citation, It had been planned to have
the governors Of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri in Keokuk on August 26. the
day Of the formal dedication, but this
was found impossible owing to he
governors conference at Colorado
Springs which starts August 26. A
decision was then reached to have
the governors Of all eastern states
at Keokuk In order 10 afford
them the opportunity for inspecting
the power plant, the largest OF its
kind In the world.
A special train will be provided for
the governors from Keokuk to Colo
Springs In order that they may
reach there in time FOR the opening

kuk, Iowa, and therefore Its content
was Of unusual Importance in the con.
struction Of the work. Steamboats,
approaching Keokuk from north and
south see this white line of concrete
between the Illinois and Iowa shores
while still many miles away, and It
will be M Of the first points Of in.
terest to be pointed out to the thou
sands WHO will select a river trip as
the most enjoyable way to reach Keo-
kuk for the dedication Of the dam

make the trip In private launches in
order to live on Lake Cooper during
the race regatta of the Mississippi
Valley Power Boat association, to be
held In connection with the dedication
August 20, 81 and rs.
When it came to finding a field
from which the right quality of sand
might be secured, engineers discov.
cred one on the Illinois side, only a
few miles below the dam. In making
the concrete 800, 1000 cubic yards OF
sand we're used, in addition to $780, 900
barrels Of cement. If the sand alone
were loaded on wagons all at one
time, there would be a procession OF
sand carts that would reach from New
York through Denver to the western
boundary Of Colorado. Stone for the
crushers was taken from the bluffs at
both ends Of the dam, largely stone
that had to be excavated anyhow. The
cement came up the river from Han.
nibal, sixty miles below.
There Is a great range Of tempera.
ture at Keokuk during the different
seasons Of the year, and the engineers
found 1t necessary to give a great
deal OF study to the effect this might
have on the concrete structure. The
problem was handled by placing ex-
pansion joints in the top Of the dam,
sheets Of tar paper being suspended
vertically across the structure inside
OF the steel molds when the concrete
was poured in. When this paper rots
out there will be a narrow assure
which will pull apart in cold weather
and close up during the hot season.
After a number Of experiments the
engineers decided that these expansion
joints were necessary only for the
surface work, Is the concrete under
water would be but little affected by
any changes In temperature that
might occur,

GIGANTIC ICE FENDER AT DAM
VIII Control Ice Floss and Hold Ice
In Check, Preventing Damage by
Breaking Of Ice Packs.

One Of the first things that hun.
dreds of people who go to Keokuk.
Iowa, August 26, for the formal open
ing of the S25.0 600 power develop.
ment dam at that point will ask is as
to the use Of the long, curved con
struction line which extends from the
power house far out into Lake Cooper,
that beautiful body Of water over
which the fastest motor boats Of the
middle west will race August 26, q
and 2S. This opens up one of the
most interesting fields for study and
observation in connection with the
water power project, the annual bat,
tie with the ice Of the Mississippi
river. All those who have lived with.
in range OF the Mississippi are famil.
lar with the great gorges that form
each winter.
The gigantic ice fender built in con.
nection with the Keokuk dam is more
than half a mile long, constructed Of
solid concrete, and Is connected with
a floating boom Of an additional reach
Of 500 feet. The fender is a bridge
with piers ten feet In thickness sep.
arating spans sixty feet wide, The
water will flow through the twenty
nine spans. while the ice will be
caught and stopped by the super.
structure. The actual effect Of this
fender will be largely to stop the
actual breaking up Of Ice foes, and to
hold them until they naturally melt
In their beds without moving.
It is thought that Lake Cooper, in
which the current is almost imper-
ceptible, will freeze into a natural
skating rink OF unusual advantages,
and sportsmen who have given the
matter careful thought state that no
point in the United States possesses
greater opportunities for becoming a
a course for speedy skaters that
will attract the champions from all
parts Of the world. When It is con
sidered that Lake Cooper is becoming
known nationally as en- ideal race
course for power boats, Keokuk bids
fair to take a prominent place in the
world of sport. a feature that will
bring attention to the entire surround
ing country.

Except to the trained, technical
mind, little idea Of the magnitude Of
a great engineering feat can be gain
ed from mere figures. Dimensions are
difficult to comprehend unless is
accustomed to deal with them. To
say, however, that the $25. 900, 900 pow
er development dam recently com
pleted at Keokuk, Ia, required $4,000
barrels Of cement as one single item is
sure to arouse interest, and when to this
is added the statement that the pow
er house in connection with the pro
ject has the height Of History sky
scraper, the nearer is face to face
with the realization that n Of the
greatest engineering feats known to
man is pinned to the limestone bed
Of the Mississippi river at that point.

BY the date of the formal opening

which Keokuk has planned the big
gest celebration ever held on the Mis-
sissippi, 1t is hoped to have the entire
plant in operation. Thousands Of mo-
tor boat enthusiasts will be there to
swell the attendance, owing to the
annual regatta of the Mississippi Val

to be held at Keokuk in connection

rades and equipments, magnificent
fireworks displays, and thousands Of
dollars worth Of current consumed in
the Illumination Of the power dam are
only a few Of the features planned.

promised to attend, including the gov
ernors OF Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
Motor boat enthusiasts are looking

thusiasm, for 1t means the initial trials

The lady explained her errand; that
