NAVIGATION is COMING

The Press is one of those hope
full individuals who believe that
the Improvement and navigation
of the Old Muddy does not have
to be put off into the indefinite flu
ture; that is, we mean, so Forest
City will get some direct benefit of
it. 1t is not very great stretch
now comparatively that is without
navigation. which is between Bis
mark and Chamberlain. tho we be-
lieve there are no regular boat
lines established vet between Oma-
ha and Chamberlain.
The following dispatches in the
dailies, from the Aberdeen Daily
American, shows that the agitation
is still active along this line;
s'Pierre July 24-The operators
of the coal mines up the Missouri
river are again agitating coal ship
ments to down river points by
barge. This proposition has been
discussed several times since the
development of the coal mines up
river has become greater than the
local demand The miners say that
a successful system of briqueting
the light GOALS of the upper Mis-
souri, river mines would reduce
transportation bulk and help tow
ard getting their product out into
new territory"
"Wheeler July 26-A couple of
Gregory-co $50. Oak. stock men
have made practical demonstra
tion of the value of the Missouri
river. They acquired one of the
few old river steamboats, left, took
it to point near their farm and
loaded it with hogs. They hoated
their cargo down river to Sioux
City where they sold their stock
and loaded up with fencing mater
! ial for their ranch and returned
home.
s'The question of shipping coal
down the river is also being reyiv-
/ ed. 1t has been SO long since any
thing Of this kind has been under
taken that it has attracted atten-
tion in this part of the State. y
The Bismark Daily Tribune also
contained the following in its issue
of July 18th:
''Capt. Grant Marsh will leave
tomorrow for Williston where he
will take command of river
steamer and tow barge and take
them to St. Louis, Mo. The boats
are owned by the Guthrie Con-
struction Company. Capt. Marsh
has had practically a life of exper-
ience as a river pilot and knows
the ways and wiles of the Missouri
better than any man who ever
navigated the stream"

A FIvE.HEADED GOVERNMENT.

A flVE.nEADED UUVEkNMENl.
Unfortunate Fear and Jealousy Prevents
Scientific Improvement of Mis-.
souri, River
Such little items as the follow
ing sets The Press editor to
dreaming; and a good dreamer is
one who follows up his dreams by
asking lot of questions:
sd. McGintv, a farmer living
near junction City, Kansas, had
an entire wheat field of 14O acres
ruined when the Republican river
overfowed and the fish ate the
heads off the wheat
Our question is, Why can't this
waste be stopt2 But the farmer
who lives out on the broad prairie
imagines he has a problem that is
Altogether different from the city
man, and thinks that he has moth
ing to do with the floods that roll
down rivulet, creek and river, tax
ing away forever the richest and
most productive real estate there
is, cutting it out wholesale, with
crops, trees and everything else,
and dissolving it into silt and mud.
Has our farmer friend ever
stopt to think that every city is
located either in the valley, ON
creek or river, or on the seashore?
s1The exceptions prove the rule
Said farmer friend elects men to
90 to the legislatures and Congress
to make laws to control the flood;
TO spend millions of money, much
of which is an actual loss.
But we are not going to tire our
readers with long ''screed,' at
least this time. What we want to
suggest is that the Improvement
of the Missouri river ought to
commence with the farmers living
on their farms. If every farmer
would take care of the rain that
falls on his own individual land,
onehalf of the difficulty of making
the Missouri river commercial
highway would be settled.
1t is high time that this thing
of Missouri river lands washing
away was stopt. There are five
factors in accomplishing this great
end, which, if they were united in
one harmonious unit, would make
the cost to the individual tax-pay-
er small matter. First, there is
the farmer on his farm, who should
make proper drains on his land,
which would turn his surplus
water into reservoir, or pond, on
his own land. Second, the organ
lied civil township. This would
compel the non resident owner of
lands in the township to pay his
share for drains and bitches that
lie along public highways. Third,
the county. Potter county is do
ing very large amount of road
work. The Press is satisfied that
much Of this is misdirect-
ed and a waste of time and
resources. But this side of the
subject we shall leave to a future
article. Fourth, the State. Fifth.
the national government.
Here are five persons and corpo.
rations-tho only four as yet in
this township-all dabbling at the
road or irrigation question, and in
the majority of cases either work
ing contrary to each other or idly
wasting their time waiting TO,
somebody else to begin the work
When you think of five persons
trying to work on a mile stretch
of road. all having different ideas
