Thousands of Visitors Will be in the
City This Season to Sec the
Dam and Purchase
Merchandise.
OUTSIDE TRADE RETURNS
keosauqua Paper Says keokuk Would
Get More out.of- Town Business
If Train Schedule Was
Favorable.


weeks issue says that practically all
the people of Van Buren, county will
visit keokuk this season to see the
Dig dam and to trade. That state
ment can readily be accepted as a
fact. If the Rock Island passenger
department would give the people who
come to this city about two hours
more time it would increase their
business and give better satisfaction
to their patrons. The Democrat says:
1t is expected that during the sum-
mer and fall there will be railroad ex-
curslons to keokuk to see the work
on the big dam In view of the grow
4 ing interest in Keokuk and its great
| future, which is assured, the former
/ close trade relations between Van
I Buren, county and keokuk are certain
to be resumed.
Not SO many years ago practically
all the trade that went away from this
county at all went to Keokuk, but on
! account of the Rock Island train SER
vice, which has been against Keokuk
for many years, this trade has gone
elsewhere. Keokuk was perfectly sat
lsfactory as trading point keokuk
merchants carried good up-to-date
stocks and showed their out of town
customers every attention that an
habitual courtesy and friendliness
could suggest.
But the Rock Island train service
has been against Keokuk for many
years and some five or six years ago
the company reduced it's service !,
one train each way per day, and the
train going east arrived in the even
J ing and eft the next morning, sc
} that anyone visiting Keokuk from this
section could not transact any bust
ness there and return home before
, the evening of the second day.
1t is not thought this course was
intended as discrimination against
keokul, but was in pursuance of a
natural business policy of carrying
people to Chicago and farther east
over their own line by way of Eldon
rather than to take them to Keokuk
where they could go east over the
c., B. & Q. But whatever the Rock
Islands purpose, the effect was tc
shut Keokuk out of the trade of this
section to large extent and no fault
of keokuk either.
But this has all been changed
: There are two regular trains eact
way now, and people in these parts
may depart for Keokuk at about L
O'Clock or little later and aftel
spending two hours there return til,
same evening. And an effort is to b.
made, and it is believed it will h'
successful. to have the railroad SEIZED
ule changed so as to give visitors al
) additional hour in the city. Thi
would give the people to the west o
$ Keokuk an opportunity to attend t
ordinary business transactions there
and restore her to her former rela
tionship as a favorite trading cente
for all this section of country. How
$ ever, as 1t is now, if one knows wha
V he wants, he can do his buying in tn
Y two hours allotted him and get bac
o home the same day And the interes
n inspired in Keokuk by reason of tn
s. great dam, will take thousands Their
l. this season who have not been ther
before in years.
