season the Grinnell Independents de-
feated the Oskaloosa Y. M. C. A..
team at the gymnasium last night by

very interesting throughout, both
sides playing fine ball. Grinnell had
the best of the argument, however,
showing the benefits of more practice
than the Oskaloosa team
The game was nearly even during
the first half, Grinnell getting 20
points and Oskaloosa 10. In the sec
ond half Grinnell secured 80 points
and oskaloosa 20 points. Captain
Klein palyed star game for Grinnell,
as did Powell, the other forward.
The work of the Oskaloosa lads sur.
prised their supporters. playing a fine
game for the few nights practice they
have had II takes about four years
to develop a basket ball player, and
all of the Grinnell team have engaged
in the game that length of time while
not man on the Oskaloosa squad has
played the game more than two years.
Lichtenheld was a star at the guard
position and made most of Oskaloosas
points. Fairall at center was good
and showed above his opponent, Car.
ney of Grinnell
The line up of the two teams was

THE MIGHTY MISSOURI


The Globe Democrat, one of the
strongest and most reliable papers
i'm St. Louis, Mo-, coddlcs the
socalled ''crratic' Missouri river
as follows. If all-or somc-of
Forest City's people don't live to
see the consummation of the
idea mentioned, it will be, to
large extent, owing
to the fact that the govern
mcnt at Washington is slower and
mor stubborn than the provcrbial
mule. But we fancy the Amcri-
can people will not always endure
so compIaccnt1y That kind Of It
government.
We clip the quotation from the
Capa Is. d. Hustler:
GA plan to pillow up the bed of
the Missouri river i'm shallow
places is not rs surprising as it
sounds when the details of the pro-
iect are examined. The sugges-
ton is to fit up Il steam craft with
machinery to loosen the bed of the
river where the water is shoal, and
SO allow the current to scour a
greater depth. This method may
be called Il variation of dredging.
but the principle to some extent
has been applied at the mouth of
the Mississippi, where there is nov
a permanent channel ofover thirty
feet. A giant river like the Mis-
souri,, which has been nayigated
for $500 miles, may have peculiar
tiles, but to look upon them us ia
tai is absurd. Such a stream is
sure to have the virtue of its de-
fects. What is called its excess of
power in erosion may be applied
to other uses than eating away its
banks and transferring real estate
from one state to another.
"No attempt of real consequence
to improve the Missouri has ever
been undertaken. Most of the
appropriations have been made of
the piecemeal sort and often rep
resented nothing more than a favor
to some particular district whose
vote in Congress is wanted to
assist in a distribution of govern
ment cash, without securing in re-
turn any adequate Improvement of
the waterway. The Missouri
needs a thoro engineering exami-
nation in the light of modern sci
ence for the betterment of chan
nels. 1t ought to he treated COM
prehensively, on its great merits,
and not viewed as a freak or un-
tameable savage. Those who
deride and disparage it will BE
put out of business in Congress
and elsewhere"
