Is Enthusiastic Over Proposed Re
port for keokuk ,Nauvoo and Fl.
Madison Trolley
MAY DO WORK SOON
Says That Road Can be Completed by
Next July if Some Work Is
Done This
Winter.
MAY DO WORK SOON

r. q. Kirk OF Minneapolis, MINI,
expert construction engineer. has
completed weeks work of general
survey and investigation of the pro-
posed route OF the Keokuk, Nauvoo
and Fort Madison interurban line and
returned to make his report to the
company. Mr.. Kirk WAS here In the
interests Of tho Keokuk, Nauvoo and
Fort Madison Electric Railway com
pany and, although non-committal as
to the probable outcome Of his visit,
the simple fact that he was sent here,
and that his report Is to be favor
able one. Is indicative.
The X. n. G. F. NJ. company was In
corporated during the past year. 1t
has for its incorporators prominent
men of this section and monied men
of the twin cities. It's purpose is the
construction Of an interurban line
from four corners junction few
miles south OF East Fort Madison,
with lines running directly into Maui
VOC, East Fort Madison, Carthage,
Hamilton and terminating In Keokuk.
Right of way leases are qualified to
the completion of the road by July
list next
The actual survey of the route has
been made for some time, and the
road has already been built on paper.
Mr.. Kinks visit was not connected
with the mapping of the line, but,
being an expert on construction mat
tiers, his report will concern the labor
required for grading, the time neces-
sary, and the actual cost Of construc-
ton.
The engineer is not only favorable
in his views concerning the proposed
route but Is certain that his estimate
will be within ten per cent Of what
the road will cost. According to him
there are very few difficulties to be
overcome in the construction, and II
is not in the least out of the question
that the road can be completed by
next July, especially if some little
work is done this winter. With the
exception of getting off the hill into
East Fort Madison and Hamilton the
company has an almost level right OF
way making construction work very
easy.
Mr.. Kirk and others connected
with the present enterprise are max
ing no bald statements that the road
will. be completed at the set time
They point to the many previous
similar enterprises which have failed
and are content to let their intentions
be shown by actual work. rather
than forecasts.

PROTECT UPPER RIVER

Seek Protection for Upper

Register and Leader: General Blk
by, chief Of engineers, has transmit
ted the report to congress on the
improvement of the Des Moinesl riv.
er. He favors the proposition Of CIV
ing the Des Moines River Power
company the right to build fourteen
dams below the Scott street district
and between there and the mouth of
the river, including one at Keosauqua
and one at Kiibourn and one, to be
constructed by the municipality at OF
tumwa.
The report contains statement Of
tho report of Colonel Richie on the
survey Of the Des Moines river. 1t
appears that in his report Colonel
Richie suggested two plans CT river
Improvement. One was for twenty
two locks and twenty-three dams be-
tween Des Moines and the mouth OF
the river with uniform lift of tweive
feet each. This plan would be chief
ly one for improv ement to naviga-
ton father than a water power plan,
The other was for seventeen dams
with an average lift of sixteen and a
half feet. This plan would improve
the Des Moines both from water
power and navigation standpoint.
The cost of this latter plan would
be $7.225,000 and $4,000 for main
tenance, the dams to revert to the
government in seventy-fiye years. Col
onel Richie, however, was opposed to
carrying out this improvement as an
Independent scheme. He was adverse
to it except as a part of a general
plan Of improvement of the upper
Mississippi and lis tributaries and
this is the attitude of the chief of en-.
gineers. At the same time. he favors
allowing private concern to con.
struct the dams already indicated.
Representative Pepper and Ken
! nedy, along with members Of con
gress from Illinois, will appear before
the house committee on rivers and
harbors Monday in behalf of the plan
to extend the jurisdiction OF the
Mississippi river commission north as
far as Rock Island. If this Is done,
it will mean that government money
can be used to protect the banks OF
the Mississippi as far north as Rock
Island from flood ravages.

RETTUNG KEEPS MEN AFLoAr
New Material Invented In Germany
May Replace Old Life Preservers-
Successful Tests Made.

The Hague.-Most interesting DEM
onstrauons were made recently at the
Hook OF Holland by the crew OF the
hfeboat with the new safety girdles
made OF material called "rettung''
(saving), which possesses the prop
erty OF keeping those who wear it
afioat IN the water. Previously the
first demonstration IN Holland had
been given before the queen and
prince consort on one OF the orna-
mental lakes in the zoo palace garden.
A few days later the Rotterdam river
police tried II and then at the special
request OF the prince consort, who IS
always to the fore where anything
having TO do with life saving is con.
cerned, the Lifeboat society OF South
Holland arranged a test, at which
Prince Henry himself was q most In.
terested spectator.
The test was made in the open sea
near the north pier. The lifeboat crew
all wore girdles OF "rettung," which
they declared did not incommode
their rowing at all. as It was much
more comfortable than the old-fash.
Toned life saving belts.
Hollands champion swimmer, Mr.
Ooms. who also wore the "rettung,"
over which was seaman's heavy oil
cloth coat, and who had requested TO
be permitted to Join IN the demonstra.
ton, was the first to jump overheard.
For while he floated on his back
full length, then he swan in all sorts
OF positions, and at last tried to dive,
but this he found was quite impossi
BILE, owing to the buoyant qualities OF
the material. Some OF the Hfeboat
men next tried the experiment, and
all were entirely satisfied that ''ret-
tung" will prove a most valuable ally
in their struggle with the elements
when next they go on a life saving ex.
pedition.
