There are in Chattanooga two ele-
CANT passenger stations. The Termi-

one block of where all the street cars
of the city pass at close intervals
Both stations are on car lines that con-
meet with others for all parts OF the
city on good schedules.
Chattanooga is favorably known to
all tourists. 1t is regarded as one of
the most convenient railroad points in
the south, because of both it's through

can rival it. Missionary Ridge, to the
east. Lookout Mountain to the south
west, Orchard Knob, within the city
limits, and Chickamauga Park, twelve
miles south, in Georgia, on the trolley
line, were all scenes of conflict during

no matter where the visitor is from, he
can find spots of interest to visit
places that will interest him, on &C
count of associations participated in
by soldiers from his part of the coun-

NEW PATENT HERE
Montrose Man Has Device to Pre-

Trains.

Arrangements have been made by
which four or five days demonstra-
ton Of patent designed to prevent
railroad wrecks will be given in Keo-

Montrose man, George Ans, and the
work will be done by Henry Weigold
and c. w. Miller and company of
Fort Madison
The demonstration will be given on
the third floor of the building at Third
and Main street. known as the old

that the Fort Madison promoters
would be here today with their mod
els but for some reason they did not
show up They are expected tomor-
row, however.
The patent according to a descrip-
ton in the Fort Madison Gem City,
is designed to prevent both head-on
and rear-end crashes. Patented air
brakes working on a third rail are
the means of stopping the trains. Two
model trains have been built with
which to start the demonstration.

II the present plans of the Lee

ried out, petition will be presented
to the state board OF control asking
permission to remove some Of the in
curables from the hospital for the In
sane at Mount Pleaasnt to the Lee
county home.
The insane patients are kept at
Mount Pleasant for $14 per month,
Supervisor Young stated today. They
can be kept at the county home for
about SIS, and permission will be ask
ed to take some of the cases to the
home near Summitville.
The Lee county board Of supervis-
ors with Superintendent Robert Hart
has returned from an inspection of
the hospital at Mount Pleasant There
they found 122 inmates from. Lee
county The majority of these are
old persons and some are quite feeble.
There are only sixteen in the ward
at the county home, and the super
visors believe that they can take as
good care of the patients who are in
durable as the state hospital with it's
Logo inmates, can.
1t is the personal opinion of Super
visor Young that some of the inmates
of the hospital should be sent to the
school for the feeble minded at Glen
wood. In this school they are taught
many things which 1t is impossible to
do in a big crowded hospital, and
under the code, pupils can be admit
ted to the school for the feeble mind
ed until they are AZ years of age.
The board found that the Lee coun-
ty inmates at Mount Pleasant are all
being we'll cared for. They are in
sympathy with the work, and 1t is not
for any reason except that of finances
and possible bstterment of conditions
that any move Is contemplated.

body will refer the matter to DR..

At the national rivers and harbors
congress at Washington, which l.. A.

Improvement Association, and from
Keokuk, Mack l.. Harding, terminal
engineer was instructed to draw plans
of terminals to be used by ali Of the
river cities, including Keokuk..
Mr.. Hamill this afternoon sally that
Harding was in conference with Thos.
Wilkinson, president of the Upper
River association, and also with the
vice president. The result of the SEES
sion with this expert terminal engi-
neer was the ordering of plans.
These plans affect only cities on the
river. and have to do only with river
traffic. The use of the terminals
which Mr.. Harding has planned is that
boats may load and unload like at the
lake cities. This is not done now,
and the need for uniformity in this
work is a crying one, it is felt.
In fact, the United States govern
iiiIhl las lCiI lOi Soulc Lllll6 Ludt tIS
cities should put in something of this
kind. Terminal facilities should be
increased the government has been
preaching, and now 1t is asking the
river towns to enlarge these facilities.
The cities themselves, In many
cases, begin to realize that they are
not keeping pace with the work the
government is doing. Where govern
ment work has been done as in the
instance of the old canal and the new
lock here. the -city's terminal facili-
ties are way behind the governments
improvements.
1t is for this reason that the upper
river association is authorizing the
drawing of these plans. Mr.. Harding
displayed some that he had completed
for certain of the cities, already.
This morning at the executive COM
mittee meeting of the Industrial ASSOC
citation Mr.. Hamill gave q short report
of his Washington trip. The Importance
of the coming of the subcommittee OF
the interstate commerce committee to
Keokuk in the inter-city bridge matter
was emphasized by Mr.. Hamill.
