honors. They had plenty of dash, cool
and yet playing with rush, Keokuk

Ottumwa were responsible for many
points. while their defensive work and
rushes were good They were Mier,

Mier was much more ambidextrous

ponent Allen was responsible for
four of the ten field goals made by
Keokuk. while Mier made seven of the
twenty-four made by his team. Thorpe
may be regarded as Ottumwa's really
strong player if his work is an evil
dence of his customary work. As a
defensive guard for covering his man
he is excellent, for he held C. King
down cleverly, at the same time op-
portunely leaving his position to rush

basket shooting was good. Johnson,

Would Build Entirely New.

1t is shown that to remove the plant
in this manner and rebuild would
mean that entire new machinery
would have to be purchased and the
old disposed of by the company as
best could be done To rebuild in this
manner would consume about years
time, and in order not to have the city
shut off from power in the interim,
the new plant would have to be con-
structed while the old one is still in
operation Another additional and
heavy expense in reconstruction of
this kind would be the relaying OF
heavy wires going from the plant to-
the center Of distribution, which is
Main street. New poles, thousands
OF dollars Of copper wire, and much
labor would incur great expense.
