A Problem Presented.

While there may be many factories
which do not want to come to Keo-
kuk. likewise there are many factories
which KeolSuk does not desire to
bring here for permanent location.
The kind of factories and their finan-
cial status are always problems for
study. The Commercial club of Keo-
kuk during its long association with
this kind of work found that about
threefourths of the factories which
are willing to leave their present To-
cation to go to some other city are
concerns which are failing in the
particular locality and wish to pick
up the bonus the new city has to of
fer. In this instance the factories are
not of the desirable class.

clamstion denouncing the whole

Burr Was arrested 1907, january
II, but escaped and was again ar-
rested in Alabama and conveyed to
Richmond, Virginia. Here be WAS
tried for treason. The trial began
May y, and lasted six months.
On September l, the Jury return
ed verdict of not guilty Of treas
on. He was ruined in character
and fortune in his own country 50
he went to England. where he hop
ed to establish himself but he WAS
expelled from the country. He
spent sometime in Sweden, Den
mark and Germany.
In February 1910 he went to
Paris. Here he became reduced to
poverty. He had to stay away
from England for some time. He
returned to England after suffering
the severest trials, where he was
compelled to stay for y year
and half. He went to Boston
May 1912 and then went to New
York. Here he opened an Office
in Nassau street, and began to prac-
tice law.
He was not only unsuccessful in
practice but was entirely summed
by society. At the age of seventy
eight he married Madam Jumel,
the wealthy widow of a French
Merchant. They separated on ac-
count of of Burrs extravagances
and during his latter days Burr
was dependent on the charity of
Scotch woman who had been Il
friend in former years.
She furnished him a home at
Port Richmond, Staten Island,
where he died. His remains were
buried in the Princeton cemetery
near those of his father and grand
father.
OF course we cannot help but
feel sorry for the fate of Aaron
Burr who had the ability to win an
honored place in the history of his
country. Young people should
learn to avoid his mistakes and
strive to keep love of country first
in their minds.

Dam.niae The Mississippi

The dream of over half century
is about to be realized by the
building of a dam across the Miss
issippi river at the Des Moines
rapids, at Keokuk, Iowa, and
Hamilton, nlinios. 1t will cost
about $l4,5OO, 600 and will require
seven thousand tons of steel, five
hundred thousand barrels of ce-
ment and five hundred thousand
cubic feet Of masonry.
The dam will be about seven
eights of a mile in length, thirty
seven feet wide at the base and
eight feet wide at the top and will
stand thirty-two feet above the
river bottom. The foundation will
be built seven feet in the rock bot
tom of the river.
The dam will have rounded top
and will be curved at the bottom,
SO the water will not fall but flow
over it in smooth sheet. The
dam will have one hundred and
sixteen food gates to regulate the
flow of water, and three openings
each twenty-eight feet for ice or
drift that may float down or be-
come troublesome.
On the Iowa side of the dam
there will be power house which
will cost $4,000. 1t will be built
of pressed brick and steel. It will
be one thousand four hundred
feet long, eighty-two feet wide and
three stories high. The roof will
be covered with trussed steel and
the windows will be set in a steel
sash and everything absolutely fire
proof. This plant will furnish
two hundred thousand electrical
horse power and as an enterprise
of the western hemisphere nothing
exceeds it except the Panama Ca
nal.
The present canal embankment
will be foverlowed from ten to
twenty feet deep and all the pres
sent guard lock and dry docks will
disappear beneath the food. The
Des Moines Rapids canal which
cost about IS, 900, 900, and which
was opened in 1877 with the ring
ing of bells and the blowing of
whistles now becomes thing out
of date and will be destroyed and
rendered useless. Above the dam
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-06-08

will extend = Ike tvenGy-four
miles long and tAree-fourths Of =
mile in width. <--.
The dam will in M way interfere
with the tr.6c south Of KeOkuk
for the stage of the river will be
the same ~ before. after the dam
is erected, it MT being necessasy
to hold back any volume Of water.
The plans of the dam provide for
lock. Between the lock and the
shore will be \ dry dock with
spaces for shops, s,o6ce buildings
and store houses; this dock will be
of the same dimensions as the pres
ent one, one hundred feet wide at
the base and four hundred feet
long. All power for the lock and
dry dock will be generated by =
special turbine and it is expected At
present to use compressed air for
everything, the turbine working
the compressor and furnishing
power for the lathes, phners and
saws.
The construction of the dam is
expected to require at least two
years. The dam will be built in
sections and will first require the
building of Golfer dams, to enable
the wOrkmen to start the fOunda-
tion in the rocky bed of the river.
Several separate sections of the
dam can be underway at the same
time and the spaces between can
be filled in. thus allowing a great
force of men to work at the same
time.
The future benefits of this dam
cannot be figured; but it is estim-
ated that within transmission dis
tanee of the dam there is situated
a population of over 4, 500, 600 peo-
pie and ten per cent of American
milage of railroad.
