his home at Scottsbluff for many
years and who is a very competent
carpenter and builder, is doing the
work for his son. We met the elder
Miller and who is a very fine gentle
man and a first class workman. When
Mr. Miller, sr., shall have completed
the home for the son, he is expecting
to depart for California, where he
will make his home. A daughter and
sister of E. O. Miller, Mrs. Verne
Spangler, who has been making her
home at Scottsbluff, departed on last
Thursday for California, where she
will be joined later by the father and
they will make their home there in
the future.
Wai Have Pleasant Visit.
L. M. Mowery, who has resided east
of Greenwood for the past 27 years,
is to enjoy a very pleasant visit in
June from two of his sisters, Mes
dames R. E. Adams of Spokane, and
J. M. Cole of Halfway, Oregon, whom
he has not seen for the past twenty
years. The family formerly resided
in Saunders county and at the time
that Mr; Mowery came to Greenwood,
they went west and while they visit
ed here once, it has now been twenty
years since they have met. The visit
will be one of very much joy to all.
They are starting from their home in
the west on June 4th.

The time was when a white pail

at that time, which was many years
since.L. M. Mowery had one about his
home east of Greenwood Time has
eaten deeply into the white fence,
and with the passing of more than
a quarter of a century since its erec
tion it has shown the effects of the
winters and summers. Last week Mr.
Mowery was removing the old time
fence which was one of beauty and
well served the purpose, and erected
a new steel lawn fence, which if it
lasts as long as the one which is just
going into the discard, will be an ex
cellent investment.
A Hustler for Business.
In the construction of the new
home which E. O. Miller is having
built in Greenwood, all the materials
are coming from the Searle Chapin
Lumber Co. yards, and in fact Mr.
Dewey Headley, the manager of the
yards, does not allow an order for a
home to go elsewhere. Many places
purchase ready cut house from mail
order concerns, and when there is
something which is not sterotyped
they are at a loss what to do. Dewey
seems to convince the trade of the
only safe way, of trading at home
and with the home business houses,
where the best goods can always be
had and at right prices. The way

