keokuk,s Good Iuok.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Unless something gets in the way
Keokuk is to grow and blossom like
the rose under the genial impulse OF
white coal" 1t Is repo4>d that an
eastern syndicate will finance the
building of the proposed great dam
from which 100000 horsepower is ex-
pected to be developed, which will
cost s15,000,000 as estimated and
which will back the Mississippi into
a lake thirty miles from Keokuk
north.
If the dam is built Keokuk will
spring into big city. AS she sits
beside the river today Keokuk is
rather a poor relation to the larger
cities along the upper Mississippi, her
development since the days of the
old time river activities when the
Iowa mills cut most of the lumber for
the Mississippi valley having been
delayed for one and another reasons.
But 100000 horsepower will drag

was adjourned unceremonious' few
days ago to permit the members pres
ent an opportunity of capturing a
young woman in nearby hom. where
wedding ceremony was to take place.
The young woman sought by the
leaguers was to be the bride, and the
excuse for the proceeding was that

fine spectacle? Just think of the
members of christian society deliber
ately planning to prevent a sacred
ordinance like that involving mar
riage ceremony! The Wapello wa.

port of their actions indicates that the

1t should be generally known in ad-
vance that many of the so-called
comic valentines in the form OF
postcards are unavailable and that
anyone depositing them in the mails
is subject to severe penalty. "All
matter upon the envelope or outside
cover or wrapper of which, or any
postal card upon which any delinea-
lions, epithets, terms or language =
of libelous, scurrilous, defamatory
or threatening character, or calculat-
ed by the terms or manner or style
of display and obviously intended to
reflect injuriously upon the character
or conduct of another may be written
or printed, or otherwise impressed or
apparent, are non-mailable matter and
shall not be conveyed in the mails. =
So reads the statue upon the subject.
The penalty for depositing such mat
ter in the mails for mailing or deliv-
cry is a fine of not more than $4,000,
or Imprisonment at hard labor not
more than five years, or both, at the
discretion of the court. All persons
tempted to get even with enemies,
real or fancied, by sending them sour
rilous cards would do well to take
warning and govern themselves ac-
cordingly.

CONSERVING THE BOYS.

The conservation of the boys of the
country is the title of a new move
ment inaugurated by the country-work
department OF the Young Mems
Christian Association. "The city
needs three out of five of the coun-
try boys" says John R. Broadman,
senior secretary of the department.
But the country needs the other
two"
The country work department of
the Y. NJ. C. A. is branch of which
little has been heard. Its objects as
outlined are as follows:
For the recognition of the inherent
value of country life in and for itself
The maximum development of con
structive forces in rural communities
The creation of new social com
munity in village and in open coun
try.
Deliverance from the enervating pa
ternalism of the city.
Better health and sanitation in farm
homes and country communities.
Redirected educational system
which will fit for life in the country
A more scientific type OF crop 20
duction and farm administration as
essential to greater satisfaction in
rural life.
A wholesome development of the
recreative life.
Dominance of Christian ideals ir
the character of the manhood an6
! boyhood of the country
The work has been carried on for
some time, and has been recognized
/ by the federal administration to the
extent of seeking its extension into
the areas of the reclamation projects
in the west 1t is devoted to the in
/ terests of the country youth, and co
operates with the city departments in
| looking after him when he removes
to the city.

WATER POWER AT Ia CROSSE.

While Keokuk is going forward with
the largest power scheme in the his
tory of the Mississippi valley, plans
are nearing completion at the offices
of the La Crosse Water Power COM
pany for the greatest dam and reser-
yoir in Wisconsin, one which, when
completed, will store five billion cubic
feet of water, or more than all the
other reservoirs of the company COM
bined.
In this reservoir alone there will be
enough water reserve to furnish both
Winona and La Crosse with electricity
for a period of Ave months were no
water available, The Dubuque Times-
Journal gives the following interesting
particulars:
The new dam is to be built across
the mouth of Rock Creek, at the
east fork of Black river, and the work
will be started as soon as possible
after the spring break UP of the ice.
A large crew will be put to work and
the company expects to finish the dam
during the year 1910 and will probably
have at least a part of the reserve for
use by next fall So large Will be the
lake created by the new dam that it
will extend from the mouth of Rock
Creek nearly to City Point, and in
some places will be three and one-half
miles wide"
President w. j. Ferris is quoted as
saying that the lake win be easily
filled when created and that once filed

A Triumph for keokuk.

CORN (Mo,) Argus: This certainly
is a triumph for Keokuk. We can re-
member when the canal was being
built, the citizens of that city were
in great ecstacies but now, that the
Father of Waters is to be damned
and the mighty stream barnessed and
made to work for man In another way
beside navigation, we see no reason
why every citizen of that place should
not be IN ecstacies. Laborers OF that
city and adjoining towns need not
be idle for a long time. Traiy Keo-
kuk is to be congratulated.

COST OF LIVING.

A writer for the New York journal
of Commerce will undertake to ex-
plain the increased cost Of living in
series of articles. He starts out by
saying that no materia! relief can
come from legislation, since most of
the causes for advanced prices, tar
IFS and monopolies excepted, are
beyond the reach of legislation. But
discussion will serve the purpose of
revealing the reasons more clearly
and satisfying public opinion until
relief or compensation comes from
natural causes or a general readjust-
ment to the new level The influences
which control prices are listed al fol-
lows:
Increased Gold Supply.
Currency Imitation.
Expansion of Credit.
Speculation.
Growth of Population.
Consumption Oyertaking Produc-
ton.
Short Crops.
Shorter Hours of Labor.
Advanced Wages.
Increased Cost Of Production.
Tariffs.
Trusts.
Trade Agreements.
Legislative Restrictions.
Creation of New Industries.
Advance in Land and Rent.
Taxation.
extravaganza, etc

The Jacksonville Courier rars.

I'm some respects the Keokuk
water project resembles the Panama
canal. Already it is figured that it
will cost 100000 more than the
original estimate of $4,000, 000.'
The Courier is in error as to the
total cost. The revised estimate puts
the cost of the plant, dry docks, new
lock and the overflow damages at
s15,ooo,o00, The 100000 additional
includes the cost of the transmission
line to st. Louis. This makes the
total cost s23Ooo,ooO instead of so1,.
100000, as the Courier has it.
