HELEN BLAIR ON
HER FIRST TRIP
Flagship OF Fleet Carried Big Freight
List Out Of keokuk
Yesterday

Concerning the Helen Blair's first
trip out of Keokuk yesterday on her
new schedule the Quincy Herald
says:
The steamer Helen Blair, flagship
of the Blair packet fleet and per-
haps the finest small packet in sery-
ice on the upper Mississippi, was
here today for the first time in the
new Dayenport-K Quincy sery-
ice. Hereafter the boat is to be here
every Thursday and at Keokuk every
Sunday Today the boat arrived at
1920 and left at 3, having big load
of freight, but only about twenty-five
passengers. Captain Harry F. Young
is again master of the Blair. This Is
his third season on this boat after
sixteen years of steamboating on the
Yukon river. He began steamboat
Ing on the Mississippi rafters in 1879
and often was in and out OF Quincy
on the Mcdonnell boats.
Nineteen years ago he went to
Alaska and on his return he was ac-
companied by. Henry Miller of
Brownsville, Mimi, who was mate on
his boats on the Yukon and is first
mate now on the Helen Blair. Will
liam Enderlee Of Fort Madison, last
year pilot on the steamer keokuk. is
on the Blair, too, this season. Other
members Of the crew are George Lam
caster of LeClaire, Iowa, chief en-
gineer; John Kerkering, from near
st. Paul, second engineer: Hartman
E. Swanson, on the Silver Crescent
and Keokuk for five years, Is the
purser; Charles Efflandt Of Moline, Is
the steward; and Lou Lyons. also OF
Moline, Is chef. The boat carries
its own orchestra.

host of people to the spot.
A Waterman was placed at the To-
cation yesterday afternoon and last
night to see that no one approached
the building. The council has now
ordered it torn down and in few
days hence. Keokuk will be shorn OF

Sees Suffrage In Colorado.


Mr. Garwood is a native of Iowa,
but has lived in Colorado for twenty
five years, and for the last twenty
three years he has personally seen
equal suffrage in practice in Colorado
where the women were given the
privilege of voting on all questions
in 1893. Mr. Garwood stated that
from his experience with the practical
workings of equal suffrage he is
firmly convinced that there Is not a
single sound argument today against
extending the elective franchise to
the women Of America. He express
ed the hope that the men Of Iowa
would solve the matter for all time in
this state by voting yes on the
suffrage amendment Monday. He
related how the biggest men in the
country today are in favor of woman
suffrage Wilson, Bryan,
Cummins, Borah, Champ Clark. Gov
ernor Clarke of Iowa, Senator Allen,
Attorney General Cosson, Mr.. Mere
dith and the big majority Of the press
of Iowa.
Mr.. Garwood stated that by far the
vast majority of the people in the
states where woman suffrage exists
today are unquslifiedly in favor OIL
it-particularIy the people OF Kansas,
Colorado, California, Oregon, Wash
ington. Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada,
Montana and Wyoming.

NO PLACE IN THE CITY TO WATER
HORSES

AS 1t stands now there is no place
in the city for draymen and teamsters
to water their horses. The old water
ing trough at the corner of Commerce
and East Second streets has been re-
moved and 1t seems as II 1t will not be
put back. The trough at Main street
in the Sixth Ward is greatly out of the
way and many drivers will let their
horses go thirsty rather than go out
OF their way to give it water. The
fountain on Market street is in the
central part of the city and easily &C.
-cesslble. From a matter of civic
pride 1t seems as II 1t should now be
turned ON. Possibly the reason for
the water not being turned on is be-
cause they want to make Maysville as
dry as possible.
The Chamber Of Commerce is work
ing to get farmers to come to this
city TO buy their goods. Nearly all OF
the farmers drive a horse to town and
by the time they get to this city their
horse needs a drink. He must either
go to a stable or let the animal 90

on the horse could be easily watered
How about turning on the water. Mr.

Tive Years.
New York, August 19-In the mid
spring of 1915 Henry p. Davidson said
upon his return home London that
there were three conditions which
must be satisfactorily established II
there were to be a general and very
great revival of American prosperity
One of these was the personnel of the
newly authorized Federal trade COM
mission. If the members of that body
we're in sympathy with modern bust
ness conditions demanded, then one
condition of success would be salts
factorily met.
Since Mr. Davidson thus spoke the
Federal trade commission has been or
ganized and its memberships seems TO
represent reasonable understanding OF
business. The second condition would
be established If there came to the
United States orders from foreign
countries, especially beligerent ma
tions, for American manufactured
commodities. Within few months af
ter Mr.. Davidson thus spoke, this con-
dition was we'll established.
Third Condition Met
The third and from one one point of
view the most important condition in
volved a harvest fully equal to the
one of the preceding year. 1t proved
to be as great as the harvest of 1914,
and with respect to wheat was the
greatest harvest the United States has
ever garnered-in excess of billion
bushels.
This year, while the promise of har-
vest is not very satisfactory, neverthe-
less other conditions are so favorable
that the great falling off in the har-
vest, especially of wheat, has not
caused the anxiety in the financial dis
trict which would have been the case
year ago.
The unusual climatic conditions of
this summer have revived, or initiated,
discussion which may prove to be of
value hereafter in equalizlng the
wheat harvests of the country in the
sense that while there may be no
great excuses, there will be on the
other hand no heavy falling off in this
harvest.
California to Come Back
In formation has recently come from
California which leads to the impress
sion that it may regain some of its for
mer prestige as a wheat-producing
state. There was a time in the early
history of California when 1t stood first
among the states of the Union in its
harvest of wheat. It's exports of wheat
contributed much to the growth oil
Pacific Coast commerce.
AS a wheat producer California riv-
oiOu hOi piOuuSIOh VI bOiu III thC
making Of new wealth.
For some reason there was falling
OF in this industry, but the climatic
conditions of this summer, which
have not especially affected Callfor-
MIA, are likely to increase the interest
already noticeable there in the wheat
growing industry.
The opening up Of new Government
land to settlers in the far Northwest
may be followed in two or three years
by greatly increased harvests of
wheat in that section of the country.
There is no reason why Oregon and
Washington should not take high rank

SAYS MAN WHO STOLE WIFE
WAS CAUSE OF HER SUICIDE

New York, March 7.-Charging that
Max Hart, New York theatrical pro-
Queer, was responsible for Mrs. Eek
els suicide, Charles z. Eckel, automo-

sued Hart for 100000 damages. No
similar suit has ever been brought in
New York courts.
The Eckels were married in ST.

was born to them four years ago.
Eckel alleges his wife left him and
went to live with Hart and that when
he begged Hart to force her to return
the theatrical magnate threatened to
kill her. Mrs. Eckel, who was known
on the stage as Clara Inge, shot her
self on December II, 1915.
Hart has countered with a motion
to strike the allegations from the
complaint on the ground that they are

LAMB FOR CONGRESS.

Europa, Miss, March Judge /.
L. Lamb says he will formally an
nounce himself as a candidate for
Congress from this (the fourth) con-
gressional district of Mississippi in a
few days.
He is a man of profound convictions
and a fluent speaker. He served as
district attorney of this judicial dis
trict for about ten years and then
was the chancellor Of this chancery
court district for a short time, and
made one of the most popular Off
Gals that this judicial district has
ever known.
Judge Lamb has long had a desire
to serve his people in Congress. He
stands by President Wilson on all adj
E.inistration measures. He believes
in rural credits and in fact, is a
Democrat without variableness or a
shadow of turning.
