The Oqsarks Spectator is in very bad h"mor
with Burlington and the people OF our good Guy,
because we limited short time ago that when the
sOouawka, Blnfflale and Washington plank
roado was completed, Oqaawka would find II tap
ned It some convenient point and all her expect
ed trade flowing in the direction of Burlington
s.Burlington,. it says, s'has drawn her snbsis-
tence to q great extent from lllinois--and now
snarls with envy when portion of the citizens
Of Iowa, who have heretofore paid her unwilling
tribute, wish to better their condition BY seeking
market nearer home" Burlington, too, accord
ing to the Spectator, has bled the people ct north-
ern Desmoines and Washington so long that they
completely understand her system OF depletion
and feel disposed to bear with It no longer"
Now this will be quite as rare news to The peo-
plc cf Washington and northern Desmoines, as it
is 10 the people Of Burlington. And those of
them who have told the editor Of the Spectator
sny thing that could be made the foundation for
his nsinaations here thrown out against or city,
win be as much amused at the credality of the
editor. As we could be al the weakness that could
head him to publish il to the world.
win the Spectator inform US how many OF the
citizens Of northern Desmoincs and Washington
counties Went over and sought his cooperation in
ne proposed plank rcad--and how maay OF them
told him they had been ''tribatary 10 Burlington
too long already for their own good" Did any
one ever tell him 50, or did he only dream it'
Does he state il as fact, only as an Inference
Was not his wish the father Of the thought?
This Is rather small business for the Spectator
10 BE- engaged in. Perhaps he thinks i the best
way 10 hIla his plank road aud increase the ba-
siness At Oqaawka. We rather think. however,
that he win find in does not pay very well in the
long run, and will not build many miles IF plank
road.

Cairo.

Charles Cist Of the Cincinnati Advertiser, on
the subject Of the general effort now making in
and outside Of the State Of Illinois, to represent
Cairo as destined shortly to cngross the CONNER
cial and general business Importance Of $, Lonis,
Louisville aud Cincinnati, records his own knowl-
edge and experience on the subject, which, he
says, ought TO be Sufficient TO inspire some degree
Of confidence in his conclusions. lie says:
.'Durin. the extreme low water Of 1919, | was
employed BY company Of persons eastward, to
examine the country adjacent to Cairo, and re-
port the necessary facts which wcald enable them
TO decide on propositions made for their purchase
Of q large interest in Osio GUY, opposite Cairo,
On the Missouri Shore
81 devoted an entire month TO the service, III
GLIDING the trip up aud dowa the Oac, and came
10 the conclusion, after thorough exploration OF
the country, and examination Of the whole sub
Jcct, that every large outlay OF money on Cairo
Or its vicinity, would be among the most unsafe
Investments imaginable.
"The first great difficulty Is the shiftin. char
acter Of the channel OF the Mississippi. In 1926,
when first saw Cairo, there was large lslaa,.
III the Mississippi, quite close 10 Cairo, aud the
channel ran along the Illinois shore. Since that
period, that Island has disappeared, Others have
formed in the ncighborhood, the channel has
SHouScV 0uatH uUtcS Ifosn one SloTe 10 the
other, and is now on the Missouri side.
"But this is not the only or even the chief diff
hcalty. The whole country through which the
lower Mississippi passes is alluvial soil, being a
rich deposit, in many places fifty feet deep, Of
sand and loan. On the other hand, the Mississip-
pi is one Of the mostrapid currents imaginable. l
found It during the Ohio river low water season
Of 1910, running current Of five to six miles per
hour. The result Of all thus is that not only the
river is finding new channels for its deep water,
but new courses, continually. Every individual
acquainted with the river is cosnizant of this. II
is continually making cut-otfs at some points, and
fresh bends at others; and my own personal exam
nations Of the Illinois side, from opposite Balm
bridge down to the mouth, inclncs me to believe,
that the Mississippi will some day find its course
along the foot of the bluffs, which strike the Ohio
five or six miles above its mouth. In this case,
Cairo will form large Island on the rivers left
edge, or be left high aud dry alongside the vaca-
ted bed Of the Mississippi.
'sBut whatever be the future course and chan
ne, Of the Mississippi, it is impossible for any
embankment to resist such current as the Mis-
sissppi presents in high floods, and put nv pre-
diction on record, on this point"
