But even at the enormous cost OF

promise OF large profit in It. Once

an average of $40 per year, the gross
revenue will be something like S4,-

"a fat dividend every year.
Keokuk is truly awake at last to its

The right to construct the dam
across the river was secured by bill
passed by congress several years ago,
In which Judge william Logan, A. E.

Keokuk gentlemen took an active part.
The building OF the dam is practical

sissipDi valley the industrial Pittsburg

The power that st. Louis will get
will be transmitted 200 miles. When
1t gets there, It will be sold at some
thing like a rate OF s25 per horse
power per year. That is price with
large profit in it for the dam company
and yet price that is cheap to the
consumer, who now pays something
like s55 per horse power per year for

To keep floating ice and logs from
