STATE MUST IMPROVE RIVERS.

Major Richie of the United States
army engineering corps calls the at
tention of Iowans to the fact that the
government cannot be expected to do
much toward improving the Iowa riv-
ers unless the state first does its part.
Speaking more particularly on the pro-
posed improvement Of the Des MONIES
river. he told the members OF the
Greater Des Moines committee that 10
insure q survey of the stream with
view to making it nayigable, the gov
eminent must first be guaranteed that
the state will secure the right Of way,
arrange for the disposal OF the water
power, pass suitable legislation for the
operation of steamship companies, ana
finally assure the government That the
river will be used. The government, he
said, cannot be expected to do any
thing toward making the river navig-
able except the physical work
Iowa must realize as other states
have realized, that it must make it's
local improvements at its own ex-
pense. The state of New York found
this out several years ago and 1t mas
been at work for several years past
improving it's waterways by state ap.
preparations. In 1903 the people OIL
New York state voted to expend from
the state treasury SOL, 900 to Ell
large her canals connecting the mar
Dor with the great lakes, and at the
recent general election the people ap-
proved another law under Wh1ch 81
100000 more will be expended to en-
large and improve the lateral canals.
Tn the last two years New York state
has expended $4,000 for surveys and
examinations looking to the develop
ment of the water powers OF the state
and this year the expenditure OF $5o,-
900 more for the same purpose was
voted by the legislature. There is
about 100000 horse power of water
power in that state running to waste
every year New York wants to mar
ness that power and make it usefui
for manufacturing interests. To do sc
will necessitate an expenditure IN the
near future of not less than $2O,OOO,00l
more. New York feels that it cannon
afford to wait for the general govern
ment to do these things for it and u
would not have the government do IL
because it wishes to control its owl
destiny. So New York is going aheac
with plans for appropriating the mon
ey and pushing the work.
There is valuable water power in the
Des Moines to be utilized. Major Riche
called attention to this. Iowa will ben
eft from the use of this power ane
Iowa will be expected to do It's par
toward securing it's utilization.
This question of making the low;
rivers navigable and the equally I'm
portant question of Strengthening TN
iowa rivers, should be taken up ser
iously by the legislature. When con
siderdng the Importance OF UTILIZING
tie rivers as freight carriers and har
Messing their water powers, the fac
should not be overlooked that b!
I Strengthening the rivers many thous
! ands of acres of land will be added t
Iowa's productive area. 1t will have t
be done some time, and now IS tn
time to begin. The members OF tn
legislature and prospective legislator
should begin at once to study out prat
tical plans.
