INCREASE IN RIVER TRAFFIC.
Mississippi, Wharfs Need Better Load
ina Eaeilitiaa.


Davenport, July 16.-Davenport river
men are interested IN the project TO
secure for the upper Mississippi river
ports the same rehabilitation OF the
old river freight traffic that seems 10
be assured for Missouri river cities. 1t
is expected tina, barge rather than
steamboat lines will be the means Of
this.
1t is pointed out that small tow
boats can handle heavily loaded
barges at small expense compared
to that entailed for the general steam
boat lines. The principal item in the
river freight bill at the present time
is the unloading and loading expense,
and with the barge line this would be
reduced to handling at terminals alone
instead OF at Intern ediate points.
The installation OF huge cranes for
loading and unloading would be q
great factor in reducing the expense,
it Is pointed out. The difference in
railway and boat freight charges due
to lack Of loading and unloading ia
ciiitles is illustrated IN the improve
nlent OF the Davenport levee, It bein g
discovered to be much cheaper to buy
rock delivered BY rail than that shipped
by boat from the LeClaire quarries.
In regard to the increase in freight
traffic on the missouri river it is said
that more freight is now being han
died on the Missouri river than at
any time in the last thirty years and
the rehabilitation of the old trade route
between Kansas City and ST. Louis
is a fact.
Last week more thar 1900 tons Of
freight were handled at the NUM-
cipal wharf at Kansas City from in
coming boats and shipments out were
nearly 200 tons. The business is grow
ing steadily and is expected from now
on to average 1000 tons week, the
shipments being limited only by the
capacity OF the boats There are now
three towboats and four barges in
service, and one more barge, will be in
service by the time the down stream
movement OF wheat begins.
All along the river the farmers are
building landings from which their
wheat can be shipped to St. Louis by
water, and there is already in sight
enough grain to keep the barges busy
until late in the fall.

Contractor, at Webster City Meets
Difficulty in Laying Foundation.
Webster City. July ls.-W. J. zit-
terrell. who is erecting the new high
school building at the corner Of Bank
and Des Moines streets, has been
working against a handicap for some
time having struck quicksand at many
different points on the site. The first
intimation Of the presence Of this sand
was discovered several days ago. Stone
and other material placed on the sand
would sink and an examination re-
vealed the presence of quicksand The
workmen were compelled to dig as
much as six feet to find Arm ground
for the foundation. Another difficulty
is the presence Of underground veins
of water. In number Of places the
water gave the men much trouble.
However, the foundation is being put
in in good shape and will soon be COM
pieted. The water and quicksand have
caused much delay and will add no
small amount to the cost of the build
ing.
Many years ago the ground where
the school house site is located was
covered with small springs and it was
not unusual for town cows to get into
trouble there A schoolboy could
stand upon the ground in many places
in that vicinity and by jumping up
and down could shake several hum
dred square feet of soil. All this has
been changed by drainage.

LABOR SCARCITY DUE TO WRECK

declare that inability to secure skilled

service extensions and paving is going

construction of business buildings than
for any year since the rebuilding pc
Rod that followed the big fire Of 1904,
and the result is that even advanced
wage scales have not proved adequate
to draw out generous supply of la
borers. The eastern labor markets have
been drawn on with only partial sue
cess. Men seem unwilling to stay. even
when hired, and the lure Of the har-
vest fields Is beginning to prove
strong competitive factor.
