cused Of having permitted his

IS, was held for trial on a charge

treatment under any circum-
stances and that be called the
physician only under pressure OF

their friends that the child would

Nebraska Commercial Bodies
Take Up Flood Control and

S. G. Porter. Of McCook. Nebraska.
was here to interview Governor Sha-

today. on having North Dakota rep

ment conference at McCook, Janu-

Mr.. Porter. who represents the
Twin Valley Association Of CONNER
cial clubs. has paid similar visits to
the capitals Of Colorado, Wyoming.
Kansas, Montana and North Dakota.
and he left here to visit the governor
of South Dakota. All the other states
have assented to the idea. Either
their governors or representatives Of
the state administrations will attend
the conference.
The project which the Nebraska
commercial bodies are backing is
flood control Of the upper reaches Of
the Missouri. with navigability and
irrigation as byproducts.
The territory involved represents
1S per cent Of the drainage Of the
mississippi basin between the Red
river Of the south and the source Of
the Mississippi, westward from that
river to the Rocky mountains, and that
Is 40 per cent Of the area of the

In connection with the talk of pro-
posed river improvement, the Asso-
citation of Commerce has received
acknowledgment from George r.

this area. that he has noted the as
s~ociaticn's opposition to any river
project inimical to navigability. stated
in a letter to him andcr date Of De-

reply:
mo question is receiving more Of
my time and attention just now, than
the investigation Of plans for the i'm

surcd that no project will be econ
mended for approval by me which
even remotely appears to decrease the
engineering possibility Of securing a
