Mississippi River Company Has ov-
ercome Shipping Difficulties in
Purchase Of Expensive
Machinery.
LARGEST IN THE WORLD
Thirty Turbines VIII be Installed In
Power House Here at Cost
of About a Million and
a Hail.

Difficulty anticipated by the Missis-
sippi River Power Company in the
shipment of electric turbines to be
used in the power house here which
will be the largest in use in the world
has been overcome by design call
ing for turbines somewhat smaller in
dimensions and specially constructed
as to parts to meet transportation ia
cilities. according to an announce
ment made today by the power COM
pany.
Transporting the turbine parts
from the east to Keokuk presented
serious problem to the Water Power
company some time ago and set the
manufacturers to solving 1t along with
the power engineers. AS first design
ed 1t was found thaS railroad S&cilities
would be unable to meet the require
ments, the parts being too large to be
transported by rail over some Of the
roads which they would necessarily
have to pass in coming to Keokuk. BY
water shipment of this character
envolves great risk as we'll as being
impractical in other ways SO new de-
signs we're ordered. The turbines
will be made in Philadelphia and
Cleveland.
First Shipment In Two Months.
! A good estimate of the enormous
size of the turbines Is pictured by
the dimensions. The turbine wheels
will be thirteen feet In diameter and
each turbine will weigh 100000
pounds.
The first shipment of the turbine
parts vii be made in about two
months, at which time the company
will be ready to put the bottom cast
ings in the masonry. Only the lower
parts will be shipped at that time
For the first installation fifteen tur
bines will be put in leaving an equa
number to be installed at lattel
date.
The turbines will be larger thar
those used any place in the world ant
will cost the water power company
about a million and one-half.

1t will be impossible to take Van

row being circus day and officers re-
CURED to patrol the city more thor
oughly because of the shows, Van
Fleet will not be taken to Knoxville
until Friday.
Rather than go through court pro-
ceedings and have the trouble of hunt
ing up an attorney to take his case,
was probably the reason for Van
Fleets consenting to go to the house
of liquor correction. Up until his run

Van Fleet was willing to do anything

Considerable Improvement and comfort
has been added to the new stands at
the bal park since the team left here.
srandstand. the right field pavilion and
a portion of the left field pavilion The
right field pavilion has been concreted
and the left field pavilion Will be by to-
morrow, though only about half of it
WI 1e ready for use for the next few
days
Tuesday next. when the team will go
away for nearly month"; work will start
in earnest on the upper deck and roof
of the srandstard. The steel for this
work has arrived and the work will be
rushed. Assurance is given that the up
per deck will be completed when the
Nationals return here May 81. 1t is not
unlikely. either, that the left field fence
will be moved back forty feet and the
pavilion in that field extended the same
distance.
There does not, however, appear to be
a chance to switch the diamond to fit
the present stands this season. It would
require the entire regarding of the field,
and this would require more time than
the Nationals will ever be away in one
stretch. 1t would take time. too, for the
sod on the field to take root, and to
have il loose would greatly interfere with
the fielding 1t is planned to do this
work after the season closes. so as to
have it in readiness for the opening of
the next season.
Manager McA1eer will be in q ouandary
as TO which of his pitchers to work to-
day. Groom. Hughes, Otey, Johnson and
Gray have appeared in the three games
the Nationals have played in Boston.
Hughes will not be used If the weather is
cool. and no doubt it is. Otey went six
innings Monday. while Hughes and Gray
choose from Gray and Groom, who have
worked in the least innings. unless he
should decide to give Sherry chance,
and that is not likely, for the Nationals
are particularly anxious to win the final
game of the series from the Iubbites.
The first appearance Of the world cham
pion Athletics since last season will take
place tomorrow, when Connie Mack 5
team will open four-game series here.
To date the Athletics have been the only
team to give the Nationals a. drubbine
this season, winning three games out of
the four during the locals recent stay in
Philadelphia. McAleer wants revenge for
those defeats and the team will make
every effort not to get worse than an
even break in the series which ends Mon
day.
There may and there may not be some
thing in the following dispatch from st.
