phasizes the great command which
Keokuk has over the power zone ter
ritory.
What keokuk Has to Offer.
In nutshell Keokuk can offer
cheap power, moderate freight rates.
proximity to markets of the Middle
West, good railroad facilities, water
transportation with outlet to the
Gulf, and a half hundred more minor
advantages.
In regard to power there are these
advantages:
First, there is the maximum OF
safety in continuity of service.
Second, factories using one hun.
dred horsepower OR more, if located
at Keokuk, will get their power at a
reduced rate.
The Railroads at keokuk.
Keokuk is fortunate in its railroad
transportation facilities.
1t has three large railroads, name
ly, the Burlington, Rock Island and
Wabash, in addition to the Toledo.
Peoria and Western railway, a line
Jointly owned by the Pennsylvania
and Burlington systems, running from
Keokuk through Peoria to point on
1 the Illinois-Indiana line where 1t con.
meets with the Pennsylvania lines.
There are also two branches of the
Burlington in addition to the main
north and south line, one Of these
branches extending to the Missouri
river through counties in northern
4 Missouri and southern Iowa.
Railroad development has been car.
! ried far in territory tributary to Keo
kuk. There is not point in the
/ state of Iowa more than ten miles
from a railroad The states of Iowa
! Illinois and Missouri have one-seventh
of the total railroad mileage of the
United States.
Great Agricultural Market.
Keokuk is the central market fol
the most prosperous farmers of the
United States. The three creates,
corn producing states Of the Union
converge at Keokuk All the golt
and silver mined in all the countries
of the earth do not equal in one yeal
the annual value of the corn crop o.
the United States, and one third o
this crop is produced in Iowa. Illinois
and Missouri.
The United States census show!
that the centers of farm values ant
of corn production are in Illinois
only few miles from Keokuk. TIL,
centers of wheat and oats production
are in Iowa. The population cen
ter, now in Ohio, is rapidly movini
west and in the course Of few year.
inevitably will be on the Mississippi
river.
Keokuk owes much to the Mississ
ippi river. Wherever there is a bi,
body of water like the Mississippi ri,
er, railroads must necessarily take cog
nizance Of it in adjusting their freigh
rates. The Mississippi also gives Kec
kuk an outlet to the Gulf and wheI
the Panama canal is completed vii
: give 1t water route direct to all tn
1 world.
The Logical Results.

|, will be the future OF Keokuk? TIL

Should be Rich Territory.

When the fertile Mississippi valley
in the power zone is turned into an
industrial center without affecting the
agricultural pursuits, the territory
should become the richest in the West
ern Continent. 1t will mean combi-
nation of agriculture and manufacture

the great Mississippi river, is potert

to tell story of wonderful growsh
and prosperity.

100000 in the great enterprise hopes
to attract the manufacturers.
The building of the dam here with
its great facilities for furnishing power
to points nearly one hundred and fry
miles distant means a great awaken
ing in the industrialism Of the Mississ-
ippi valley. 1t means the bringing of
factories in to build up the territory
now devoted almost entirely to farming.
1t should make the power zone tho
greatest manufacturing center in the
country.
This must naturally come. As point
ed out early in this article, manufact
urers go to the place where power Is
produced, and if Keolsuk has the great
est power producing plant in the world
such magnet is certain to attract.
Richest Zone In the Country.
| While cities in the power zone WIN
rival each other in securing the new
Industries, Keokuk will have decid-
ed advantage as 1t can show that other
things are equal.
| How soon the factories will come
depends upon the effort extended by
the cities where power can be distrih-
uted. When the power plants were
built at Niagara Falls there were no
factories, but as soon as the power
was turned on they began to come one
by one, until the territory is dotted
by factories.
An Industrial Dream
And just SO will 1t be in the Power
j Zone and especially in and about
i Keokuk. This city could not expect
factories to come long before the
electric power was ready for CON
sumption, but now that it Is being put
on the market the time is ripe for se-
curing new industries. And there is
nothing that would do SO much good
for Keokuk as factories. This city
has everything else and is ideally
located for a manufacturing center
j keokuk hopes to realize this dream
just as she has realized the dream Of
water power development in the Mis-
!, sissippi river Factories may not
come in day, month or year,
but it is conservatively said that
i, within ten years there should be a
marked increase in the Industrial ac-
!, tivity of this city.

KLAUS BATTLES
NJ GOORTY FOR
MIDDLE TITLE.

u HICAGO, Sept. 29.-Back in 1908,
June 4, to be exact Milwaukee
was alive with fight fans who
gathered to see the bringing out of d
new champion. Stanley Ketchel who
won ten round battle from Billy
Papke by a big margin. Tonight in
that same city another gathering OF
fight fans viii witness Frank Klaus
of Pittsburg and Eddie McGoorty go
ten rounds.
The clash won't mean the bringing
out OF a new champion, but mighty
near such thing. for though Jack
Dillon and Jimmy Clabby have a right
to dispute any one claiming such
honors, NcGoOrty and Klaus to-day
hold the highest rank in the middle
weight division. In short, the victor
tonight. if the victory be decisive, will
loom up as the man the others must
beat to dispute his title
There will be no decision at the
close of ten rounds. should the battle
go the full distance, for referees deci-
sions are barred by the laws that
govern the game, but the newspaper
boys will be at the ringside to tell the
merits of the game
To-night's clash carries with it in
ternational interest. Not that either
of the lads halls from foreign shores,
but because Of their battles abroad.
Both McGoorty and Klaus have
fought in the far-off lands and each is
known all over the world. Klaus is
famed abroad for his decisive win
over Georges Carpenter. the French
champion, and for his victory over
Billy Papke, another battle fought on
foreign grounds.
Other minor bouts have been waged
in France by Klaus. but these made
him known to the foreign ring. His
American worth has been Of top
notch caliber, hence the unprecedented
scribes' reason for handing him the
best in the 15S-pOund division.
