Speaking of the vicious AL

"This law will mean the tur-

cit will mean the making of
good times and bad times of
'bull markets and bear mar
kets according to the pleasure
of Rogers and Rockefeller in the
National City bank and ]. P.
Morgan in the National Bank
of Commerce.
cit will mean the slow and
certain movements of contrac-
ton and imitation by the natu-
raj laws of commerce, but sharp
changes forced at will by the
master gamblers
"It will mean the gift to the
chief enemies of the nation of
the power to issue or retire half
a billion of dollars, exciting
speculation or compelling dis
aster according to whatever
best suits their betting book.
"What the effct will be upon
the coming election we do not
know. We do not know what
measure of punishment a long,
suffering people will inflict upon
their betrayers.

is being done which will effect

ploye in America, every banker,

be in the condition of a conva-
lescent to whom drugs that are

"There will be a BOOM fe-

BOYER DREDGE
ISON A BAR
Big Machine Starts Down
Stream Under Tow of
Launches, But Balks


Hard and fast upon a sand
bar in the Missouri river below
Florence, the big dredge used
by the Pollard Campbell Dredg-
ing company to excavate the
Boyer cutoff at Missouri Valley
now sticks and will not be
budged. How it got there in
wolves a story of peril and of
romance.
Harold Reynolds and Henry
Dreeson, owners of gasoline
launches at Florence, Neb., of
fered their services to R. C.
Pollard to drag the big machine
down the river to Omaha where
it was to be dismantled and
shipped away by rail. At
tached to the dredge was a
houseboat in which the men
employed in the dredging of
the Boyer slept and ate their
meals. The current of the
river was to be used as pro-
polling power and the launches
were to guide the craft clear of
the bars and eddies.
With the towlines attached,
the ponderous machine started
down stream. All went we'll
until the houseboat parted its
cable and went adrift. In the
houseboat was a woman who
had been doing the housekeep-
ing and cooking for the dredg-
ers. Her screams at finding
the boat drifting away caused
Mr.. Reynolds to go to her as
sistance in a boat. While he
was bringing her to shore, a
whirlpool caught the dredge
and it went aground. Shortly
afterward the houseboat went
down in one fathom of water.
The government snag boat
Mel herson is expected up the
river from Kansas City soon.
and possibly it will be called
upon to float the dredge. Mr..
Reynolds has been informed
that the government at Wash
Aington will send a man at the
rate of $500 per day if the COM
pany wishes to go to that ex-
pense. The officials of the COM
pany have not decided what to
do. as the dredging machinery is
out of commission and cannot be
easily rugged up to dig out from
the bar Nonpareil.
