criticized by three of the members of

STATES DEEP WATERWAY
PLAN FOUGHT IN SENATE,

Washington, April 1S.-Members of
the senate committee on commerce ap-
peared TO be skeptical at the hearing
on the kes-to-the-gulf-deep-w waterway
proposition, not only as TO whether
the state of Illinois will expend
$4,000, 900 for the improvement of the
waterways of the state in connection
with the deep waterway project, but
also as TO the good faith of the sani-
tary district in the matter.
Senator Knute Nelson, chairman of
the committee. suggested that the gov
eminent should proceed carefully in
this matter or it might some day be
overwhelmed with claims from persons
whose lands lie along the river le-
tween Utica and the mouth of the can
al, which might be inundated conse-
quent upon the increased flow of water
caused by the removal of the govern
me,'t dams of Kampsville and "a
| Grange
| He expressed a fear that if the plans
which were advocated by Isham Ran
dolph were carried out it might be
necessary to build levees all the way
from Utica to the mouth of the river
/ to keep the water from Overlooking
/ in food times.
1T seems to me-" he said, that it
is more a question of helping out the
( Chicago sanitary district than one of
improving navigation
The this suggestion Mr. Randolph re-
piled that he did not wish to create
a false impression on the committee
and that the sanitary district would
be benefited by the removal of the
dams, but that it was also true that
they are an obstruction to navigation.
1T is a trivial matter, asking the
government TO appropriate $50, 900
to remove the dams and do the dredg.
ing which We are asking for" said Mr.
Randolph. THE whole deep waterway
project from the lakes to the gulf will
only cost Sl59,00O,00 and of this sum

new RECORD SET
FOR APRIL SHOWS
Fall Yesterday Was Much Heav-
Ter Than That Recorded in
April, 1911.
FORMER MARK SIX INCHES
Measurement Yesterday Was 5.S
Inches-GrOwing Plant Life
Not Injured.

Yesterday saw another April record
shattered. The official measurement
of the snowfall showed that the beau
tiful white" had piled up to a depth OF
z $40 inches which is $40 inches
higher than the previous record set
last year when six inches fell April
2. The record yesterday is all the
more remarkable in that II was made
nearly half month later than the pre-
vious one.
This section was visited only by the
extreme western edge of the storm
which swept past, the central part OF
Illinois getting Elore OF the storm than
did this vicinity. To the west Of here,
the snowfall was very light, at Des
Moines practically none at all coming
down.
FAIR WEATHER AHEAD.
This morning the Official prognosti-
cation was that there would be contin-
ued cold today and tonight with a prob
able frost tonight but that II would re-
main fair and that the warming up
process and the return OF spring would
commence again on the morrow
Therefore let MS live in hope.
The storm thus far has done little
damage Of a permanent nature. Trees
and all growing things escaped serious
injury, thanks TO the fact that the
snow protected them from what cold
there was The cold, however, was
not even in itself sufficient TO do mate
rial hurt

The Cheapest

The Market

As Winged Horse Flour makes
more bread to the sack than
any other and as proved by all
prominent physicians a pound of
wheat flour builds more muscle
and supports more mind than
any other food - therefore
Winged Horse Flour is the
cheapest food on the market.
