CUMBERLAND RIVER IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Held IMPORTANT SESSION.
for work on lock No. 8.

for work on lock No. 3.
I'VE note with pleasure the
completion of lock B with its
dam in the lower river and now
in operation, and we further ex-
press our satisfaction with the
progress made upon lock Cand D
and that they are soon to be COM
pleted and added to those already
in operation.
"We further express our pleas
ure with the appropriation of
500, 900 carried in the rivers and
harbors bill Of the last congress
for the commencement of locks
E and F, and we urge further
and necessary appropriation for
the early completion of these two
locks, which when finished, will
give an open river the year round
from West Point to the Ohio riv-
er, a distance of 325 miles.
I'VE urge upon congress due
and prompt recognition of the
just claims of this entire
river for speedy improvements.
No river has been subjected to a
more careful painstaking and
thorough examination with re-
spect to its commercial possibili-
ties by the department of en-.
gineers than the Cumberland,
and we call the attention of con-
gress and the country to the
fact that this entire project has
for twenty five years received
the strong and hearty approval
of all the engineers from the dis
trict engineer in charge to the
chef of engineers. We have
every ground, therefore, to most
earnestly request congress i'm
mediately proceed with the work
of improving the upper river
from lock Z to lock q and also to
continue to maintain steady pro-
gress on the lower section of the
river, both under the continuing
contract.
I'VE deeply deplore the course
| of a few senators and members
of congress in making wholly
unjust, unfair and unwarranted
assaults upon the merits and
claims of the Cumberland river,
and we affirm that such assaults
are without foundation in fact
ane have only resulted in doing
undeserved injury to a splendid
and highly meritorious project.
I'VE believe that the improve
ment of rivers and harbors should
be considered q national obliga.
ton.
I'VE urge the enactment Of an
annual rivers and harbors bill
containing such meritorious new
projects as the upper Cumber-
land river.
I'VE sincerely thank our eff
cient and vigilant president and
secratary, Hon. w. E. Myer and
E. S. Shannon for their long,
constant and ever faithful SER
vices.
I'VE thank the daily and week.
ly press for its uniform and val
liable aid and cooperation.
I'VE strongly commend the
work of the national rivers md
harbors congress in behalf of
river and harbor improvement
and recommend that the presi-
dent of this association appoint
ten delegates to attend its next
meeting. to be held in Washing
ton, D. c.. December 6. z, and 8.
Respectfully submitted;

| Chairman.

the Cumberland River Improve
ment association was held in Nash
vile last Thursday. Over one
hundred delegates, representing
forty-one towns along the Cum
berlad river, from its mouth to
head of navigation, were present,
all of whom showed deep con-
cern, as to the speedy compile
tion of the system of locks and
dams as previous recommended.
W. E. Myer, of Carthage, presi-
dent of the association, called the
meeting to order and gave the
keynote of the object of the as
sociation and outlined the pre-
sent condition of the Cumber-
land river as a factor in trans
poration.
Mr.. Myer said that the lower
river would soon be navigable
the year round that is, from
Carthage to the mouth in the
Ohio river, a distance of 325
miles. The completion of Lock
c, he said, will be made in the
fall of 1917, and at that time the
river will be open twelve months
Of the year. In speaking of the
upper Cumberland, he said the
condition was serious. Mr.. Myer
said that the board of engineers
had again recommended the ex-
penditure of 3,5OO,OOO between
Carthage and Lock 21, near Burn
side, but the war and other thing
conspired to postpone any action
by the senate. He said it is in
tended to bring up the recon-
mendation again when congress
meets at the next session. In
conclusion, Mr.. Myer urged the
members of the association to
join in the hard fight that will
have to be made to secure the
appropriation.
The meeting was addressed by
a number of other important
speakers among who was Con-
gresham Hull. He said the
great drawback in developing
river transportation is the ten
dency on the part of shippers to
forsake the river for railroad
rates which are lowered in CON-
petion. He said that the shipp-
ers accepted the cheaper rates
of the railroads and when river
traffic died were face to face
with an increase in freight rates.
He said interest in public meet
ings and cooperation are two
important factors. He told of
the vast resources of the upper
river and the large coal beds
available to river traffic. The
cooperation of Nashville and
both sections of the river is need
ed, he said, in bringing informa.
ton before the board of engine
ers. Congressman Hull said he
is working to include the upper
Cumberland in the next appro-
priation for rivers.
Following is the report Of the
resolutions committee:
I'VE the delegates and men,
bers of the Cumberland River
improvements association, in ninth
annual convention assembled in
the city of Nashville, Tennessee.

