A portion Of the work was carried
on by the government itself, using
its own plant. purchasing material
and hiring labor. and the remainder
under c"ntract.
The season of 1896 opened with q
good stage Of water, and by June the
river had risen to about thir teen
feet, which gradually fell away uu-
til during the last three months of
the year the water was quite low,
especially in that part Of the river
above keokuk. Only a very few
points, however. offered obstruction
to navigation, and between Keokuk
and the Missouri river no trouble a:
all was experienced during the year
On account Of lack OF funds very lit

On tie Rock Island rapids two
steam drill! boats and a dredge be-
longing to the United States govern
ment were engaged durin g the greater
part of the season in blasting and
removing rock with a view to widen
ing and deepening the channel. in
which work very satisfactory pro-
gress was made. The broken rock,
together with purchased rock, was
used in construction Of dams. About
1883 cubic yards Of rock were
blasted and removed by dredge, and
5,276 cubic yard, OF rock were pur-
chased. The principal work was
done at Duck creek, Moline, and
lower chains
Rock Island Hsrbor.
The work proposed for tie Rock
Island harbor under the present ap-
preparation of s. 600, is the removal
OF AS much of the rock as csn be
effected between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets, commencing at
low water line and running cut to
feet at low water. Work was COM
menced Oct. II with one drill boat.
and on the 2Sth & secood drill boat
was added, ard work was continued
until Nov. "a when cold weather put
stop to further operations. The
area covered by the two drill5oa.s is
2I,Oi 0 square feet. The quantity of
rock blasted and broken up is about
1.s67 cubic yards. II is proposed,
duriug the coming spring. to con-
tinue The blasting as far as funds

Considerable impetus has been given
to the irarket by the reports of short
crops abroad, and there is undoubted
ly ii good deal of truth i'll the report.
But we must remember in this connec-
ton that the same crop conditions
are not at all likely to prevail all over
the world for two seasons in succession
and that those countries which are
now suffering from a scarcity may
next year rejoice in large crops. The
price of our wheat is fixed by foreign
demand, and thus next year we may
have both poor crops and small
prices. The crops of Argentina and
Australia, being in the Southern
hemisphere. will be gathered next
winter and will come in before we reap
another harvest. If these should be
good and the prospects in India, Rus
STA, Hungary and France should be
favorable, our wheat may sell next
August for forty or fifty cents bushel.
| We hope our farmers may have next
year both good crops and high prices,
| but we would strongly advise them
not to place all their faith III the wheat

.SOUING WHEAT.

The sensation of the past two weeks
in America has been the advance in
the price Of wheat, which passed the
dollar mark in Baltimore August Goth
and has been lowering about that
figure every since. The rise this year
came in time to benefit the farmers
as most of the grain was still in their
hands, instead of in the possession of
the spectators which is usually tn e
case when prices go up.
To the farmers of this county the
increase is a blessing, but they
should take heed lest it prove not to
be an unmixed blessing. The far
mers of Maryland, in particular, can
not afford to grow wheat as a rule for
less than dollar a bushel, and this
year is only giving them an opportu-
nifty to come out square on the grain
which they have been producing
for years at loss. There is evidence
that some of them have lost sight of
this, and, excited by the flaming head
lines III the prOtectlonlst journals,
which claim the increase in the price
of wheat as well as the abundant crop
as results of the Mckinley admins
tration, are preparing to largely in
crease their acreage for next year.
These should deliberate with eau
ton before they extend their opera
tions, and should investigate the
causes of the present furry. There
is no evidence whatever that the rise
will be permanent. for it is largely
speculative. For instance, no one
will probably be found who will say
that there was any actual difference
in the valu4 of bushel of wheat on
Saturday August 81, and the follow
ing Tuesday, yet the price was about
ten cents lower on the latter date.
