soon for the accommodation of visi-
tors. The Hotel Keokuk and the other
hotels of the city are doing all they
can to meet the new conditions but
their capacity is too small. The visi-
tors are not complaining about the
service but they are complaining
about the limited facilities for housing
them. There is considerable talk about
new hotel. some talk about enlarg-
ing the Keokuk hotel and some talk
of converting the building formerly
occupied by Kellogg Birge Co., into
rooming quarters. 1t is understood
that a conference between hotel men
and capitalists will take place this
week in this city. A fine new hotel
with plenty of room accommodations
would be the biggest boost that could
happen to Keokuk just now aside
from the water power. The agitation
for new hotel should not be cor
strued as criticism against the pres
ent hotels in point of service but APP
plies to their limited capacity.
