west Of the Keokuk Industrial
Associations industrial tract,
served by the Mount Pleasant
branch Of the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Railroad
Company.
DEVELOPMENT TO BE
RAPID.
The present high price of
zinc is expected to cause the
development Of this industry
to be very rapid, and the repre-
sentatives Of the National
Lead Company have advised
Mr.. J. Albert Keidaisch, Pres
ident Of the Keokuk Industrial
Association, that they have al
ready made contracts for the
necessary ore from the Rocky
Mountains for the operation of
this plant.
The initial building will be
about 400 feet square, and it
is expected that this new indus
try will employ 300 to 400 men
From the view point of the
Industrial Association, the
most desirable feature Of this
new acquisition to the indus
tries Of Keokpk is the fact that
it is basic industry, and (it
being backed by a concern of
such large means as the Ma
tional Lead Company should
gather around it many other in
dustries using the product of
this parent industry.
BIG DEMAND FOR ZINC
The price Of zinc is high at
the present time. This means
that the sooner the Rivers
Smelling and Refining COM
pany gets on the job, the soon
er the company viii be able
to get the business. It is abso-
lutly urgent that the company
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-06-18

get its factory started while the
price of zinc is high and the de-
mand is great.
As a matter of fact experts
say that there is greater de-
mand for zinc than the average
person supposes. Many of the
articles which are supposed to
be Of lead are in reality of zinc,
and here is where the auxiliary
factories using the zinc which
the smelter extracts will play
their part. The demand for
zinc is reaching a high stage,
and the Keokuk smelter will
be able to supply much of this
demand.
EMPLOYS SKILLED LABOR
r. G. Hall Of St.. Louis, who
perfected the process for the
National Lead Company, in
formed the officials Of the Keo-
kuk Industrial association that
the factory would employ skill
ed workmen in the new smelt-
er. They will be a valuable
addition to the city. The com
pany does not contemplate
building any factory town or
settlement for the housing of
their employees. The factory
will be located in close proxim-
ity to the newer residence dis
trict Of the city, which are be-
ing developed, and which will
furnish plenty Of places for
residences. There will be new
lots opened up, too. The work
men are practically all Ameri-
can, and they are all skilled
men.

The Rivers Smelling and
Refining Co., as the child Of
the National Lead Co., has
strong parents. The National
Lead Go. OWLS or controls
twenty-six smelters, refineries

mifications of this corporation.

LONDON, June 1S-The death Of
Reginald A. J. Warneford, brilliant
young Canadian aviator who won a
Victoria cross by destroying a zeppe-
lin less than two weeks ago, evoked
expressions of deepest regret In the
early editions Of the Afternoon papers.
The papers commented on Warne-
ford's sudden rise to fame by his ex-
pioit Of juno and declared that his
tragic death on the French flying
field at Huc ended the career Of one
CT the most daring air men in Europe.
They dwelt at some length upon the
death of Henry Beach Needham, the
American MAGAZINE writer, who was

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1S.--Re-
ports arriving here this morning from
Kansas and Missouri indicated that a
terrific storm swept through this sec
ton last night and early today. Wires
to many points are prostrated and a
number of cities and towns cut off
from all outside wire communication.
Vague stories of heavy loss of life
are tdiscredited here and the known
dead are limited to the one life lost
here.
Early reports that Jefferson City
had been heavy sufferer were dis
credited at $3.50 when telephone COM
munications We're restored and Jeffer-
son City said that while that territory
had been visited by heavy storm,
there had been no loss OF life and
little damage there.
Almost everywhere the storm was
accompanied by rains of almost cloud
burst proportions which caused rivers
and creeks in many sections to go
out Of their banks. There were no
figures obtainable on possible crop
damage.
Many silos barns, hay stacks and
we're blown down in the
vicinity Of Sedalia, but no loss of lifa
was reported.
Eight young picnickers were caught
when the am phitheatre on the fair
grounds at Paris, Mo-, was blown
over, but escaped unhurt. Trees wers|
snapped Off and four box cars blown
from the track. No lives were lost
here.
