The rent for buildings in which the
saloons were conducted is rather

the Using Of All the
Timber In Wisconsin.
KEoKUK MILL SURVIVED
1t Hung On to the Very Last Gasp of
the River Traffic In Logs, and
Was Last to Stop Its
Saws.

A quarter Of century ago, RATS
of logs and lumber acres in extent
and running into big figures in
money, were as common in the Mis-
sissippi river at Keokuk as fisher
men below the dam are now.
When that great industry died, the
keokuk mill of the Tabers hung on
to the very last gasp and closed only
with the abandonment Of the whole
big business in logs and lumber cut
from them in Mississippi river mills.
They used up all the pine in the
vast forests in Wisconsin, but Cap
tain B. P. Taber saw the condition
coming long before and put an i'm
mense amount of money into timber
lands. This enabled his company to
saw pine after the other mills had
stopped.
The last raft of logs arrived at
Quincy mills exactly twelve years
ago, but the Taber Lumber company
Of Keokuk, kept on over three years
after that time.
The Very Last Log Raft
The last raft of logs to reach Keo-
kuk was brought down by the tug
Taber and arrived here in October
1910.
The Atlee mill at Fort Madison
hung on well, also, ana was among
the last to quit, but by the time the
Taber mill at Keokuk had stopped,
there was no mill, of the many on
the upper Mississippi river, still con-
tinuing it's saving of lumber.
The last raft to reach Quincy has
been made historical there. 1t was
in charge of two boats, the Lizzie
Gardner and Waneta, the former at
the upper end of the raft to push it.
and the Waneta at the lower end to
assist in steering the large bunch of
logs.
Recalls Old Boats.
Several hundreds of feet of the
rough logs were left in Quincy bay
and the raft then made off down the
river, the last one of the old fashion.
ed kind to make its appearance
there.
There were many boats then seen
at the Keokuk levee almost any day.
Among them was the old Quincy,
now the second J. S., then in the
packet trade between st. Louis and
st. Paul. Other crafts were the Du-
buque, bound for southern points;
the old ]. S., which was burned about
five years ago; the w. W., with her
barge for excursionists; the Uncle
Sam, excursion boat, and the Iris, a
tow boat.

Introduction. The abdication of the
Senate's constitutional function 1t con-
templated was so opposed to Ameri-
can tradition and procedure that 1t
was commonly looked upon as a COM
pliment paid to WOODROW WILSON by
an admirer who was not blind to the
susceptibility to flattery which is char
acteristlc Of the President. But that
It described exactly what President
WILSON then wanted has been proved
by subsequent events, in which he has
played and still endeavors to play the
part Of a dictator.
The Senate having declined to set
up the dictatorship President WILSON
asked for through Senator LEWIS he
has endeavored to enforce it through
the direct and indirect authority and
influence of the Presidential Office.
President WILSON'S conduct In one
man treaty making has indicated the
prescience, II not the tact, of JAMES
LEWIS.
