The operation of the Keokuk lock
will be seen all over the world early
in July, by which time Pathe Weekly
will have it moving on the screens IN

Putting into commission the largest

their best camera man, B. Stuckman,
to Keokuk to permanently picture it.
The U. S. steamer Emily passed
through from the river below into
Lake Cooper above and the camera
took the closing of the giant lower
gates, the filling OF the lock, the
sinking open of the upper gate, and
the exit Of the boat into the lake. An
especially fine film was obtained and
the pictures are sure to attract much
attention all over the world.

Saloons May Open
at 6 on Election Day

Pierre, May 14-On inquiry of
States Attorney Sergeant of Potter
county the attorney general holds
that chapter 222 of the laws of 1911,
amends section 2S47 of the compiled
laws in regard to the sale of liquor
by saloons after closing of the polls
on election day. The code provisions
prohibit the sale OF liquor. on election
day. Chapter 222 allows saloons to
open after 6 O'clock on such days, but
does not say that they may sell. The
holding is in effect that the right to
open granted by the 1911 law gives
them the right to sell in those hours,
and that the code provision is repeal
ed so far as that particular phase is
concerned.
The attorney general also holds

here t~hirty-five years ago there were
ten buffalo fish in the lake where
there is not one at the present time.
I'll tell you what happened to the
pike-it is that SEEMING business. Some
years ago there were parties Who
used to slip down to the lake at night

them. Then, of course, the constant
fishing in the lake every year has had
a tendency to reduce the number Of
fish, especially pike. The first load
of lumber that ever came to this part
of the country was made into a boat
for Lake Kampeska. The lumber was
hauled from Gary by team and while
the driver went back for another load
Squire Carpenter and myself made a
boat out Of the first load and took it
to Lake Kampeska and enjoyed a boat
ride and caught a boat load Of pike.
in those days we did not need any
fancy bait as the fish would bite On
almost anything. I do not mean to
say that there has not been some
god catches of pike made in recent
years but l will say that pike used to
be a great deal more plentiful in Lake
Kampeska than they are today"
