his wits and his imagination. Occasionally
he gazed out Of the window; but not for the
delight of Assad's eye was the varied life
that swept along Clark street from Polk to

4 Of the Resolution Adopted by the

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. - ~
.. Winona Mimi, Oct 14.-The government
snagboat, Colonel A. Mackenzie, arrived at WI.
mona on Its way up the river on the last trip Of
the season. The steamer is now en- route to
st. Paul, but has good deal Of work to do
between here and there and does not expect to
reach its destination before the middle of next
week. From st. Paul the boat will make the
| into winter quarters In the Des Moines canal
at keokuk &.%* Ir** tt,i- :
Captain F. B. Martin, who is in charge Of the
vessel was asked particularly concerning the
River Improvement association in convention at
La Crosse this week. He said he considered
them practical, and that navigable six-foot
| channel could be maintained with the proper ex-
renditure. To secure this 1t would be necessary
| to construct more dams and to employ more
dredges. but If the money for carrying on
the wark We're made available there was no
question but that such channel could be made
| a realized fact and steamboat transportation on
| the father of waters be made a much more i'm
portant thing than at present. The Mackenzie
| he said, was tied up at La Crosse during the two
| days Of the convention and on the first after
noon took the delegates out for trip on the
river - ~
Concerning the regular work Of the MacKen
| re, Captain Martin said it was much the same
thing over and over. The boat, as rule took
about month to make the round trip from st.
Louis to st. Paul. and while a lot Of snags
were pulled out in one trip and stumps blown
| up' tteIc Wcle uOIe 10 De aLIeQQeQ TO the
| next trip. While the Mackenzie was known az
snagboat 1t did other work, including sound.
| Ing the channel, making surveys of parts of the
river and setting out buoys where needed. Sound.
| 1ngs were always taken at low places on the
| river to see how the shifting sands were affect
| ing the channel. =. :.
AT the present time" said Captain Martin,
the channel is in excellent condition all the
way from st. Louis to st. Paul. The last time
/ the boat was in st. Louis the water there STOOD
! at thirty feet In the very high water, when
4 the river Is above the dams, the tendency is t.
| natten out the bottom Of the river and undo
the work Of the, dams in. keeping the mar
channel deeper, but at the present stage, wher
| the water Is below the dams, these dams serve
| to keep the water in the channel and It cuts
| out its course, the present stage being bette,
for the ideal channel conditions than when the
| water is higher ess,S-- -
Rather more than the usual amount Of work
ne said, was being done on the present trip a,
1t was the last one Of the season and the boa
| might not be up this way again before the s1s,
of May. From 25C to 300 snags had been re-
moved during the year.
