Missouri River Improvements.

The improvement OF the Missouri
river near Jefferson City has been Of
an excellent and substantial charac-
ter. If done twenty years ago IL
would have assured a depth of water
making navigation possible for every
month in the year. But with all
the excellent work done, and the
narrowing Of the river to about one
half its former size, navigation is
still impeded by reason of the shallow
water. This seems to be due TO the
fact that the western prairies have
been put into cultivation, and the
rainfall that forHally found its way
to the "Dis<l ddy" now sinks in
to the earth. Whether this be the
cause or whether it is due to the lack
of rainfall, Of course, we are unable
to say, but the fact remains that
there seems to be less water in the
Missouri river year after year. Or
course, it may be due to the fact
that it has been especially dry, and
that the SHOWS have been light with
III the last six or seven years, Ger.
tsinly the improvements of the river
are snch that navigation would no

Five years agoa syndicate estab.
'ished creameries throughout Indi-

from Lake Michigan to the Ohio.
In each place the agent succeeded
in raising q considerable amount of
money. 1t is averred that of al
these creameries established but one
is in operation at this time. The
farmers who were induced to put
their money into the concerns de
clare they were swindled. 1t is
said that Indiana was not the only
state worked by the creamery scheme
and that altogether the men behind
the scheme made several million
dollars. The creamery craze has
been followed by the canning factory
fever, which is now at its height.
Within the past two months dozens
OF these establishments have scat

were sixty two Of them in operation

are between twenty five and forty

The Countu Court.

The county court consisting Of
Judges Schell, Holrah and Taylor
have surrendered their offices to the
new judges elected on tho sixth day
of November last. In retiring from
the position to which the people
elected them we believe that we voice
the sentiments of the people when
we say that the judges of this court
have given very general satisfaction
in the discharge of their public duties
and hat they have faithfully done
that, which in their Judgment, they
believed would be for the best interests
of the whole people. In commencing,
their successors il office Messrs Dulle
Elston and Barker-we believe that
justice demands Il word of approval
to the outgoing court. There are
many duties that confront members
of the county court that are not al
ways pleasant and agreeable, and
men being human, + bound occas-
ionally to err, We believe the new
court, being fresh from the people
and all of them new members, will
prove efficient, capable public SER
wants. They have the capacity and
the courage to do right, which is the
thing most needed in positions of
this character.
