next July Plans were also discussed
for the bond issue that will be neces-
sary for the securing of cash for build
ing the new home of the Keokuk Mo.
tor Boat Club, which will be started in
December.
1t was decided to arrange some
means, whereby the regatta and the
civic celebration upon the completion
of the dam, should be staged at the
same time, allowing the city to have
two days of the week for the festivi-
ties down town and the balance of the
week to be devoted to the aquatic
events. 1t is thought that the Keokuk
| Industrial Association and the Mis-
sissippi River Power Company will CO.
operate In the arrangements.
An effort will be made to have the
governors Of Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri, attend the affair and Influence
will be brought to bear in a determin-
ed effort to have the national govern
ment represented, If not by the presi,
dent, by personal representative OF

in the hotel project because of the
fact that Keokuk has no adequate

!. able Attention on Account
Of Activity.

Local Moose men returning to Keo-
kuk from Kansas City, where they
have been attending the national con.
yention, reached Keokuk with spirits
bubbling and hopes running high.
That the Moose men were treated roy
allv while in Kansas City was evident
and that they enjoyed their trip goes
without saying.
According to the returning dele
gates the Kansas City convention was
one of the most spectacular ever held
ii that city, with especial stress being
placed on the day the nominating
speeches were made, when the ma
ticnal officers we're elected. Two
thirds Of a day were utilized IN max
Ing the nominating speeches. The
selection Of the place OF holding the
next convention was another spectac-
ular scene. A number Of cities were
exerting every influence to land the
convention, and Dallas, Texas,
was one of the most enthusiastic. The
Dallas band paraded the con.
yentlon hall, followed by about five
hundred Dallas Moose men, but they
were good losers when Cincinnati,
Ohio, was selected as the next place
Of meeting.
Between fifteen and seventeen
thousand Moose. attired in Moose re
gala, took part in the great parade
Wednesday evening, when 1t was esti
mated that fully eighty thousand peo
pie were on the street to see the pa.
rade. It took the parade an hour and
twenty-five minutes to pass a given
point, SO an idea may be had from
that as to the magnitude of the Moose
parade.
Another spectacular feature of the
convention was the adoption of class
