EDITOR sTREETER RECALLS THE
Fss TIME WHEN STEAMERS. IN
n PLENTY FLOWED THE BIG
MUDDY AND HOPES TO SEE
THEM AGAIN

Emmons County Record: A big in
dustrial function is being held in Bis.
marck this week. It was gotten I'D
by Commissioner GllDreath and Gov
ernor Burke, and is in line with sind
lar gatherings that have been held
within the past few months. The
writer lived on the Missouri river.
ABOUT midway between Kansas City
and st. Joseph, when he was a boy,
and scarcely day passed that one or
more steamers could not be seen pass
ing up OR down on the Big Muddy.
The river was just as shaggy and full
OF sandbars then as now; but rail-
roads were few, and freight and pas
sengers must of necessity be carried
by steamboat. The bad natural con.
dition of the river caused steamboat
traffic to give way as soon as the rail-
roads were built. But the fact that
railroads even those that parallel
the river-are doing the bulk of the
carrying trade, does not alter the fact
that water transportation is much
cheaper than railroad carriage. where
the streams are deep enough and safe
enough for boats Of fair sige and for
barges towed by the boats. Even as
great an authority n railroad traffic
as James ]. Hill asserts that the rail-
roads are practically swamped with
business, and that the only remedy
lies in the improvement of the water
routes by the government. 1t may
not be many years .until the great
steamboat traffic Of thirty-five years
ago will again be duplicated or en-.
larged on the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers. Commissit ner Gilbreath
and Governor Burke deserve much
credit for the interest they are mani.
Testing in this matter OF such tremen-
dous moment to the people of the
New Northwest.

irrigation
BY Frank Siuons

Irrigation
The land along the Missouri river
between Washburn and Wogansport
has been surveyed for irrigation.
Well, Mr.. Farmer, what are you go
ing to do about it?
r. There are several millions of money
at your disposal in the strong box at
Washington for irrigating your home.
There is no end to the fertility of our
soil. All we want is water.
More moisture: goes down the great
Missouri river during the month OF
June and July, just the time we need
| it the most, than all the rest of the
year put together.
There is no better location for irri.
cation than our bottom and bench
lands on both sides Of the river.
| We have an abundance of cheap
coal cropping out of the bluffs on both
sides of the river right where we
want it, to pump the water up where
it can be used.
Don't be foolish and not use this
wealth. Some one will get it away
from you if you don't take action al
once.
Our great rebellion was not the rea
cause Of the war. To free the slaves
was an excuse to fight; their freedom
could have been purchased for less
money.
Uncle Sam was rich. Some selfsf
people wanted some of 1.-THE money
They got it. That was the seed from
which our millionaires grew. The
roots of our gigantic trusts, which

triotism, our nation. Before The
mighty power OF money every posi-
ton goes down, excepting the tremen
dous will power and tenacity of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
