Engineers Begin Seasons OPP.
erations on Dyke Above
Moline Lock.
WILL DEEPEN THE CHANNEL
Plans Looking to Some Method OF
Raising Water Level Instead of
Dredging Are Considered.

Work was begun today on the Mo
line pool under the direction of the
United States engineers, and it is ex-
pected that during the season APP
proximately 100000 will be spent in
the pool in further improving the
channel that puts Moline on the Mis-
sissippi, in fact as well as in theory.
For the present the only work will be
the trimming up of the dyke, material
for which was placed on the scene
last year, just above the lock.
Last fall new survey of the pool
was made, and during the winter the
engineers were engaged in making a
new map and charting the soundings.
This map shows the progress of the
work of last season, and it also shows
to be done before the channel is
brought to the G-foot standard. The
engineers are now considering sew
eral plans for accomplishing the deep.
ening OF the channel.
Plans Got Definite.
AS yet no decision has been reach
ed, but the idea that seems to be IA
vored is to adopt some method where
by the water in the pool will be rails
ed, rather than attempt to increase the
channel by doing extensive dredging.
There are places where the channel
is less than two feet deep, and in
some spots the bottom sticks up
above the surface in low water. 1t
would be big undertaking to drcdge
the pool, and it seems more than like
