i i i 4 % CHE D AILY BEE- FRIDAY JUNE 2 1882. P LA THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI, Report of the Merchants’ Ex- change Committee, Who Visited the National Capital in the Interest of River Improve- ments, 8t. Louls Republican, May 50. The committee appointed by the Merchants’ exchange to vi-it Wash- ington in the interest of the Missis- sippi river improvement plans, reco mended by the river commission, sub- mitted to the board of directors the following formal report concerning their efforts before the proper con- gressional committee: To the President and Board of Dircctors of the Merchants’ Exchange: Gentuemes: — The undersigned, duly appointed and commissioned delegates on behalf of the Merchants’ exchange, to proceed to Washington and to labor for liberal appropriations for the improvement of the Missis- sippi river and its navigable tribu- taries, beg leave to present their re- port. Your delegates worked-particu- larly for appropriations for the Mis- sissippi, the Missouri and the Illinois rivers, as their improvement was of the greatest importance to the people of this section of the country. The end aimed at was to procure for these rivers the various sums recommended by the river commission, and by the engin- eers in charge of works not under the actual control of the commission, They persistently advocated the rec- ommendations of the commission for the amount of $4,123,000 for chan- nel improvement from Cairo to New Orleans. The commerce committee of the houso, which have the matter in hand, have voted this amount, They have also agreed upon the sum of §600,000 from the mouth of the Tllinois to Cairo. From the mouth of the Illinois river to the Des Moines rapids they have voted $200,000; for the Des Moines rapide, $30,000; from the rapids to St. Paul, $250,000; for improvements ab)ve the falls of #@t. Anthony, $10,000; and for continuing operations on the reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi, $300,- 000. These different amounta do not include appropriations for the various harbors along the river nor for the building and operating of snag-boats. The whole amount is given solely for the improvement of the channel of the Mississippi, IN THE INTERESTS OF NAVIGATION, The commerce committes have also voted $8Q0,000 for the improvement of the channel of the Missouri ‘river from its mouth to Sioux City, Towa, and $250,000 for the Illinois river. The' total amount is three times greater than was ever obtained from the central government at any one session previous to this; and there is 10 doubt that these sums voted by the committee will meet the approval of both branches of the national legisla- ture. Your delegates desire, in making their report, to mention some of the obstacles which had to bo overcome to accomplish these desired results. There are some members of congress who opposed these appropriations in interests not favorable to fgne granting of aid for the improvement of any waterway which was likely to become a formidable rival in transportation. This class, were few in number, wnd their opposition much less than formerly. They had little inclina- tion to resist the power of the public sentiment of the west upon the ques- tion, There was, however, another class of onemies who made themselves felt by a most determined opposition to the plans of the river commission. The methods employed by these men men to cirry out their project were AS BASE AND AS UNJUST as were ever used. They were led by Jobn Cowden, who made a bitter fight against not only the plans adopted by the - commission, but ainst the competency and skill of the whole ongineer corps of the United States. Cowden and his party are what might be termed speculators in ri improvemeut. presented what is called the ‘‘outlet plan” asa substitute for the plan already in- augurated by the commission, and, although this ‘‘outlet plan” was clearly shown to be impractical, dan- gerous and contrary to all scientific knowledge affecting the matter, and contrary to the experience of every one who had studied carefully the phenomena of the current of the Mus- sissippi river, nevertheless he was able to collect around himself a nuwm- ber ot active members of the house, who labored incessantly for the pro- motion of his scheme, Cowden, not content with a presen- tation of his plan to the committee, and allowing it to be passed upon ac- cording to its merits, commenced in the Washington newspapers, in order to prejudice members against thew, a most violent attack both upon the plans aad upon the characters and rep- utations of the individual members of the cominission, and he used language ainet them which, considering their high position, was an offonce against common decency and unfit to be quo- ted in this report, Some members gave aid to bis plan as » disguise for their hostility to river improvement, well knowing that if the two plaus, antagonistic to each other could be adopted, both would certainly fail, At one period of the controversy it seem- ed as if Cowden would accomplish his objeot, THE PERIL TO OUR INTERESTS was imminent, and your delegates were obliged to resort to a most thor- oush exposare ef his whole scheme; and when that exposure culminated ina series of questions put to him which he answered before the comuit- tee, there was not a member of it but comprehended that Cowden's interests in the improvement of the Mississippi’ river depended upon the amount of money he could obtain from the na- l.u:nlly treasury for his own aund the advantage of his associates This fact being made apparent by his own un- g confessions, his schewme failed and the recommendstions of the viver commission triumphed. It is bolieved that had it wot been for the work of your dolegates, and those working with thew, his would have succeeded, and the of our labors and that of the m.d the Mississip valley, who labored for years for the projer improvement of the western water- ways, would, for this scason at least, have proved a failure. Better judg ment, however, prevailed, and we be- lieve from this time forward the com- bined power of the enemies of river improvement will be unable to thwart the just demands of ‘the people, and the channels of these rivers will fiaal- Iy bo made safe and navigable through- out the whole year, and thus by open, free and unbindered navigation, cheap transportation of the bulky products of the west will be secured. Public try like ours is only another name for political opinion, and that opinion * | now demands recognition of our claims upon this great question of river im- provement, and it is able to enforce it by ballot. Joun Hoeaxw, jeonee L. WriaHT, The report will be acted upon by the board of directors at their next meeting. — No Matter What Happens You may rest assured that yon are eafe in heing speedily cured by THoMAS' ELECTRIO O11,, in all cases of rheumatism, neuralyin, toothache, eto.

