placed over the nine or more windows
in the boys and girls play rooms of
the new school, to insure them
against being broken in the games
that will be played in the lower apart
ments.
On motion of Mr.. Hamill, it was
ordered that a hood be placed over
the furnace door entrance of the new
school, to keep the snow and ice and
other elements from getting into that
apartment.
