ShiftinS z of the Channel.

The channel in this vicinity has
been steadily undergoing changes, as
is shown by the manner in which the
boats navigate in this harbor. There
appears to be good water from the
head of Ofermann's island to Cook's
point, at the lower end of Davenport,
but above that the boats are maneu-
vered IN way that indicates that
there are radical changes in the
channel from what it has been. The
sand seems to be moving over to the
year ago, even, the boats found their
best channel down the Rock Island
shore, below the levee of this city.
Now they take a course farther out
in the river. There is drift of sand
with formation of bar, below the
island, and it seems to be steadily in
progress. The sand barges have
taken a great many cubic yards of
sand out of the river midway between
the two cities. but it seems to drift
in there about as fast as they take it
out. Just where the sand comes
from is not plain, unless the con-
struction of some of the wingdams.
with increase of current on the rap
ids. has caused large quantities of it
to sweep down that swift course OF
the river and be dumped at the Rock
Island and Davenport river front.
Ii the water continues to shoal in
front of the two cities it is possible.
as the Democrat suggests, that the
dredgc may come in use there some

Drowned in q Pond.

Willie Kraul, II years Of age, met
death in an unusual manner Satur-
day afternoon at Harrison and Six
teenth streets. Davenport. Willie,
with few boys of about his age.
was having sport on small
board raft, which the boys had
made, in the pond. The water
in the pond was between four
and five feet in depth. All the boys
were on the raft, the boards of which
were tied together by pieces Of rope,
and they showed the raft out from
the shore about six feet when it went
to pieces. The other boys with
Willie scrambled to get onto the
boards, broken apart, and succeeded
and finally reached the shore. but
Willie went down. The other boys,
frightened on account of their mar
row escape, ran away at once and
informed the neighbors of what had
happened. Several men, however,
saw the trouble the boys were in and
they rushed to the pond. but there
were none in the crowd who had the
courage to 20 in for young kraul.
He was beneath the water fully Is
minutes before he was taken out,
Nick Hansen. who had arrived by
that time. being the one who waded
in after him. He had no difficulty
in readily finding the boy and bring
ing him to shore. DR.. Middleton
was summoned, but he saw at once
that life was extinct, and the body
was taken home.
