For Improvements of Ohio River.
President Taft Speaks of
Our Own Particular. 4
PAUL LEWIS
Assistant Cashier

What is good word to Kentuckians
and:those across the river is what Presi-
dent. Taft has TO say about improving
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in his
message to Congress.
President Taft says as follows:
zone of the projects which answ er
the description have given is that of
introducing dams into the Ohio river
from Pittsburg to Cairo, so as to main
tain at all seasons of the year, by slack
water, depth Of 9 feet. Upward of
seven of these dams have already been
constructed and six are under coustruc-
ton, while the total required is fifty.
The remaining cost is known to be $685.
100000.
"What has been said of the Ohio river
is true in a less complete way of the
Improvements of the upper Mississippi
from ST Paul to St. Louis, to a constant
depth OF feet, and of the Missouri
from Kansas City to st. Louis, to a
constant depth of feet and from st.
Louis to Cairo of a depth of feet.
GAS these Improvements are being
made, and the traffic encouraged by
them shows itself of sufficient i'm
portance the improvement of the Miss
ssippi beyond Cairo down to the Gulf,
which is now going on with the main
tenance of depth Of 8 feet everywhere,
may Exchanged TO another and greater
depth if the necessity for it shall appear
TO arise out of the traffic which can be
delivered OH the river at lCairo. I
earnestly urge that the measures reA
commended be taken up and disposed of
promptly without awaiting the investi-
CATION which has been determined upon.

TAPS"


Tribute to Americas civil war veterans.
They are marching with hating step
A hating step and slow
And many in those blue clad ranks
Have hair as white as snow:
Their youth lies on the battlefields
OF forty years ago.
The faded, tattered flags they bear.
All torn by shot and shell,
Are sacred emblems of the dead
Who loved their country well.
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell.
Those serried ranks are thinning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the Tnusket bore
Where Grant and Sherman led.
Their sleep is sound and peaceful
In the bivouac Of the dead.
No more the reveille at dawn
Shall rouse them from their sleep;
No more shall wives and sisters mournG
No more shall mothers weep;
Their names upon the roll of fame
Times hand has craven deep.
And some lie on those hard fought fields
Where now the blue and gray
Clasp hands across the battle lines
Their blood has washed away
Where once the tide of battle flowed
Their chiIdren's children play.
The passing years speed swiftly.
And silence round them wraps.
And to their listening ears there comes
No sweeter song. perhaps,
Than when the battered bugle sounds
Again the old cali aps.
