HEARD ON THE STREET
MONEY IN PENCADER

One OF the most productive farms i'll

aside from producing its annual ban
crop every once in while OF the

cnop every once in while o. the
Wholesome coin of the realm-yes. and
other realms. too.
Last Sunday morning, Mr.. Davis
found a copper penny dated 1917. 1t
was picked up in a spot near the door,
irequenled every day. Other coins
have been found dated 1906 and 1907.
1is greatest find was about so years
ago, when he struck fortune in post
hole where was buried an old buckram
lag containing SI9.o7. Some OF these
were dated as far back as 1900 Among

FORMER MINISTER
TO VISIT KEOKUK
Rev. r. Clayton Welles to Arrive Mon
day, Visit Friends and See the
Water Power.

Rev T. Clayton Welles, who will be
remembered by some of our older citi-
zens as the pastor of the First Congre-
gational church nearly thirty years
ago, and who is still in active ser
vice in the east, has been visiting in
Des Moines, and writes that he will
arrive in Keofuk on the 7:40 Rock
Island train Monday evening, July
31st, and would like to meet informal
ly all of his old friends and parishon-
ers at the residence Of Charles j.
Smith, 1923 Franklin ST., on Monday
evening. Mr.. Welles writes that he
has read and heard so much about
the water power that he could not
resist the temptation to visit the old
town and note the improvements that
have taken place since his departure,
and get view of the great work
going on here, which he predicts will
mean much for the future of Keokuk.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-07-30

Iowa and Iowans are beginning to be
students of the construction of water
power and demonstration and from
this time forward the interest will in
crease until the municipal, commercial
and business revolution occurs that
will result from the completion of
Americas most colossal. and scientific
controlling of the waters and will
make it local study as we'll as a
local pride.

will be interesting to note that all
are trailers in height to an Iowa
boys project already completed. This
is the Shoshone dam at Cody City,

ferries took up the initiative in bring
ing about its settlement. He and his
associates acquired under the Cary
Act the first claims that We're endors-
ed by the national and state govern
ments and began the pioneering of its
settlement. The opening struggles in
such scheme are but a repetition OF
history and We're, as usual, eventual
" overcome. The first Cody Canal

veloped gradually until now the fu-
ture is assured and the empty valley
is being traversed by railroads finish
ed, and many others projected, thous-
ands of farmers, miners and prospect
ors (as mineral wealth abounds in
conjunction with the agricultural re-
sources) SO that this vast valley, the
size of the state of Massachusetts, is
dotted with farms, towns and pros
pective cities. Progress was so rapid
that all available land under the first
canal was taken, and through Col.
Cody's influence and the surrender OF
his proprietary rights to the govern
ment, the reclamation service has
been performing one of it's most gi-
gantic tasks in the furthering of fu-
ture prosperity This is none other
that the just completed highest dam
