Rich Farm Land at Stake.

Under the plan Mr.. Riker has out
lined il the government cannot only pre-
vent the recurrence of flood, even in
the lower reaches of the river, but can
reclaim hundreds Of thousands of acres
of farm lands. This vast area of swamp
land lies on the west bank of the Mis-
sissippi. between the Red river and the
Arkansas river. The swamp water is at
present imprisoned between levees along
the Mississippi and the levees along the
Red river and the Arkansas river. In
low water times the swampS drain into
the Mississippi, but as the big stream
rises the swamps are shut off and fill
with seepage that has no outlet.
The proposal to clean this out by goug-
ing out the bikes and leyees and clean
ing up strip ten miles wide from the
Red river TO the gulf viii cost only 81,
100000 for the land in Mr.. Rikcr's cal
culations. After it is under government
control Mr. Riker figures ii can be made
into a rich agricultural belt, besides
serving as an always safe Spillway for
the foodwaters of the Mississippi.

Would Scrape Valley Clean.

Briefly, Mr.. Riker's plan is to scrape
the Mississippi valley clean, five miles
wide on each side of the stream, ten
miles in ALL remove all Instructions
and then build great banks ten miles
apart. reclaim all the swamp land ex-
listing behind the present bikes, and
where necessary TO tunnel under the
earth to drive huge tunnels of steel
tubing there to act a seer or run
off for the billions of gallons of flood
water that back up in the farms of the
valley each spring. This plan has been
submitted to Maj. l.. III. Rand, Corps
Of Engineers, l.. S. A., secretary of
the board of flood control. His com
ment was most interesting and fas-
chatting and he promised the board
would give the plan due consideration.
Representative Dyer is interested in
getting the bill through Congress. He
said of IL today:
This proposition is not a dream. 1t is
most serious thing. Something has TO
be done in that valley. and this appears
to be the biggest scheme yet. 1t must

Possibly the nationalist fear that If they

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-08-25

First, let us take the case of Eric
Larson, a married man, who had his
leg broken in the Williston mine in
1911. He was disabled for three
months and a half.
His pay, had averaged $4.72 a day,
net. So Uncle Sam calmly paid him
$4.z2 a day during those three
months and a half, just as, if he had
kept on working all the time.
If Eric had paid the 81 a month
hospital fee" that is optional with
the men, his doctor and hospital bills
would have been paid, too.
But now consider this remarkable
fact. Eric's case shows the only Sc
rious injury that has occurred in
Uncle Sans. mine in five years of
operation. There have been no fatali-
ties.

WiIIiston, N. D., Aug. 25.-In a
previous article 1 have told how
Uncle Sam mines coal at WilhstOn
cheaper than the private operators,
and at the same time pays his miners
more money and makes them more
comfortable. AS evidence of this, the
entire force Of a neighboring, pri-
vately owned mine recently came
over to the government mine when
Foreman William Hutchinson needed
more men,
But there is another vital question
in the operation of a coal mine-the
question of SAFETY. You may want
to know what Uncle Sam is doing to
protect the life and health Of his
miners and how he treats them when
they are injured, .s
