CLARKE SCHEME FOR RIVER
Proposition 10 Make Missouri Navi-
gable VIII ne UrEed at wash
inEron by om.h.n.

Henry T Clarke is in Washington TO at
tend the meeting Of the National River
and Harbor congress, which was called for
january Is. This convention will consider
a scheme TO be presented to congress in
pursuance Of a resolution introduced by
Mr. Clarke at the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress at Portland August 1e. L.
IS and Is. The resolution was:
Resolved. That with the many large and
pressing demands on the treasury for the
Improvement of our rivers, harbors and
waterways. and the inability 10 grant
funds from the internal revenues, that con-
gress be asked to provide means for the
speedy improvement OF our national water
ways and harbors. 10 as to accommodate
the largest steamers and steamships that
wish to use the same. by issuance OF at least
S2G0. 100000 OF ? per cent bonds, to advance
the work under way and supply other needs
ns fast as can be done with due regard 10
economy.
Mr.. Clarke's scheme is TO have the gov
eminent issue bonds instead of a direct
appropriation. He says his idea in not so
much 10 make the Missouri navigable
stream TO prevent erosion and thus save
| thousands OF acres of land which are now
yearly wasting into the river and taking
along with il the results OF years OF
toll on the part Of the farmers alons.4he
river bottoms. Omaha is not SO much
affected by this erosion as the immense
volume Of Stag thrown out by the smelter
company has made a permanent bank on
this size. but the farmers above Omaha
and below are in constant danger from this
washing away.
Scott King OF South Omaha. engineer Of
the stock yards company. has invented a
scheme which will build q sandbar IN
, twenty-four hours at any given point. and
this Mr.. Clarke will present to the con-
Eress Ii is very simple. consisting Of
ancboring chain 10 the bank and having
some brush tied on. This will form a
sandbar. which will stop the washing, form
a sand bank and straiEhten out the river.
