six.Foot Channel.
In 1873 when the first practical river
work was inaugurated the government
worked on the basis of four-foot
channel. This continued until about
four years ago, when It was found that
q six-foot channel would be required If
the Mississippi was to be used extern
sively for traffic. Congress then ap-
propriated $20,O00.00O, to be used at
the rate Of $1,250,000 per year. The
method employed to Great the six-foot
channel is simple, though slow and
tedious. The theory is that the far
ther the wing dams extend into the
river the more confined will be the
channel, and in order for the immense
volume Of water to pass through the
narrower opening, 1t will scoop out the
sand bottom Of the river to make room
for itself. Consequently, when the
six-foot work was started. old dams
were extended and new ones built,

passing Of two large packets. Where
formerly the river channel was as
much as a thousand feet wide, the por-

Genoa, Wis, after the dams are all In
place will be 625 feet, and from Genoa
to the mouth Of the Wisconsin river.

FEDERAL TELEPHONE IN
TWO YEARS, SAYS LEWIS.
parssI Posts Father Predicts Purchase
Of Telegraph Linss Also.

Representative David J. Lewis Of
Maryland, the house father Of parcel
post, in a speech in Washington be-
fore the national convention Of second
and third class postmasters predicted
that in the next two years congress
will authorize the postofhce department
to take over the gigantic telephone
monopoly Of the country. capitalized
at $1,000 100000. and operate it as a
part of the federal postal system.
Some significance is attached to Mr..
Lewis prophecy. Since last March he
has been working out plans for legis-
lation looking to public ownership Of
the telephone and telegraph. His pre-
diction is the first authorized announce
ment that he intends to push the mat
ter in the house, as he did the parcel
post legislation two years ago.
The announcement was received
with applause by the 200 postmasters
at the convention. He told how well
the parcel post was operating and how
the predictions of it's success were be-
ing fulfilled. He said 1t would not be
long before the weight limit would be
raised to 100 pounds because Postmas-
ter Burleson "had the nerve to recon
struct this retail package system un-
til II meets every need Of the retail
shipper, and he is going to do it." Mr..
Lewis then said:
