Last evening Chief Engineer
Hugh l.. Cooper delivered lecture on
the Keokuk dam before the Grant
Club in Des Moines. According to
the Des Moines Capital Mr.. Cooper de.
clared that the project of transmitting
the electrical power TO Des Moines is
feasible and one that is to be carried
out by the constructing company. Mr..
Cooper states that the great dam and
power plant is to be completed on
schedule time, July l, 1912. It is to
mean great things for the Mississippi
valley, he states, and that 1t will pro-
duce enough power each year to equal
that which would be secured by the
burning of 40 per cent of all the coal
mined in Iowa In year. Work on the
dam has progressed rapidly this winter
and the construction was halted for
only ten days. Mr.. Cooper states that
the force OF men now at work numbers
1900 and that it will be increased to
about 1000 when spring arrives.
