 Master of Vessel Explains?
 A Pacific Port, Dec. 25.-Reports that the Bolsheviki crew of the Shilta, a Russian freighter in port here, mu- tinied when the vessel was two days out of the Russian port were denied today by Capt. Boris Bedal, master of the vessel. The captain said he was an officer of the Russian navy. and asserted all his men were enlisted sailors and subject to his orders.
 Captain Bedal told officials there was nothing unusual in the forma- tion of committee of five members to help control affairs on the vessel. He said such committees were placed on all Russian naval ships after the overthrow of the czar. The presence of guns and ammunition, found on board the vessel yesterday. the captain explains by saying the Shilta was for merly naval vessel. and when she entered the merchant service her arms and ammunition were stored in the hold.
 He also denied rumors that his ship carried gold for the defense of the I. w. w. on trial in Chicago, and laughed at reports that his crew was involved in an I. w. w. plot.

TRAVELLING MEN
PRAISE KEOKUK
With Only One Exception the Travel
ing Statesmen Of Iowa and Mis-
souri, Boost This City for Its
Business and Growth.

One of the most noticeable changes
within the last half dozen years is
the estimate of Keokuk by the worthy
guild of travelling statesmen, and their
talk about this city.
A Keokuk man who spent six
weeks sauntering all over the south
ern part of Iowa in an automobile
this summer stopping at the hotel
in every town in the lower two rows
of Iowa counties, found himself
adopted into the constantly moving
lodge of the travelling statesmen and
constantly edited by their wise and
penetrating personal opinions.
With only one exception, they
praised Keokuk, spoke of its being
mighty good town, said it is all right,
and brought into every discussion Of
Iowa and Missouri towns and cities
the name and excellencies Of Keokuk.
The sole exception was man who
lived most of his life here, became
imbued with some of the old local
ideas, is well known to everybody in
the old Keokuk-and who some years
ago quit working for a very large
Keokuk jobber and later got job
with a smaller jobber in another
town for which house he now sells
goods in routine way. This one eX-
ception among hundred travelling
statesmen boosters I. Of Keokuk has
not lived here for some years, does
not come here to try to sell goods.
and describes Keokuk as a tumble
down collection of vacant houses
with a rather poor blacksmith shop
to represent its manufa ctures.
This knocker is valuable as bring
ing into sharp. contrast the praise
given Keokull as a city by the gen
crafty of travelling salesmen-the
best judges Of business, conditions, of
good homes and of hotels in America.

going into Argyle.
Some Pioneer Iowa Towns.
Donnellson has been an important
town in this county since pioneer
days. 1t came rather near being the
county seat in the last century, while
this part Of the country was young.
Every year it has a fair which Is the
gathering place where the people Of
the county meet the people of Keokuk
by hundreds and thousands. 1t does
a lot of business, too.
Charleston is another pioneer
town, surrounded by fine farms own
ed by good citizens, which is visit
ed by many Keokuk people.
On the bank Of the Des Moines
river in one of its most beautiful
stretches is Vincennes, Iowa, an old
town of much interest and excellent
spirit, well known to Keokuk people.
Two Entrepots to Iowa.
Pennington, Iowa, sits on the bank
Of the Des Moines, with bridge that
makes it one of the important en-
frances to Iowa from Missouri. 1t
does much business, has some rich
citizens, and the population has
plenty Of money in the bank. Its
chautauqua has always been one Of
the highest grade in the middle. west
A half dozen miles farther UP the
Des Moines river, is : Bonaparte,
which was town before the In
dams all left this part of the country.
1t is enterprising and full of bust
ness, with bridge to Missouri and
fine farming land around it, 1t had
the first large mill in these parts
and for years large wooden factory.
These are only some of many fine,
prosperous, delightful towns and
cities with which Keokuk sustains
the most pleasant relations. Keokuk
is especially fortunate in its neigh
bors in the three states.

teaming route from Keokuk to Des

teaming route from Keokuk to Des
Moines and the northwest
Argyle has taken on a burst of
speed in development lately. The
community uplift and improvement is
stronger there than in any other
Iowa town, apparently. 1t has one
of the noted community churches
with adjuncts of social service, and
the people bring In the best brains
obtainable to help them live better
and in better homes. The farms
around there are among the best in
Iowa, and new business is constantly
going into Argyle.

