Upper Missouri Waits for Chance to
Carry Freight, Says Board
Omaha Is Included
Potential ports on the upper Mis
souri for federal barge line activi
ties, following the development of
an adeo.uate channel, are cited by
the United States shipping board
in a report to the board of rivers
and harbors here today.
The Missouri statistics have been
gathered in connection with a wide
survey of transportation in the Mis
sissippi and Ohio valleys, including
tributaries, made by the shipping
hoard in accordance with the mer
chant marine act of 1920.
Coming at a time when it is gen
erally predicted that the regular
resion of congress in December will
make provisions for rapid consum
mation of the six-foot channel pro
ject as far as Siuox City, as part of
a nation-wide' program of inland
waterway development, the report is
said to be especially signficant.
In dealing with the Missouri, the
reort makes the following general
comment:
Lists Many "Ports."
"River ports on the lower Mis
souri river are St. Charles, Wash
ingtos, Hermann, Gasconade,
Jefferson City, Boonville, Glas
gow, Waverly and Kansas City.
"Ports on ' the middle river
are Leavenworth, St. Joseph,
Plattsmouth. Omaha, Decatur
and Sioux City.
"The upper river ports are
Cannonbali, Bismarck, Deapolis,
Mannhaven Wasburn and Ex
pansion, and one port on the
Osage river at Bagnell. All of
the foregoing ports had some
water goirfg traffic in 1926.
There are several additional
places with potentialities as
ports, some of which arc listed
in the general tables.
"Municipal facilities exist at Kan
sas City, and consist of a wharf, a
louomotive crane, and a warehouse.
The town of Hermann owns two
small warehouses lodated at the river
front. River frontage for publir use
is owned by the cities of St. Char
les, Washington, New Hoven. Her
mann, Jefferson City, Boonville,

"Rail and water interchange may

"Known developments are the re
placement of the Kansas City muni
cipal terminal with a larger and
modern layout. The plans proposed
include package handling equipment
and storage, bulk handling equip
ment and storage, and a floating
wharf, all with railroad and street
connections.
"Sioux City, Omaha and St. Jo
seph are actively interested in utili
zation of river potential facilities.
From 1911 to 1927 the.volume of
water borne commerce between Kan
sas City and the mouth Increased
from 307,807 tons to 551,281 tons
From Kansas City to Sioux City for
the same period, the volume rose
to 118,492 tons from 9C.287 tons
This bulk increase, despite inade
quate channel development, consid
erably offsets the decrease, from 20,
913 tons to 9,20! tons, shown from
Sioux City to Fort Benton, due to
the poor navigation conditions.
WILL PRESENT PLAY
The Finance Committee of the
Woman's club are planning several

Show Up Wei! in
Scrimmage Game
Beefy Aggregation of South High
Are Opponents of Platters
and Win 18 to 0
Cn.ni Ht"rdayii ViaUv
Yesterday afternoon the Platts
mouth high school football team had
their first real working out cf the
season when they scrimmaged with
the South high team cf Omaha as
their opponents and while the score
showed the result of IS to 0 it was
a good showing for the local boys
I against their vastly heavier foes,
i The mid-summer weather also did
f not aid inv pepping up either team
land made the game most uncom
fortable for the players.
The Plattsmouth team looked very
good against the Packers and pre
sented one of the best fronts that
the team has had with the promise
of real development ere the season
has progressed very far.
In the playing yesterday Gilbert
Hirz, Hershel and Hubert Dew show
ed especially well while the linemen
all played a good game, John Gallo
way, George Stoll, Warren Farmer
and Allan Warren with Ira Mumm
at the center position being the
guarding factors of the Plattsmouth
stone wall.
The Packers had the decided ad
vantage on their extremely heavy
first string force and against the
drives of the South Sider.s the lighter
Plattsmouth team suffered as the
Packers not only are large but have
some very clever and shifty players
in their lineup. The workout against
as good a team as South, however,
was of much value to the locals as
it learned the appreciation of their
foe which a weaker team would not
have given.
When Coach Patton cf South sub
stituted the. second string team of
his squad the Platters made a strong
showing against tbem and were able
to gain through their' defense as
well as checking the offensive of the
Packers.
Taken as a whole the Platters
look good for an excellent season
and should be able to successfully
maintain the honor of the blue and
white on the gridiron for the season
The local team will play Pacific
Junction here on Monday afternoon
if the weather permits and the first
game of the season schedule will
be here on next riday when the
blue clad warriors of crelghton Prep
come for the opening of the regular
season.
Incidently the ball park shows im
provement as the result of the work
of the volunteer donations of time
and labor by the enterprising friends
of the team as well as the school
force, but the park is still far from
a good playing field
School Holds Its
Drive for Football
and School Paper i
Seniors Lead in the Athletic Drive
With the Sophomores Lead
ing in Platter Drive
From Saturday's Pally
This week in the high school the
drive has been on to support the

