War Department Announces Office
Will Not Be Opened Here.
oMAHANs WILL BECOME ACTIVE
CommIssioner Guild says that to Get
Results ~ VIII Not Pay 20 De-
pend on Missouri River
Navigation Congress-.

The war department has communicated
70 the Commercial club its attitude in the
establishment of the office Of chief en-
rineer for the upper reach of the Missouri
river. Robert Shaw Oliver. assistant to
the secretary Of war. writes that the de-
partment cannot see fit. with the last ap-
propriations for Missouri river work. 20
establish an Independent office for an en-
gineer in charge In Omaha
when Il was announced that Major shulz
who has charge Of the Improvement work
on the entire river. would devote most OF
his time to the Improvement Of the stream
between Kansas CITY and st. Louis. II was
decided that the Omaha district would suf-
fer from lack Of supervisory attention.
As the river had been divided into two
reaches. one from st. Louis to Kansas
city and one from Kansas City to Sioux
City, the river improvement committee Of
the Commercial club decided that Omaha
was the logical point for the office Of the
engineer in charge of the upper reach
The question was taken up with Senators
Hitchcock and Brown and through them
with the War department.
Promote Popular Interest.
Despite this set back, however. the river
Improvement committee OF the club which
John l. McCague is chairman, plans to
promote popular interest In the situation
before the next session of congress. Meet
ings will be held and every effort be made
to interest the national representatives in
the necessity for the Improvement Of the
river between Omaha and Kapsas City
Despite the fact that the War department
has failed to lend its approval to the cable
and brush system OF bank protection.
the confidence of the committee in this
scheme is immutable. It's adoption again
will be urged This is a plan which Omaha
engineers have approved. II consists OF
anchoring brushes to the bank by cables
and in this way sand bars are formed and
banks are extended.
Referring to the Missouri River Naviga-
ton congress on which for two years
Omaha depended for the advancement Of
its interests in river work, Commissioner
]. M. Guild Of the Commercial club, says:
Omaha has been leaning on a reed II II
expects to get practical results from that
organization. The time has come for It
TO take steps in its own behalf"
The members of the river Improvement
committee in addition to Mr.. McCague
are J. L. Paxton, vice chairman; H. T.
Clarke. G. w. Craig, R. B. Howell, Stock