Many Towns and Smaller cities In
the Three States OFTEN Visited
by keokuk People and Are
All Prosperous.
GOOD SPIRIT AMONG ALL
score of Fine Communities Closely
Connected With keokuk to Mu-
tuaI Advantage Of Both
Towns and City.

Keokuk has perhaps more good
small towns and cities within it's
special sphere, Of influence and the
attractions of mutual friendship than
any other Iowa city.
These towns are all prosperous,
good places to live In, and we'll worth
knowing. Each Is somewhat differ
emit froaA the others, and they are
located in three states. Keoku1
values highly it's relations with these
towns and has close connections
with them.
The Keokuk Retailers league has
formed the habit Of visiting most
OF these towns in turn, going in "a
long procession of automobiles, eat
ing a good supper provided by some
woman's organization in the town,
having as guests some citizens of the
place visited, and especially having
good gabfest with the people. This
has turned out to be about the best
method imaginable to form and keep
close friendships between Keokuk
and the other places.

Just over In Illinois.

Carthage, Illinois, county seat city,
is one of the handsomest, best built,
most intellectual, homelike smaller
cities in that state. A dozen miles to
the east, Keokuk people visit it
every day and have always enjoyed it.
Elvaston, half way to Carthage, is
q town full Of fine people well known
here.
LaHarpe, Illinois, is one of the
prosperous towns in the midst of a
rich farming country, a regular little
city, delightful to visit and full OF
enterprise.
Bowen is one of the most citified
towns in the great farming section OF
Illinois. 1t does things all the time,
and does them well. There is no bet
ter place in Illinois to bring up a
family.

on the Great Scenic Route.

Montrose always has many Keo-
kuk visitors. Montrose is the destin-
alton of scores of Keokuk motorists
every day. It is also fine place to
visit, and it. does a good deal of
manufacturing, especially of buttons
and the lighter tools for farmers and
gardeners.
Nauvoo Is the great historical
Mecca of travellers. the pioneer home
of the Mormons, full of human inter.
est, with good hotel accommodations,
and at the upper end of the Illinois
lake shore boulevard Thousands of
people visit it annually, and it also
seems to Keokuk people as part of
this city. The one thing needed is
traction line between Nauvoo and
Keokuk,. and this is being worked
out slowly but surely. Nauvoo is in
Illinois.

Good Community Development.
In the widening part of the triangle
between the big rivers are several
towns in Iowa with which Keokuk
has always had close relations, ever
since they were on the stage and

keokuk's Nearest Neishbors.

Warsaw was alarmed when the
traction line between there and here
was opened, fearing that Keokuk
would absorb all its business. But it
has found that while there have been
certain changes. the closer contact
with Keokuk has improved Warsaw
itself materially. The electric trains
have. made it seem like a part of
Keokuk to Keokuk people, and they
all boost the little city which was
the home Of John Hay and the site
OF the fort out Of which Keokuk
came, in the person of DR.. Muir.
Warsaw belongs to Illinois.
Hamilton, disconnected from Keo-
kuk only by the Mississippi river
and the state line, showed more en-
terprise when the water power was
started than any other place. She
built water works, a sewage system,
other public Improvements and a
fine school building before the dam
was finished. Ever since, she has
been hustling for factories and is
succeeding. Actually Hamilton and
Keokuk are one community, despite
state lines, and the sooner every
body realizes this, the better for both
cities. If it were in Iowa instead
of Illinois, this would not need to DE
said, probably.

Good Towns in Missouri.

In adjoining Missouri, Kahoka is
the county seat nearest Keokuk. 1t
is rapidly growing and improving
city which is the old home OF many
Keokuk residents. Many Keokuk
people have intimate friends there.
Half way to Kahoka is Wayland,
an important shipping point on the
railroad, surrounded by the old home
steads of some of the most prominent
old families in Missouri.
The next county seat in Missouri,
westward, is Memphis, city which Is
modernised in every way, full Of fine
homes, doing big business around its
court house square, with an excellent
city government and constantly i'm
proving itself.
Not least to Keokuk IS Alexandria,
only a half dozen miles by road or
railroad, and always as well known as
the federal building to Keokuk peo-
pie. Once, it was larger and more
important than Keokuk, and it came
near being the principal city here
abouts.
