Work on Lake Cooper.

There is some work in progress at
present on the river. The govern
ment is engaged in digging out the
interior OF the brealwater built by
the city of Fort Madison, Iowa. It
will be converted into a harbor of
refuge. Lake Cooper, as it is COM
monty termed, being backwater from
the Keokuk dam, becomes very VIC
lent In storms. not only in the past
having upset smaller vessels but
having damaged heavier boats. The
harbor will give refuge in times OF
storms.
Work at the Le Claire canalizing
project, IA miles above Rock Island,
has been resumed. Progress is now
being made on repairing the Golfer
dams which were damaged during
the high water. The river rose to
four feet over the top Of the wall dur
ing the recent swell. Only 5000
cubic yards OF material, it Is thought,
will have to be replaced. When the
Golfer dam Is repaired the water in
the interior will be pumped out

SAYS SUBMARINE HAS
No MESSAGE TO WILSON

Norfolk, Va, July s.--When Cap
tain Hans" Hinsch. of the Tug Tim
mons, boarded the su b M a n e
Deutschland here early today he was
80 overcome that he embraced Cap
tain Kairig, commander Of the visitor.
Reticence marked the conduct of
Captain Kairtg, however. He said his
voyage had been very interesting"
but not as dangerous as some might
think. He declared he saw many
British merchantmen while crossing
the Atlantic, and could have sunk
them had he been armed for that
purpose.
Captain Kairig admitted his subma-
rine sailed from Kiel on June 10, but
said ii took on most of her cargo
at another port. She made her way
through the North Sea and under
several hundred British and French
warships maintaining a blockade of
German ports.
She also encountered numerous nets
and other distractions placed by the
enemy. These were removed by the
naval submarines sent out to clear
the way for the Deutschland. y da-
lay in clearing the channel for her
passage caused the Deutschland to
lose three days and she was forced
to remain idle but ready to get away
at moments notice.
Captain kairig said he was Obliged
to go 500 miles off the short course
which brought him in the Atlantis
several days behind his schedule.
II England attempts to block this
course, he says 1t will be possible for
German submarines 70 get into the
Atlantic by passage through or
rather under, the English channel.
Captain Hinsch, of the Tmmons,
was enthusiastic in his praise for
Captain Kairig's feat.
The arrival of this vessel makes
history" he said. 1T will make Cap
ttan Kairig the most fearless mariner
that ever coursed the seas. II VIII
mean Germany need fear the blockade
OF any foe
1t was authenticity dcnled that the
submarine bears a message from tho
Kaiser to Presidents Wilson as had
been reported.
