The Des Moines Register says:
The following letter from Senator
Harper, chairman of the Iowa senate
committee, on commerce, indicates
that some of the citizens of the state
are taking an interest in the proposed
Des Moines river slack water canal.
"Des Moines, March 8.-John S. EN-

plying to your kind favor of the 4th

able to the slack water canal for the
Des Moines river. w. T. Harper is
nephew, and is president of the j.
w. Edgerly Co, a wholesale drug
house in Ottumwa. Some of the Des
Moines people have written me. / am
collecting a great deal of data on this
subject. | shall call a meeting of the
commerce committee soon to consider
these matters. S. H. Harper.
1t is singular, says the Register,
that the people of central Iowa are not
more united and energetic for the con
struction of this canal-a canal that
will more than repay its cost every
year in the saving of freights and the
increased value of grain and other
farm products. Other states are
spending millions of dollars, in addi-
ton to the appropriations gained from
the national government, why not To-
wa for the principal river of the state?
The Des Moines river will supply an
ample stage of water for the canal dur.
ing all the months when the water is
not frozen, and there is NO other river
in the nation that can be more cheaply
and safely made an all water route to
alb the markets of the world.
