age, and was a resident of Racine, which

where there is sawdust deposit; for in
stance, the large steamers used to RIM TO
the fort and Minnehaha, and now it is al
most impossible for small boat to run up
there. Nor is that all-11 600 acres have
become dry at the head of Lake Pepin,
which years ago never got dry. This is the
effect of the saw dust which has washed
out into the lake, and which now forms
great bars there A bar composed
mainly of sawdust is the meanest bar a
boat can run aground on, for the sand fills
up around the boat and makes it almost
impossible to get off. 1t was such bar
as this that the Minneapolis got stuck on
at Pigs Eye some time ago. The bars be-
tween here and Prescott are composed
chiefly of sawdust. A noticeable one Is
that almost opposite the laundry at Has
tings which is composed almost entirely
of sawdust. In warm weather this saw
dust ferments and builds up, showing con-
clusively the nature of the bar.
You can't put into the river anything
that stays there without obstructing navi
gation-and that the sawdust stays there
is an undoubted fact. The section of the
river known as the st. Paul river has been
filled up of late years worse than any other
section, and this has been done entirely by
sawdust. If you take handful from any
of the bars and squeeze it dry you will find
that a very large proportion of it is saw
dust, and this deposit will eventually cut
off all river communication with st. Paul,
except in the highest stages of water. All
bars in the upper Mississippi are composed
chiefly of sawdust, and when steamers pass
over them the wheels stir up mass of
floating sawdust. which, however, is soon
to settle and form new bars.

LOCAL SUMMARY.
The Electric Wire and It's
position On 18th street.
The Base Ball Controversy
between Rival Clubs.
Final Termination of the
Fitch Assault Case.
CARELESsNEsS.

Last evening the workmen commenced
the erection of the frame work that is to
contain the boxes for the reconstructed
postofice. The work was carried on by
means of an electric light which was placed
in the apartment. The wire connecting
with the light extended across Sixteenth
street to the corner of Second avenue, and
was allowed to sway so low as to endanger
the lives of hackmen and ''bus' drivers
who had occasion to pass along that street.
During the evening a hackman, while on
his way to the c., B. s. Q. depot, had his
hat taken off and his head somewhat in
jured by coming in contact with the sus-
pended wire. An accident of a more seri-
Gus character was prevented when the
driver of an omnibus attempted to cross
under the wire, unmindful of its presence,
by an attache of the postoffice, who stop
ped him and made him acquainted with
the obstruction The wire was elevated
this morning, and repetition of last
nights experience was rendered impossible.

THE CANAL.

Col r. nj. Littler of Davenport in a re

Mercantile exchange of New York City on
agriculture and kindred topics of the
Northwest gave the Hennepin canal the
following send off.
The transportation question is vital
one to our Western business men, and con-
Germs the investment of every dollar of
capital upon our new lands in the North
west We are opening up farms from a
thousand to fifteen hundred miles on the
west of the Missouri river, and there's no
installing that this nation is to be cheaply
fed, necessary, from the fact that her
bread stuffs are so much in excess of her
home consumption. Unless something is
done with regard to our transportation
facilities, the extensive acreage now looked
forward to with hope as being producing
section, cannot become so either with
profit to labor or capital. The route by
water ought to be as free as the air we
breathe, and with that view the west asks
that the waters of the Mississippi and Hi
nois may be brought to unite with those
of the great lakes, and hence onward to
the sea. by the construction of the natural
water routes; such as the Hennepin canal,
connecting the Mississippi with the
lakes which receives the unanimous
support of every agricrlturist of the north

BASE BALL.

The rivalry which has existed between
the Stars of this city and the Boys in Blue
of Moline has resulted in some very finely
contested games during the present season,
but has not terminated in decisive
victory for either side. Both teams claim
that they are champions, and they are so
evenly matched that both claims are good.
The Moline clue intimated that they would
enjoy a final game wherein each side
should advance $50 as prize. The Rock
Island boys had that amount on hand in
such short order that it took the breath
away from the Moline ball tossers and their
friends. 1t now begins to look as though
the Moline nine desired to get out of the
match as they state that they will not play
the game in Rock Island because of the
remarks which the crowd gathered at
such a contest volunteer on such an
occasion. They want to play the game in
Moline. The Stars affirm that four of the
six games have been played in Moline, and
they think it no more than right that the
next game should be played in this city.
The same objection which the Boys in Blue
make against the Rock Island crowd exists
as to the Moline crowd in case the Stars
visit that city. The Stars, however, mean
business, and it remains to be seen whether
the Moline men are equally DESTROYS of
playinga deciding game, or want to play a
game of bluff The Stars are willing to
play the game in Davenport, and this
proposition would appear to be fair to
both sides. Perhaps the Moline team are
afraid the Davenport crowd will guy
them, and consequently will refuse to
play a game across the river.

HARVEST MOON.

The September moon fills on the 27th at
1926 a. m. 1t is the beautiful harvest
moon and possesses special claim to dis
tinction. For, owing to the position of the
ecliptic in regard to the equator at this
season, the moon rises for several consec-
utive nights with only comparatively
small interval between the successive ris
ings. The short autumnal days seem thus
to be prolonged by the floods of silvery
moonlight that make the night beautiful
as day. The phenomenon is as easily ex-
planned as the axial rotation of the earth.
But in the olden times, when man was
nearer to nature, the harvest moon was
considered a direct interposition of Provi-
dence to assist the husbandman in gather
ing in the harvest.

THE TRIAL.

At last the assault to murder case, in
which G. W. Fitch appears as defendant
and J. l.. Hamilton as prosecuting witness,
is drawing to a close. The arguments were
commenced this morning and the case viii
doubtless be given to the jury this after
noon. The case grows out of quarrel
about the possession of some rock, where
in Fitch attempted to take it from Lydon
and was prevented by Hamilton. The
former fired a pistol for the purpose of
soaring Hamilton, but the latter maintain
ed that the bullet raised welt upon his
cheek Fitch claims to De a good shot,
and affirms that had he desired, he could
have killed Hamilton without the least
trouble. The case was taken on change
of venue from Whiteside county to the
Rock Island circuit court. About 100
witnesses have been examined. A rather
peculiar feature of the case was the effort
made to impeach the defendant. 1t is
rumored that Fitch has made an effort to
disbar a certain attorney of Morrison for
unprofessional conduct, and the effort to
impeach his testimony in the present trial
can be used against him in the coming
case against the legal defendant. 1t is
already mixed up mess, to say the least
of it, and futire aeyelopments are ex-
