The Iowa river is still rising as

small tributaries to the north. ALI or
the bottom lands between Center

north OF the dixie, have been overlooked.
The river has been rising slowly all
day. and Mrs. Pierce, before leaving
the club house this afternoon, informed
the T.-R. that rise Of between two
and three feet had been noticeable
since 10 o'clock this morning.
4 At Center street this afternoon, the
water is flowing over the dam prac-
tically on a level, and Is one foot and
eight inches higher than at the high
point Of the year, attained last sat
urday. 1t Is estimated that there is not
over eight inches differences between
the stage of water today and the high
water Of two and three years ago this
summer. 1t is not thought the river
will show much difference, excepting
that it may rise slowly, until tomorrow,
when it will probably begin to fall I'M
less there should be more rain north.

been very little gain in annual ton
mage for the past two years Is attrib-
uted to lack OF accommodations for
larger shipping
The craft of vessels now passing
through the canal is lirlited to twenty
five feet seven inches. The improve
ments under way will permit vessels
drawing twenty-nine feet to pass safe
ly from sea to sea At present both
the Kaiser Wilhelm and the Amster-
dam canals admit larger vessels than
the Suez canal The improvement will
place the Suez canal a little ahead Of
the others mentioned in the size Of

It is also contemplated to light the
10l miles Of canal with electricity, SO
that all shipping may pass through at
