Steamboat Men Complain.

| The act of 1905 granted rights to
construct and maintain the now IA
nous dam "for the improvement OF
navigation and the development OF
water power 1t was represented
that the building of the dam would
greatly aid the navigation Of the Mis-
sissippi, and that the government
would save large sums in the main
tenance and operation of the locks at
the foot of the Des Moines rapids; also
that the development of power would
be of great benefit to the immediate
lneighborhood and to the commercial
and manufacturing interests of that
region.
According to the Rainey resolution
the dam is a hindrance to navigation
and the company compels steamboats,
to await its pleasure in opening and
shutting the locks. It Is further as

Like Politics.

Burlington Hawk-Eye, Jan. 8: The
impression obtains in Burlington that
the proposed Investigation of the
dam at keokuk by Coner ssnan Rainey
OF Illinois Is political buncombe. This
is the more evident by the statement
sent out that all the towns within a
radius of $50 miles Of the diam report
they have received no benefit from
II in cheaper power Quite likely.
The dam was only re ent'y completed
and large proportion of the towns
have not yet been equipped for cleo
trio service. Transmission lines are
being built and others extended. Bur
lington has had the current only a
few weeks and the rates hive not yet
been scheduled, but they are in prep.
aration. Nobody has been authorized
to report Burlington as having "re-
ceiyed no ben fit" from the power
dam. No one knows yet Just the ex-
tent of the reduction in cost this city
will have, but our citizens do know
they are getting the benefit of uni
form, constant current.
1t is therefore misleading to give
It out that all the towns within a
radius of $50 miles report they are
receiving no benefits from reduce
rates. when the great majority have
no transmission wires or equipments

strong showing in some cases, the con-
servationists have fought a losing bat
tie up to date. AS a rule, congress is
not much worried by the shoe which,
though it may some day, does not
pinch at the present moment.
However, not merely one or two,
but powerful group of congressman
are feeling pressure from home in ia
vor of drastic regulation Of the use
and cost Of the electric power gener-
ated at Keokuk. The shoe has begun
to pinch the representatives of an
important Industrial region, and,
hence, local demand has recruited
the conservation group to most form
liable proportions.
The feeling is strong that the Keo-
kuk case should be made the occa-
sion for legislating upon the whole
water power question. The advocates
of general restrictive policy. giving
the government power to fix the rates
of all power generated from navigable
water, will not permit the Keokuk sit.
uation to receive local and special
treatment. Even conservatives, such
as Chairman Adamson of the house
committee on interstate commerce,
favor using the complaints against
the Keokuk concerns operations as
the pretext for the enactment of far
reaching water power law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-The
biggest kind of fight is brewing here
in connection with the resolutions for
the Investigation of the Keoknk and
Hamilton Water Power company.
The extreme conservationists, from
Clifford Pinchot down, have seized up
on the alleged abuses at Keokuk, and
are eager to make test case of them.
Nothing less than a complete revis.
ion of the charter under which the
keokuk dam vas built will satisfy
the conservationists.
Representatives Igoe and Bartholdt
Of st. Louis and Rainey of Illinois,
each Of whom is acting In response to
The COMPLAINTS of constituents, have
sponsored resolutions which propose
that the government lay heavy hand
On the Keokuk concerns operations
The power from Keokuk is being
distributed through large and popu
lous segment of the Mississippi val
ley, which is nnmerously represented
in congress. This last Is significant
fact. because, heretofore, the water
power issue has arisen in connection
with measures granting charters FOL
power dams at comparatively remote
places. Only few congressman have
been directly interested, and these
have usually been actively concerned
i'll whooping the bills through.
In sparsely settled district the
local demand strongly favors granting
lany concession on any terms which
will bring In outside money.
