CLARK SCORES FOES
INLAND WATERWAYS

ST. LOUIS, September 32.-rhe op-
ponents Of waterways improvements.
the adverse report Of Lieut.. Col. OF
Engineers Deakyne on the proposed
Improvement Of the Missouri river,
and tho persons who cry pork" Al
mention Of river Improvements In the
middle west, were denounced by
Speaker Champ Clark Of the national
House of Representatives in an address
before the Business Mems League here
today.
He directed attention to the small
gain in population throughout the mid
die west in recent years. and advocated
the re-establishment of cheap water
transportation as the principal remedy
for the existing disparity Of growth
between the Mississippi valley and the
seaboard, gulf and lake states"
Referring to the advantages which
might be derived from the building Of
the Panama canal and the improvement
of the Mississippi and its tributary
rivers. he said:
valley, have q golden opportunity t.
grow in wealth and population which
will never come again."
Traffic Must Be Revived.
Traffic on the Mississippi and Mis-.
souri, must be revived soon or never
The congressional delegation from the
Mississippi valley cannot succeed In
definitely in securing appropriations
unless there is a speedy and important
increase in steamboating. This can be
accomplished in two ways.
Il. Build steamboats, and set them tc
work; 2. Construct adequate wharves
and river rail terminals
ut is evident that the propaganda
against river improvement Is well
financed, and who ever are behind II
must believe that improved rivers
would injure their interests, otherwise
they would not put up the money fol
such an expensive propaganda.
eff an appropriation Is for the i'm.
provement of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York or New England waters" the
Speaker declared. ut is patriotic ex-
penditure. But II the appropriation IL

Views of Mr.. Vaughn.
Mr.. Vaughn had said in his paper;
"a simple form Of contract can be
made with the public utility company
in which the city agrees to pay a GER
tain rate per kilowatt hour for the cur
rent measured by the watt meter hours
installed at the primary transformer
poles" He spoke Of the city being
called upon to pass enactments TOT the
creation Of q division of street lighting

enactments to regulate and control
street lamps installed by private indi-
viduals.
Mr. Lacombe said:
while 1t is unfortunate in technical
discussions to interpolate the question

citation with the city of New York

ing control necessary to the success OF
electrical service rendered by a num-
cipality.
Investigated in New York.
This matter was carefully investt-
gated in New York by boards Of en-
gineers and it was found that the
better course was to pay fair and rea-
sonable price for service and let the
lighting companies defray the many
expenses of changes of equipment and
maintenance due to the improvements
of the art, the life Of the various posts.
the equipment and the distribution
service, the service rendered being
carefully inspected, measured and
watched by an inspection bureau which
enforced the contract requirements,
audited the bills and imposed reason
able penalties.
with such bureau and with the
superyision as to rates and the expert
aid given by a railroad commission OF
the highest standing, 1t would seem
entirely unnecessary for a Wisconsin
city, to try the very doubtful expert
ment of municipal ownership. with its
inevitable division of responsibility.

The Gardners were poor people
and they we're poorer than ever after
the county fair had come and gone.
That was late in September. The
grounds used for the great annual
exhibition were only half a mile away
from the humble little home. 1t was
the first time they had been used for
that purpose, so Ruth Gardner, the
mainstay of the family, devised, as
she thought, a sure way to make
some money out of it.
"Yes," her crotchety grandfather
had agreed, cit looks likely and I'll
supply the 5000 to stock up, although
it's my very last cent"
II am sure can pay you back and
make a nice, tidy profit" enthused
the optimistic Ruth.
There were four in the family-old
Mr.. Gardner, his widowed daughter,
Mrs. Warren, Ruth's mother, and
Ruth's younger sister, Meta. Ruth
had been working as clerk in the big
store of the town on extra rush days
when the farmers came to the county
seat. 1t was poor pay that she re-
ceived, but it helped to fill out.
A vast splurge, to her modest way
of thinking, was possible when the
fair came along. Her mother was a
wonderful cook. Her pies, doughnuts
and cookies were famous. Ruth got
a new idea in her mind-to start a
little lunch booth on the fair grounds.
She was awarded a most promising
spot right near the entrance gates. It
took 5000 to secure a coffee steamer,
knives, forks, spoons and the cook
ing outfit, and the day the fair opened
she and her mother took in $50
Alas, for their simple hopes and
fond calculations! That very night a
fire caught in building next to their
little booth and eOuiDment. eatables
