The Boyer River.

Mr.. Editor: Concerning the
- ~ ell;,s. NV, of
sedimentary deposits Idesire to
submit the following; Low
water mark, near the mouth of
a tributary of the Boyer, not
subject to overflow, was ten
feet beneath the stringers of a
public bridge; now, low water
mark is but four feet beneath
the same point of measurement,
that is, the Boyer, by filling up
of its bed has backed into this
stream and filled it up five or
SIX feet in the twenty years
past.
Under the approaches of
bridges across the Boyer there
We're spaces which have been SO
filled by the river deposits that
! am certain that the Boyer,
now, cannot carry but two thirds
of the water it did ten Years
ago.
When | was grading on the
railroad from Woodbine to Wall
Lake | noticed that the old
sloughs or old river beds and
low strips of ground which had
heretofore acted as reservoirs
for the rising waters of the
Boyer were almost filled up by
sediment and that when the
overaows of the Boyer were
largely confined to one side of
the ] valley, deposits exceeded
five feet in many places, as we
determined by the nature of the
soil and by fence posts whose
tops now stand less than one
foot above the general surface
OF the ground. Any one who
could tell the difference between
the colors of clay and black
loan could tell when he cut be-
low the deposits into the origin
al soil of the Valley.
Under my observation, a
stream for more than thirty
years coming from the hills in
to the valley, has emptied it's
waters into a ditch, which was
dug with a view to carry the
water into the Boyer; while the
water in the ditch would travel
a mile in thirty minutes, in an
average flood, it didnot prevent
the ditch from filling up with
sediment from the hills. The
ditch has been repeatedly filled
up by sediment. All Though
dug out last season, it is largely
filled up today.
The amount of soil washed
down from the uplands is past
comprehension; in many places
may be found gulches from
forty to two hundred feet wide
md all the way from one quart
,r Of a mile to more than one
nile in length; on the hillsides.
n the fields, the soil is often
washed down to where it was

Editorial Notes

City election will soon be
here, and we still believe it
would be to the best interests
of the city for the voters to get
together and select just one
ticket. Select good men for
all the positions and elect them.
Select men who have been
tried and are known to be in
favor of the upbuilding of the
city-men who will put the in
terest of Mo. Valley before
personal interest. A ticket of
that kind would be especially
good for the city at this time
as Mo. Valley will need good
men at it's head during the year
1903. Get together and make
one ticket, and all work for the
best interests of the city.

We must find new customers by Ell
larging commercial relations, by ex.

we must get some place, some people,

raise.
Suppose the trade with these

that would amount with China alone
to 81. 900, 900 a day-nearly 81, 800,
900, 900 a year. We could not begin
to furnish it to them. We have not
the surplus.
"The European nations have the
Mediterranean Sea and two oceans to
cross in reaching these peoples. We
have to cross but one ocean. 1t might
do us some good if we had any ship to
use it. Of the carrying trade going
to China in 1893 we carried three
fourths of 1 per cent. Yet we call
ourselves a commercial nation and are
ambitious to be a maritime nation.
Farmers care nothing about the
size of a ship, but they do care about
its carrying their products to some new
people who will use them. I am
building ships for this purpose, be-
cause l see an opportunity to make a
reasonable return on my investment.
The reason we a compete with
other nations is because we have
greater facilities in using human in
telligence, while the other nations
supply human energy. Fifty or sixty
years ago we had more than our share
of the worlds carrying trade. Today
the cheapest transportation in the
world is on the Great Lakes. 1t now
astonishes Europe, but the end is not
yet.

1t would not only help farmers of the
Northwestern states by taking the

ton, but it would carry away their
W crop at times. Either I know
absolutely nothing or l know abso-
lutely that these farmers would be-
greatly benefited. The entire wheat

there had been ships to take it when
it got there"

state judicial convention at the Light
