Bulletin Of Upper Mississippi Asso-
citation Says Middle West Must
use River to Pre-
vent 1t.
TILE PANAMA CANAL
Opportunity is Offered to Work In
Conjunction With Canal and
Secure Trade for the
Middle West.

The Upper Mississippi River I'm
provement association has issued u
bulletin from the Office of Secretary
Lewis II. Boswell Of Quincy, comment
ing upon the successful meeting held
in Burlington in September, the trip
to the Keokuk water power and the
general work of the association.
The bulletin says that the mission
of the association has not been accom-
plished merely because it secured a
continuous appropriation Of s2o,o00,-
600, in propor.ionate installmenrs.
from congress for the improvement Of
the upper Mississippi but calls atten-
tion to the proposed legislation for
better terminal facilities, the neces-
sity for restoring a dependable low
water depth of six feet giving an in,
centiye to capital to invest in up-to-
date river craft and the opportunity
offered in the building of the Panams
canal.

The Panama Canal.


Concerning the effect of the Pana.
ma canal upon river traffic the bulle-
tin says:
The opportunity Is offered in con
junction with the Panama canal
which is to be opened within year
to add to the output Of our factories
and materially increase the move
ment of products from the middle
west, provided the Mississippi rive,
is made the main artery Of commerce
between the northern ports on the
river and New Orleans.
The east should not be permitted
to dominate the trade which will pass
through the Panama canal. The
middle west must take note Of what
is transpiring and prepare to meet the
situation it presents.
1t is well known that shippers o.
the middle west are at a disadvantage
and that the cities in the east and
on the Atlantic seaboard hold the
commanding position in the lower cos
of transportation through the cana
to the Pacific coast, and other points
to be reached.

Heavy Rail Rate.

flSdNy nan ndtSs
The middle west must pay the rail
rate to either seaboard or to gulf
ports before ocean rates are avafr
able.
The rates, all rail, from Mississippi
river points would be:
To New York. list class $50 to 92c
per cwtt.
To New Orleans s1.o4 and upward,
per cWt.
There is but one way this grea,
differential can be reduced. and that
is through the use of the Mississippi,
river to New Orleans. Whatever
through rate may be the result Of this
water route, will be the basis for re
duction OF the disadvantage which
manufacturers and other producers In
the middle west must face in compe
tition with those located in the east

THE DISAPPEARING PEAFoWL

That vaingloriOus bird. the pea fowl seems to be doomed to cxtinc- tion in the United States unless something is done to increase his tribe
 The census report shows that m all the United States in 1910 there
 were but 645S peafowls. In num- Der of the. states there are no pea fowls reported In many others the number is merely nominal. The states in which the birds are most
 numerous are Texas. with 13o: Ten
 nessee. with 65O: Kentucky. with
 4S3 and Mississippi. with 4O1. No
 other state in the union has as many as 400.
 The strident voice of the peacock once was heard on many Kentucky farms where today it would be suf- ficiently strange to excite wonder. In 1910 only 116 farms in the state reported the possession of peafoWls' Only 1907 farms reported them m ! the entire United States. It seems rather peculiar that so famous ana beautiful specimen of the oird family should be so decreasing m number that it is likely In the l course of few more years to DC in demand as a museum curiosity. | An oldtime nature lover once wrote of the peafowl family: we find in their incompatible robe al | that glistens in the rainbow ano sparkles in the mine-the azure tints of heaven and the emerald o the fields" Probably it is because the peacock is such gorSeouslN handsome fellow that the Americai people practically have ceased to ga him. feeling that it is shame t' kill him, especially when he is "dr! meat anyhow" The average Amerl can farmer raises fowls for us' rather than ornament and as th' peafowl is not prolific and not mucl lin demand for utilitarian purposes he has been dropped from the cata Iogue of assets on most of the farms But he should not be allowed t' perish from the earth. Merely a , an establishment he is more thai
 worth his board and keep.-Louis vile Courier Journal.
