sentiment in the upper Mississippi val
ley in favor Of demanding permanent
improvement of the upper river ade-
quate for the needs of commerce and
industry in that region in particular
and for the benefit of the country in
general. This sentiment found form
and expression in q large and repre-
sentative convention held at Quincy,
in which twenty-four river towns were
represented by men prominent in the
commercial and industrial life Of their
communities.
Fifteen millions of dollars is the sum
they ask Congress to appropriate, and
to secure this they have organized the
first Upper Mississippi River Improve
ment Association ever formed. These
men represent an enormous constit-
uency in the upper Mississippi valley
and they will base their claims upon
the broad ground that the contempla-
ted improvements in the upper river
make for the general improvement Of
the entire stream from it's headwaters
to the gulf.
1t must not be taken for granted that
the government has wholly neglected
the upper division Of the Mississippi.
On the contrary, it has recently ap-
proved of a project for improving that
division, but has failed to provide a
sum which the people of the valley
consider sufficient. The present avail
able appropriation for the upper divls-
ion is 100000 a year, while on the
lower division the appropriations are
about 100000 a year, or ten times
greater. A large part of the latter
amount, however, is used for the con-
struction of levees made necessary. by
floods.

Project Now in Hand,

The upper river improvement prof.
ect, which has been approved by Con.
gress, calls for n channel of four and
one-half feet in depth, to be increased
to six feet. This is on the basis of
the extreme low water Of 1854, which
does not occur at periods of more than
once in ten years. 1t practically means
n low-water channel of six feet at
ordinary low water, to be increased to
eight feet.
In carrying out this project the Des
Moines rapids at Keokuk have been
overcome by n canal with three locks
S0X3oO feet. The depth of the canal
was placed at five feet below extreme
low water. The Des Moines rapids

A chimpanzee taken to England
lately from the United States is said
tc be on the point of talking. 1t al
ready makes cultural sounds which
its attendants can understand. But a
dog can do as much as that When it
was shown at the Buffalo exposition
a German doctor who had to do with
deaf-mutes said that slight operation
upon one of the ligaments of the
tongue would enable the animal TO
speak At that time the chimpanzee
was under contract But 1t will prob
ably now be taken to Germany for the
operation. 1t can even now use type
writer and play the piano. But these
professions arc overcrowded. A talk
ing chimpanzee would make an excel
lent living. even though. like many
other takers, it said nothing worth
hearing.
