MEAN TEMPERATURE

Contrast with Latter Part Of March
However, Was Quite Note
worthy

The weekly weather bulletin sum-
mary for the week ending April s, fol-
lows:
The mean temperature during the
week ending April s was nearly noEs
NAL, but on account of the warm wealth
er obtaining the latter part of March,
when the daily excess OF temperature
averaged about 30 degrees, the contrast
was quite marked. The week opened
cold with minima ranging from IA de-
grees in the extreme north TO % de-
grees in the southern tier of counties.
On account of the forward state of the
season, the frequent occurrence of frost
was injurious in many localities. The
/ highest temperatures were registered
on the 4th, the maXima ranging from
i67 degrees in the north TO IS in the
south
Precipitation mostly of light measure
ments, was well distributed. The soil
generally, is i'll good condition, much
moisture being conserved from thu
heavy rainfalls the latter part of March

NOT A TOY CANAL
Captain Bryson Tells of Advan-
taoe Hennepin VIII
Bring.
FREIGHT RATES ARE REDUCED
Barges Carrying 900 Tons Can be Run
and Trip from Chicago Made
in Three Days.

Captain Lon Bryson of Davenport 1T
that city Monday night told of the ben
eft that the Hennepin canal will be
to this community. 1t will not be a
toy canal" as it has been character
lied, said the captain, but real factor
in determining freight rates between
here and Chicago.
The completion of the feeder this
year, he said, will open up the canal
for use as far as LaSalle, from where
the Improvement of the Illinois river
to the mouth of the drainage canal will
soon open the route clear through to
Chicago.
That the locks of the canal have
been made too small has been a gen
eral understanding, and Captain Bry-
son said the committees which argued
for and secured the appropriation to
complete the canal had had this to face
| in Washington, where the Hennepin
had been referred to as toy canal
Trip in Three Days.
Major Richie of Rock Island however
furnished the committee with figures &c
the effect that the locks were large
enough for bargeS bearing 500 tons Of
| freight and that tug and three barges
could be locked through each lock in
10 minutes. making a total delay in the
trip from Chicago of only 30 hours. and
permitting the trip to be made i'll three
days.
Using 600 tons to the barge as 4
basis for estimate. said Captain Bry
son, we find that freight can then be
brought from Chicago to the Missis
sippi at 80 cents ton. against a pres
ent charge of S1.30 for such commo
ditieS as hard coal. and higher rat
for salt and other bulky shipments.
/ An investment of $4,000 in a tug
and three barges ought to he one u
the best investments that could bt
made. for the handling of freight unde
these circumstances, said Captain Bry
son. but regardless of whether mucl
/ freight was moved on the canal or not
its great advantage to the whole ives
would be that it would fix the freigh
rate for all that does come from lax
to river, by rail or by canal.
