Knows Situation, Will Meet #.
Madison Officials.

G. w. Kellogg, general manager OF
the Mississippi River Power company.
attended Monday evening the meeting
of the city council for the purpose Of
discussing with that body the sewer
and submerged street matters, says
the Fort Madison Democrat.
There could be obtained at the
meeting but hazy idea OF what was
to be done and Mr.. Kellogg stated
that on the return to Iowa OF Eugene
Maxwell, he would go into the matter
thoroughly as he was familiar with
the situation, having handled 1t since
the inception of the power company.
AS regards the sewers, Mr.. Kellogg
was told that q trunk sewer along the
river front would be necessary to car
~ the water to the pumping station
which would be built to force the wa
ter into the river Mr.. Kellogg did not
commit himself regarding either the
sewer or street matter. Mr.. Schmidt
was present at the meeting and stated
that the streets now under water were
Park, Miller, Walker and Occidental.
These it will be necessary to fill as
far as the old water line and rip-rap
to retain the work in place. Eaton

parently fixed. would not last two
weeks after the river was raised to

The mayor appointed committee
Of three, Fipp, Masters and Peoples, to
confer with the power company re-
garding the settlement Of what IS

Blair Says Riuer
Boats are Better
Than Steel Barges

The last issue of the Burlingto
Saturday Evening Post contains
etter written to the paper by Waite
4. Blair of the White Collar line, 1
which he draws some comparisons b,
tween Bernhard's barges and the reg
lar type Of Mississippi river boat. HI
communication Is as follows:
Those who are and have been
steamboating OH western rivers
have never to my knowledge at
tempted to prevent the introduce
duction and adoption of any i'm
provement in hulls. boilers or ma
chinery or the method Of their
operation. They have adopted
every change that upon trial was
found to be an improvement.
Our boats and our methods have
been criticised and r1diculed by
1mitators and promoters Of orig
inal types Of bulls and wheels and
engines. They have had q fair
chance to demonstrate the truth
fulness of their extravagant
claims. but how few Of them have
secured a success, and what dis
play could be made by gathering
together tho freaks, follies and
! failures strewn along tho shores.
After several years experience
in managing a fleet Of sixty-two
river steamers on tho Amazon and
its tributaries, Captain Ellison de-
clared that of all the different
types in use there the most sat
isfactory, economical and profit
able were those Of the western
river tyre.
IfMr. Bernhard can demonstrate
one-half he claims for his new
style OF craft we will not try to
injure him or his boat. We viii
gladly learn and profit by any
useful lesson he can teach NJ.
But his barges are intended for a
different business. They Will not
be in competition with our boats.
It is not necessary to injure or
destroy our property or our bust
ness that ne may succeed. A bird
in hand should have some value
compared with one in the bush
that has not been tested and is
long past due.
Very truly yours.

charge of the national parks. Senator
Brady thus refers to the subject:
Conferences had with your predeces-
sor in relation to certain improvements
and changes in the park roads cause me
to express the hope that it is now pos
sible for the people en- route to the Pam
ama-Pacific Exposition to enjoy the ad-
vantage which automobile service in Vel
lowstone would afford. 1t would be a
splendid thing and of much benefit to
the travelling public. and / am hopeful
that the 1915 interstate travellers will
have opportunity Of using their own
vehicles in the park"
Admission into Yellowstone will result
in considerable travel over the park-to-
park road connecting with Glacier Park,
and a use of the new Snoqualmie Pass
road over the Cascades, with Seattle as
the destination. Then would come the
use of the Pacific highway through Ore
gon southwark to California. For those
who would emerge from Yellowstone at
the western gate there would be Offered
the Idaho route. which would include
Shoshone Falls. deservedly known as the
Niagara Of the West, and successfully
competing with the great cataract in its
grandeur.

The possibilities Of the motor car in
bringing closer together the farmer and
the ultimate consumer are beginning to
impress themselves on both these great
divisions Of the American people, ac-
cording to Claude S. Briggs. president Of
the Briggs-Detroiter company. of De-

"A very large number Of motorists in

into the country for the purpose Of buy

other farm products. but the initiative
for the most part has been With the mo-

heavy.
Among our dealers in Ohio is a young
farmer, who graduated a few years ago
from a leading agricultural college.
spent a season on the road selling gaso-
line engines. and then settled down on
an eighty-acre farm a few miles from
which hundreds Of motor cars pass every
day during the touring months.
Motorists frequently stopped at his
farm for produce. and gladly paid city
retail prices for everything they bought.
He finally erected a bulletin board in
front OF his place upon which he quoted
prices on products. etc, slightly lower
than those charged in the city stores.
Business developed so rapidly that 1t
soon became necessary for him to buy
from his neighbors in order to get pro-
duce enough to supply the demand.

, The effort to secure the admission OF
automobiles into Yellowstone Park is not
of recent origin. and President John A.
Wilson Of the American Automobile AS
sociation is continuing the policy OF his
predecessors in urging that this national
recreation area should be available to
the modern form of transportation. A
communication to the A. A. A. head from
F. P. Mathewson. president OF its Mon
tana State body, concisely summarizes
the situation in these words:

years past that the stage lines in Vel
lowstone Park were not progressive and
were not looking to their own best in
terests in working against the tntroduc-
ton Of automobiles. As a rule, the visi-
tor to the park nowadays takes the five
day trip. People who are not physically
fit are extremely weary after long
ride in the stage coach; and many peo-
pie who would otherwise visit the park
will not go on account Of the poor ar
rangements for transportation. II the
good people running the stage lines
would substitute the modern Sightseeing
automobiles, they would have twice the
number of passengers and could charge
a larger fee. In addition to this. they
would be able to take q much more ex-
tended routh through the park, visiting
points of interest that are never seen
by the ordinary visitor"

Senators from the Pacific Northwest
