A delegation of Missourians
headed by M. L. Francis of
Glasgow, and including repre-
sentative citizens of Slater and
Marshall, are to appear before
the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee in both House and SEN
ate, probably this week, to urge
that immediate action be taken
to prevent the Missouri river
cutting a new channel and, be-
sides destroying some of the
best farming lands in Saline and
Howard counties, work serious
injury to the three towns men
toned.
Representative R. G. Patter-
son of the Seventh District, has
arranged a hearing for his con-
stituents before the House Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors,
and has conferred with Senators
Reed and Spencer, asking that
they be present. Senator Reed
is particularly anxious to attend
this hearing and, if deemed de-
sirable, will arrange a hearing
for this delegation before the
appropriate committee in the
Senate having charge of river
and harbor improvement.
1t is recognized here that how
ever urgent the necessities NAV
be the delegation Of citizens. as
well as the Missouri delegation
in Congress, is likely to expert
ence some difficulty in prevail
ing upon Congress to grant al
sufficient appropriation to con-
fine the river to its established
channel. Congressman from
ether states not interested in thet
possible d%epredations of the ,
Missouri or any other river, in !.
sist that the federal government !,
should not be called upon to !
curb this stream and that mon
ey cannot be legally appropria- !
ted for river work on the Mis- :
souri,, save as a means to i'm a
prove navigation.
Senator Reed, however, who 6
is one of the organizers of the
River Bloc" in the ~
is prepared to insist that
the curling Of the river and its
improvement for navigation; in
this instance at least, amount to
the same thing. In a prelimina- =
ry consideration of this propo- !
the Senator points out
that if the river is allowed to "
a new channel the thousands :.
Of dollars heretofore spent by !
the government along its banks .
in Saline and Howard counties :
will be lost. {.
If the committees of Congress
prove obdurate it is anticipated
that members of the Missouri
delegation, which includes some
Of the strongest advocates of t
improvement, will carry e
The fight into the House and a
Thus the question of k
sufficient money to |
'estrain the Missouri river to n
is established channel may be n
me of the important issues in G.
debate over the rivers and a
bill.
