Missouri RIVER IMPROVEMENT The
question of changing the channel of tho
Missouri river opposite Vermillion has
been considerably agitatcd by the citizens
of both Clay and Union counties, Of late.
The object Of this change in the channel
is to protect the town of Vermlllion from
the continual encroachment of the river
upon its borders and prevent the overflow
upon the bottoms of the two counties. BY
invitation of a few Of the prominent
citizens of Vermillion, C. w. Beggs, Hon.
Alex. Hughes, Geo. r. freeman and
ourself tooA a special car, (hand cary and
morning. for the purpose of, in company
with the Vermillion gentlemen, viewing
the proposed point to be operated upon.
aud report upon the practicsbility and
feasibility of the project. After arriving
in Vermillion we were Joined by Henry
Newton, A. E. Lee, D. NJ. Inman, Mr..
Salmer, Mayor Burlick, Capt. Nelson
Miner, MI. Sn yder and Mr.. John Curliss,
prominent men of that town, and at once
proceeded to the Nebraska side of the
rive to look the ground over. At this
point, directly opposit Vermillion, the
river makes an immense bend, coming
oro,od ot Narm;liop ruop;p~ Soruo forr
miles below and thence back to the
Nebraska bluffs to within about "a Of a
mile from where it started to make the
bend. There are some 5000 acres of
land in this almost an island, most of it
being heavily tinbered. 1t is about II
miles around the bend and only a little
over half 4 mile across the neck near the
Nebraska bluffs. The object Ia view is
to cut a channel through this narrow neck
thereby reducing the length of the old
Missouri some II miles, and throw the
river entirely away from Vermillion and
the dangerously low banks a few miles
below where it usually overfows in
times of high water. The entire party
were highly pleased with the prospect,
and all agreed that the cut could be
made, and the object accomplished in a
few days and at a small ex pense. The
question of buying the right of way and
pushing the matter right through was
very. strongly talked, and we have nc
doubt but that in a few weeks the neces
sary arrangements will be made and
money raised sufficient to prosecute the
work to a final termination. We hope il
may succeed.

Yesterday was a day big with interest
to people who own property near the
river in the vicinity of the Illinois Cen
trail freight depot. On Sunday It was
noticed that the current had shifted from
near the bank where it was running Sat
urday evening, out toward the center of
the river, and some of our citizens who
had watched it pretty closely thought
that a sandbar was beginning to form
along our levee front. But about 10
o'clock on Monday the channel was seen
to change, and at noo it was cutting all
along from the foot Of Nebraska street
to the foot of Jones street, a distance of
400 or 500 yards, at a fearful rate.
Great sections ten o. fifteen feet in
length and from three to six feet in width
would 60 plunging in together, aud for a
time it BOXED as though Sioux City
would loose several acres Of her founda.
tion before night. All the smaller build.
ings in danger were removed at once, and
arrangements are making to move others
if the washing continues. The old saw
mill Of Rice & Spalding is being moved
for the third time this season, and the
large ice house of Capt. Young is in great
danger. Mr.. Young is having the zee
taken out as fast as possible, and will in
all probability save the greater part of it.
There are a number of families living
hear the river in that locality, and should
the cutting continue to day as yesterday
some half dozen houses will have to be
moved or vacated. One telegraph pole
of the Dakota Southern line wa washed
in, but was fished out, and reset last
evening. Altogether yesterday was an
exciting day on and about our levee, and
it is evident that something needs to be
done and done quickly, or some valuable
property will be lost.
