Its feathers are so tiny and fine as
to be almost spineless, so thickly set

MILLIONS FOR RIVER

ment of Navigation and Com merce.

The Mississippi River problem Is one
OF the oldest and most difficult with
which Congress has TO deal. 1t Is
many sided and subject to constantly
changing conditions. Years of discus
sion and millions of money have not
completely solved it. for the old father
of waters Is decidedly human In his
characteristics and is afflicted with the
frailties, the peryersity and viclousness
of humanity as we'll as possessing
many of its virtues. TO reform his
habits and hold his mighty power In
subjection to the will Of man, to re-
quire him to surely and safely carry
the commerce of an empire, are some
of the details of what is known as the
Mississippi River problem.
Upper Division Neglected.
The appropriations In the river and
harbor bill show that the bulk of mon
ey appropriated for the improvement
of this great water way has been and
Is being expended on the lower division
of the river from Cairo to New Or
leans. The inadequate work upon the
upper division. northward from Cairo
to st. Paul. has resulted in a gradual
ly lessening of the depth Of the chan
mel until at the present time only small
steamboats, Of light draft ply north of
Cairo. Big packets like those between
ST. Louis and New Orleans have al

sippi, and in periods of low water navi

$125. 900. 1t is 400 feet long, 100 feet
wide and is entered from the canal
Unlike most dry docks, no pumping is
required to empty it of water, for the
situation Is such that by opening n
sluice the water falls by gravity di-
rectly into the river outside of the
canal, which Is an enormous saving in
the cost of operation. This dock Is
used for repairing the fleet of boats
engaged In river Improvement work
and also for any private boat In need
of urgent repairs which does not re.
quire more than two or three days to
complete. The government exacts a
small fee for its use by private parties,
There is only one other dock OF the
kind In the United States, and that is
at Louisville on the falls of the Ohio,
but the latter Is much smaller.
The Rock Island rapids have been
improved by excavating a channel
through the rocky reefs from 200 to
400 feet In width with a minimum
depth of four feet below low water.

making improvements of various kinds

DOES THIS CLIMATE CHANGE?


During the several very hot sum-
mers recently past there was theory
not infrequently ventilated that the
climate in American cities had radic-
ally changed, and that hereafter very
hot summers would follow each other
without break. There was no escape.
The general use of electricity was do
Ing the business. says writer In Bran
dur Magazine How electricity was do
ing It or why | do not recall hearing,
but that was the all-sufficient explana-
tion. l venture the opinion that not
one in ten of the men and women who
talked this nonsense had more than the
faintest idea of what electricity Ii. But
they were cocksure of the soundness of
the theory. The summer of 1902 has
knocked all semblance of integrity out
of these unbaked theories and left US
wondering whether there ever was such
weather before. Probably there has
been, and possibly not. | do not pre-
tend to know, and | am not old enough
to remember the rigors of that famous
1916 when there was frost In every
month In the year. But l should not be-
astonished TO live long enough to expe-
rence such summer and to hear my
good neighbors attribute II to every
thing from changed climate to the re-
venge of an angry Deity. As a mat
ter OF fact | suspect that the climate
has not changed, but Is always chang
Ing swinging like pendulum back
and forth; not, however, with the same
simple regularity, but In some eccen-
trlc fashion which as yet We do not
understand These remarks do not
mean that the climate and the weather
are beyond the comprehension of men.
Not at all. | believe that after these
things have been under trained obser-
yation a sufficiently long time the pres
ent mysteries viii be cleared away, and
that we will understand much better
than now many of the things that battle
us. believe 1t quite possible that we
may not only be able to tell what the
morrow will bring, but that, to some
degree at least, we may be able to con-
troll 1t. At present, however, the old
wife In the country, the wiseacre In
town, and the government observer are
pretty nearly on par.

for all the needs of the large steam
boats and tows which are the develop
ment of modern navigation. This prof.
ect also includes dam clear across
the river, converting the rapids into a
deep pool on which boats may ply at
any speed without hindranee. 1t is
claimed by engineers who have inves-
tigated these proposed improvements
an added advantage of such dam
would be that. while by substituting
a quicker and more convenient passage
of the rapids. 1t also would develop a
great water power with fall of from
twenty to twenty-five feet and vol
ume of water sufficient to furnish pow
er for all the manufactures within 100
miles of the rapids.
Another important recent improve
ment Is the government dry dock at
Keokuk. built in 1889 at a cost of

beyond the Des Moines River. The
canal extends along this west or Iowa
shore between Nashville aud Keokuk.
1t was opened To navigation In 1891.
1t is seven and one-half miles long and
surmounts fall of twenty feet. which
Is the slope of the river from the head
of the canal TO the foot. At high water
but when the river recedes to u stage
of three feet above low water all boats
pass through the canal.
In the opinion of the government en-
gineers this canal has been the means
of preserving navigation ON the upper
Mississippi for the past twenty years.
During that time there has been Il
gradual cheapening of freight rates
and the decline In that particular In
connection with the heavy charges nee
essary to transfer freight over the rap
Ids by rail or by fiatboat when the
water was low would have been a
greater tax than the traffic would bear
and as a result river navigation would
have fallen into disuse
Keokuk Canal l. cks.
The locks Of the Keokuk canal are
massive structures of solid stone and
the gates are operated by hydraulic
pressure from the central point of the
locks. Two men operate the locks and
1t is an impressive sight to see a tow
ering steamboat enter the lock. the
gate close, the water subside. the oppo-
site gate open and the boat pass out,
all under the control of two puny hu-
man instruments.
The Keokuk canal offers the difficult
ty of long and shallow channel in
terrupted by three locks. Twenty min
utes' time Is consumed at each lock by
the passage of a large boat, while the
compensating advantage is absolute
safety and certainty.
A movement Is afoot which Is part
of the general plan Of upper Mlssissip-
pi improvement although there was
no mention of any specific detail by
the recent river convention, to replace
the present canal with and its three
locks by single large lock adequate
