The New Hotel First,

The New Hotel First.
The most of the talk referred to the
opportunity Keokuk has of getting a
fine, new, modern hotel and its effect
on the growth of the city, not only by
being hostelry for visitors. but by
the stimulus such a building will give
legitimate development here in Keo-
kuk. This is considered the thing
nearest at hand, and also the most
important thing in sight.
1t was announced at the luncheon
that the water-power company will
take $4,000 Of the preferred hotel
stock in cash, and keep its bluff prop
erty, instead of turning 1t in on the
stock as at first planned.
Get to Work at Once.
1t was discovered that many Keo-
kuk people willing to greatly help
Keokuk by taking some of the six
percent preferred hotel stock have not
been asked to subscribe.
1t was also the unanimous opinion
that the more persons financially
interested in the hotel proposition, the
better it will be for Keokuk, and it is
desirable that the preferred stock be
scattered over town thoroughly.
So committee of Keokuk boosters
will 20 out tomorrow with a civic fine
tooth comb and gather in all the sub
scriptions possible, hoping to COM
plete the stock subscriptions in that
manner in one day.
Energetic Young Blood.
One of the important things about
the luncheon was the attendance. No
body was there but genuine Keokuk-
ians, and they were all of energetic
young blood-the men who represent
the new and great future Of Keokuk.
