SAFE BLOWERS.
C. Petctsons Safe Blown and
Robbed Last Right.

Between two and three
o'clock this morning the safe
in c. Peterson's grocery store
was blown open by burglars
and robbed and the store was
robbed of a large amount of
goods. The burglars gained
an entrance to the store by
prying up a window in the
basement and gaining an en-
trance to the cellar. After
getting into the cellar they
bored around the lock on the
cellar door and removed it ad-
mitting them to the store room.
The safe door was blown COM
pletely off and thrown several
feet from the safe. The burg
lars got about S35 in cash out
of the safe, S5 out of the cash
drawer, S25 in old coins. Out
of the store they took about
$l00 worth of jewelry and
about 5000 worth of cutlery.
After they had finished their
job they sat down next to the
front window and cut a water
melon and ate it, showing that
they had their nerve with them.
This is the first safe blowing
Mo. Valley has experienced for
several years and it is thought
the job was done by the gang
which has been operating
through Northern Iowa for the
past few months. The officers
this morning arrested a sus-
pect and put him in Jail and

others. The loss is quite a ser

three fellows climbed from the

and Conductor Goodman went

matter. He was accompanied
by C. F. Bachelor who happen

they reached the engine the

River Floods.

The fiood-damages along the
streams of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, and California are with
out precedent in the history of
the respective states; investiga-
tion establishes that the "high
waters are becoming higher
and low waters are becoming
lower" and that these streams
subject to overflow are reduc-
ing their channel capacity by
sedimentary deposits.
Along one of the streams of
Pennsylvania, with a drainage
basin less than that of the
Boyer, recent food-damages ex-
ceeded S50O,O0O; the channel
capacity was greatly contracted
by deposits, and the valley
lands flooded, and damaged by
deposits of clay, sand and
gravel. Sedimentary deposits
have reduced the channel ca
pacity of rivers in California
from 33 to 95 per cent and an
nual floods have become the
rule.
In 1902 the estimated flood
damages for the Boyer and Sol
dier were: S648,000 on the bot
tom lands; in addition to this
misfortune, the channel capac-
ity of these two streams
have been greatly reduced by
deposits brought down by the
floods from the uplands.
Excessive rainfall cannot be
assigned as the prime cause Of
the destructive floods as may
be shown by the following:
Average annual rainfall in Har-
rison county, 1361-18S5, 34.6
inches; 1ss5-l9o2, 1886 inches.
The rainfall by the month is as
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1905-07-20

The average annual rainfall
in the Missis sfppi Valley for
the l25 years past has been
slightly on the decrease, but
the flood heights. on the rivers
has been decidedly on the in
crease.
The recent rainfall in Hi
nois, Missouri and Kansas did
not exceed four inches, but this
four inches threw the streams
out of their banks and flooded
valley lands.
From New York to Cali
fornia, on all streams subject
to overflow, food heights are
increasing and channel capacity
decreasing; hence the chief
elements demanding considera-
tion are: 1. Removal of flood
waters. 2. Preservation and
enlargement Of the river chan
mel.
A summation of authority on
the cause and effect of over
flowing river floods is as follows
"The unfavorable condition
and progressive deteriorating
of a stream is due to the prev
alence Of high-water-stage con-
ditions, and the consequent ac-

Ta'k With the Business Men

What seems to be the matter
with the business men of Mis-
souri, Valley? Can it be that
they have reached the conclu-
sion that advertising don't pay ?
Every other town in the county
is going after the farmers
trade. The papers at Logan,
Woodbine, Dunlap, Mondamin,
Little Sioux and Persia are
we'll filled with advertisements
of the merchants of those
towns inviting the farmers to
come and get the bargains the
merchants are offering. Are
the merchants of this city ex-
tending any invitations to the
farmers to come to the Valley?
The papers in this city are at
least the equal of any papers in
the county, but a look at their
advertising columns would con-
vince a stranger that Missouri
Valley was a cross roads trad
ing point, instead of the larg-
est town in the county. The
Missouri Valley Times goes
into almost every home in the
country surrounding Missouri
Valley for ten miles in every
direction, but when the farmers
pick up the paper they fail to
find anything that would snow
them that the merchants OF
Missouri Valley want tseig
trade. We believe that The
farmers whose trade should
come to Mo. Valley are getting
in the habit of going to other
towns simply because they are
invited there by the merchants
of those towns through the
newspapers. The circulation
books of The Times are open to
the inspection of any merchant
in the city. We believe if the
merchants of Missouri Valley
would try ashard as the merch
ants of other towns do for the
trade of the farmers, the busi
ness of Missouri Valley could
be doubled. We have spent /
about $500 in the last four
months building up a circula-
tion for our merchants and now
we would be pleased to hay
them use that circulation to
bring trade to this city. Try it
for couple of months and see
if it won't work to your ad-
vantage.
