Be Guests Of City for the
Next Thirty Days.

Another case OF seduction bobbed
up in the superior court this morning,
when young man eighteen years OF
age appeared before Judge Mcnamara
in answer to an information lodged
against him by Miss Georgia Smith,
la young woman Of this city Carl
Davis, former bell boy at a
local hotel, is the youth, and he is in
the city Jail awaiting the arrival of
relatives this afternoon. He was not
arraigned this morning, the arraign-
ment going over until tomorrow, in
order to give time for an adjustment
of the trouble without further court
procedure.
The case will in all probability be
settled by marriage. Young Davis
this morning expressed his willing
ness to marry the girl, and as she Is
said to be in like frame of mind. the
wedding will probably consummate
the difficulty in which young Davis
finds himself The seduction is said
to have taken place last March. At
that time Davis was employed as
bell boy and when he heard the girl
was to bring charges against him,
left the city. He returned to Keokuk
yesterday and was Immediately picked
up by the police. A sister of the
Smith girl preferred charges of sim
liar nature against another young man
here few days ago.

SEATTLE. Wash. Sept. lit was
with husky voice that Colonel
Roosevelt addressed the progressive
state convention here. Arriving at
10 o'clock in the morning the colonel
could hardly speak above a whisper.
DR.. Tyrrell, his throat specialist, was
put to work and by the time he was
due to appear before the convention
the colonel's voice was in fair working
order, although he was extremely
hoarse and spoke only with the great
est effort.
In his speech to the convention
Roosevelt emphasized especially that
it was the duty of the women voters
to cast their ballot for "decency and
honesty in politics" After a confer
ence with leaders here Roosevelt left
in the afternoon for Tacoma.

keokuk and Hamilton Lake.


To the Editor of The Gate city:
have been an interested reader of
the letters published in The Gate
City relative to the naming CT the
lake that is to be created by the dam.
Each person has name to suggest
and reason for the name. and as
time goes on there will be still more
names offered and Just as good rea-
sons presented for giving the lake that
special name.
1t seems to me that, from the long
list of men who have been prominent
the past years in an effort to secure
the dam and water power, one name
could scarcely be chosen above the
others as most suitable for either the
dam or lake.
The combined efforts Of these men
and their perseverance under great
difficulties and the time and thought
they have given to the project, finally
eliminated in the securing of Hugh t.
Cooper to put 1t through and build
the dam and part of the power house.
So as Cooper represents all those
men and their work, 1t seems only
fair and perfectly natural, without
favoring any one name to call the
dam Cooper"
But how about the lake? To the
writer, who is a Keokukian. Keokuk
is the very best and most reasonable
name for that body Of water. without
showing partially to any one person.
Lake Logan Is pretty The man, too,
deserves all the credit he can get.
and many people would want to call it
Lake Logan. Lake tombstone would
do credit 10 another deserving Keo-
kuk man. However, tombstone would
probably sooner or later become
Johnson by popular j age So the
most beautiful name that can be CIV
en- the lake would be Keokuk; 1t
seems the most fit--to a Keokukian.
But how about Hamilton, and her
preferences in the matter? TIE lake
will be just as much Hamiltons as
Keokuk's, just as Hamilton has men
who have been prominently identified
with the work as Keokuk has.
AT the big celebration next summer
let us have name for the new lake
one that will be acceptable to all,
both Keokukians and Hamiltonians;
one that will favor no one man promi-
nently over another. unless It is
Cooper who includes, one might say,
all the names.
May ask how the names OF the
dam and lake Will really be decided
upon before the Christening" next
summer? By vote or popular usage
or how?
And may suggest Just this--why
not call it Just Keokuk and Hamilton
Lake? Respectfully, M. w.

Your Fall

If you are one Of those who prefer
an autumn vacation and are wonder
ing where you will go this year.
come IN and let me tell you of the
pleasures and benefits of camping
trip In the Rockies. For genuine an.
joyment, there is scarcely anything
that can compare with trip OF this
kind.
Those who have camped out once
in the Rockies need no invitation to
come again, and those who want an
outing different from the ordinary can
do nothing better. The climate is
very dependable. railroad facilities
are excellent and good roads and
trails lead off into the mountains
lin all directions these, combined
with good fishing, scenic attractions
and tonic atmosphere, make camp life
positively ideal.

lock will have a length In the cham
Der of 400 feet, a width OF no feet,

The Ohio river locks have the same
width, but are 200 feet longer than
the Keokuk lock and their lift Is only
about one-fourth as much. 1t may be
said that locks can easily be length

lock will doubtless be heightened.
