CIVIC EXPERTS ADVICE.

The following from the Omaha
Daily News OF January 6th, will be
of interest to the people of Keokuk
who are just Tow doing some city
planning:
George E. Kessler. member OF the
ST. Louis city planning commission,
in letter TO Thomas R. Kimball OF
the Omaha commission, states it is
necessary that any city planning com
mission cooperate with city officials.
In some cases, he writes, il becomes
necessary for the commission TO DC

the city oaicialz from losing interest.

Those who are able 10 buy clothes

the length of time the really good

If they paid about $4,000 for il, the
same coat could be had ready made

$500.
II the workingman can manage to
put such a coat on his back, the
cost of the garment per year Of its
wear might not be over $50 to $500.

Much has been written OF late III
the state and more distant papers OF
the beauties of what is now known
as The Kings Canyon Road.
But few realize from what this fa-
nous auto road sprung and the trou-
bles OF the earlier settlers OF Ormsby
County that the road was originally
constructed to overcome.
In the history OF Ormsby County
we learn that owing to the grand rush
attending the settlement OF the coun-
ty, many being attracted by the dis
covery OF silver mines. the roads
were found grossly inadequate to as
commodate all those who wanted to
travel on them. The roads. i'll fact.
were nothing more than what the
early emigrants had left. and ior the
former very ordinary travel or the
pa sing from one bend OF the river
tc the other they at that time served
every purpose, or in crossing the
valleys or even for penetrating the
foothills or canyons they were pass
able but were in no sense able to
accommodate the new incoming prai-
lie schoonerS. heavy wagons with
machinery. and dashing stage
coaches.
The necessity for good roads wa.
great and the chance very rosy for
individual enterprise in making toll
roads was eagerly grabbed at ny
many. Several men became wealthy
i'll building these private toll roads
some of the enterprises paying for
their making twice in the space OF
one year.

! ciates were granted by enactment OF

OLD VETERAN
IMPROVING

Sheriff Stern this morning received
word from the Yontsville Soldiers
Home in California, advising him that
the old veteran now being cared for
in this city, left that institution last
March of his own free will and ac-
cord and that there is of course no
way by which he can be forcibly re-
turned there, as commitment to the
Homes is not compulsory.
The old gentleman rested well la st
night and it is thought that in a day
or two he may be found so improved
that it will be safe to allow him 10
proceed upon his way.
The funds he has with him and the
regular pension of twenty-five dollars
each month makes it easier than if
he were dependent.
