He is always happy and is usually

No man in America has more friends

met thousands OF people, who, at

became warmly attached to him.
There are hundreds OF thousands more
who have never met him personally

They are the ones who have been
reached by his verse, for so sympa-

be hard indeed, to find a man, woman
or child who does not appreciate Riley.
Although Mr.. Riley is recognized as
a great poet by critics OF the starnest
school, he prefers to be known as an
humble singer who raises his voice
that humanity may be benefited by a

the good elements of everything and
SO optimistic is his philosophy that he
has never found 1t necessary even to
hint at the sordid things of life.

The following from the Burlington
Hawk-Eye of Saturday morning indi-
Gates the activity OF the Mississippi
River Power Co. in its efforts to get
ready to sell the electrical current to
be created by the building of the big
water power at Keokuk:
An unexpected action was the filing
by the Mississippi RiTer Power Co.
which is constructing the big hydro
electric dam at Keokuk. through its
vice president, Hugh Cooper. of a pc
tition with the city council yesterday
morning. asking for twenty-five year
franchise to distribute electrical en-
ergy in the city OF Burlington from the
big power dam at Keokuk
Following the request for fran
chise on the part of a local compang.
made up of prominent Burlington
business men and capitalists, and
known as the Burlington Power Co,
whose proposition did not meet the
approval of the council, this new move
adds an interesting feature to the
local situation, as it related to cheap
Ell power for manufacturing and other
Uses.
The council naturally has taken no
steps thus far in the matter of Mr.
Cooper's proposal for franchise. But
next Monday morning the petition
will be Brought UP at the regular ses
sion for consideration. Attorney F
E. Blake, of Burlington, the legal rep
resentative of the power company
who filed the petition and copy Of
the ordinance which the power com
pany desires to have adopted is anx
ious for a reasonably early decision
on the part of the officials. 1t is pro
posed to have the question submitte,
to the voters of Burlington on the reg
ular election day, November 5. Shout,

One of the city officials, in comment
ing on Mr.. Cooper's letter, stated that
conditions in Fort Madison are vastly
different than here, inasmuch as Bur.
lington has an underground district.
iii which territory all wires must be
buried
Attorney Blake, referring briefly to
the submission of the application for
franchise, stated that the Missis-
sippi River Power Co., of which
he is chief counsel in no wise ex-
poets to enter into the retail field,
and the ordinance specifically states
that no amount of current less than
50-horse power will be sold to any one
firm or individual The inference was
drawn from Mr.. Blake's statement
that the power company officials did
not expect to compete with Mr.. Walsh
but that Mr.. Walsh might obtain cur
rent from the Keoknk company. There
are but few manufacturers in the city
using more than 90 horse power oil
electrical energy.
