Rivers Rapid Formation Of

Clinton, Jan. Stalk about the
pranks of the Missouri river" said an
old Clinton river man who has spent
half a century on the banks of. the
Mississippi and is familiar with all Of
its moods, "the muddy stream is not
in it with the old MISSISSIPPI altho it
does take shoot off at tangent oc-
casionally to disturb the geography Of
Its bordering states. and creates new
farms while it submerges old ones.
'The Mississippi does not run out
OF it's banks, seeking new channels.
like its continent on the west. But
nevertheless there is a constant change
going on in the rivers topography,
which finds its most remarkable mani
festation in the elimination of islands
which perhaps date back to the early
ages, and the forming of new bars and
islands, which grow from a tiny source,
III the lifetime of man, to islands,
OF several acres In extent, covered with
a dense overgrowth of the willows
which flourish so luxuriantly along the
upper Mississippi.
AN example of the former and an
other of the latter 1 can recall. A
mile below the Clinton high bridge is
an island of considerable size. densely
grown with willows. can remember
when there was no island there.
Thirty years ago gigantic tree trunk,
floating with the current, found
lodgment against an obstruction on
the rivers bottom. The tree was held
securely, and by and by the rushing
current deposited sediment around 1t,
completely burying it in sand. mud
and fiotsam. In a few years a bar of
considerable extent marked the spot.
Today the deposit of soil and sediment
from the river gives nourishment to
the Mississippi willow, which never
fails to spring up where 1t has the
slightest excuse.

now exists few miles above Clinton.
has entirely disappeared. The island
was evidently very old. for it was COW
cred with q grove of the deciduous
trees common to this section. Early
one spring. when the ice was going
out, portion of the islands bank
commenced to wash into the river. A
swift current, which was cleft by the
upper point of the island. had so I'M
dermined it that once it commenced to
succumb, it's destruction was a mat
ter Of only a few years, and today not
trace of 1t remains.
"The rapid formation of bars Is
serious problem to the navigators, and
one with which the government will
have to reckon when the proposed
great Improvements are made in the
upper river, calculated to restore the
"palmy river days" the old navigat-
ors had feared were gone forever, and
which the residents Of the Mississippi
valley believe, will recur with the six
foot channel from st. Paul to Cairo"
