BY j. p. Allen of the Mississippi River
Power company to Keokuk automo
sbilists, forty-six cars reported at Hub
finger park this morning for the triT
to Montrose over the newly bull
drive.
The cars were arranged In circle
around the park and a panoramic
picture was made OF the machines and
occupants. At 1855 the start was
made, the car of Mr. Allen leading
the way at a speed OF fifteen miles
per hour The car containing the
representatives OF the press ended
the long line.
The new drive which with be com.
pleted early next summer is one OF
the most beautiful In the middle west,
following the edge OF the bluff and
overlooking the river at every point
with the exception of short distance
about half way between Keokuk and
Montrose. Early next summer the
lake formed by the big dam will be
up close to the railroad tracks and
the new road will skirt this lake prac-
tically all the way.
Wonderful views are obtained at
every point in the road, across the
river, into Illinois, and at various
places the whole city of Keokuk ia
visible.
The party who made the trip feel
amply repaid for their participation
and are unanimous In their opinion
that when the macadam is laid OF
top OF the dirt It will make the BEST
drive in this part of the country.
Until one has been over the road it
is impossible to estimate the work
that has been done in order to build
It, Immense amounts Of dirt and
rock have had to be moved in order
to make the big fills and cuts neces-
sary to build the road and the alb
sence of any hills Of any consequence
make it an ideal one for driving pur-
poses.
