OTHER GREAT PR JECT5
Considers Building of Levses, Recla-
NATION Of Inundated Lands, Ben
Gifts to Be Secured From Wa
terway Development, Etc,

The officers of the Missouri Water
way Commission have for the past
two weeks been busy correcting a
false impression concerning their
work, which seems to be more or less
prevalent. Since the discussion of
the water law, and the continuance Of
the life Of the commission has become
one Of increasing interest, the mem
bers Of the commission have discov-
cred that many people think the
work of the body is merely to aid
the projects of navigating the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. This,
while among the subjects to be in
vestigated, is far from being the most
important branch of the commissions
work.
The commission was created by an
act Of the last Legislature, which de-
fines the duties Of the commission in
the following language: "The duties
Of this commission shall be to in
vestigate the various problems asso-
ciated with the n~avigable waterways
of the state and the reclamation Of
lands subject to overflow or inunda-
ton; the construction of practical and
substantial levees: the retaining OF
lands now subject to inundation Of
rivers; the increase from the bene-
fits to be derived from these pro-
posed developed navigable waterways
and reclamation of lands subject to
overflow and inundatlon, and such
other statistics and data as will intel
ligently enable the general assembly
to properly formulate and devise
means and ways whereby legislative
enactment may be had to carry out
and put into effect the benefits to
be derived by the creation of the
navigable waterways, etc"
With the language of the act in
mind, the commission, under the di.
rection of its consulting engineer, Mr..
NJ. L. Holman, divided its work into
four heads, being Drainage, Naviga-
tion, Water Power and Water Supply,
and the report of the commission has
conformed to this scheme.
The state press has shown itself to
be actively In favor Of the work OF
the commission, and has fastened to
lend its aid in correcting any mis-
taken idea concerning 1t.

Awakening Of Interest.

The officers Of the Missouri Water.

awakening OF interest has taken place
during the past year in the later
power sites Of the state. Inquiries
r being made by people with cap
ital to invest and by engineers and
surveyors from all parts of the coun-
try for information as to the location
of prospective sites. This informa-
ton, however, is being withheld by
the commission until the submission

is anticipated,
A great number of water mills Of
various kinds were built in this state
many years ago, but they have since
been abandoned. The commission has
records of one hundred and twenty

this number a few were r~elinquished
because of the failure of the streams,
but most of them because of a change
II Industrial conditions. Grist and
saw mills are no longer necessary in
even isolated communities, it being
far easier for the farmer to sell his
grain and buy his flour or to sell his
timber and buy his lumber.
With the greater development OF
electrical appliances Of recent years,
especially the transmitting apparatus,
it has become a simple matter to
have the source of power and the
point of consumption widely sepa-
ated, hense there is no need to have
a populous community either at or
neal the precise site of the water
power to make the plant profitable.
The awakening of interest, therefore,
is due to the fact that 1t has been
discovered that Missouri abounds in
water power sites, many Of which are
either approximately or reasonably
close to powel-needing communities.
It is thought the state legislature will
soon take steps both to encourage
and regulate the use of the abundant
water power now idle in this state.
