A BID FOR THE DIES MONIES RIVER Cox.
rRAcT.--A late number ofthe Keokuk Dis.
patch says that very low bid has been
made at the east for the construction Of the
Des Mo'nes River Improvement, and tina,
INC probability is that The bid will be aiken
by commissioner Van Antwerp, if the law
is sufficiently authoritative TO enable him
to accept of il. The late floods have de.
monstratcd pretty concnsiveIy that slack
water navigation, mado smooth and deep
by dams and locks, is not just the thing for
this age or nation. Our humble opinion is
that tho sooner this work is abandoned the
better for the people Of the Des Moines
valley and for the State at large. If all
The dams that now obsiruct the river, were
removed, the stream would be navieabe a,
some seasons Of the year, and without tolls
at that. 1t never will be made uavipable
for any length Of time by filling it with
dams and locks. Abandon il, say we, and
turn the money to some better account
than spending il in piipg up stones in the
river to be thrown down by the first big
food.--Oscaloosa Herald.
