Many Pictures Of the Whole City to
be Collected and Deposited in
the Public Libr-
arv
BEFORE THE BIG CHANGE
AS Many Residences and stores as
Possible, as Well as Public
Monuments and Va
cant Lots.

The keokuk Of today is to be pre-
served in the public library by means
OF complete collection of photo
graphs, according to plan decided
upon by the library trustees last
night
In view of the changes which are
at hand in Keokuk, Dr.. G.. Walter
Barr was directed to collect all the
photographs possible of Keokuk as
1t is and file them in the library in
some systematic way which will make
them valuable addition to the his
tcrical part of the public library.
Not only such things as the view
from Rand park and the Curtis mon
ument are to be preserved by photo
graphic copies in the library, but 1t
is especially desired to get as many
photographs of residences and bust
ness buildings as possible. The idea
is, that hundred houses scattered
over town will go far to show the
actual appearance of Keokuk in the
year 1910, and are more important
for preservation than a picture of the
monument which will always be here.

commonwealth.
To tell of this valley and town this
story was designed. To tell, without
exaggeration or striving after high
sounding phrases, of the many truly
wonderful advantages and resources
of a unique and beautifully endowed
portion of Gods footstoOl; to describe
the great project by which the govern
ment of the United States is harness
ing the waters Of the Colorado, even as
the British government has after SINH

and convenience the waters of the
Egyptian Nile; to herald the news, in

proach the proverbial land of milk and

of this story.
Possibilities Are Varied
With agricultural. horticultural and
viticultural possibilities equaling, If not
excelling those of any similar area of
the earth's surface, certainly surpass-
ing all other sections of the United
States; with a climate seemingly made
expressly for growing things-growing
them quickly, early, in fact continu-
ously, and in marvellous abundance and
quality; with a soil endowed by nature
in unprecedented manner with the es-
sentials of effective fertilization; with
wealth of eliXir-laden water flowing
by and needing but the Harvesting, it
is not strange that the Yuma valley
attracted early attention from the
United States reclamation service.
These things amply proved to the
governments painstaking experts

and beneficent reclamation act.
With the vital portions of this great
project completed, the permanent and
dependable wedding of soil and wa

SHELLS SHOOT AHEAD IN
RACE WITH ARMORPLATE
ProjectiIeS Are Improved, but Ex-
pert Says Defensive Methods
Are Not Keeping Step

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The shot
appears to be getting the better of the
armor in the never-ending contest for
supremacy between the two, according
to Rear Admiral N. e. Mason, chief of
the naval ordnance bureau. In his
annual report Admiral Mason says that
the conditions and outlook with regard
to armor-piercing projectiles, formerly
unsatisfactory, have improved very
much during the year.
The quality Of the shells supplied by
certain firms is better, though the lack
of an adequate supply of large caliber
shells continues to be matter of seri-
Gus concern. On the other hand, the
advance in armor has not been entirely
satisfactory so far as thick plates are
concerned, and certain new processes
have failed to lend themselves to the
installation of the armor on shipboard.
The older processes are being left be-
hind by the Improvement in projectiles.
But thin plates have shown marked
improvement and the hardening meth
ods formerly limited to two-inch plates
have gradually been extended to plates
up to four inches.