people the Importance, the wis.

here last spring for some time and
after his return home was taken with
pneumonia. Three weeks after the
attack and after he was thought to
be improving, he suffered relapse

While carrying a bucketful of
boiling hot water for washing pur-
poses, Frank Singer of Chicago, the
thirteen year old nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Miller. who is visiting at
the Miller home in the Prairie Queen
neighborhood sustained terrible
burns which may result in perma-

suffering. The lad was carrying
large bucketful of boiling hot water.
early yesterday morning, which was
to be used for washing, when dog
ran between his legs. causing the
pail to upset and spilling the. water
over the lads right arm from his
shoulder to the tips of his fingers,
portion of his chest and the upper
part of his right leg. Mrs. Singer
Immediately brought the lad to
Webster City physician who found
the flesh badly burned. Burns from
scalding water are always serious
and how badly the injury may affect
the boys cannot yet be determined.

all homes, after several varied exper-
fences. The children, aged about
eleven and eight years, were placed
on the train at Burlington, Satur-
day, July 1st. with tickets for Web
ster City, and few hours later the
parents started on motorcycle TRIP
to this city. expecting to take the
trip by easy stages.
On Monday afternoon. July 3rd
as Mr.. and Mrs. Stafford were about
six miles from Grinnell, they were
struck by a Ford car, the driver OF
which says he did not see the ap-
preaching motorcycle. The driver
was a liveryman from Malcolm, a
little town nearby, and was on the
wrong side of the road. Both ma
chimes were going at a slow rate OF
speed or the accident would have re-
suited in casualties without doubt.
AS it was the Ford struck the motor
cyle squarely. throwing Mrs. Stat
ford some distance and pinning her
husband under the handlebars, tear
ing the flesh and bruising him Sc
verely. Physicians were summoned
at once and for short time it was
feared Mrs. stafford's back was
broken, but she seems to have sus-
tanned only nervous shock and bad
bruises.
After the liveryman was convinc-
ed that the accident was his own
fault, he took the couple to Malcolm
to hotel where they received good
care until the following day, when
they were able to go to Des Moines
for short stay with relatives be-
fore coming to this city.
The motorcycle, which was badly
wrecked, was taken to Grinnell
where it now is in repair shop. Mr..
Stafford expects to go after the ma

Grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Bonebright Writes From
Camp Dodge.

The following brief letter has just
been received by relatives here from
the soldiers camp at Des Moines:
Camp Dodge, July S.-Hello
Folks: l have only little time to
write. Was out on an extended drill
order this morning, and it is hotter
than anything here today. Have been
working in the regimental store, and
therefore haven't drilled but twice
since came to camp. Was appoint
ed corporal yesterday. Have a chance
to go into the supply department
under Captain, Smith. and if I get
that will rank as sergeant. We all
have acquisitions for clothing, but
haven't received anything yet, except
a few shoes. Expect to get things
about the first of the week.
AL. and Pearl Brock are here, and
! just had fine big feed. Chicken
from home tastes mighty good. If
my stomach felt as we'll all summer
as it does right now, / believe l
would be too goodnatured to fight.
received the money o. X. few
days ago. Thanks: it will come in
pretty handy, as we haven't been
paid yet The muster rolls are not
finished and we can't find out when
the pay-wagon will show up.
did big washing yesterday, and
am finding out things. Sent you a
card the first of the week. and will
write more later.
