to place products OF this state on
velopment and utilization of the natur-
al waterways of Iowa to produce a
cheaper mode of transportation so as
to place the products of this state on
the markets of the world were given
a great boost by S. A. Thompson, field
secretary of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, who was here on
invitation of the Iowa State Manu-
fa%cturers' association, and at a noon
day meeting at the Savery addressed
the business men representing all the
local booster organizations.
The development of the rivers OF
Iowa is of the greatest Importance to
Des Moines," he said. Nothing would
give this city greater advantage than
the use of a navigable stream, and l
believe the improvement of the Des
Moines river and the tributaries would
benefit Des Moines far more than a
half dozen cross-continent railroad
lines. The lowering of freight rates
multiplies the area from which trade
is drawn and with water competition
it is wonderful how low freight rates
become.
with a dependable Mississippi on
the east, a navigable Missouri on the
west and complete development of the
interior streams, such as the Cedar,
Des Moines and Iowa, this state would
AVE a future of which few could even
dream. 1t wuold place Des Moines
and Iowa in touch with every nation
of the world, and Iowa products could
be put in the ports of the old world
cheaper than they can nov be placed
on the markets OF New York. Some
day the time is coming when these
rivers will be under control, when
they will be navigable, and when that
time m the growth and advance
ment of the interior states will be
marvellous"
Mr.. Thompson declares that trans
p~ortation nulliies the tariff and that
the railroads benefit by the protective
tariff. One illustration he offered was
that the freight rates on a ton of
oranges from Italy to New York was
SO and the duty 500, making a total
OF $23 a ton. When the tariff was i'm
posed the railroad rate on a ton of
oranges from California to New York
was increased and now it is $23, MAX
ing it as cheap to import a car Of
Italian oranges and pay the duty as
it is TO buy in this country.

at Branchville Destroy
ed by Fire.

A dispatch from Branchville to
the Columbia Record says one of
the saddest deaths that has ever
occurred in the town Of Branchville
happened there on Sunday morning,
the 18th, at about 2 o'clock a. M,
when West Singleton, colored man
of about the age of 80 years, was
burned to death in the town guard
house.
Singleton was under the influence
of whiskey and was arrested on the
street for being drunk and disor-
derly. The arrest was made by the
regular town policeman, who COM
mitted the negro to the guard house,
because he could not furnish bond.
Nothing further was known of
the matter until the alarm of fire
was given. Nearly every man in
Branchville turned out to the fire,
but it was too late to render any
assistance to the poor dying negro,
who expired in a few minutes. The
guard house was wooden structure
and was completely destroyed.
