and pleasure in knowing that he can
not take the dam with him.
DR.. G. Walter Barr said there were
three things most striking in his mind
with the thought of the departure OF
Mr.. Cooper, first how representative
of Keokuk was the body at the ban.
ouet and how general the regret at
Mr.. Cooper's leaving as well as the
pride in his triumph; second. the re-
nown given Keokuk by Hugh L. Coop

many great men, how Mr.. Cooper was
loved and admired most by the men

Heroism Of Mrs. cooper.

Judge Logan told of the first time
Mr. Cooper came to the city to see
the officials of the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power company. Judge
Logan, who had been bothered with
many engineers with much talk and
little to show for it, asked Mr.. Coop
Ter If he ever built dam. Mr.. Coop
Ter took him to Niagara Falls and was
convinced.
He also told of the heroism of Mrs.
Cooper who when her husband was
almost ready to give up the fight to
finance the company and had spent
about all his fortune, told him to
mortgage the house and sell every
thing rather than give up the fight.
Then, if they failed. she said, they
would start life over again in a cot
tage.
C. NJ. Rich told OF conversation
he had with two men and when he
told them that Keokuk was proud to
call Cooper a resident of her city
they answered that when the work
was over and the country realized
what great thing it was. Mr.. Cooper
would cease to be a resident OF Keo-
kuk and would become resident OF
the United States.

Why It Is 8:18

Nearly all the watch signs, probably
20 out OF 100. have their hands set at
S:ls, but comparatively few people
know why this is. 1t is no accident.
w. X. Washburn of New York was
painting a sign for jeweler OF that
city when the news OF the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln. April IA, 1855, was
received in New York and the jeweler
ordered the painter TO paint upon the
dial the exact time when the fatal shot
was fred, namely 8:lS, and so 1t has
continued ever since. Whenever you
see a sign after this recall to yourself
that it points to the fatal moment.

ireadnoughts.
Pearl Harbor Is to be the most
strongly fortified naval base in the
Pacific. II not in the world. The har-
Dor is landlocked and is distant from
Honolulu twelve miles. When the
channels to the east, the middle and
he west locks have been dredged. the
aarbor will be large enough to float
The combined navies Of the world.
The work Of construction has been
ander way more than twelve years
and It was fastened materially after
The Spanish war. and the occupation
by the United States of the Philip
pine Islands.
Hidden forts and disappearing guns
II the latest pattern are to protect the
lew harbor. The guns will use smoke
less powder so as to render their dis
.overy by an enemy more unlikely
han otherwise would be the case.
The most Of the expense in con.
aection with this great undertaking
1as been for the cutting Of chan.
ael through one side of coral reef
10 that vessels can get to deep water
inside the harbor The coral is of the
hardest character and. therefore, the
work has been slow. But the re-
suits will be permanent and there will
,e no need of dredging to keep the
channel open. More than 100000
cubic yards Of coral reef have been
sxcavated to open the approaches to
he inner harbor.
The solid character Of the coral reef
will afford fine foundation for the
craving deck. The drydock has been
planned on a large scale. 1t is 72o
'eet long. no feet wide and fifty-five
'eet deep. large enough in every way

Hawaii has the advantage over the
Philippines as naval base because 1t

.equently American ships can get to
,oaling stations in a comparatively
hort time in the event Of war.
