CITY PARK.

The question Of enlarging City park
when the new federal building is com.
pleted was discussed by the city coun.
Gil the other evening. 1t was suggested
that there will be no public need for
the circular driveway at the east side
of the park when the federal building
is occupied as there will be entrances
to the building on Third and Fourth
streets that could be utilized by people
with vehicles, leaving the Court street
entrance for pedestrians and permit
ting the extension of the park to the
curb on the east side of the Court
street walk.
1t has been suggested that If the
park is extended to take in the east
half Of the circular roadway, it should
take in the west half as well, other.
wise it would make the park appear
disproportionate. This plan comtem,
plates extending the park on the west
side to the sidewalk curb fronting the
library and the LOOMS residence and
on the east side to the curb line of the
walk fronting the federal building and
grounds. This would necessitate build.
ing a roadway through the center OF
the park, instead of at both sides as
at present.
Attention has been attracted to these
plans suggested by the realization that
| the completion of the federal building
will give Ottumwa the prettiest public
lpark in the state. With the splendie

THIS NEEDS REFORM.

One of the reforms that the house
of representatives will be asked to
bring about at it's next session Is one
that directly affects that body. This
Is the reform Of the Congressional
Record. Congressman Murdoch Of
Kansas asks for the adoption of some
marks that shall distinguish between
the speeches actually delivered In
congress and those that were not de-
livered, but for which members secur.
ed "leave to print" Another thing
that Mr.. Murdoch would like indicated
in the Record. is where leave to ex-
tend" has been granted which amounts
to about the same thing as 'leave to
print" The congressman will have
the floor for a few minutes and the
Record will come out with speech
that would require several hours in its
delivery. Congressman Murdoch holds
that when these bogus speeches are
printed with absolutely nothing to
show that they are bogus it Is bad
enough, but when they are abundant
ly sprinkled with applause" and
Laughter" we are in the domain OF
vulgar falsehood cleverly designed to
deceive those who have no means of
knowing the facts"

Dear Editor:
Please allow me little space in
your paper to defend our old State
Road. / will not try to give any his
tory of it, for the road Is so old 1t has
almost passed into tradition. do not
see how the officials Of the Blue Grass
road or the official guide could very
well ignore it and go from Abba to
Charlton over any other.
II the Melrose boosters had taken
President Long on the State road
when it was so very muddy last spring
they could have travelled in their
autos without any trouble. The men
on the State road didn't attend any
meeting at Osceola, but they did at
Russell. Don't you remember, Mr..
Booster, when the Melrose autos all
came to Russell on the State road
When their committee was appointed
not one of our men was given place
every one from Melrose.
AS far as money and work are con-
earned the people Of this road have

the same right, and claim 1t, as on

the same right, and claim 1t, as on
any other road. ;,
Now, Mr.. Booster. am not pupil
Of Blackstone, but would like TO ASK
the tax payers of Monroe and Lucas
counties II taxes are not high enough
already without more road and bridge
tax. and I hear the Monroe county
taxes are to be raised again next year.
On the state road every one has to
60 down in his pocket and divvy up
to Uncle Sam.
Probably it is something new Tor
those boosters to do any work on
their road, and 1t appears good 10
them. but we have no short cuts ana
are accustomed to working the ROADS
and pay no attention to it, feeling sure
we have the best road in Iowa.
When Messrs. Long, Nimocks ana
Hubner went over the Russell boule'
ward they were just in approaching
the work which had been done on our
road, and is still being done.
The people on the road running
parallel with the Blue Grass road do
not get spasmodic notions and Try 70
twist their road around every tree OF
through pastures. They put their WORK
where It Is needed and are experts
with the pillow, grader and drag.
No be honest in your convictions
Mr.. Booster. Be just and give us the
benefit Of fair answer. Do you know
of any reason under the sun why the
Blue Grass road shouldn't be located
on the State road? You say you don't
want the Blue Grass road. We do, OF
a. good road with the traffic on It and
we have that, and as for the markings
on the guide. they will be O. X.
Now when you feel your angry pas
sions rising, Just run out your auto
load in your "gude woman" children
and self and cool off your tires and
temper by taking spin on the good
old state survey.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Dubuque Telegraph Herald-Water-

tentions as one of the leading and most
prosperous cities OF Iowa. union
depot is suggested. In particular the
Illinois Central is censured for main
tanning station OF such modest size
in city Of such present Importance
and grand possibilities. The town is
ungratcful to the Illinois Central,
which made it by moving its shops to
that city from Dubuque years ago. AS
employers of labor they are worth a
township full Of passenger stations. A
union station serves public convenience
and should be acceptable everywhere,
but it is not a thing on which the town
is entitled to insist.

'IOWA'S WATERWAYS.

mat the government attaches some
Importance to the preliminary investi-
cations made along the Des MONIES
and other Iowa rivers by federal en-
gineers is indicated In q report deal
ing with this work Just issued by the
United States geological survey. The
report gives proof that the govern
ment has not abandoned its investiga-
tion looking to the improvement OF
interior Iowa streams, but Is delaying
action on the reports of preliminary
Investigations until actual records of
river discharge are complied from
records taken at the Iowa gaging sta.
tons. The geological survey bulletin
dealing with the work done In Iowa
says:
The Iowa geological survey. under
the dictatorship Of George F. Kay, OF
Iowa City, has recently entered into
cooperation with the United States
geological survey for the purpose OF
studying the flow Of the more import
ant rivers in the state. Prior to 1906
a number of stations were maintained
by the federal survey, but with one
exception they were discontinued In
that year for lack Of funds. Within
the past year or two the possibilities
of developing water power have arous
ed interest in Iowa and the state sur.
vey has been DESTROYS of preparing a
report on this subject. Preliminary
Investigations, however, showed the
need for actual records Of river dis
charge before q definite report could
be made and so this has been post.
poned for some time pending the com.
pilation Of stream-flow data. Gaging
stations have been established on Iowa
river near Iowa Falls. Des Moines
river near Fort Dodge and at Keosau'
qua, Cedar river at Cedar Rapids, and
Wapsipinicon river at Stone City. The
last three stations were originally
established by the United States geo.
logical survey prior to 1906 and rec.
ords Of varying length are available
for them. The records for the Cedar
and Wapsipinicon have been continued
uninterruptedly since 1908.
The records Of the Iowa rivers will
be of value not only in planning for
the utilization of water power but
also in devising measures for prevent
ing floods. The river valleys are sub
ject to severe overflow. The subject
OF the pollution Of the streams by
sewage is also becoming Increasingly
important and in this connection the
low water records are valuable in in
dicating the allowable degree of such
pollution.
In late months there has not been
much said concerning the subject OF
river improvement in Iowa, but this
has not been due to lack of interest
In the subject. The agitation stirred
up in Iowa over the question Of river
improvement induced the state and
federal authorities to make thorough
investigation Of the resources and pos
sibilities of the Iowa rivers. When q
report is given on these findings and
recommendations are made by the gov
eminent engineers the Iowa river
boosters may be depended upon to get
busy and form strenuous campaign
In behalf of river improvement.
