st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Judging
from the comment on the celebration
of the opening of the great dam across
the Mississippi river at Keokuk the
country is just discovering one of the
most remarkable undertakings and
achievements in human history In
fact, this colossal feat in engineering
was not comprehended until lately in
st. Louis, though this city is the larg-
est one directly interested In the work,
and made its construction possible by
standing ready to be the leading GUS
toner as soon as the machinery was
put In motion. There was business
genius in the conception of this dam
and its uses. Courage was required to
put $27, 600 900 into a plant whose
various features are marked by daring
novelty. The American business imagi-
nation has produced the Panama can
al, the oversee railroad to Key West,
many important irrigation projects,
and now mile-long dam for the gen.
GRAFTON Of electricity by water power.
This field Is comparatively new and
st. Louis is now qualified to show the
world an economic improvement of
the highest significance. The electric
current produced by running water is
the cheapest known form OF supply
and will also be the amplest. There
fore the newspapers OF this country
and Europe are calling attention TO
the Keokuk DAM and many are print
ing illustrations Of an engineering tri
umph that points to change In the
sources OF Industrial and domestic
power, light and heat.
4 1t took intrepidity to dam a cont

pioneer in revolutionizing structure
Many kinds of profitable investments
! were open for these millions, but
there was a charm in the accomplish
ment of project that must necessar

, and labor. 1t is an example of the fac,
| that there Is heroism in business and
, concentrated capital, something finer
. and higher than cent per cent. A spe
cial problem existed in the workings
, Of the dam, and that was to provide
for winter conditions. Any one who

1t is practically an assured fact
that sporting writers on the various
newspapers on the Central Association

ing OF the directors of the G. A. is
held at Burlington September %. Such
an organization would be OF great
benefit not only to the sporting writ

as well. 1t would mean that reports
of games during the playing seaosn
would be gotten out accurately, that
the many fake rumors which are
being circulated about the circuit at
present would be thing OF the past,
and that any real news concerning
the association that would be of in
ftarest to the fans would come out
when it happened and not after it had
become ancient history.
The association is being backed up
by President Justice and the direc-
tors of the c.. A., who realize that the
association of the sporting writer's
would be of great benefit to them
Letters are being sent out 70 vari.

urging them to be present at the G