Rebeckah's Elect Officers.
At the last meeting of the Daugh

The Problem
of Straightening
Missouri River
Roy T. Towl Discusses Changes That
River Has Made Toward Mak
ing Straighter Channel
The Missouri river wants to go
straight, but, like a great many per
sons, it finds there are a lot of hind
rances to this noble purpose. Fol
lowing the line of least resistance,
it has dug for itself a crooked bed,
but, as hundreds along the way can
sorrowfully testify, it will not lie in
it.
Back and forth, from side to side,
the turbid waters course down the
valley from their source. Sometimes
it is but a feeble narrow stream be
tween broad and sun-baked bars, at
other times it is a rushing torrent, a
wide and awe-insiiring sea of run
ning water.
As temperamental as a prima lon
no; as unstable and nndependable in
its present state as any wayward
soul that you may know.
What is to become of this stream,
which is feared and loved by those
who know it? This romatic water
way along whose banks brave and
pioneer have wandered?
Up and down the Missouri canoe
and steamboat, tug and fishing craft,
have made their way in years past.
Time was when big boats loaded and
unloaded at the feet of our fair city.
Creaks the raven "Nevermore!"
Roy N. Towl, civil engineer of the
firm of Towl. Nelson & Schwartz.
524 Peters Trust building, resident
of Omaha for many years and an ex
pert on waterways from an engineer
ing standpoint, writing for the
World-Herald, says the raven is a
liar.
"A five-year program will do the
work completely so that a stable
straightened channel from ankton
to Plattsmouth will connect with the
program being carried on below. The
danger of Hoods will be done away
with, and thousands of acres of valu
able land will be removed from con
stant danger."
For years hydraulic engineers
have been divided for and against
keeping a river crooked by prevent
ing cutoffs at the necks of bends.
Mr. Towl, who, for more than a
quarter of a century, has studied the
Missouri, Mississippi and tributary
streams, contends that a river s nat
ural course is the shortest distance
to its mouth. Or in other words it
would be a straighter course if local
resistance did not keep it crooked.
This resistance, he points out. in
cludes natural agencies such as topo
graphy, vegetative growth, rafts.
hard deposits, islands, man-built
structures such as levees, t-pur dikes
and revetments.
"With no great amount of .labor
and expenditure we ran accelerate
this straightening to the betterment
of navigation, and the protection of
those whose homes and farmlands
are along the course of these streams.
The Missouri river has a direct gen
eral course on the line of the Hig
Sioux river extended from Sioux City
to Kansas City. Timothy Flint, a
missionary, about 1SH), when the
first steamboat appeared on the Mis
souri, described tne stream oeiow ssi.
Charles as having the appearance of ;
i field of dead trees. There were j
many loops, and rapidly caving
hanks, while cutoffs were being made
from Omaha to Sioux City, giving
the Big Muddy its notorious reputa
tion. "Then came the flood of April.
1881, in which nature put forth her
powers and once and tor au v.ipen
out the cutofts. We have never nan
anv since, of any consequence. That
was the last great natural effort
tending to clear the way to i
straighter course.
"The winter of ISSO-Si was un
usually cold and huge quantities of
snow tell in tne mountains, aioiir
the latter part of March came hot
days, torrents of water were hurled
down the precipitous mountain can
yons. Ice in places was three and
four feet thick. A great, gorge form
ed near Yankton, and a vast la!;e
of water formed back cf the Yank
ton gorge.
"When it finally gave way. a
mighty wall of water swept down
the Missouri valley, spreading be
tween Omaha and Council Bluffs a
width of seven miles, inundating a
large part of Council Bluffs, and es
tablishing a high mark on this .side
of the river. The Union Pan he rail
road yards, machine shops, smelting
wroks and other industries were un
der eight feet of water. We are
threatened with no such floods today,
but floods dnins great damage and
the constant gnawing away of val
uable farm land by the river is go
ins on constantly. liy pettinp: rid of
these crcat loops, much of this depr-
datinn can he so controlled that with
the vigilance (hat will always hn
necessary on rivers of this kind.
great areas may be saved.
Mr. Towl says that the .Missouri
river, from the Sioux, to the Platte,
shortened its course 3o miles from
18 57 to 1927 as measured on the
Nebraska meander. The Lewis and
Clark distance of 180 4 has been
shortened 78 miles by the 1890 sur
vey of 175 miles. Since the time
when cutoffs occurred prior to 1882
the Missouri has not lengthened its
course. "The straight stretches of
the Missouri have good navigability,"
he says. "The heavy slope of 16
inches per mile below Plattsmouth
apparently has not increased the
maximum velocity over that found
above Omaha, where the slope is
eight and one-half inches per mile.
Its straight courses are also better
stablized than the crooked portions
of the river. In this case from
Plattsmouth to Nebraska City, the
straight river is less than 10 per
cent longer than a direct course and
the crooked course from Omaha to
Blair is 42 per cent longer than a
valley distance of 24 miles.
"The straight course maintains
greater width and lower flood levels.
Treacherous bends, with an over
age slope of 10 inches per mile from
Sioux City to St. Louis, eight hun
dred miles by river, have cross-currents,
turbulent flow and eddy ae
i"
on against caving banks. The nar
row bed in u bend has an appear
ance of a sloping sand dam, around
: which the river flows with high velo-

