STRENGTHENING on the Dss Moines
river, with Keosauqua as the objec-
tive point, is admirably described in
the magazine feature section of yes

days when the Des Moines river was
navigable. This is dream which
some of the towns on the river are
hoping yet to revive.
For years after 1887, the article
states Keosauqua was the head OF
navigation. Entries from an old diary
kept as far back as 1853 are quoted
to show that boats were frequent on
the river.

DIRECT PRIMARY
MAY DEVELOP
STRUGGLE

with a recommendation for passage,
but when it was called for third read.
ing this morning Julius Asch succeed.
ed in having consideration deferred
until next Wednesday, April 2.
There was some speculation among
the members as to his purpose in this,
and some guessing as to why he was
cppoed TO it. At the time she made
the motion to defer he announced
that he deired to prepare some amend
ments, and during the noon recess he
explained his position.
Il am not opposed to the direct pri-
mary" he asserted Il am distinctly
for it, but l understand this bill pro-
poses party primary. favor nom
partisan primary and that is the
change | want made in the BILL
The adyisability of inserting the
Eon-partisin feature undoubtedly will
be questioned and probably meet
some strenuous opposition. In the
main, party lines have been quite gen.
orally ignored thus far in the house,
the various bills apparently going
through largely on their individual
merit, but on house bill 81 the lines
may be drawn sharply and the ques-
ton made one of party policy.
The house this morning received a
communications from the bar associ-
alton urging the passage of the meas
ire which provides for the creation of
the office of bail commissioner and a
deputy. The bill, the association as
serts, will effectuaily stamp out that
class of men who prey on prisoners
seeking bail A similar law is in eff
feet in many mainland cities, where
the evils of bail system are even more
pronounced than in Hawaii.
A number of important measures
are scheduled for finaf reading and
passage tomorrow DR.. Twins eugen-
les and sterilization measures will un-
doubtedly be the source of consider
able fireworks. The judiciary COM
mittee's report on the Kalakiela in

Writ senate bill So providing for
civil service in the Honolulu fire and
police departments comes up for third
reading.
At IL o'clock tomorrow morning
Former Attorney General Wickersham
will address the house in regular ses-
sion The senate, as the houses in
vited guests, will be present in a body
and a large crowd of the general pub
lie, which is cordially invited to at
tend, probably will be there. AS this
will be Mr.. Wfckersham's first public
appearance here, and as he probably
will discuss legislative and political
matters of large interest to the peo;
pie of the territory, this occasion will
receive more than ordinary attention
from the business, professional and Of
ficial representatives of the islands.

BUREAU Chief
ON TRANSPORT

Rear Admiral Stanford. chief of the
bureau of Yards and Docks, whose
mission to Honolulu to inspect the
drydock site was announced in the
Star-BuIletin some days ago, is due
here on the next transport from the
coast Wordeo this effect was re-
ceived today.
This should bring Admiral Stan
ford here about April IL, and in the
meantime the public works officer viii
have prepared all reports and surveys
cf the recent damage to the drydock,
SO that the bureau chief may lose no
time in familiarizing himself with To-
cal conditions Admiral Stanford
spent several weeks here last summer
and gave an interesting address on
the Pearl Harbor drydock before the
Commercial Club. 1t is understood
that the plan of Civil Engineer Gayler
for overcoming the difficulties of con-
struction has been approved by the
bureau, and Admiral Stanford's visit
is probably to discuss ways and means
for putting it into effect.
