faulty. but that won't help us any.
Every time we speak of the city's
population some one will refer to
one OF those handy little vest pocket
memorandum books, giving the pop

Canada has a law which prohibits
strikes until after due notice and
submission of the grievance to the
state board of arbitration. However,
the trainmen on the Grand Trunk
did strike without due notice and
without submission of grievances to
the state board OF arbitration. That
is what some people would call a
condition, and not a theory.

cent visit TO Louisville:
Glen J. Whittemore. formerly as
slstant Encouragement of Kentucky
and one of the most prominent poll
ticians in the state for number of
years, is back in the blue grass on a
vacation. For several years Mr..
Whittemore has been practicing law

one of the greatest centers of popu-

clares that no city of the country

to go and TO make money and that
he has come back to tell some of his
friends where they ought to be. Mr..
Whittemore is wearing a few spark
lers as big as headlights as an evil
dence of the fact that the west has
treated him pretty well.-Cincinnati

Concrete Plants to be Suit

SS'S'SsS t0blo " NO PQltki
1t Is understood that craftsmen here
have completed the final draft Of the
concrete mixing plants that are to be
installed by the company, and that
drawings have been sent to the New
York office and approved It was stat.
ed today that bids had been received
from several companies who would
furnish mixers for these plants, but as
yet none have been accepted.
The concrete mixing plants will be
built, one On the Illinois side and one
on the Iowa side The plant on the
illinois side will naturally be construct
ed first, and will be situated near the
east end of the dam. From what can
be learned Of the plans the building to
be constructed will be less than one
hundred feet In length and will be sim
liar In many ways to the one construct
ed for the McCalls Ferry project. The
two plants will differ materially in
size. the one on the Iowa side having
a much greater capacity and compris-
ing more mixers. According to pres
ent plans the Illinois plant will have
an output of 1000 cubic yards of con-
crete per day and will be composed
of six mixers; the one on the Iowa
side a capacity of 1900 cubic yards
| per day with eight mixers.
Something About Construction.
The plant on the Illinois side will
4 be a two-story affair with railroad
/ tracks entering the second story,which
will contain bins for receiving crushed
rock, sand and cement Below, on
the first floor will be the six concrete
mixers clustered into what Is known
] as battery. 1t is estimated that the
cost of these mixers will be about
/ $1,000 each.
The Water Power Co.. has received
a carload of rails which are being
laid from the quarry. The work in
general across the river is broadening
out to considerable extent.
A recent issue of the Iron Age stat
4 ed that the Keokuk and Hamilton
Water Power Company has asked the
kllis-Chalmers Co. which is an cleo
trical firm in Milwaukee, for bids or
machinery. The company's secretary
has received numerous letters. from
firms all over the country asking tha
they be given the opportunity to bic
on machinery that will be needed il
the process of construction. The bids
are being received and 1t Is Though
that contracts will soon be made.

Institutions Which Comprise Mississippi River
Power Company, Of Portland, Maine, Are
Believed to be Knownby The Gate City.
SIX FIRMS ARE NAMED AS IN ON IT
Stone and Webster Only One Whose Name Has
Heretofore Been Mentioned Something
About the Physical Work

The filing Of articles of incorpora-
ton by the Mississippi River Power
Company, at Portland, Me-, and the
positive statement made by those
connected with the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power Co., that the mon
ey for the enterprise had been sub
scribed, are the two recent pieces of
important news that have drifted in
from the east. The organization fea-
ture is a fact and the financial part
is vouched for by parties connected
with the project. 1t has been contend
ed all along that legal preliminaries
were the only features delaying the
work. 1t would appear that the legal
conditions were being met. and from
what can be learned locally and from
the east all other business pertaining
Ito the construction work is going
along satisfactorily.
Where the Money Comes From.
There is considerable speculation
as to where the money will come
from to build the dam. So far the
only publicly announced financial in
terest is Stone and Webster, a very
prominent and substantial firm Of
Boston and New York. ST Louis in
formation connects the North Ameri
can Co., with financial interest ane
/ it is believed that the North Ameri
4 can Co, will put considerable money
into the enterprise. 1t is also stated
1 in st. Louis that other we'll known
eastern firms have already partici
pated in financing the Keokuk ant
Hamilton Water Power dam, later t
be known as the Mississippi Rive
Power Company. 1t is believed tina
the following banking concerns vii
make up the original syndicate t
see that ample funds are provided:

The arrival of the chief engineer,
Mr.. Hugh L. Cooper, is expected
soon. He will look over the physical
work. The question of taking up the
options, all of which will expire on
or before December 31st, will also re-
ceiye his attention. The legal, physi-
cal and financial activities on the
part of the water power people is
creating much better feeling in
Keokuk and Hamilton.
