This town has gone automobile mad"
The foregoing remark was made, by II. l..
Perkins, a travelling man Sundaying in
Omaha.
DO you know" added Perkins, that I
have been sitting here just an hour in
front OF this hotel and during that time
| have kept count Of the number of horses
and automobiles passing. Including drays
and express wagons, ten vehicles drawn by
horses nave passed along the street. Dur
ing the same time 246 automobiles have
gone over the same route IL that's not
putting the faithful old horse on the blink,

Il think Omaha is far ahead of other
cities Of the same class when 1t comes to
using automobiles 1t seems as II there
are double as many here as in st. Paul
and Kansas City. They may have a few
more in Denver. but | think Omaha and
Minneapolis break about even.

SUNDAY PosToFFIcE CLOSING.

movement calculated to result in gem
eral closing OF postofices on Sunday
appears TO be gaining ground faster
than has any similar movement in
which the public is not vitality inter

Courier further suggested that we
merely are used TO the SUNDAY mail
that's all We do not need 1t any
more than We need Sunday groceries
or SUNDAY hardware.
In a later reference TO the subject
the same paper declares that the Sun

lacks a heap OF being case OF OK

religious or sentimental feeling, there
IS no getting away from the fact
that postal employees are as much en-

cooper,a Pool.

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
Hugh Cooper, the man who first
dreamed a power dam at Keokuk, and
who now is constructing the dam In
concrete, belongs in the class with
those who make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before. In
carrying forward his great project for
developing the water power at the
Des Moines Rapids Hugh Cooper be-
comes benefactor of his race like
well, like Henry Bessemer. who made
the first steel rails, or Eli Whitney
inventor of the cotton machinery. Mr..
Cooper no doubt will derive large
wealth from this enterprise, but there
are other rewards for merit that are
more enduring than wealth and more
to be desired. The great work should
in some way be linked with Mr. Coop
er's name. The creation of the dam
results in turn in the creation of a
great pool, or lake, extending up
stream a distance of over forty miles
TO Burlington. On this pool the larg-
est craft will be able to float. One of
Uncle Sans battleships. or trans
atlantic liner, could cruise about in
this pool. calling at will at such mod
est little ports az Dallas City, Mont
rose or Pontoosuc. This pool viii be
fine, large body of water, and good
business heads predict that within
twenty years after the dam is com
pleted there will be a continuous
city along either shore and that We
will have here a real manufacturing
district riyaIing Pittsburg or that TAX
ing form now around the south point
OF Lake Michigan. Such a noble and
important body of water, tenanted
throughout its course with so many
agents OF complex civilization, is
worthy OF name. It should be called
Cooper's Lake, or Cooper's Pool, thus
associating for all coming time the
! name Of really great promoter, act.

lake eIrue,"

Nauroo Independent: 1t is reported
that the lake which wils be formed
by the water power dam will be
named Lake Birge in honor OF the
first president OF the Keokuk and
Hamilton Water Power Company,
who is now deceased Mr.. Birge was
one of ISeokuks leading business
men and one of the original boosters
for the water power dam. To name
the lake In his honor would be fit
ting recognition of the services he
rendered and lasting tribute and
epitaph to his memory. We had sug'
gested Lake Cooper. to honor the
man who brought about the final con-
summation OF the great project; or
Lake Logan. with its pleasing allit-
Grafton, in honor OF Judge Logan,
who has been one OF Keokuk's lore
most and persistent boosters for the
big dam But IL Mr.. Cooper and Judge
Logan and the Keokuk people want
the lake named Lake Birge. Lake
Birge 1t shall be. The name is very
appropriate and 1t no doubt will be
entirely agreeable TO the people OF
this community.

Ii Is UP TO kEokuk.

Speaking for the water power COM
pany and outlining it's policy in his
address to the people of keokuk In
the Grand opera house last Thursday
evening, Engineer Hugh L. Cooper
said:
If we can find in this immediate
vicinity we'll reused public spirit,
represented by an organized force of
strong. brainy men, working to bring
new factories into the territory, it is
our policy to reserve for this vicinity
the largest amount of power that is
salable and commensurate with the
activities that your people put in
force.
1t willshe one of my greatest bust
ness griess if we do not find in the
future vast increase in industrial
life in this vicinity
Here We have the situation placed
before US clearly and the proposition
put up to US frankly and fairly that
the amount of power that will be re-
served for use in this immediate vicin-
ity depends wholly on the efforts we
make TO bring new factories here and
the market they afford for what the
water power company has to sell II
those efforts are feeble, indecisive and
ineffective the water power company,
as commercial organization seeking
legitimate returns for its investment.
will have no alternative but TO market
its power elsewhere The power
MUST be sold somewhere, The com
pany would prefer to sell it in Keo-
kuk and vicinity. and viii do so if
opportunity is afforded. It is up 10
keokuk TO afford the opportunity. A
committee of fifteen representative
citizens will shortly address itself TO
the task OF deciding how this can best
be done. Whatever the findings and
recommendations of that committee,
they should have the united and en-
thusiastic endorsement of the people
Of Keokus. II is only by concerted
thought and effort supplemented by
feryencv and zeal that the great
work that is before keokuk can be
accomplished. The water power pro-
/ iect is one OF exceptional magnitude
and importance 1t is up TO keokuk
