led industries, but it is careful of its
claims concerning them. A booklet is
sued by Rochester says: Rochester
is not engaged in a mad scramble to
locate factories here regardless OF
their prosperity or their effect on the
city. The city now has over 1,40O fac.
tories engaged in the production OF
over 325 different classes of articles
It is the desire Of the Chamber OF
Commerce to supplement these fac
tories with others that will be OF
mutual value rather than specifically

the expense of those now located. y
The booklet sent out by Rochester is

This brings up to the advertising
plan adopted by Keokuk and some OF
the salient features pertaining to the
city which should, under the ordinary
conditions Of a city's development
bring in a good class of factories and
many of them. The essentials are
First, adoption of proper methods
OF carrying on the advertising.

If a city is to double or triple in the
immediate future OF say ten to twenty.
five years the modern tendency should
be to provide carefully for this ex-
panse and see that the growth Is in
the right direction. Keokuk has taken
the right step to do this, not only
with that view in mind, but also
to be able to provide suitable factory
sites for the new industries Two
tracts have been purchased and will be
laid out along scientific lines One is a
tract of $50 acres; the other has only
sixty-six acres Here is something to
offer the newcomer 1t is important in
its relation to one seeking new To-
i cation.
The transportation facilities which
Keokuk has to offer are excellent.
Seven railroads run in and out, close.
ly connected with the greatest trans
continental lines of the country. In
addition there is the mighty Missis-
sippi river. which is always navigable
for miles to the north and south, and
makes shipping by water convenient
and cheap means of transporting raw
material and the finished product
Besides having the best and least
expensive means Of reaching the mar
kets Of the United States, Keokuk has
tremendous advantage in It's com
mand upon the raw materials of our
own country. and this l. something
the city has to offer to the outside
world. The Mississippi valley is one
of the greatest sections in the world
for the production of grain, and Keo-
kuk is in the very heart of this sec
ton, at the conyerging point of three
states. Such raw materials, as ores,
minerals, lumber, grain, wool, hides,
iron, steel, cotton, tobacco, etc, are
to be found in the states surrounding
keokuk, and it is not exagerating
to say that in the not distant future
Keokuk should be the great market
| for all these products.
Pleasure to Live Here.
While it is we'll to emphasize in adj
tyertising matter what Keokuk has to
| offer along the lines outlined above
lit would be a mistake to overlook one
really important thing, andsg that is
that Keokuk is a pleasant place tc
live in. The schools, churches, hotels
lamusements, climatic conditions and
various other things whsc1l go to
make up the pleasantries of city
are not to be found lacking.
| Keokuk is striving to advertise
something that is well worth adj
vertising. 1t is not resorting to
the old booklet method of advertis
| ing something which it has not, but
| is going about the proposition in
| a true business like manner, with
something behind it all that is big
The city has something to sell and
modern methods of craftsmanship are
being resorted to. If Keokuk does not
show marked increase in every di
rection within the next ten years il
will only be because of extraordinary
circumstances that has weighed like
ton of rock around the neck of a
drowning man.

The above figures are the reasons
why the present commissioners do
not see any reason why the city can
not go into debt by the issuance of
bonds to do certain work which is
now very urgent. BY increasing the
Indebtedness Keokuk would be able
to put the streets in proper condition
and remove this one big fault which
is always being found.

AN FRANCISCO, GALE, Mch.1.-
Luther McCarty's seeming disin-
~ cIination to meet Bombardier
Wells in a 10 round. decisionless bout
in New York has raised quite a cOntro-
vefsy. and from what the writer can
gather the majority of the critics seem
to think the Bombardier has the best
OF the argument.
Wen, as the pugiIist world ways now
a-days, it is no very serious cOmpl1ca-
ton, nor can McCarty be charged with
any very violent otfense against
Queensbury ethics il he sets his face
against the 10 round, no decision pro
position to the very last.
What the writer would like to know
is why BOmbardier is so persistent In
holding out for a short bout, and why
he is content to dispense with the ser
vices OF a referee
MeCarty Has Been Busy.
To bark back a little This fellow
McCarty has been commercially busy
man since the process OF wedding out
the hopes of the world began Fired BY
the ambition TO get into the title Of
white champion he has engaged In sew
eral contests and among those who
were considered the toughest pale faced
heavyweight set.
He beat Al kaufman in jig time and
he took a little longer to dispose of
that Tock-ribbed warrior, Jim Flynn
With his hands crippled and only
week or two between fights he went
against the hardest Of them all-AL.

This match when it was arranged,
looked like the final test for Ameri-
can heavies and to add eclat to the
occasion promoter Tom McCarey fur

and the very next day the sports began

In the meantime, one Jesse Willard,
who had Out-pointed Luther AIcCarty
in an eastern short bout. began TO in

les
why don't you box Jess willard FOR

Billy Mccartney was asked.
Well, it does not matter much what
Billy said. The one thing apparent
was that there was a desire TO side
track Willard in favor. of the Bonn
barber. Something was sprung about
the lls-McCarty prospects having
an International flavor and it was ar
gued that there was nothing to pre-
vent Willard hooking up with the win

After all the nice things the English

This line of talk is no better and no
worse than the ordinary 'gufts that
emanates from riugmen who are as
rule more bOastful than belligerent- In
proposing to fight a real Championship
battle later the Bombardier is putting
the cart before the horse. We should

As to claiming McCarty's title the
BOmbardier had better wait until Nc
Carly defaults in an out-aud-Out cham
piOnship contest Championships are not
disturbed by nO-decision bouts or by
failure to engage in them.
AS for following Luther around the
country and challenging him wouldn't
it be the deuse If Wells ran across
Willard in some wild and woody west
ern spot where Jess is not barred2
And wouldn't it be terrible If Jess
said; Seeing as how you can't land
your going back to England without a
match I'll fight you myself
Wen, whichever way the cat jumps
will be the right way There are no
hard and fast rules for top notch fight
ers to follow. and if Wells can badger
McCarty into a l0-round, no-decision
match no one Will blame Wells.
But BOmbardier Billy's present course
is not overwhelming proof that he
really means business" OF two evils

nO-decision flutter. he seems inclined
to choose the lesser.

derately experienced chorus. We
sic loving people of the city join the
chorus. Those who will take an ac-

amply repaid both because of the
quality of the music sung and thru it's
inspiring culture. Come join the
chorus any Monday evening at the
