-Keokuk business houses are ac-
quiring the habit They are doing
effective work advertising Keokuk
and the big dam. Many OF the bust
ness houses are using stationery con-
tanning water power information and
pictures OF the dam. It Is the cor

some information about the big Keo-
kuk dam. Every business man should
adopt this means of advertising.

/ Quincy Herald: The latest report
current on the local river front Is
that Hugh Mckenzie of Keokuk, Iowa,
/ pilot on the steamer Keokuk and for
imerlv on the old Silver Crescent n
the Keokulz-Q Quincy trade, is to sue
coed Captain Dipple as captain OF the
Keokuk this summer. The report en-
anates from a responsible source and
! is considered reliable. Capt. Dfpple is
said to have entered the employ OF a
new sand company at Davenport as
river superintendent and there has
been much guessing who will take
his place on the packet boat. The ap-
pointment of Mckenzie will meet
with general approval in Quincy as
no steamboat man who visits this
part is liked better With Hugh on the
| Keokuk, 1t is supposed that Captain
Dodds will return to the Wenona II

Capt. Ferris, formerly on the Silver
Crescent and last year on the Column
bia for part of the season, will COM
mand the Helen Blair, In the Daven-
port Burlington trade. The Blair pack
/ cts will begin the regular summer
