OUR FAME rs SPREADING
So Far as Known, Ian Had Not Seen
City, But Its Reputation and
What II Offers, Pleases
Him.

Were Hooking for city in which
should very favorably consider Keo-
kuk"
The above is the closing sentence IN
a letter written in response to let
ter from the Keokuk Industrial asso-
citation to one of the big manufactur-
ers of the east. 1t shows that Keokuk
is known in all sections of the cour-
try, and that the city has Nmanufactrr-
ing possibilities which are taken
cognizance of by these manufacturers.
The manufacturer who had such
kind words to say about keokrk is To-
Gated in Greencastle, Pa. Some one
reported to President J. Albert kied-
aiscr of the Industrial association,
that they understood this factory was
seeking to establish a western branch.
Mr. Kiedaisch immediately wrote to
the head of the plant, and received a
reply in which he stated that the plant
was not contemplating establishing a
branch in the west, but that he ap-
preciated the qualities of Keokuk, and
If he were looking for city in which
to locate, he would choose keokuk.
This big manufacturer had never
seen Keokuk, so far as is known, yet
the possibilities Of Keokuk were
known to him, and he appreciates
what the city has to offer. and also the
fact that Keokuk will be an ideal
manufa curing center.

Hull, wash and drain the berries; reserve
a few choice berries to garnish the top of the
cake; cut the rest in halves and mix with the
sugar. Beat the cream and set aside to chill.
Silt together, three times, the -four, baking
powder and salt; work in the shortening;
then mix to soft dough with the milk.
Spread the mixture in two layer cake pans.
Bake about twenty minutes. Turn one cake
out on hot plate, spread literally with
butter, pour on part of the berries; cover
with the second cake, also spread with but
ter, pour over the rest of the berries and put
the whipped cream above, with the whole
berries here and there.

full generators that furnish the cleo
trio current. The lock is located on
the Iowa side of the river and be-
tween it and the railroad that runs
under the bluff are located the gov
eminent workshops, general Offices
and dry docks, which are operated
similar to the lock of the dam.
The Mississippi Sand comNany's
boat. the Belle Vernon, was put on
the dock and thoroughly overhauled
by expert workmen in less than TWEEN
ty-four hours while other vessels
were waiting their turn. We also met
the sand company's new steel barge
which was delivered at Keokuk from
Dubuque and brought 1t home.
Keokuk is like all other cities, in
some respects, as it has smart

RIVER CAPTAIN
WAS IMPRESSED
Saw Chief keokuk's Monument While
His Boat Was in the
Dry Docks.

Captain T. J. Show of Alton, recent
ly made trip up the river from AL
ton to Keokuk with the sand steam CT
Belle Vernon which was put in the
/, dry docks here for repairs. In the
! Waterways Journal, in describing his
/, trip, the river man has the following
3! to say of Keokuk:
All travellers admit that a tour OF
the North American continent reveals
wonders untold, from the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado and the Yosemite
valley to the mist-wreathed cataract
of Niagara.
The Mississippi river alone, to go
no further, promises more beautiful
and imposing features than most of
the rivers of foreign countries. On
the bluffs at keokuk overlooking the
Mississippi, but now Lake Cooper,
stands the statue of the famous old
Sac chief, Keokuk, from which the
city derives its name and who was
known for his daring deeds Of brav-
cry and warfare. The statue is on a
marble and concrete foundation about
twenty feet high and ten feet in d.
ameter, in the form of cube. 1t
stands in Rand park on a high bluff
overlooking the river. According to
the inscription on the slab the famous
old chief was born at Rock Island. ILL.,,
in ITS, and died in Franklin Co, Kan.
in April, 1S4S. Ills relics and remains
are buried under the statue on the
high bluff overlooking the Father OF
Waters.
