"Dam Congressman"

Henry'T Rainey has been dubbed
by some Of his associates the dam
congressman" says the Chicago Elk
aminer. This is all on account of his

pointed to investigate the stoppage

of water at the Keokuk dam.

tains and owners in Washington tos
testify to the committee about the
traffic conditions on the river. They
said many of their boats had, run
aground because the power company
impounds too much water.

entirely free from the customary

acterized the city water making useful
only for laying dust and putting out

water continues, the Memphis water
