measure prepared by Attorney Hol-

stated, the measure was introduced

a sentiment in favor of such law.
The Keokuk bill is looked upon with
much more favor that the proposed
state publicity measure in that 1t gives
all sections of the state the opportun-
ity to present their local resources and
advantages and in such a manner the
state at large, it is believed, would get
greater volume of advertising. For
that reason the heolluk bill is favored

passage is very bright. The sentiment

1t looks mighty fine these sunny
February mornings to see the CLEAN

new capitol building at Alexandria
From almost any point on the south
side of Keokuk, after one climbs the
hill, the dome can be seen sparkling
in the sun and the interurban trains
each Sunday are always filled with
passengers going to Alexandria to in
spect the new building which was
completed few days ago.
Now that the building is finished
and occupied, little of the history
of the removal of the capitol to Alex

though the story is we'll known to
quite number of people in this Vi
cinity, there are thousands of the
new citizens who are not acquainted
with the proposition, SO the history is
told again.
The old Missouri state capitol build
ing was destroyed by fire in Febru-
airy 1911. a bolt of lightning out of a
winter sky igliting the dome and the
building wrecked. including the loss
Of many valuable documents.
Before the embers were cool, i'll
fact before the last spark was quench-
ed, propositions began to come from
all parts Of Missouri for the removal
OF the capitol and the erection of a
new building.
Bidding For II.
St Louis. the largest city, made the
highest bid at the start, offering a
free site and one million dollars in
cash if the legislature would order
the new building built there Numer-
Gus other smaller cities throughout
the state made offers of from 100000
up for the new building and asked
that the new site be left to vote of
ne people. Jefferson City made a
strong fight to retain the capital
where it had been.
At that time, no one had any notion
OF Alexandria being candidate for
honors and even If such an announce
ment had been made, 1t would have
been considered a joke, for Alexandria
stood on the extreme corner of Mis-
souri, and liable to slip off into the
river and float away. 1t was not even

swings for the children. Alexandria
might appreciate library or some
other public building. He might build
that. He thought Of many other things
he could do for the old town, but
they always looked too small to him
after he figured them out.
One day while on. the train from
Alexandria to st. Louis, he read in
a copy of The Gate Cit. about the
numerous bids for the new capitol
and his mind was made up in flash
he would try and land that new cap

And he did.
Before that day was over, he had
deposited five million dollars in a st.

governor to donate that five million
dollars to Missouri and as much more

Alexandria.

I The ST. Louis newspapers OF the
next day certainly were sensational.

his support and about all that could
be read in Missouri newspaper, was
something upon the topic. Page had
press agents at work, but no one
knew this until long after.
He created public sentiment for his
project by appealing to the tax pay

Senator McManus is held in high es-

serving his first term but he takes to
politics readily and has extended his
acquaintance and influence very rap

Des Moines is still the same old po-

ceasing agitation continues and the
regulation Of everything is discussed
from morning until night and the state
continues to lose population. With a
return to sane Legislation and the CIV

Iowa really possesses there is no valid
reason why population should not re-

Engineer Hugh L. Cooper addressed
the Agricultural Association of the

do with the discussion of the future
land damages to the Green Bay dis

The meeting was held in the town
hall at Viewer and was very largely
attended. Mr.. Cooper informed the
Green Bay land owners that It would
be matter Of several and possibly
eight or ten years before it would
occasion any damages in the Green
Bay district and that at the
present time he does not
know exactly what damage will
be done to that district when
the second installation is installed.

He stated that survey is now be.
ing started in order to secure the
necessary data regarding the future
possibilities of overflow and that upon
the completion Of this survey thor
ough study viii be made as to the
best line of action to be taken for the
future. He assured the land owners

least affected by the new water lev

elect and that he felt sure that all
questions of damage would be as sat

have been with the 80 per cent OF
