"What a Girl Can Do

is creating quite a sensation wher-
ever produced for two reasons. First
its the first starring tour of Roy La
MARI Second it's a great play out of
the ordinary. brilliant in construction,
bright in lines and like HALEY
Comet has sweeped the country.
Nothing to offend still teaching a
great moral lesson to old and young
and sending you home from the
theatre with a feeling of BITTERNESS
for having seen real clean Ameri-

been paid to its settings and se1ec-

Many Business Men are Enthused
With Idea of Having a Mon
stcr Building fer Practical
Purposes.
SOMETHING or DETAILS
The Plan is to have Good Headquar
tiers for Company as Well as
Big Auditorium for Public
Meetings.
Keokuk people are interested

Keokuk people are interested in
knowing what action is being taken
with regard to the armory proposition,
now that the military company is we'll
organized and learning much in its
early schooling. Several plans are
under consideration, but the one most
preferred is that previously outlined in
this paper. Under it all interested
could subscribe large or small
amount as their circumstances would
permit. The armory structure would
be as two separate buildings under
common roof. The front section would
provide quarters. locker rooms, a read
ing room and an Office for the comp
any and its officers on the second
flower. The lower flower would be
devoted to the commercial organiza-
ton of the city. The rear section
would comprise an immense hall to
be utilized as drill hall + 5 com
pany and also as convs hall
The capacity would be no les han g.
900 seats and it would be fitted with
modern appliances used in UP to date
convention halls, consisting of dis
appearing stage, kitchen in the base
ment and facilities for serving large
banquets.
The value of such building to the
city can hardly be estimated 1t would
enable Keokuk to bring the states
largest conventions here, hold public
entertainments of almost any size and
1yivn fn ha cif q
could be put to innumerable uses. The
argument is advanced by some that the
same amount of money used for an
armory should be used to bring factor
les to the city. In reply to this ar
gn9 business man Saturday said:
= .dea is entirely wrong. Good
factories will not come to dead town
for any amount of bonus and poor
factories we don't want. All improve
ments of this kind stamp live, wide
awake place"
No single committee Or two or three
persons are expected to do all the
work of raising funds for the building
OF an armory. The practicability of
the plan depends upon the willingness
" SFei5ohs " neip little. EXPIRES
sions or opinions from any one are
welcome. and The Gate City would be
glad to receive them. A mass meet
inr will be held soon, for it is appar-
ent that Keokuk wants a building OF
this kind.
Everything in connection with Com.

of supplies for the company has been
received and other goods viii be re

There are still a few vacancies in the.

INTERURBAN TALK
Letter From MIR. Heating of Muskegon
More Railroads, Less Taxation
Muskegon, Mich, May ii, 1910.
To the Belding Banner,

Muskegon, Mich, May ii, 1910.
To the Belding Banner,
Belding, Mich.
My Dear Sir: 81 am in receipt of
the marked copy OF your paper, dated
May p, commenting on my suggestion
that an interurban road from here TO
Flint via Bedding and OwoSso; there to
connect and become part of the Detroit
United Railroad system, would be a
good thing for all towns interested in
such road.
81 am aware that owing TO the high
rate of taxes imposed upon railroads in
Michigan and the adverse treatment
that railroads are receiving in this state
renders ii difficult to construct new
lines. The time will come when the
5tsstC WI lave ~ Gsthc "a more IaN OfaOic
position towards the railroad interests
of this state and reduce this enormous
taxation now imposed. 1t is simply
'Plundering the goose that lays the
golden egg and stands in the way of
new lines.
"Money is being accumulated from
this class of taxation in many school
districts instead of being used, and ii is
far better TO have more railroads and
less taxation money of this kind.
believing that this situation will
come, / have advocated in the Muske-
gon paper the construction of an inter
urban road from here TO Flint through
new territory and to all the towns in
terested. | do not believe ii is necessary
10 construct interurban roads from
station To station along the line of old,
established steam roads; there is plenty
of room in new territory, and if the
policy is followed out of building into
new territory and not in competition
with steam roads, there will come a
greater railroad building in the state
of Michigan, and railroads, both steam
and electric, are what the people need.
81 wish TO thank you as one person
who believes in these things, and for
the space you have given TO the adop-
ton of this proposition.
81 do not think Muskegon wants To
kill the steam roads it has coming in
here, while it is strongly in favor OF
getting more interurban roads into new
country.
"Thanking you, / am
Very respectfully yours,
l.. n. Heating"

sum from the expense of construction,
and you will see that this new inVen-
ton so reduces the expense of operating
this interurban road; and where they
have good line like this; one that can
be constructed and operated in spite of
the adverse treatment that railroads
are now getting from the state.
81 am sure the people of Muskegon
will do all they can TO help build and
promote such road.
Sat the junction in this township
this new road could connect with all
the electric roads in this city by extend
ing the Muskegon street railway line
from its Pine or Sanford street connec-
tons TO the junction. | am advocating
this new railroad on its merits and am
trying TO get the connecting towns in
line TO helpit.
"The new water power combination
is trying To combine the water powers
of west Michigan for electric purposes,
headed by Mr.. Foote of Jackson, Mich
igan, and stockholders in this city, il is
rep01ted, has the Flint street railway
line in its possession. Whether they
are going 10 extend the Flint railway
line TO Muskegon To connect with the
street railway line here, / know not,
but il is certain that if they did, il
would be good thing for both city
roads.
81 only quote this TO you as one of
the contingencies that we may have To
look at in case the Detroit United Rail
road Company does not extend here.
This new line should not meet the
hostility of the steam roads in this city
for ii runs into new territory and
will take and bring them business.
Very truly yours,
l.. n. Heating"
