WASTE OF GOOD MONEY.

Improve Missouri River.
Washington Dec. 11.-From a source
within the rivers and harbors committee
it is learned that IA majority of that
body is seriously considering a plan of
permanently abandoning all further at
.tempts to improve the Missouri river
and leaving that MAJESTIC stream to its
fate 1t Is argued that the river has
swallowed up countless millions in iua-
provements, which have contributed
nothing toward making 1t available for
nayisa ton, and that the time has come
|to9check this useless outflow of money.
II is said that courtesy alone is die
tating the action Of the committee in
giving hearing to members Interested
IN the Improvement of Missouri river
points, and a meeting for the purpose
OF hearing members on Improvement
projects a t Sioux City and the upper
stretch Of the river took place last
night. But according to reliable inside
Information the committee is seriously
3;tverse to spending another dollar on the
stream for improvements. If anything
at all is done in this direction it Will
probably be after the committee has OBJ
tanned unmistakable evidence that ii
can not do its duty, unpleasant tho 1T
may be.
