Missouri River
Starts at Once
Ultimate Development of Six-Foot
Channel to Sioux City
Chief Aim.
Washington, April 2. Systematic
work on Missouri river development
will begin in the vicinity of Kan
Gas City, Omaha and Sioux City with
in the next few days, with Major
G. R. Young, army engineer, assist
ed by more than a score of engineer
ing experts in directing the spring
work.
A general campaign will be in
augurated on the river, the depart
ment explained, with its chief aim
as the ultimate development of a
six-foot channel as far as Sioux City.
Although this will mark the first ac
tivity toward actual deepening of the
channel to this depth, authorized by
the rivers and harbors act of 1927,
the department expressed itself as
optimistic that the Missouri will be
open for navigation "within a few
years."
It was pointed out by the depart
ment that the work of last year and
previous years on the upper river has
been of a "local character." It has
constituted chiefly of removing snags
and protecting weak spots due to
bank cavings. Also a few bends have
been protected by dikes and revet
ments. Altogether, the effects of the
Improvements heretofore have ben
logical and negligible. No work as
yet has been done on the six-foot
channel, nor have any expenditures
been made with this end in view up
until now, officials announced.
The spring season will bring the
change in policy, which will mean
that direct steps toward the event
ual opening of the "upper Missouri
fiver for barge transportation will be
begun.

BETTER PAY FOR CARRIERS
Washington, April 2. A general
upward revision of the salaries of
rural mail carriers who served more
than nne vear was asked todav in a
bill today by Representative Brown
ing, democrat, Mississippi. He pro
posed that carriers on twenty-four
mile routes, after the first year of
service, be granted a yearly increase
of $100 with a minimum limit of
$2,100. A proportionate increase also
was proposed under similar condi
tions for carriers operating on all
routes of less than twenty-four miles.
REVEALS KLAN PLOTTING
Michigan City. Ind., April 1. The
rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan
, was-Teyealed in detail today-by David
1 C'iSteph'eason, . once , second in'com
mand of the" national iKlan.
Allegations that floggings, burn
ingsat the stake and lynchings, pill
aging of Catholic churchs. corruption
of public of public officials, and cou
ntless other crimes were committed
and sanctioned by the klah are con
tained in formal! sworn deposition
given by Stephenson under order of
Judge V. H. S. Thomson of the Uni
ted States district court of Pennsy
lvania.
"It is the first and the real un
masking of the Ku Klux Klan," said
officials who discussed the deposition.
Washington, March 30. Inland,
waterway transportation in the mid
dle west was pictured as having a
rosy future today before the house
commerce committee which is con
sidering the Denison bill to extend
the government barge lines into
tributaries of the Mississippi.
Major General T. Q. Ashburn,
executive director of the Inland Wa
terways corporation, which operates
the government lines, forecast that
the system will show a profit this
year for the first time in its three
years of existence.
Representative William E. Hull
(rep., 111.), declared that with sus
tained development the government
lines can be sold in 25 years to
private inerests at twice their value.
Will Call Ashburn Again.
Both witnesses said cheap water
transportation is essential to devel
opment of the middle western and
Mississippi valley agriculture and in
dustries. Hull depicted water trans
portation as a factor in stimulating
trade in manufactures with South
America, and as equalizing competi-

Illinois and St. Croix rivers and the
Illinois waterway and the Hennepin
canal.
Objection Heard.
Objection to the proposed water
way development on the ground that
it might tend to lower the level of
the Great Lakes was voiced by Rep
resentative Mapes (Mich.) a republi
can member ef the committee, but
Hull declared that Michigan and
other Lake states would only injure
their own welfare if they did not
support the waterway development.
He argued that the bage lines on a
profitable basis were establishment
of just Joint rates between rail and
water carriers and construction of
terminals at river cities to handle
the traffic. World-Herald.
