jap Engineers In Majority.

jap Engineers In Majority.
There were perhaps, more japanese
engineers and visitors on the Keokuk
works than any other nationality. The
Japanese seemed especially interested
in the Keokuk project, and the number
of Japs in the engineering schools In
the United States made it easy for
them to get to Keokuk. Toxic appears
frequently as the destination of v1s1-
tors on the clubs register.
And there were plenty of represent
tatives from the neutral nations at
the Riverview club. Among these
were Prof. K. E. Hilgard of Zurich,
Switzerland, head of the university at
that place, famous for it's engineering
courses. Rudolph Weber of Zurich IS
an expert on governors, and ne helped
to install the system of governors IN
use at the Keokuk power plant. n.
Won Schulthess of Zurich, represent
ing banking interests of Switzerland
was a guest at Riverview, along with
his wife.
There were several visitors too,
from Holland. F. w. tire Meuten OF
Utrecht was visitor here in 1913. w.
G. Pierson, a financier from The
Hague, was another visitor from the
realm of Queen Wilhelmina.
Where Are They Now?
George Van Wick of Amsterdam
was another visitor from the land OF
bikes.
Austria and Hungary had represen-
tatives here in the person of Charles
Posa of Budapest and Eduard Engle.
mann of Vienna.
Carl Montelius was Stockholm
visitor at the Riverview club.
It might be interesting, perhaps to
take a page of American visitors at
random. The Drs. Mayo, the famous
Rochester surgeons with large party
were here and we're entertained at
the Riverview club. At the same time
James Campbell, president OF the
North American company Of st. Louis
was here.
The Riverview club is closed now,
but the memories of the distinguished
visitors it sheltered still remain. One
cannot help nat wonder in looking
over the register Of visitors where
these engineers are now. The men
who came to Keokuk in time of peace
to look at tremendous bit of engi-
neering in the Mississippi river at this
point. Some are sure to be In the
trenches. while others are in the coun-
ellis of the chiefs, planning ways and
means for killing the very men, per-
haps, with whom they dined three
years ago at Riverview club at keo-
kuk.
