f. X. Pitman of Norwood. Iowa,
was among those visiting members OF
the Southern Iowa Editorial Associa.
tlon to visit Keokuk Friday for the
inspection Of the dam and works. Mr..
Pitman was connected with The Gate
CITY in the editorial department "a
score of years ago when the Gate
City was wearing knickerbockers Mr..
Pitman has paper of his own now,
the Northwood Anchor, and is entire
ly satisfied with this grand old state
LOT ours, and is at peace with the
world in general. He was accom-
panied on the three days trip by Mrs.
Pitman, and together they left Fri
day evening for visit with relatives
in Warsaw.
The following breezy squiblets
shows the effect Keokuk and the Keo-
kuk dam had on W. H. Davidson, OF
the Burlington Hawk.Eye:
The Hawk-Eye has no doubt Chief
Engineer Cooper would undertake to
survey and rebuild the equator If
properly financed; nor is there much
doubt that he could do it. Which
would be more than Mark Twain did,
for he only followed the equator.
"The convention has demonstrated
that the newspaper people are the
most reasonable fellows In the world.
OF varied political and church creeds,
they came together in the best OF good
fellowship, and then go to their homes
in the best of good feeling toward
each other and tt hosts and the
world When all the rest OF the
world gets into that psychological
condition the millennium will be here.
"The people Of Iowa have yet to
realize that the great water power at

over twenty million dollars in the
state, mostly for labor. local material
and local investments means that
much wealth added to the wealth of
Iowa. But of far greater value are the
new industries that VIII be establish
ed as result OF the cheaper power,
and the new transportation lines that
will be built. the increase of popura-
ton and the additional tax revenue
for the public welfare.
Chief Engineer Cooper frankly adj
mits he likes Iowa ana would be con-
tent to live here all his life if there
were more great engineering enter

JACK JOHNSON MAY
FIGHT IN new YORK

New York, July 30.--The New York
boxing commission is seriously consid-
ering the question of letting Jack
Johnson fight in New York state, pro-
vided he fights Joe Jeanette or some
other dark man, and announcement to
that effect is expected daily. The
commission is opposed, to a man, to
having Jack spoil the features of any
new white hopes" and have con-
cluded that none have appeared whom
they consider equal to go ii with the
black champion, Jacks managers
are said to have approached the com.

fast enough to pay the taxes on the

persistent challenger Joe Jeanette.
It's Jeannette that the MANAGEMENT
of the garden is so anxious to have
the champion meet anyway and since
Jack has been right nice in his re-
marks about Jeanette lately a bout
between the blacks might be arranged.

New York, July 3O.-The unusually
large entry list for the six $1,000
events of the Parkway professional
race meeting which began today under
the auspices of the New York-Park-
way Driving club, is evidence of the
increased popularity of harness racing
sports in this section. With the ex-
ception of a meeting in Staten Is
land, the Parkway event is the only
one in this section which offers purs-
es for fast trotters and PAGERS. The
clubs purses amount to SS,4OO Most
of the prominent stables of the East

PAGERS and trotters in the country. In
all there are twelve races on the pro-

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY
TO HAVE new FIELD

An event of great Importance to the
athletic life of the University of Chi
cago is the construction of the new
grandstand and wall at Marshall
Field. on July l the contractors be-
gan to demolish the famous old fence
which has surrounded the athletic
field. This fence was built by the
students of the University, led by A.
A. Stagg, the director of Athletics, in
the spring of 1898, when the athletic
field occupied only one of the two
large city blocks which are now called
Marshall Field. The University board
of trustees has appropriated 100000
for the building of the new stand and
wall. Architecturally, both of these
are to be constructed in harmony with
the adjoining buildings on the cam
pus. They will. however, be unlike
the buildings in material. both being
made of reinforced concrete.
The wall is to have a general height
of fifteen and a half feet. fourteen
feet at Ellis Avenue and seventeen
feet at Lexington avenue. so as to
be adapted to~the grade of Fifty-sev-
enth street. The wall will be relieved
by buttresses every eighteen feet, at
each one of which Will be sockets for
fifteen-foot flag pole. There will
be two upright panels between success
sive buttresses. The ticket booths will
be artistically set into the wall at the
SIX different entrances.
The grandstand is being built along
the west side of the field on Ellis av-
enue, extending four hundred and
eighty-three feet. There will be thir-
ty-four tiers of seats, entrance to
which will be made through the large
central tower and the two round tow
ers at the ends: and also through nu-
merous walls at two different levels in
the stand. There is to be a spacious
promenade at the top of the stand.
With the extra seats which can be
placed in front, it will be possible to
seat twelve thousand in the grand
stand alone With the completion of
this stand and the one on the east
side of the field, it is estimated that
twenty-five to thirty thousand people
will be able to see the football games
next fall. The contractor agrees to
have the stand ready for occupancy
by the first of October and il is plan
ned TO have the dedicatory exercises
on the day of the first conference
game, which will be with Indian Uni
versity on october S.

commenced calling strikes and though
Ried ran all of the way in from the
field and ran to the plate. there were
two strikes on him before he got in
position. This is a new way of speed
ing up game.
Berger wanted $500 monthly to play
with Walla Walla. Next we hear
that Pendleton has signed him with
expectations of his landing the Walla
Walla series and eventually the PEN
nant for them. Speaking of salary
limlts.-Walla Walla Union. Maybe
Berger asked Walla Walla for $500
and maybe he didn't. At any rate he
accepted considerably less than that
amount from Pendleton. However, it
is just possible that it would take con-
siderable more money to get him to
play with the Washington city. 1t
sometimes requires fat salary to
overcome other objections.
Garrett seems to have just grounds
for protesting the first game which
he pitched against Boise last week.
The official rules. designated by the
league bylaws. state that a pitcher
shall be allowed to pitch five balls at
the commencement of each inning be-
fore the order to play ball is given.
President Sweet took 1t upon himself
to modify this ru;e and cut the num-
Der down to three. This was done
without any notification to Garrett
until he had delivered three balls,
when Umpire Golden broke the news
to him. The result was that Garrett
lost his own game in the first inning
by his wildness. The Pendleton man
