II shall not discuss here the ques-
ton of the necessity for the improve
ment of our inland waterways. 1t has
been made a definite part Of public
policy and take its advisability to be
admitted. The question then is how
such improvement may be made, in
order that the present generation may
have some share in it's benefits; and
it seems to me. after having had
something to do with the legislation
on this subject for several years, that
there is but one practical way to &C
complish this result. and that is by
the issue of bonds. AS a general pro-
position, I should be lOath to favor
bond issues for public improvements,
and should only do SO where I was
convinced that the Improvement was
not only for the interests of the peo-
pie at large, but also benefit to
posterity for all time to come.
should also consider it a necessary in
cident that the project should be one
complete and concrete whole, like the
building of the Panama Canal or the
improvement Of great navigable riv
err throughout it's entire length. al
least that part of it which is suitable
for traffic. In this category I place
for instance, the improvement of the
Ohio river. The government is com
mitted to the policy of improving il
SO that there shall be depth of al
least nine feet in the channel at al
seasons of the year. Until every dam
necessary to the accomplishment Of
this has been completed. nothing in
fact has been accomplished; and al
the present rate of expenditure the
last dam could not be completed fol
probably fifty years to come. Under
all the circumstances, then, l am IL
favor of comprehensive plan for the
improvement of our great inland wat
erways, and of an issue of bonds fol
this purpose.

mated loss in round numbers being
Al, 100000 bushels.
To a considerable extent this is Off
set by a larger acreage and a greater
yield of spring wheat which brings
the total indicated crop of wheat up to
500. 000, 900 bushels, as compared with
664, 900, 900 bushels at the same time
in 1908. Some important interests in
the trade figure that the consumptive
demand has grown enough to absorb
this difference and that before the en-
tire crop is harvested We will run into
period of actual shortages rather
than a surplus. It Is also figured
that foreign requirements easily will
take all wheat which is not needed
for domestic purposes as crop condi-
tons are generally understood to be
unsatisfactory in most of the old
world grain raising districts.

ponding month last year. The condi.
ton of spring wheat shows a loss OF
2.5 points as compared with that OF

improvement of 33 points over July

and as crop conditions are considered
almost ideal at the present time, and
barring accident there is now a gen
eral feeling that bountiful supplies
will be realized
An important feature of the report
was the estimate showing the amount
OF wheat left in farmers hands to be
a trifle more than 100000 bushels

PUBLIC MEN ENDORSE
THE PROPOSED MOVE
One of the Staunchest Sup
porters of the Project Is
Congressman Nick Long,
worth Of Cincinnati.

Washington. D. c., July 10.-There
is growing sentiment in this country
for waterway bond issue, the money
to be used for the improvement of
the waterways of the United States.
Evidence that the subject is rapidly
gaining Roadway Is found in the pub
lie utterances OF ex-President Roose-
welt, President Taft. Secretary Knox,
on this subject coupled with the en-
dorsement of such an issue for inter-
nal waterway improvements on the
part of many of the leading men in
political, professional and business
life. Representative Nicholas Long
worth, Of the First Ohio district. has
become an ardent supporter of the
bond proposition and. like his distin-
guished father-in-law, Col. Roosevelt,
doesn't hesitate to outline where he
stands on the great question looking
to the protection of our waters and
our forests.
Of First Magnitude.
"A question of the first magnitude,
which will engage the attention of
congress as soon as the tariff is settl-
ed, will be the question of the conser-
walton of our natural resources and
the improvement of our inland water
ways" said Mr.. Longworth today.
Il am considering these two PROPOSE
tons as one because, to my mind,
they are inevitably linked together.
Especially is this true of the water
supply and the timber supply. 1t is
part Of the experience OF the world
that the two go hand in hand. and
the destruction of the timber has in
variably reflected itself in diminu-

bodies of water, so that they have be-

that unless more comprehensive

OF our inland waterways, it will be
many decades before any substantial
result will be accomplished.

Women in Police Court

Two girls, giving the name OF
Helen and Lucille, who blew in here
week ago from Cheyenne and have
since been harbored at the old Bar
nun House, were taken into police
court Monday and sentenced to
twenty days in Jail as a reminder
that there is wide contrast be-
tween the morals of Cheyenne and
Greeley.
This makes five damsels that the
officers have jailed in the past week,
all of whom were strangers who
dropped in here looking for haven.
There are now some respectable
people who reside in portions of the
Earnum House and these complained
to the police who found conditions
worse than reported. The officers
say that the next complaint of this
kind will cause the arrest of the per.
son who rents the house or rooms te