as well as to get back of the Platter,
the school paper, for the term and
as the result a great deal of inter
est was shown by the members of
the various classes.
In the football drive the seniors
came through practically iuo per
cent while the Juniors and Sopho
mores were well over fifty per cent
for the drive, the Sophomores scor
ing second place. The Freshman
class cf newcomers trailed the re
mainder of the classes with some
thing over twenty-five per cent. The
tickets for the five home football
trames are sold at $1 each for the
students and $1.50 for the general
public. -These tickets are still avail
able and the school authorities hope
to dispose of considerably, more of
these tickets before the opening
game on next Friday.
In the Platter drive almost all of
the students were back of the paper
and will enjoy receiving the school
organ during the coming season. In
this the Sophomores led the other
classes. This year the Platter will
be under the direction of D. C.
Thornton of the commercial depart
ment of the high school and the
nitial Issue of the term will appear
the coming week.

PUTTING DOLLARS TO WORK
Investment has been defined as
the productive employment of cap
ital. It is nothing more or less than
putting dollars to work.
As our industrial civilization de
velops and grows more complex, the
need and demand for concentrated
capital grows greater.
The ordinary citizen today plays
a more important part in industrial
finance than ever before. The day
when great industries could be con
trolled by a few men of wealth has
passed. No financier, or group of fln
nanciers. could conceivably possess
the amount of money necessary to
the inauguration and growth of a
modern electric utility, for example,
or an automobile manufacturing
company. This capital must be sup
plied by millions of citizens, in all
walks of life, and of almost every
financial status.
This modern trend of "specula
tion" on the part of our citizens has
created a group of critics who see ln
it only a menace. But spectulatlon.
In the modern sense, means invest
ment of savings in industries that
provide necessities and luxuries of
daily life. It creates new businesses
and aids ln growth and maintenance
of old ones. It is the institution on
which our progress, socially and in
dustrially, depends.
The fact that millions of people
are buying for investment sound
stocks and bonds from reputable
brokers and bankers, is one of the
most optimistic signs of the times.
Its possibilities have yet been un
imagined. THE TELEPHONE IN
EUROPE AND AMERICA
Each of the eight American cities
with a population of over 1,000,000
has more than half as many tele
phones as all Europe,' according to a
recent survey. About 60 per cent of
all telephones used are in this coun
try. . ' . -
While during a recent: year' tns
average of telephone calls per capita
was 22 4.7 in the United States, in
Germany it was but 35.5, in Breat
Britain 28.6 and in France, 17.2.
In Europe nearly 8S per cent of
the telephones are owned and oper
ated by the . governments . Develop
ment has been so slow the average in
1927 was but 1.8 telephones per hun
dred persons. In the United States
there were 15.8 instruments per hun
dred. A further interesting feature of the
report is the fact that rural telephone
service is almost unknown in Europe.
London and Paris have more than
one-third of all telephones in Eng
land and Franco. In this country, on
the other hand, there were 12.2 tele
phones per hundred in communities
of les3 than 50,000, in 1927.
