anyone who knows what or where the
difficulties are. Mr.. Meigs is having

showing the country along the river
and the towns where it will be possible
to obtain shelter for the night. These

zone of the common methods of

During one of my visits the other

preliminary survey and report on the
nayigabiity of the Des Moines river
Every one knows that in the COS the
Des Moiaes did not inconsiderable
business in steamboat transportation
The u. S. government even granted
a large tract of land to certain capital
lists for the purpose of building a
slack water navigation therein and
locks and dams were built at several
places which were used by the boats
I'M as far as Ottumwa. The advent
CT railroads and the popular enthus-
iasm for the new mode of transporta-
ton led to the abandonment of steam
boat freighting and when that was
done for a season the railroads fenc-
ed the river off with low bridges with
out draw spans so that good water
stage when alone the river is strict
ly speaking navigable, it is impossible
for any sort of large boat to make
the trip.
Were it not for the bridges the river
is as navigable in all probability as
It ever was when it did considerable
business. OF the several dams built
only one remains at the present time
situated at Ottumwa and still used
for water-power. The Hornet will have
to be portrayed around this obstacle
but elsewhere the stream for years un.
vexed by the keel of power craft will
probably be found in about the same
condition as in tie past.

MR.. D. A. TOMPKINS AGGRIEVED
He Says here was no Contest Be-
tween Himself and MIR. Parker
At Richmond.

Washington, June ID. A. Tomp-
kins, of Charlotte, is in Washington
and seems much aggrieved because Of
the stories sent out from Richmond
Tlast week to the effect that there had
been a contest at the cotton manufac-
turers' meeting, and that he had been
defeated for president by L. ". Par
ker, of Greenville.
The facts as they are obtainable
here appear to be as follows: There
was no contest. Tompkins is a past
president, and therefore. in so far as
t the presidency could commits the as
sociation to him, it has been commit
ted for seven or eight years. At least
his name was not mentioned as cam
dicate at the last convention, and Par
ker became president by sort Of
succession, he having been made vice
president a year ago, and there is a
sort of. rule of the association that
the vice president succeeds to the
presidency. There was not the slight
est debate between the two men. Mr..
'Tompkins had been invited to make
an address to the association upon the
subject of the tariff. This he did, and
his address was we'll received.
At the meeting Of the board of
governors subsequently held compli-
mentary resolution of approval of the
address was passed by the board and
recommended to be presented and
passed by the association. From the
board this resolution went to COM
mittee on resolutions which made two
reports. A majority report recon-
mending and approving all Of
what Mr.. Tompkins said in
his address ,exeepts only
the recommendation of a tariff COM
mission. Then there was minority
report recommending the whole Of
Mr.. Tompkins' address, including the
ltariff commission. When the resolu-
tion was read before the convention,
and these two reports were read, Mr..
Parker made motion that the minor
ity report be adopted, which was for
the recommendation of the speech,
and the recommendation of the whole
of it, including the tariff commission.
Mr.. Parker spoke at some length,
and his motion was unanimously car
ried.
