Mr.. Montague submitted an eNhRus.

capitol. and estimates that had the

20 to 50 per cent. The state paid the
Pennsylvania Construction company
n little more than s.. 0OO. 900 for these
furnishings
From what can be gathered the com

advocating the punishment of every
man who IN any way profited Illegally

ny odd and curious missives from the
citizens throughout the country. One
OF which reached him this week was
addressed to "uncle joe" care of "Un-
Gle SAM" Washington, d. c., The pos
tai authorities had no difficulty In as
certaining for whom this Letter was In
tended. When 1t was opened by Co.
Busbey Speaker Cannon's private Sec
rotary, 1t proved to be from Columbus,
O., but the writer failed to attach his
signature. The letter read:
Dear Uncle joe"
MY minor left toe fairly aches
with a desire that you will use your
big influence to curb both trusts and
trustees while saving as much time
and money as you can during this
short session May your arm be both
heightened and strengthened as the
session shortens. Please give us few
er battleships and railroad wrecks,
small salaries and mileage bills. brief
er Congressional Records, more postaf
routes, parcels post and one cent let

on the Brownsville affair, and you will
fame as you deserve, not only in 1lli-
nois but in Ohio"

In n report issued this week by the
Geological Survey attention Is called
to the great damage done by the shift
Ing channel Of the Missouri River.
The report says
"The channels have shifted so rap
idly In late years, that, whereas tlf-
teen years ago, steamboats, piled regu-
ularly as far up river ns Omaha, there
IL now no regular line above Kansas
City, At many points the channel has
shifted In these fifteen years over n
mile OF ground. and where once were
fertile farms are now only brushy
gravel banks and worthless sand bars
This report directly supports the
contention Of the National River and
Harbors Congress that the improve
mcnt of rivers not only will permit Of
their carrying on tnelr waters fleets
Of boats bearing the commerce OF the
country but II will also prevent In
large measure the great damage done
each year by floods and freshets
with the rivers improved by deeper
channels to provide for all stages OF
water, their enormous loss to the
country at large each year would be
obvIatcd, while nj the same time the
gain made by the stimulation to com
merce would be vast The National
Rivers and Harbors Congress Is seek"
Ing TO have the government devote $780,
OOO,O a year to this work, and 1t Is
endoavorlng to make Its appeal the
more powerful by adding to Its mem
bership. which now includes shippers
business organizations and individuals
,r every state In the Union. To this
end, Captain J. r. Ellison, secretary
.of the organization, which has Its
ncadouarters in Cincinnati, has issued
a general appeal to every one Interest,"
I'D to Join the movement. The Nation-

TO THE FARMERS.

It seems l. - some one, or some
reason and without any knowledge
OF the law, as put out the report in
the county that farmers are not al
lowed to sell their produce, either
fruits, vegetables or fresh meats
within the city. l would like to say
that there is no such State law or
city ordinance.
You farmers bring your produce
in, We need IL.
l write this because l have had
more than a score of inquiries about
such a law j. B. JOHNSON,
Mayor.
