THAT BIG PLAN
FOR ALL kEOkUk
Aobody Here Seems to Know Any
thing About 1t, and Its Father
Carried 1t Away In
His Head.

"What has become of that big plan
for the industrial workers OF keokuk
we heard so much about aWhlle
back?" -
That question coming to The Gate
City repeatedly can not be answered
Nobody here seems to know any
thing about it.
Secretary Walter J. Bode has been
trying to get an interVle"
with E. S. Phillips while the latter
was in Keokuk, but failed to get in
touch with the father of the move
ment who is now in the east. He
was met several evenings and in the
DAYTIME asking for information as to
where Phillips might be found, but
could not locate him.
~ can not tell when the committee
of fifty will be called to meet, nor
else about 1t, until l can
find Mr.. Phillips" Secretary Bode
said. When Phillips will return to
Keokuk is unknown here.
n is literally impossible to do any
thing until his return and resumption
of his interest in the new orsanlza'
t,on since he did not mention to the
hanou eters the name Of single mem
her of the thirty-five Keokuk men he
said are to join the committee OF
ffty industrial workers in forming
the constitution of the new organlZa'
ton.
AS. soon as Phillips takes up the
matter again, 1t VIII go lor"aio
rapidly. 1t is believed here.

Commissioners Hickey Is Making the
River Front Door Of keokuk
Look Better with Scrap
ers and Teams.
MAIN STREET TO BRIDGE
Gradually That Part of River Front
is Being Made into Plaza
Which Finally Will be
Beautiful.

In its front door step, Keokuk has
had hard problem.
Economic and industrial conditions
here have naturally made the long
levee the least adaptable to any
identifying treatment. For years, the
coal industry was located there with
its big, black sheds, and there has
always been some sort of industry
located there.
Lately, the stretch of water front
from Main street to the bridge has
been cleared of all industrialism, and
1t has been steadily improved for the
last five or six years.
The ground there was very irregu-
lar and below grade, and required a
great deal of filling to make basis
for actual identifying.
Changing Hole to Plaza.
Before Hugh L. Cooper quit his
building of the water-power here, he
deposited a large quantity of earth
there which made the place begin to
look like something.
Every year since, there has been
an increase of fill made there by the
city, until now, the place looks more
like location for park than like
a big shell hole in no mans land.
Commissioner Hickey is just now
adding to the appearance of the
place. He is using wheel scrapers
and teams to leYel off the earth de.
posted there during the last year.
When he gets this work done. the
large area from Main street to the
bridge, and from the waters edge to
the railroad track, will look some
thing like real plaza.

fore They Scatter to

Detail plans have been given out
at Coblenz for the entertainment,
movement and shipping Of the Forty
second division which contains the
soldiers from Keokuk in the famous
|1GSth infantry who are to be given
big welcome in Washington and Des
Moines.
The division is to entrain from Sat
urday of this week to the following
Friday, which is April II. It will go
to Brest in sixty hours, which Is fast
'railroad.ng in that country, and will
arrive there April IA, to spend four
days In preparing for embarkation.
1t will be abroad ship and sailing
the ocean blue on April Is, and the
whole division will be back in Amer
lea by May 1.
Seven Hundred Cars.
To carry the men of the division,
besides the transport and equipment,
will require twenty-three trains of
thirty cars each. The cars are Amer
lean box cars, and they have been
thoroughly cleaned and made into
side door Pullmans in fact.
These cars have capacity of sixty
men, but the men will ride forty-five
to car. Thus there will be ample
room for their packs and straw filled
bed sacks.
For every $50 men there is roll
ing kitchen, and half hour stop will
be made for hot meals. The men will
tumble out of the cars and file by
the cars holding the kitchens, getting
the regular garrison rations. They
will eat, wash their kits in big cans
of hot water and hop back on the
train
Men the Most Comfortable.
The arrangements are for the Of.
f1cers to eat with the men as they
did In the field, but, although they
will ride in the French passenger
coaches, they will be subjected 10
greater discomforts than the men.
No wines nor liquors will be per
nitted on the trains from Cobelnz to
Brest, and after arrival there the men
will be provided with a hot meal and
will be given a half hour for the ad
justment of their packs and stretch
ing their cramped muscles. Then the
unit will march to its billets in the
tented area assigned to them.
Get New Uniforms.
Then follows physical inspection,
inspection of the records of the com
pany funds and equipment. Here new
uniforms will be issued. For that
reason the men have been instructed
to prepare to transfer their division
insignia. wound chevrons, and service
stripes from their present clothing on
short notice.
After this, the soldiers will go to
barracks and make ready for life on
ship board.
Then comes the final inspection and
sailing for home.
Arriving in New York about May l:
they will reach Iowa about the end OF
the first week in May, if they follow
the speed schedule being maintained
now by the war department.
