through the section from one end to
the other by building twelve or. fifteen
miles Of line down Sugar Creek or
the Des Moines river valleys.
The Wabash and Toledo, Peoria and
Western are insured access to the
manufacturing section by a contract
already made which is copper riveted
to maintain common access to the
new manufacturing district by all
railroads, present or future.
The Contract With keokuk.
Complete naturalization of railway
traffic to and from the new manufac-
contract entered into between the city
of Keokuk and the people back of the
development of the industrial district
along the Des Moines river.
This contract was made a month
ago and is found on file in the city
offices. The parties OF the second
part are the Mississippi River Power
Company and Hugh L. Cooper. 1t
specifically provides that the railroad
connection between the new manu-
featuring center and the Keokuk and
Hamilton bridge, which it provides
for shall be open for the use of any
electric, interurban or steam railway,
or any railroad interests-note the
comprehensiveness of tnose last four
words-now in or hereafter entering
Keokuk, on reasonable terms.
The city contracts, on it's part, and
without expense to the taxpayers to
grant right of way for that neutral
railroad from the railroad system in
ternal to the manufacturing addition
to the keokuk and Hamilton bridge,
which means the tracks of the Wa
bash and T. P and W. roads and all
future roads which come across the
bridge across the Mississippi river
here.
The Industrial Railroad.
Thus the projected railroad from
the manufacturing center to the Mis-
sissippi river bridge insures for all
time perfect traffic contact and con-
nections with all railroads coming
this way through Illinois The Bur
! lington, Rock Island and Santa Fee do
not need it, nor will any future roads
coming In from Iowa or Missouri.
I All these railroads, built and pro-
/ jected, are but the outlets and inlets
i for the track system internal to any
4 industrial city or district. The inter
/ nal system always comprises tracks
1 to every factory door with plenty of
7 yard room and tracks, turntables
and US and other devices used in
4 handling freight cars. Here, Of
/ course, these must be on the lower
level which Is the factory level and
also the railroad level, only the rest

The Search for a Site.

The Search for a Sta.
The location of Keokuk's manufac-
turing district Is planned we'll outside
the present built-up portion of the city
for obvious reasons. Some search was
required to find ground which would
permit the Industrial section to be
built from the ground up, and there
has been in the past some talk that
it would be better If the site of Keo-
kuk were fields of corn, since old
time conditions are actually In the
way of the new, electric, water-power
era here.

Des Moines river from the bridge up
the valley of that classic Iowa river
for two miles and half. Owing to
the shape of the present farms there,
and the topography, it is shaped ex-
actly like dress pattern.
This irregular topography involves
many streets that are neither straight
nor long, and also some streets
which are as long and interesting in
their curves and angles as any of the
famous streets of Boston, based on
the erratic wandering of a Plymouth
Rock COW.
1t also makes 1t possible to make
an ideal connection and separation OF
factories and residences, with each in
an ideal location for practical use.