Cenrrar Urry, Neb., May 30.— Merrick county 1s general and Central City in particular, are moving along and keeping pace with the progressive age. Notwithstanding a very wet spring has been our lot, crops look splendid. A light snow on the 22d varied the monotony; but beyond caoling things did no damages, Many fine residences are being built in Oentral City, In fact we have already many of that sort, and with additions beiog made, we can lay claim to having the prettiost town onthe U, P. To add toits beauty are the hundreds of trees, of which we believe Central City has more than any other town of its size in all Ne- braska. C. W, Adams, U, P. agent, is beautifying his residence by building a large addition. Merrick county gets over $20,000 yearly from the Union Pacific in taxes, L. C. McBride, of Iowa, a brother of Gen. J.

Dotrolt Free Press, One day in 1864 Senator Zich Chan- dler was a passenger on the train from Owosso to Lansing, and, strangely enough, 1o one in the car had any idea of his identity. Two men had the seat behind him, and from talking of war they drifted tv polities, and, naturally enough, Chandler's name becamo mixed up. Both men were red-hot againet him, and directly one of them observed: “It’s a wonder to me that some one doesn’t shoot the old blood-letter.” “Oh, he'll get his dose yet, and don’t you forget it!” replied the other. The senator turned slowly around, took a good look at both, and then said: “‘Gentlemen, please speak a little lower—I am Senator Chandler my- self!"” He thought he had them frozen solid, but he was mistaken. He had scarcely turned his head when one of them leaned forward and replied: “‘That's all right, pard, it you can beat the conductor with it; but don't try to stuff us! We met the old chap back in Owosso nct an hour ago, wait- ing to go east, and it cost me $22 in cash and a silver watch to call his hend!

Those looking for homes in the west should not fail to give our county a vinit, for they are sure to be satisfied with its rare beauty and productive- ness, and those looking for business openings will go for and search a long while before they surpass or even equal Central City, This fact is attested by the number of new acqui- sitions to our business circles. The Omaha Herald recently stated that there were chinch bugs in Mer- rick county. If there ever were any they were soarce, and the recent wet weather has been a “‘deadener” on all inseot peats, We think Central City can boast of the handsomest court yard in the state without exception.

He was mounted ona horse and had just thrown the lasso around the head of the steer, when the latter gave a sudden turn in behind a tree while running at full speed. As the horse wi lso on the run and the rope was entangled around one of the young man’s hands, it was evident that when the rope tightened on the tree the rider would be jerked in a mannor that would probably result ath.
