IOWA CITIES
PREPARE FOR
BARGE ROUTE
Water Front Facilities Being
Constructed BY Municipali-
ties Along River

Dubuque, Ia, Jan. 17.-R)-Aftcr
half century Of waiting and hop
ing, Iowa cities along the upper Mis-
sissippi river will realize their hopes
this snring when government bargcs
VIII start operating north from St
Louis.
SO there is great stir now in the
cities to build water front facilities
and take full advantage of the trans
portation that was old when the coun-
try was young but is new now.
Major river points affected arc Du-
buque. Davenport, Burlington, Gin
ton, Muscatinc, kcokuk and Fort Ma
olson, all excellent harbor cities.
At Dubuque, ground is being
broken for river front freight ter
minal the first unit of which is to he
"omnlcted by February l. and the
final unit by April 1. A department
of public docks was created by vote
of the citizens, November ..
The Dubuque terminal will re-
present an investment estimated at
100000. City officials have devoted
much time to study of river ship
ping and forecast additional water
front improvements. A grain clcva-
tor is included in the project.
Button Factories to Benefit
Muscatine already has waterfront

trackage and pavement has been laid

will be installed to supplant a tenn
porary device now established there.
Button factories there. largest in the
world. expect to benefit greatly from
cheaper import off raw material and
export Of the finished product via the
Mississippi river. Sand and gravel
plants have announced they will util-
ne the barge lines in shipment of
product.
At kcOkuk extensive preparations
have been made, with the creation of
a levee commission under the state
law. the first objective. The commits
sion will handle all affairs of the
riverfront and terminals. The gov
eminent has blasted out jutting ledge
rock from the river bank, making pos
sible the landing Of large boats at
average water level. A 1T" shaped
pier will be built, us well as floating
docks. Loading apparatus will be in
stalled on the pier. The channel
now is Is feet deep compared with
IL feet before the work began last
summer.
Davenport still is at loss to know
whether it is included as a station of
the barge lines. Plans of the city's
lcvee, one of the best north of st.
Louis, together with water soundings
and a statement of loading and un-
leading facilities have been for
wardcd to officers in charge Of the
barge lines, but no reply has yet
been received as to decision of the
barge line company so far as Davcn-
port is concerned.
Other Iowa river cities have made
similar preparation for the coming
of the bargcs.

Brave Effort at Rescue
The mother had evidently made a
brave effort to rescue her children,
the story of her heroism pieced to-
gcther by Fire Chief Clark and DR..
F. w. S. Raitcr, coroner of Carlton
county, disclosed. She was partly
dressed as were the three children
whom she had guided toward the
door.
The fire department, summoned by
a call from ncighbor boy wht dis
covered smoke coming from the
place, arrived at the cottage on the
upper Scanlon Road, nearly half a
mile from the city limits, to. find the
nearest fire hydrant was mile
away and little could be done. In
tense heat made rescue impossible.

HEALTH HEAD
GIVES FACTS
ON MATERNITY
WhittemOre Declares 80 Per
Cent Of M9ternal Deaths in
State Are Preventable

At least 33 per cent Of the 50 ma
tcrnal deaths which occurred in
North Dakota in 1926 were prevent
able, DR.. A. A. Whittemorc, head OF
the state department of health. de-
clared in q statement issued today.
These deaths were caused by igno-
rance Of the early danger signals and
delay in taking the proper precau-
tionary measures on the part of the
prospective mother, the statement de.
clares.
1T is the duty of every mother ia
guide and shape the destiny Of her
child until such time as It is able
to stand upon it's own resources" the
statement says. Anything which
prematurely shortens this period, cs.
pccially if the death Of the mother
comes from known preventable
causes, is a crime against our present
day civilization.
''In 1924 there were 212 deaths due
to premature births and 231 in 1925,
with the attendant dangers to the
mother and loss of life to the state.
A very large per cent Of these were
from prevcntablc causes.
I'm 1924 there were 974 deaths of
infants under year old and 1908 in
1925. The 1926 figures arc not yet
compiled. Our infant mortality rate
for every 1000 live births averages
about 70 1t should not be over 80
to compare favorably with some of
the foreign countries having we'll
supported health departments--and
before whom we az "a nation are i'm
clined to strut over supposed superb
or attachments"
The statement declares that lit is
the duty Of every citizen interested
in saving lives of many of the moth
iers and infants to get these facts be-
fore your senator's and representa-
tivcs before it is too late"
