done by the railway company will en-
danger the low lands. particularly in
the "Pcppersauce Bottom region In
flood times by turning the current OF
the river toward the north bank.
1t was announced by the Chieftain
some six weeks ago that the Rio
Grande company was doing a vast
amount OF steam shoveling on the side
of It's right of way Just below the
Garlic bridge, and that the dirt was
being used to grade up ground for
trackage west OF the union station.
this for the purpose of laying about
four miles OF additional freight train
tracks.
1t was stated yesterday by parties
bringing the matter to the attention OF
the county commissioners. that some
portion of this yardage is being made
by dumping in the river. The COM
missioners stated that they would
look into the matter. II was stated
also that the city commissioners will
do likewise,
