present bridge facilities for railroad
and other traffic at Keokuk. This is
one of many projects growing out Of
the development of this tremendous
power
New conditions have arisen in a
dozen cities within the power zone,
but especially at Keokuk. New indus,
tries are coming in and old ones ex-
panding, as result of the develop
ment of cheap power. Industrial
tracts have been bought by the city
and are being provided with railroad
facilities and the equipment essential
for the location OF new factories. The
streets have already been extended
and improved, and roads In the ada
cent counties developed. The first
boom In real estate since 1856 is on,
and every department Of trade Is astir
with new enterprise.
These new forces of commercial
ism and the old influences of intellec-
tualism must commingle, and If they
can coalesce, not antagonize, the pro-
duct should be a Keokuk as beau.i-
full and as high-mlnded as ever, and
far more broad in influence.

Powers Of Much Heralded Branch

The divining rod and other devices,
both mechanical and electrical, for de-
tecting the presence of water under
ground are condemned by the United
States geological survey in water sup
ply paper No. 225, dealing with the
subject of subsurface water for farm
purposes.
The forked branch of the dowser,
it is said, usually turns downward at
places where the operators exper-
fence has led him to believe that
water may be found.
The uselessness of the divining rod
lis indicated by the facts that it may
be worked at will by the operator,
that he fails to detect strong water
currents in tunnels and other chan
nels that afford no surface indica-
lions of water, and that his locations
in limestone regions, where water
flows in well.defned channels, are no
more successful than those dependent
on mere guess.
In fact. its operators are successful
only in regions in which ground water
occurs in definite sheet of porous
material or in more Or less clayey
deposits, such as pebbly clay or till
In such regions few failures can oc.

The police received a call late yes

employee that man had just been
swept through the dam by the water
and that the man was clinging to his
skiff, and for them to get help to him
at once.
Two launches were secured and
within. few moments were searching
the river below the dam, but could
find no trace of either the man or
boat, although the search was contin.
ued until late in the night.
The man who gave the alarm was
John CLANCY, who is employed on
the big work in the river and he re
ported that he saw the boat come
through the dam near the Illinois
shore. AS it struck the rough water
on the lower side the boat was over
turned and the man was thrown out,
but succeeded in holding on to the
overturned skiff.
Clancy went to one of the Offices
on the works and asked James Devine
to call the police, which he did

ANNIVERSARY OF
GETTYSBURG BATTLE
Preparations are Now Under Way
for the Celebra-
ton.

All the lumber composing the in
augural stand at the capitol, that OF
which the cour. of honor was made,
and other. pieces aggregating some
100000 feet, have been bought by a
contractor with which to make tent
floors to accommodate the crowds
that will assemble on July 2, 8 and 4
to commemorate the 50sh anniversary
Of the battle Of Gettysburg. Congress
appropriated $4,000 for the ceremo-
MES incident to the Inauguration, in
Guiding the erection Of the stand at
the capitol, and the contractor paid
1920 for the lumber used about the
capitol, doing also the wrecking work
at his own expense.
How the little town of Gettysburg
will be able to house the myriads that
will throng there next July is one OF
the knottiest problems in connection
with the celebration. Gettysburg
boasts only one hotel of any size,
and that easily could be filed by the
committees and their guests alone.
Private houses will be available. Of
course, but it Is estimated that no
less than 100000 persons will journey
to Gettysburg in the course Of the
celebration and all of them must be
fed and most of them provided with
sleeping places The tents will afford
sufficient shelter for sleeping pur-
poses, if one is not too particular, but
the task Of providing enough tents g
difficult one.
Transportation is another serious
question. Only one railroad track, Of
the Western Maryland, runs into the
town, and the railroad managers have
been drawing all kinds of lines on
pieces of paper in making their plans
to take care of the crowd. Spur tracks
will be built by the dozen and the
managers hope to take care of every
body, but If 1t is impossible to get a
train into Washington on time during
Inauguration week it will be hun
dred times harder to approach Gettys.
burg. However, the committee expect
to solve all their problems satisfac-
torily, even If they must resort some
what to the military system of caring
for people for short time. Warm
weather at least can be guaranteed
and the friends of the blue and the
gray must prepare to stand a modern
edition of some of the hardships OF
the men who fought the greatest
battle in the history of the world.
No American should fail to visit the
field Of Gettysburg. 1t is the most In
spring spectacle in the United Sta.es
and, thanks to the fostering care Of
the government, is today playground
rather than battlefield. More than
20 miles OF fine boulevard run
through the field, the lines showing
the positions OF the various commands
are all preserved with imperishable
markings and the field is dotted with
hundreds of monuments and other
memorials which tell their own story
Gettysburg is "a miles from Washing
ton, over an automobile road which
is excellent except for the last eight
miles, and presumably this rough
stretch will be improved before the
celebration opens. It is sane proph
eey that before long the attention o.
the country will center upon Gettys
burg as 1t never has on any CONNER
cial exposition ever organized.

PROMINENT WINTER VISITOR
Former Michigan Law Maker Enjoying
Brownsville Climate.

Hon. Benjamin f. Graves, a former
state legislator in the Michigan legisla-
ture, and a retired lawyer, is spending
a few weeks in Brownsville. Mr.. Graves
is accompanied by his wife and they are
on an extended tour of the state. Their
home is at Adrian, Mich, and every win
ter they make journeys to southern and
more pleasant chimes to get away from
the frozen north.
Mr.. Graves has been in Brownsville
a week. He is very enthusiastic as to the
future Of the Valley, believing that it is
destined to be the foremost agricultural
section in the United States. Upon be-
ing informed of the great strides this
city has made in the past few years, he
stated that it showed that its residents
are remarkably energetic and indus
triOus, and he predicted even a greater
growth within the next few years.
Last winter Mr.. and Mrs. Graves
spent the winter in Cuba and on various
islands in the. Caribbean Sean. They
have several times crossed the state of
Texas but never before viewed the coun-
try, except through car windows. They
are making their present tour by easy
stages, stopping here and there, and
learning the conditions of the cities and
towns as they go. Mr.. and Mrs. Graves
will 60 from here to San Antonio, where
they expect to spend several weeks. and
then will continue to other points in the
state. They came to Brownsville from
Houston and Corpus Christi, where they
spent several DAYS.
