DUEL SECRET?

that the latter just missed having all
of these valuable finds for herself
Several years ago the United States
secured from Turkey permission to
make excavations in Tripoli and Cy.
renacca for antiquities.
The work had just nicely begun I'M
der Professor Norton, when Italy de
clared war against Turkey and annex
ed the two countries. This not only
cut off the American concession. but
under the Italian law which prohibits
the expectation from Italian soil of all
works OF antiquity and which makes
these also the property of the state,
there is little chance that any of the
wonderful statues and other ancient
relics unearthed by Professor Norton
will ever get to the United States.
So many antiquities are now being
found that both the ministers of col
onies and public instruction have been
obliged to create special department
for their excavation and preservation.
1t has even been necessary to have
the ltallan soldiers still In the prov
inces carry on the work OF trench dig
ging and fertilization building with Ut
most care, as time after time the SOL
diers have brought to light exquisite
statues and other valuable antiquities.
Most OF the discoveries are of the Ro-
man civilization which fringed the
coast In the early Christian era. Per-
feet mosaic floors have been found un-
der the desert sand. magnificent tombs
catacombs and isolated statues of won
derful workmanship have been uncov-
cred. Other relics also have been
found of the earlier Greek civilization,
and Italian antiquarians are convinced
that discoveries will be made there IN
the next few years which will startle
the world.

also that the operations of the pro-

LOTS OF MEASUREMENTS
Contained In His Resolution Which
Show He Is Not Familiar With
the Situation at
keokuk.

/ WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 20
Washington bureau OF the Register
and Leader: The whole question of
what have been the results of the
construction of the Keokuk dam is
likely to be aired in congress.
Representative Rainey OF Illinois
this afternoon introduced resolution
providing for an investigation by the
house committee on interstate COM
merce into the situation consequent
on the construction of the Keokuk
dam and arising from operations of
the Keokuk and Hamilton Water Pow
er company.
Mutterings of protest have been
heard for months. 1t has been charg
ed in some quarters that the company
which constructed the dam was not
reducing rates for electric power and
that navigation of the Mississippi was
being interfered with. It is known
that the national conservation associa-
ton has been looking into the facts.
Promised Many Benefits.
The resolution of Representative
Rainey recites the situation and ale
cation in detail 1t sets forth the act
of congress in 1905 granting to the
Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power
company the right to build the Keo-
kuk dam. 1t recites that it was rep
resented the dam would greatly aid
navigation and the government would
save large sums in the maintenance of
locks at the foot of the Des Moines
rapids and furthermore that the pro-
ject would be of great benefit to the
neighboring region and commercial
and manufacturing interests.
Further, it says, it is now alleged
that the operations of the project are
q hindrance to navigation, that steam
boats are compelled to await the
pleasure of the company operating the
dam and some times wait for hours
until the company sees fit to permit
a sufficient amount of water to run
from its pool down the river.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-12-21
Sent to Committee.

Representative Rainey did not dis
cuss the resolution on the floor. 1t
went to the rules committee and that
committee will decide whether to
recommend the investigation. It is
expected one will be ordered. Mr.
Rainey has been moved by complaints
OF steamboat men and by representa-.
tons of manufacturing interests in
his district.
The resolution caused the keenes.
interest here because OF the import
ant bearing of the Keokuk situation
on the general question Of government
regulation of power projects.
/ I'm answer to some of the charges
contained in the above dispatch, This
Gate City wishes to say that the con
struction of the dam
4 Is an aid to navigation:
Has saved the government an i'm
mense sum for maintenance charges
! And that the rates for power chars
ed by the Mississippi River Power Co
are regarded as reasonable. Ed.

He often buys striped trousers, but

This look of Georges is wholly de-

George Fitch, the author-humorist

last appearance here was as one OF
the speakers at the dinner at which
the bronze medallion was presented

zens OF Keokuk, when he made a
three base hit. His famous demon
motor boat went into final convul-
sions here In the forebay OF the Keo-
kuk water-powsr and finally endeo
its troubled life here on Lake Coos-
er. No community will take more in
