WOULD RELIEVE
SOUTHERN FLOODS
HOUGHLUND OF ELDON FoRMU.
LATES PLAN TO PREVENT
MUCH DAMAGE BY WATER.

Eldon, May III. E. Houghlund of
this city has formulated a plan for the
permanent relief of all the country
south Of Vicksburg, Miss. He drew up
a plan and submitted it through Champ
Clark to the rivers and harbors COM
mittee, whereby the excess waters
would be diverted from the Mississippi
river by cutting canal south Of
Vicksburg in southeasterly direction
to Lake Ponchetrain on the Gulf Of
Mexico. 1t would divert back rivers
which runs in the Mississippi just
south of Vicksburg and taking in all
the small streams on it's course. 1t
would enhance the district through
which it would run and carry the eX.
cess off, thereby relieving the river
of any such floods as it is now suffer
ing. The county is nearly level and
the cost would not be more than the
raising of the levies. Thousands of
acres are now under water and thou
sands of people who are now homeless
in the southern section. Champ Clark
recommended the committee to in
vest!gate the plan and the chairman
of the committee has replied that it
will be done. Mr.. Houghlund Travelled
all over that country during the war
and believes his plan will be one that
will do the work. BY looking at the
map one will see that it is feasible.
The New Orleans Daily States pub
lished his plan and all the papers Of
that section have taken it up and will
aid it in every way possible.

To the Republican Voters of Wapello
County: .....
Senator John r. Clarkson of Mon
roe county introduced in the senate at
the last session of the general assem-
bly, a bill known as the Clarkson min
ing bill which was revision of the
mining laws of the state. It was one of
the longest bills passed by the legis-
lature consisting Of fifty-two sections
and covering fifteen pages of the ses-
sion laws.
1t was one of the most important
because it affected on one side the
working conditions of the $4,000 min
ers of Iowa and on the other side the
immense investments Of the mine
owners and operators.
After passing the senate, this bill
came over to the house and was re-
ferred to the committee on mines and
mining. At hearing before this COM
mittee it was referred to special
committee of four of which l was
chairman. ~ 49,
AS chairman of the special commit
tee l arranged for an extended near
ing on the bill and invited the repre-
sentatives of the Mine Operators as

It was taken up section by section
many points. ,a..,' sys-
Where the interested parties were
unable to agree, each side stated their
views, stenographic notes We're taken
and the disputed points were adjusted
later by the special committee.
After the work of this special COM
mittee was completed the bill was
passed by the house with very slight
amendment, conquered in by the SEN
ate, signed by the governor and is
nov part of our law. Vs.,
| submit below letter received
from Sen. Clarkson, author of the bill
~. Frank Shane.
Senate Chamber, April II, 1911.
My Dear Mr.. Shane:
I wish to express tolyou my appre-
citation of Your valuable service rem
aereG the miners OF Iowa IN your I'M
partial efforts for and in behalf Of SEN
ate file No. 282 commonly known as
the mining bill which had the honor
and pleasure of introducing IN the sen.
ate. The ease with which you investi-
gated the merits of the measure while
pending before and considered by the
house committee on mines and mining
and your able presentation thereof
when placed upon final passage Will
certai--ly entitle you to favorable con-
sideration by the employer and en-
ployes gagged in the mining industry
Of this state. I beg to say that you
will never regret having expended
time and energy on the bill which will
now become the law of this state
when signed by the governor, as
firmly believe 1t will be the means OF
conserving life and time of those en-
gagged in the hazardous employment
of mining coal. This bill could not
have become a law Of this state but
for the untiring efforts OF yourself and
others in the house when assailed by
those who doubtless believed the
measure as mischeivous but whom !
am satisfied will be convinced they
were in error when the law becomes
operative and in force few months.
The measure Is reasonable exercise
of the public power OF the state to
prevent injury to employees IN the
mines, and it is with pleasure that !
take the opportunity this early to
thank you for the interest taken when
the bill was in need of friends to as
sure it's passage.
Very truly yours,
John T. Clarkson.

Herosim Shown by Mayor
On. of the remarkable things about
the great crowd in Burlington yester-
day was the fact that only two acct
dents were reported. The first was a
stroke OF real heroism shown by May
or Elder, of Keokuk, candidate for the
democratic nomination for congress
of the first district. At the risk of
his own life, Mayor Elder saved a
young child from injury and possibly
death. It happened on one of the busy
Burlington streets, when the little
child tried to evade an automobile and
preceded right in the path of an ap-
preaching street car. With great
presence of mind. Mayor Elder reach
ed out and grabbed the child, but the
car struck Mr.. Elder in the face, cut
ting a cash that bled considerably.
He continued on his way to the COL
iseum, however, after physician had
dressed his wounds.
IT, other accident happened at the
Delano hotel, where woman walk
ed into the elevator shaft and de-
seconded fifteen feet. She was not
seriously hurt.
Ottumwa Band Spoken Of
The Thursday evening edition of
the Burlington Gazette carried the
following story about the Fifty-fourth
regiment band
The Ottumwa people are so proud Of
their Fifty-fourth regiment band that
when they go away from home they
have telephone connecting their city
and the city in which the musical Or
ganlzation is entertaining. This morn
ing while the band was playing 1.-THE
Houn' Dawg" song, the favorite hymn
of Missouri ct al the various employees
of the Ottumwa Courier Office we're
fighting for possession Of the receiver
on their private telephone connecting
them with the Coliseum in this city,
in order that they might hear their
favorites play their favorite song.
Well. if that's the best band west of
the Mississippi river the Ottumwa
people realize It, and are deserving of
this fine musical organization. Their
presence has added most materially to
the success of the big convention.
