Question-Two Steam boat Men

That the Des Moines river is nav
igable stream under control of the
government is the information re-
ceived by two local fishermen from the
war department at Washington, ac-
cording to Captain Ed Thomas. The
question was brought up some time
ago when one of the fishermen was
threatened with arrest if he landed
his boat along the shore, and the other
was notified that he would be taken
In custody. if he took any fish out OF
the stream. AS the information comes
from reliable source and is probably
true, boats of certain class must pay
a government tax and be provided
with safety appliances.
Want to Operate Boats.
Captain Thomas in a letter states
that Captains Charles Gerber and
Frank Wilds, two veteran rivermen
and pilots have made propositions to
the Ottumwa Commercial association
to operate fleet of boats on the river
providing they get the freight Further
more he writes that Captain Gerber
and a, party of Burlington river en-
thusiasts, among them Editor Murphy
of the Burlington Post, will make a
trip to Ottumwa in one of Captain
Gerber's boats, starting from Burling-
ton and entering the Des Moines at

Mr. Hill put his finger squarely on

turn them out, there would be no in

that the price of most farm products

them might reasonably be expected to
