BOYER RIVER FURNISHES PROOF
OF HYDRAULIC LAW OF RE.
CENT DISCOVERY.
ONE SECTION DRAINED
At EXPENSE OF ANOTHER
High Waters in Wsstsrn Iowa Streams
Due Neither to Ice Gorsss Nor Back
Water From the Missouri-ssriss Of
Cut. Offs, to straishtsn Boyer, Re.
spensibIs For Flood Stage.

Special to Times Republican
Logan, April "A law of hydraulics
discovered and announced by the great
est and most experienced hydraulic en-
gineers of the nineteenth century, that
"A CUTOFF raises the surface Of the
river at the foot of the cut nearly as
much as it depresses it at the head,
and that the country above the cut is
therefore relieved from the floods only
at the expense Of the country below,
and that, moreover If a series Of cut
offs were to be made extending to the
mouth Of the river. the principle educed
shows that the heights OF the floods
would be regularly decreased from
point near midway of the series to the
upper end. and regularly increased from
the same point to the lower end" ac-
cording to observation, seems to be
verified on the Boyer river in Harrison
and Pottawattamie counties, at the
present time.
Beginning at the point where the
Boyer enters the Missouri river in
Rockford township in the northwest
part of Pottawattamie county, the Boy
er has been Strengthened thru Rock
ford township and then thru Harrison
into Crawford county: and. tho the
stream is out of its banks here and
there, at shcrt intervals along low
reaches Of the river north Of a midway
point where the Strengthening act has
been applied, yet below this midway
point. the stream is out Of its banks
continuously, and submerging the Boy
er valley to the Missouri river.
Advice from Missouri Valley is to
the effect that the impounding of the
flood waters on the lower reaches Of the
Boyer is neither attributable to the ice
gorges, nor to the Missouri river back
ing up the Boyer river channel, but to
the fact that the head waters Of the
Boyer run down much faster than they
escape into the Missouri river.
The Boyer river. like all other al
luvial rivers, has decreasing slope:
the upper reaches in Harrison county
have a slope to the mile over three
times that Of the lower reaches. In
the construction of the new river chan
mel. the channel capacity of the lower
section was not increased TO maintain
a uniform velocity by increased vol
ume Of water, hence the overflow on
the lower Boyer impounding of it's
waters and submerging the lands adj
jacent thereto, in the opinion Of those
who have given observation and study
to the present and past physical condi-
lions of the Boyer
In former flood. not only were the
adjacent lands oyerfloowed. but the
river channel capacity was reduced by
deposits, thereby necessitating the ex-
pendditure Of several thousands Of dol
lars In removing deposits along the
reaches Of overflow.
The Willow creek ditch In Harrison
county has decreasing slope. and in a
flood previous to the present one the
channel capacity on the upper reaches
was reported as increased while on the
lower reaches 1t was also officially re-
ported as materially decreased by
heavy deposits

WILD WEST SHOW

The 101 Ranch Real Wild West
Show is to be at Nashville Tues
day, November y, thus affording
the residents of this and adjoin-
ing towns an opportunity of see
ing what has been admitted to be
the greatest amusement aggrega-
tion ever organized. There is NO
show in this country that has won
for itself reputation for merit
and care of it's patrons as has the
1O1 Ranch Wild West. 1t ranks
in magnitude with the very
largest and tours the country on
its own three trains of double
length cars. Nearly 1000 men,
women and horses are required
to give the performance that is
given twice daily in the huge
arena. The show carries with
it over one hundred Indians, and
every one of them is seeing this
part of the country for the first
time. The cowboys and cowgirls
are all from the 101 Ranch in
Bliss, Oklahoma, and it is from
this ranch, the largest in the
world, that the show derives its
name and which is the shows
home when not on the road. Mil
Ter Brothers, who, with Edward
Arlington. are the owners of the
show are also the owners of this
extensive ranch.
On the morning of the day that
the show will be in Nashville, a
grand free street parade will be
given, and even if you do not in
tend to witness the performance.
you should not miss this mighty
street parade. 1t is said to be
the greatest streetdemonstration
ever seen, and as it has made
nearly all of the larger cities and
been lauded to the very limit by
the press and natrOpS a1i1ya +bo,o
Is no reason to doubt anything
that is promised for the parade
or anything connected with this
stupendous enterprise. Two per-
formances are to be given. The
afternoon performance at > o.
clock and the evening perform
ance at s o'clock. The doors will
open one hour earlier. adv. |

MORTALITY IN WAR.

War, called by the great Erasmus,
"the malady of princes" has had so
many victims we will never be able
to reckon them up. However, it is
computed that up to the middle of
the nineteenth century no less than
6,SGO,0OO,O0O men perished on the
field of battle. In all probability
the estimate is under, rather than
over, the mark. You may be correct
in thinking that "wars are practical
ly over" among civilized people, but
from the present-day armaments of
the so-called civilized peoples it
would look as though those in au-
thority had not yet gotten over the
fear of the old terror.
