BEST DAYS FOR

REPORTS DUBUQUE MEETING
Navigate Channel Season Through i.
What is Oemanded-Levera
on Railroads.

Aid. John OConnor, who was one
OF the delegates. reported the proceed

Of the Upper Mississippi Improvement
association to the meeting of the city
council last evening. Capt. O'Con.
nor has been identified with the river
N various capacities in steamboating
for nearly 40 years.
The cause of this convention is i
very laudable one" the captain said,
"and should be encouraged by ever
person living on the banks of the
great Mississippi river from St. Paul
TO the gulf. No one appreciates this
more than those who are cut off from
the river transportation. They are the
people who are most enthusiastic over
the project.
People Must BE Aroused.
The object of the Dubuque conven-
ton was to impress upon the people
the great necessity of improving the
river. in order that navigation can be
continued successfully through the
summer season. and then by compell-
ing reasonable rates. There is more
injustice inflicted upon the people of
this country by railroads than by all
other causes combined. Every bust
ness man who is depending entirely
upon transportation by rail knows this
to be a fact, and therefore he should
perform his part in encouraging this
Improvement of the river.
The Mississippi is of great import
arce TO all the people living on its
banks. and likewise 10 the whole coun-
try. With this Improvement it will
become a free route from our extreme
north TO our southern boundary.
deem il of the utmost importance that
immediate action be taken looking to
the careful consideration of the i'm
provement of the upper Mississippi
river.
''Thirty-five years ago. when | COM

Wis, was the head of navigation at
low water. Thirty inches Of water
was all there was on most of the bars
between La Crosse and St. Paul. Now
there is not less than four feet AT low
stages.
Fish Hire Turtles.
II have known instances before the
river was improved where the large
fish, on their way down river, were
compelled to hire turtles TO bring them
over the bars. Why. | have rowed
skiff miles in order to- secure wat
er deep enough to take bath in. /
tell you those were days when water
was a luxury. Now all this trouble
has disappeared. and whencver six
feet of water can be maintained the
season through. there will be plenty of
steamboatins again on the great faith
