THOMAS F0RSEES
TRAFFIC ON RIVER
LOCAL NAVIGATION BOOSTER
SAYS WAR DEPARTMENT IS Ar.
TER BRIDGE INFORMATION.

Through letters have received dur
ing the past thirty days l learn that
the War Department is now listing
all of the bridges on the Des Moines
river, asking for dates of construction
and ohter data. City Engineer Brady
has furnished the necessary informa-
ton as to tho Ottumwa bridges. For
what purpose this information is want
ed do not know and asked no ques-
; tions for the very good reason that the
government engineer would not
answer them. In fact they are not al
lowed to do SO, by the superior Off
GERS. However am inclined to belive
that the War Department is getting
! ready to issue an order to open these
bridges, SO that boats can pass
, through them. Such action was taken
on the Missouri, Illinois and White riv-
ers in recent years, and the action OF
the War Department was sustained
by the Federal courts, and also by the
The opening of the five bridges below
here would let any of the Mississippi
river steamboats, up to Ottumwa dur
ing the four spring months of the year.
This year what we called wet sea-
son, the boats could have navigated
the Des Moines for six months. The
estimated cost of remodeling one OF
these bridges so that boats could pass
through it is about $4,000. The re-
quired clearance between piers is one
hundred and twenty-five feet. Four.
teen of the bridges below Ottumwa
have a clearance of one hundred and
fifty feet. The last one near the mouth
has clearance of one hundred and
twenty-five feet So there would be
no change necessary in the space be-
tween piers. To make the opening two
plans have been discussed, one by lift
ing up the one hundred and fifty foot
span SO that boats can pass under 1t.
The second a loose, draw or swinging
bridge. This could be made by tying
two of the one hundred and fifty foot
piers together, building larger pier
in the center, and with a turn table
swing the two spans leaving an open
ing of one hundred and twenty-five
feet ON each side Of the center pier.
the required width. With the bridges
open and contract with our shippers,
the boats would come to Ottumwa, and
their coming would mean reduction
in freight rates of at least fifty per
cent. The saving in freight charges
would soon equal the cost of opening
the bridges. Ottumwa Is big shipper.
Ships in and out, more than one mil
lion tons of freight per year, ana
could furnish plenty of the business
for both the railroads and the boats
and the operation of the latter would
regulate and hold down the charges
to and from all points east, south and
north.

was that he always wanted to be DONG
something. -,
OF course Peetie, the white dog with
the black spot on his nose, wanted 10
do things, too, but Jackie generally
was the first to speak about it. So,
as soon as, he woke up, Jackie bit
Peetie's left ear, very gently and softly
and awakened his little brother.

stretching first one leg, then the oth-
or. "Why did you wake me up?'

But won't the hook hurt the f1sh?
asked Peetie, who was very kind heart
ed In fact he was SO kind that ne
didn't even like to kill a mosquito
when it bit him on the nose.

the fish a little," admitted Jackie.

to 'pece out where the boy girl cannot get quite
enough money from home. Even for the pay of
teachers there has not been enough this fall and the
teachers work for much smaller salaries than given
at the State University. Besides this ed-"daily
