MAJOR C.KELLER
is FAVORABLE TO
CLOSING OF RIVER
Says Early Start Afforded in
Spring Would Be of Value
to Boat Owners.
FEW AFFECTED IN FALL
Through Traffic Would Be interrupted
but Otherwise Keokuk Canal
Is Little Used.

Interest Of river men is centering
on the public hearing in regard 10 the
closing of the Des Moines rapids ca
nal by the Mississippi River Power
company, which will be held at keo-
kuk Aug. IA, and at which Colonel Ed
ward Burr, assistant to the chief of
engineers at Washington will preside.
The power company stands TO lose
approximately $4,000 for every day re-
quired TO finish the dam, over and
above the date called for by the con-
tract. This concern has a million dol
lar contract with the city of st. Louis
- furnish light for that municipality
Ssginning May l, and there is a for
felt of $4,000 a day placed for nom
fulfiIlment Of same. Furthermore, the
interest or the capital will amount
10 $4,000 a day.
FIGHT EFFECTED.
The power company anticipates a
fight at the meeting. and it is believed
that many steamboat owners will take
advantage Of the announcement of the
closing of the canal TO put in a claim
for damages.
Major Charles Keller of the local
engineers office stated this morning
that the early closing of navigation
this fall would result in an immense
gain next spring. In order to complete
the work on the dam so as to have il
ready for operation next year, il will
be necessary 10 close il Sept 10, at the
latest. Should this action be deferred
until along in November, the usual
time for the closing OF navigation, but
very little work could be done as the
cold weather would interfere with the
carrying on of the concrete opera
[ tiOns, and d resultant setback would
occur in the spring. which would prob
ably mean that boating operations
could not be resumed until the mid
die OF July.
NO HARDSHIP.
Only one steamboat company woulC
suffer, j. G., the Blair line, and only
one boat owned by this concern would
be affected. Through freight and pas
+ senger service would be affected to Z
. certain extent, but the loss of a few
days AT the end OF the season would
be more than repaid by the gain mex
spring. But one lumber company vii
be affected, the Taber concern. anC
/ inasmuch as this concern is abou
10 close its business, the present sea
son being the last, ii is believed tha
the matter can be adjusted amicably
The Taber people could have thei
logs sawed either at Burlington o.
Fort Madison without great deal 0
trouble.
Excursion boats will close their sea
son in August, according 10 previous
announcements. and such crafts as in
tend to ply southern waters durin,
the cold months will have ample TIM
to get down stream by Sept 10.

Fervent sighs of relief are BEING
heard from hotel patrons here as q
result of the crumbling of the wfyt
ers' strike which has caused more or

restaurants of late. 1t Is not the
inconvenience in the securing Of
meals and other service which has
made the hotel customer uneasy, but
the realization that IL the strike

gestions are actually being put for
ward here for the organization Of q
committee. of vigilantes similar to
those of early frontier days for the
purpose of Kidding the city of the
gang leaders whose highest ambition
seems to be the taking of human
life. A week Of pitched battles be.
tween armed gangsters with the
most melodramatic settings has at
last awakened the city to the neces
ssity of freeing itself from the pres
.ence of these bands. For years it
has been more or less known that
such bands existed and that death
was likely to be the lot of anyone in
curing their 4displeasure. OF late.
however, they have been settling
feuds by the revolver and knife
method at such rate that citizens
in general have become thoroughly
alarmed by the week-long battle
which has been going on. Men mark
