ed, much will depend on the attitude
of the people of Keokuk, the prompt
ness with which they meet the con-
ditions imposed for the relocation of
a factory or the establishment of
new one, and the liberality of spirit
in their dealings and relations with
newcomers. There must be some
sacrifice of personal advantage on
the part of each in order to insure the
larger good to the greater number.
In other words. the city must help
itself The natural and artificial
condition now existing contains per Sc
all the essentials requisite for the
city's greater growth. But the flu
ture in large measure is dependent
wholly upon the enterprise, liberality,
judgment and acumen of the citizens
Of Keokuk. Not only Keokuk but
the whole region round about her
should have and enjoy an industrial
and business awakening. A spirit of
Cancellation, concession and generosi-
ty of purse viii accomplish the things
so eagerly sought.

Transportation of manufacturing
from the far east to the great middle
west set in many years ago and the
removal tide is growing in volume
Many Of the prospecting industries of
the west are indigenous to the soil:
they sprang from the demands Of
trade and the necessities of the peo-
pie. Transportation cost has become
SO important an item in manufacture
in-shipping the raw material long
distances and reshipping the finished
product-that production must be had
nearer to the consuming market.
Hauling and counterhauling, for which
blind disregard of the elementary
law of supply and demand and the
anxiety of the railways ito make traf-
fic" are responsible, causes additional
charges and consumes profits. Thus
an extraordinary and unnecessary ex-
pense attends bad distribution. Man
ufacturing must of necessity continue
to grow in the west. The town that
recognizes and takes advantage of its
opportunity will profit the greatest
Nature has done more for Keokuk
than she has done for most towns
similarly situated in the boundless
west; natural motive power will
soon be available at fraction OF the
cost attending the production of
steam power; conditions favoring sue
cessful embarkation in factory enter
prises exist. With SO fair a prospect
Keokuk should become the greater
manufacturing and iobbing center that
seems to be her destiny within the
present decade.

FEW REPUBLICANS IN
 FIRST LEGISLATURE
Early Indications Point to Clear Democratic Major
 ity of Forty

Although the complete retarns are not in, it appears that the rep vaccinations from the various coun- ties as 10 parties will be divided as follows:
 senator (probable), and one repub-
 Cochise county two democratic senators and seven democratic rep fesentatiyes. No republicans.
 CocOnino county, one democratic senator, one democratic represents tive. Not certain.
 Gila, two democratic senators. three democratic representatives. No republicans.
 Graham, one democratic senator. two democratic representatives. No republicans.
 Greenlee, one democratic senator. two democratic representatives. No republicans.
 Maricopa county, two democratic senators, six democratic representa- lives No republicans.
 Mohave, one democratic senator, one democratic representative. No republicans.
 Navajo has one representative and one senator. Result not certain.
 Pima, two democratic senators. one democratic representative and two republican representatives.
 PinaL one democratic senator and one democratic representative No republicans.
 Santa Cruz, one democratic sena- tor and one democratic representa- tive.
 Yavapai, two democratic senators, three democratic representatives and one republican representative.
 Yuma, one democratic senator and two democratic representatives. No republicans.
 From the above it can readily be seen that the democrats positively have sixteen members of the upper house, while the republicans have but one. Cononino and Navajo, with one senator each, are placed in the doubtful column
 In the lower house the democrats have elected twenty-nine members and the republicans but four, while Coconino and Navajo with one rep resentative each are placed as doubtfuls
 Thus it will be seen. eliminating Navajo and the doubtful ones. that on joint ballot for the election of senators. the democrats will have iorty-five votes and the republicans but five, the democrats having clear majority of forty votes.

It is reported that in order to pre- vent any question being raised re- garding the legality of the election of pTecint officers in Cochise county. the board of supervisors will appoint those precinct officers who were elected in Tuesday election to of fee. 80 that they are or will be oil cers by virtue of election and appoint uent. To make this action technical ity proof 1t is said that those who were not candidates to succeed them selve> will hand in their resignation.
 This plan was advanced by Judge Owen Murphy of Lowell, who was elected to county office in Tues days election. By handing in his resignation as 8 justice of the peace to the board Of supervisors he va cates the office and by appointing the successful candidate at the cleo ton the supervisors would thereby side-s.ep the question as to whether or not the precinct election was legal. The individual opinions of the territorial precinct officers have moi been canvaseed but this is under. stood to be the plan agreed upon, though it is not binding upon any one of them es each officer has 8 right to prosecute any claim which be may believe that he has under the vary ing opinions that have been expressed regarding the precinct election sit uatiOn.

FINDS PHOENIX IS
 MECCA FOR TOURISTS
j. s. Douglas Talks of State Capital and Incidentally
 of Election

Returning from Phoenix, where he had been to attend a di- rector's meeting of the Phoenix Ma tional bank, one of the top-notch financial institutions of the new state, J. & Douglas arrived home this morning. Asked as to the mental condition of the politicians in Phoenix, he said that there was much joy in the ranks of the dem ocrats while corresponding gloom prevailed the ranks of the republi- cans. In Maricopa county the only republican elected was for superior judge, an office that really is not a political one, says the International.
 '-The Phoenix National bank has records to show that Phoenix and the Salt River valley are unusually prosperous. The business of the bank is constantly growing and the business was never so satisfactory as now. The facilities of this bank are of the very best, and in the fu- ture they will be made larger as the demand requires.

Four hundred mules are now at work on the grade of the smelter site Mir Jacklin went last night to the Chino property in New Mex ico, where a large concentrating mill is in operation, shipping the output to the Fl Paso smelter.
 The city of Phoenix never made a better appearance than now; 1t Is crowded with tourists and those the rigors of winter. The streets are all newly paved, many new buildings have recently been com pleted in the business section, in- eludIng the magnificent Adams ho- tel and many other buildings are being planned for the near future.
 Being a democrat, who believes that the success of his party Will bring relief from the strangle-hold the trusts have secured on the country, Mir. Douglas naturally Is pleased with the election result in Arizona and his desire is now that the party strength will be even greater at the next election than it was in the last one.
 Mir Douglas will leave tonight for Texarkana, Texas. where he goes to attend a meeting of the directors of the National Lumber & Creosot- ing company, of which J. T. Logan, formerly of this city. Is the general manager. This lumber company is