city against the caving bank with
destructive scour and erosion." Most
of these points, and more Mr. Towl
has set forth in an article entitled
"Behavior of Rivers in Alluvial Flood
Plains," published in the March 14
issue of Engineering News-Record.
He believes that fears expressed
by some, of the possibility of ex
cessive slope on tributary streams as
Uhe result of channel improvements
on the big river, are unwarranted.
"Certainly, uniformity of flow is
most desirable." he maintains. "Flow
j across the point of a bend not only
causes slack water in the bend, re
t during discharge, but it increases
i erosion and scour at the lower end of
the bend, where the channel is nar
rowed by a sloping bar formation
made by the cross-currents in ron
llict with the main stream.
"I am advised that low water at
St. Louis has been lowered four feet
by channel iuiprevement designed to
produce more uniformity of flow and
to reduce erosion.
"The Platte's slope decreases from
one hundred inches per mile to about
40 inches per mile in its course across
the state of Nebraska. However, its
Hood velocity is quite uniform. The
Missouri below Plattsmouth has
flood slopes for short distances as
great as .'50 inches per mile. These
i slopes are maintained until bars are
j sufficiently submerged and cut away
j by the rising flood water to bring
"back equilibrium between slope and
I other elements of discharge.
"With, the banks almost like brown
sugar, it should be relatively an easy
matter to maintain a straight course.
For example, there H a remarkable
section of the Missouri river above
the mouth of the Little Sioux on the
boundary of Nebraska and Iowa.
Here the straight river runs between
banks of sand on both sides there
are mi .gumbo points or heavy tim
ber. It has held this course without
protection work for more thm 50
years. The width is 0.07 mile, com
pared with 0.23 mile average width
in a. series of bends. So it is evident
that the factors of slope, width and
depth are stabilized without produc
ing excessive velocity or erosive ac
tion. Flood velocities of the Platte,
Missouri and Mississippi are sub
stantially the same, from 4 to 5
miles per hour, regardh ss of slopes.
So why is it not reasonable to con
clude that one section will function
as well after straightening as other
sections which are now straight?"
"Work as conducted in the past
has been both expensive and inade
quate. On the Kolsom bend just be
low Omaha more than a million and
a quarter of dollars have liccn spent.
The Manawa bend is moving down
stream at the rate of a mile in 30
years, and is'now threatening to
wipe out valuable farm and ranch
land. Revetment work on the Iowa
side of the Fol'som bend resulted in
changing the course of the river and
the loss of 1,500 acres of Nebraska
land straight east of La Platte in a
two-year period. At one time the cut
of the river amounted to nine hun
dred feet in 90 days, and not only
resulted in loss of land, hut life as
well. As an indication of the force
of the water at the narrow neck of
lops, in March 1917, when ice was
22 inches thick at a certain wide
stretch of the river. I found a nar
row channel just below entirely free
of ice.
"The river today makes it impos
sible for the land owner to count on
anything. Just recently I observed
house moving operations at Dp Sota.
as a result of the waters' threat. It
secmis p. great pity that the best land
in the world is worth practically
nothing because of this menace. With
adequate protective measures carried
out, it is safe to say that such land
would increase in value one hundred
dollars an acre or more, right off the
bat.
"What is to be done? Any work

irse will have to he conducted

from Yankton to Plattsmouth, with
a saving of millions in land and land
values, and all the benefits that
river navigation are bound to bring

that through which the Missouri
river flows."
Mr. Towl has had experience iu
work on the Missouri river no far
ther away than East Omaha. It was
here during the summer of 1922 that
his firm with retards and levee gave
protection to some nine miles of bot
tom land, threatened each year by
the vagaries of the big stream. 1I
has no illusions as to the necessity
of constant vigilance, work and ex
penditure along the stream, but says
that if some 10 great bends or loops
are cut. off by man-made channels
between Yankton and Plattsmouth,
and that many more are modified
the benefits will be immeasurable.
"I have been called upon to help
sr many poor land owners in their
fight to save their farm lands, that
this need for river improvement to
me is a 'vital thing. Sh poor land
owner hasn't a chance in the world,
even in groups, to fight this mighty

"But the government can step in
and reduce both an excessive first

can be saved along a one hundred
mile stretch."
