OF GOOD EFFECT.

The welcoming banquet given at the
Hotel Iowa last night by the boosters
of the city in honor Of Mr.. c.. W. Kel-
logg. the new manager of the Missls-
sippi River Power Co., was fine COM
pliment to a fine gentleman. The af-
fair was pertinent from all view
points and successfully executed It
reevaled TO Mr.. Kellogg the true heart
of Keokuk and he accepted the hospl
tally with a warmth that truly inu!.
Gated his earnestness and sincerity.
The Mississippi River Power Co. is &
part of the community and it is i'm
portant that the relationship be mu-
tual and helpful so that in the CO.
operation the largest measure of bene-
fit can result to the city. Mr.. Kellogg
recognized this Relationship and ap-
preciated tbs, honor extended to him
by the citizens of Keokuk His optr-
mistfc expressions as to the future of
this city were a commercial tonic ano
the conviction was more deeply root
ed than ever in the minds of the citi-
zens present that the future held in
store for this city realizations that
have long been dreamed of. However,
the meeting was not of the visionary
character 1t was substantial and
beneficial More frequent gatherings
of the kind would promote a better
feeling and bring closer together the
working forces for city development.

THE COYOTE.

THE COYOTE.
Trailing the last CLEAN after
In the valleys emptied of light,
nipples whimsical laughter
Under the wings of the night.
Mocking the faded west airily,
Meeting the little bats merrily,
Over the mesas it shrills
To the red moon on the hills.
Mournfully rising and waning,
Far through the moon-silvered land
Walls weird voice of complaining
Over the thorns and the sand
Out of blue silence eerily,
On to the black mountains YEARLY,
Till the dim desert is crossed,
Wanders the cry, and is lost.
Here by the fires ruddy streamers,
Tired with our hopes and our fears,
We inarticulate dreamers
Hard to the song of our years.
Up to the brooding divinity
Far in that sparkling infnity
Cry our despair and delight,
Voice of the desert night!

Bellman.

A senseIe.s Procedure.

p"
There is no sense or reason IN
bringing California or oriental pro-
ducts for distribution in the Missis-
sippi valley, through the canal to New
York, there raloading them on cars
and shipping them back nearly half
way across the continent by rail,
when they can be brought by water
all the way via New Orleans and the
river, at great saving OF expense.
Railroad managers admit they can
not possibly make rates to compete
with water rates via the canal.
We don't know yet how cheaply
large cargoes can be carried on the
Mississippi river, possibly one mill, or
two mills per ton mile. The busr-
ness is still in embryo, navigation e>-
perts will develop the most economi-
cal type Of boats and barges adapted
to the traffic, to secure the business.
The field is one of unlimited posi-
bilities, and when developed transpor-
tation savings will be enormous, not
alone On California products, but on
all commodities both import and ex-
port that can be carried by water.
On the single item of sugar, of which
there is consumed annually an aver
age OF 81 pounds per capita. or about
200, 900 tons in the territory Of the up
per river, there could be a saving. over
present rail rates, of at least $500, COZ,
if it could be shipped in 1000 ton
Larses from New Orleans.

object of the U. M. r. |. A.

To secure its availability and make
the river a dependable and actual
highway of commerce to the fullest
extent, is the laudabie object and pur-
pose of the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement association, organized
some years ago. II has succeeded in
having it's project for the improve
ment of the channel, approved by con-
gress. and the work is being carried
on under annual appropriations, to be
competed within seven years The
work has progressed so far that there
will be no difficulty from now on in
maintaining a channel by dredging in
q few places where needed, so that
one thousand ton barges loaded to
capacity can safely navigate it.
In pursuit of its purpose the asso-
citation has found, that there are 9th
er requirements as absolutely essent-
ial as a permanent navigable channel
in the stream, for the development of
Ia perfect system of river transporta-
ton It was the first to call public at
tention to these things and to urge
their provision, as matters of para
mount importance. These require
n1ents are, boats and barges of mod
ern type suitable for economical ana
sac carriage of all kinds of cargoes
without transfer or breaking bulk,
between the Twin Cities and New
Orleans: and adequate port terminals

fence of shipping

freight rates, declared that ct Is no
exaggeration, nor any fight OF specu-
lative fancy, or panic apprehension to
say, that the proposed rate adjust

jobbing houses out Of business. and
wholly destroy all that their industry
and enterprise have patiently built
w" The supreme court OF the Unr-
ed States sustained the rates, and
they will stand unless the commission
changes its ruling. It would seem from
this. as though the river had lost It's
former potential influence as regu-
lator Of railroad freight rates, and

Influence Of Panama Canal.
What OF the Panama canal and its
influence on freight rates?
At the banquet rendered the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso-
citation at its cenventio nheld at MIN
neapolis in 1908. in my address, when
speaking of the canal. said, ut will
be the link connecting our inland
Waterways with the markets OF the
the Pacific and the orient, and when
completed will revolutionize transpor-
tation conditions OF the whole coun-
try" 1t surely has done this in the
short time it has been in operation,
and tho end is not yet. 1t has reduced
tremendously freight rates between
the Pacific and the Atlantic seaIDoaros
and it has disturbed the whole freight
situation in a manner that cannot be
ignored by the Mississippi valley.
There Is a commodity rate from Cali
fornia to New York via the canal. as
low as 25 cents per cwt. The rate IN
Ger lots by rail from New York to up
per Mississippi river points, is 80
cents per cwt.. making the rate 55
cents from California via New YORK.
The all rail rate from California to
Mississippi river points, is So cents.

one of serious Importance to every

The water highways of the world,
provide the most economical system

On the banks of navigable water

Transportation costs are an import
ant item in every industry, and are
the dominating factor which limits
the area from which raw materials
for manufacture and sale can be as

ducts can be distributed.

Put the River 10 work.


To rest upon It's potentiality as a
regulator of railroad rates is an unfair
abuse of the river and an economic
waste of it's opportunities. What yod
want, is to make it work for you, by
securing its full commercial activity,
and thereby save substantial dollars
instead of potential dimes.
The fault of its nonuse as a carrier
of large cargoes, is not of its channel
alone, but is due to conditions On the
shore and the total lack of facilities
necessary to place it on plane of
equal advantage with its only compel
itor.
The economic necessity of it's proper
development as carrier of commerce,
lis of Incompatible importance to
every industry in the Mississippi val
ley. To no class does this appeal more
strongly than to- the farmers, the bone
and sinew of this the fairest of the
earth's agricultural domains, they are
deeply interested in securing cheaper
facilities that will reduce the cost OF
carrying their products to market.
Every dollar thus saved would add to
their income and increase the value OF
their farms.
