The Proposed Rock Island Line.
To the Editor OF The Gate City:
! The Rock Island through line, IL
| natural features are considered. could
run from Peoria to Bushnell, Car
thage, Keokuk, st. Francisville. Kaho-
ka. CORN. Kirksville, and need not
then go to Trenton. The object OF
going to st. Francisville is to be at
the head of the lower reach" of the
Des Moines river where there fs rock
bottom for dam and bridge and no
| flood from either the Des Moines or
Mississippi rivers need be feared, II
the present road bed is somewhat
raised this side the yellow banks.
From Bushnell to Carthage there is
likely not deep valley to cross. From
st. Francisville to Kahoka, while
there is Fox or Shrinking" river, there
Is said to be a feasible grade. but II
not, the route to Revere Is sure
easy, and in either case the Santa Fe
Is tapped and interurban trains could
be run. The Iowa side Of st. Fran
cisvi1le's situation is thus in point as
a wagon bridge Is now needed.
So far as known the vertical system
of drainage, or drainage by or into
wells was first suggested by A. l..
Goodyear from Garner. Iowa, about
September 10, 1891, 2 or 3. in dry
year anyway. Swampy lands are
usually undertake by black clay,
which may be shale, silt or decom-
posed shale in place. Bore or drill to
second water, about everywhere in
reaching distance. In 1899 the Iowa
geological survey reports boring
through hardpan to sand-Muscatine
county. In Humboldt county, wells
aim to reach limestone assures or
some water-bearing stratum. One
drains hundreds OF acres, and 1t gives
UP potable water galore. The United
States reports in 1904, some black
soil of Indiana was so drained but
present officials do not seem friendly
to the plan. Several in Lee county
report sand-filled wells as drained
not long successful. Better sand i'll
ters over q COPIED well. Better yet,
copped wells with soil filters. These
can be put in easily in dry seasons, or
drilled in water II one is equipped for
rapid moving. Even clay lands will
in three years, accommodate them
selves to drains deeply placed, accord

About twenty-five years ago such |
men as s. s. Davidson OF Woodward, /
Iowa and Horace G. Cue Of Dss
Moines were seriously discussing irri- |
CATION for Iowa, and their figures
look quite convincing. Since then
one Calvin wrote up Iowa In book
form SO clearly that Lee county, /!
though fool, may read. The state had /
no warrant In science to tax Lee
county lands merely because Keokuk I
is prospecting and was the banner city
for profits under Mayor Off, nor be-
cause, under Mayor Elder, city values
rose on the books $1,0OO,OOu in two
years, or $1,754, 1856 sole value, If the
state really equalized as 1t figured
