CITY, STATE AND c. w. NELSON
MAY OBJECT TO CHANGING
IOWA RIVER CHANNEL.
CITY FEARS DAMAGE TO
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
State May Raise Objections if River
Channel Is Changed From Present
Location Along Home Grounds-ce
Company Fears Damage Will Be
Done to Its Ice Field.

1t is quite probable that the city,
the state, and the Marshal Ice Com
pany may raise serious objection to
the proposed Graihage district in the
Iowa river valley northwest Of this
city, if the new channel for the river
is dug along the route adjacent to
the city and thru the city as proposed
The proposed route of the new chan
mel Is, however, merely possible
route, and it is probable that the route
finally accepted, provided the district
is established may be very different
from that proposed.
The city is interested chiefly be-
cause of the fear that changing the
river channel may endanSer the city's
water supply, which is just now be-
ing protected from just such dan
ger by dam being built at large eX-
pense 1t is thought that so much
larger valume Of water would be de-
livered at the dam in given length
of time thru the new and shorter
channel, that the old channel of the
river above the dam would be so filled
with back water that the water would
break out near where Asher creek
empties into the river. If it did it is
believed that it would break thru east
under the first bridge north Of river
bridge and cut a channel, exposing
the supply main from the water fields,
as flood water has done thru the
channel under the concrete bridge just
north. 1t is believed the city might
prevent this by diking and City En-
gineer Steiner is investigating TO pro-
vide the council with information.
State May Object.
The objection the state will probably
find to the project is that if the new
channel is dug north Of the present
channel, where the latter cuts thru
and skirts the state land, that the old
channel will be left an unsightly bog
that will brow up to underbrush. The
river in it's present channel provides
a convenient recreation ground for
members Of the home besides adding
attractiveness to the grounds. The
state board Of control is expected to
consider the proposed plan and prob
ably will be represented at the hear
ing
The Marshall Ice Company Is pre-
pairing to make objection because OF
the belief that changing the channel
would damage its ice field in the old
river channel
1t is quite possible that if these OBJ
jections are of SO serious nature as
to have sufficient weight that the linn
its of the district may be changed and
the down stream boundary may be es-
tablished at a point upstream from
the state grounds.

Notes of Inter
est to Workers
of the Red Cross

Some inconvenience has been suf-
fered in the local chapter due to a
temporary shortage Of gauze. In fair
ness to the women who do the buying
for Marshall county cnapter, whose
judgment in this case was approved
by County Cnairman Moore, the fol-
lowing from the latest bulletin of the
central division is given:
1--WE are asking all chapters to stop
buying gauze in the open market. We
will soon have plenty or gauze to sell
at much lower prices than chapters
are now paying. Chapters buying on
the open market instead Of requisi-
tioning the bureau Of supplies causes
manufacturers to boost prices. There
are now probably 10000 Red Cross
buyers of gauze competing with one
another when there should be only
one Red Cross buyer-the national
purchasing agent
An order for large quantity, $500
yards, at low price, was placed more
than a month ago. and it is hoped will
be delivered this week There has
also been standing at headquarters
since the first of the year, a large
order for gauze, and it is safe to as
sumo that we will be supplied within
a few days. In the meantime, if the
gauze workers, as far as possible,
would come to the rooms on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after
moons when garment making is in
progress, they could be of much SER
vice
In regard to the shipment Of gar
ments from the local chapter and its
branches, the following is an excerpt
from letter dated March a. and
signed by the superintendent of hos
pital garments:
I'VE commend you tor your good
work. We have placed the name of
your chapter on the list of those send
ing in excellent shipments. In the
future, unless you hear from us to the

MOST
DANGEROUS MONTH

diseases quickly develop from neglect
ed colds and those who are weakened
and rundown are easy victims. But
If the system Is given strength, If the
impurities are driven from the blood
and the nerve tissues fed with whole
Iome and strength giving food medi>
cine such as Father Johns Medicine,
there is no danger in the change of
seasons.
Father Johns Medicine is invaluable
as tonic in the spring. 1t strengthens
the system and drives out the poiso,..
GUS waste matter-bu' up the boey.
It is this power that has made it so
successful in treating colds and throat
troubles.
The danger in using patent medicines
is from the stimulants and dangerous
drugs which many of them depend on
for their temporary effect. Because it
is free from alcohol, narcotics and dar--
gerous drugs, Father Johns Medicine
has had 60 years of success as a tonic
and body builder and in the treatment
of coughs and colds. Father Johns

PERSHING'S
TO DECIDE

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 10.
Gen. Pershing is to determine
whether thousands of American
troops may be spared from the
western theater for transportation
to the Italian front, it was learn
ed today.
Italian Ambassador di Celere, in
a personal conference with Secre-
tary of War Baker emphasized
that the advantage Of American
forces against the Austrians would
be to discourage the invaders who
have been fed by Germany with
the propaganda that the United
States is not in sympathy with
Italy.
Secretary Baker, 1t Is stated,
has approved American participa-
ton in the fighting against Aus
tria, but is leaving the decision as
to the number Of troops to Pefsn-
ing.
A minimum force of 100000
men would be required, according
to military authorities here, and
it is felt this number could be sup
piled.
The principal danger now in the
Austrian drive is at Montello, &C.
cording to experts here. That
point must be held at all costs,
they say.

Indication that the American
Federation of Labor is in COM
plete sympathy with the attitude
of the Commercial Telegraphers'
union, in its controversy with the
Western Union was seen today in
a telegram sent by President

CARLlNE IS
OUT OF CASH
Out of funds!


That's the condition of the
Tacoma street railway today. AS
result, all new construction
work on the city's line will cease
on Thursday, payday for city en-
ployes.
While the railway is said to be
earning a neat profit, the operat-
ing revenue cannot be used to
pay for new construction, and un-
til some means are devised for
further financing the railway all
contemplated improvements must
cease.
1t will even be necessary to
borrow money from the receipts
of the line to pay off the con.
struction crew Thursday.
