Welcome Additional Lines.

Des Moines men who have kept in
touch with negotiations at Osklaoosa
point out that an interurban line from
Keokuk to Des Moines could be al
most entirely supplied with power
from the river. The new dam at
Keokuk probably would aid in such
project
Additional interurbans into Des
Moines will be welcomed by local
business men. They will do all in
their power to aid the Mckinley
syndicate in forwarding any plans that
will result in new interurban service
into the city.

KEEN INTEREST
IN new Line.
Buying Of oskaloosa Traction System
by the Mckinley Syndicate Is
an Important Move for
keokuk.
NEW INTERURBAN LINE
II is Believed That the Mckinley
Syndicate VIII Build a Line
From keokuk to the
Iowa Capital.

That the Illinois Traction company,
known as the Mckinley syndicate, is
preparing to construct an interurban
from Keokuk to Des Moines in few
years is believed by Des Moines pro-
motors to be the significance of the
purchase Of the Oskaloosa Traction
company and the Oskaloosa and Bux-
ton interurban by the Illinois capital
lists, which was announced in the Reg
lister and Leader yesterday morning.
w. H. Thomson, general manager of
the Des Moines Electric company, also
owned by the Illinois Traction com
pany, yesterday said that he was un-
able to announce any of the plans of
the company. In his opinion the Des
Moines valley is the best interurbap
field in Iowa at the present time, and
ut is SO considered by railway pro-
motors. He asserted that the COM
pany has no definite plans for any
extensions this year, but that the
Oskaloosa plant Is an important link
in proposed line from Keokuk to
Des Moines, and that he would not be
surprised in a few years to see the
two cities connected. especially if
Keokuk develops into the manufacture
ing city which it is expected to be by
reason of the cheap electrical power
of the Keokuk dam
If Keokuk becomes an important
manufacturing center by reason of its
cheap power, there will be need of
some line to carry the products direct
to the heart of Iowa." said Mr.. Thorn
son. Since there is a prospect of a
public utility law which will guarantee
a fair return on the investment, the
iowa field offers better place for the
investment of capital in railroads and
interurbans than other states
Mr.. Thomson stated that the Nc
Kinley syndicate has been trying to
| buy a number of street railways and
/ light plants in Iowa, but that In all OF
the deals, with the exception OF
Oskaloosa. it was impossible to get
the property at fair price owing to
the watered stock.

PNEUMONIA SEASON
rs NOW AT HAND

watch out for the pneumonia sea-
son,"
This warning was issued today by
the Chicago health department with
the announcement that pneumonia is a
preventabIe disease and that there is
no danger IL the proper precautions are
taken.
But, warns the department, lin the
light of developments of past years, 1t
is safe to say with respect to pneumo-
MIA that the worst is yet to come
THE next eight weeks are likely to
witness the snuffing out of upwards Of
1900 lives by pneumonia in Chicago. In
the eight weeks just passed there were
1.166 deaths from this cause
The department offers the following
advice to prevent pneumonia:
Keep up your physical tone and
your resistance to disease.
Don't frequent crowded, overheated
places. Impure air is tremendous
factor in annihilating resistance to
disease.
The department reports that owing
to the mild winter and the consequent
opening OF houses there has been less
pneumonia this year than formerly.
THE tighter the housing, the lower
the physical tone and the higher the
pneumonia death rate
"The open window is the avenue OF
| escape from pneumonia"
