Adds a Million
to Rush Work on
Upper Missouri
Extra Amount Proposed in Estimate
Hoover Sends Congress; Avail
able When Bill Passes
COLUMBIAN P. T. A.
Included in the 12 million dollar
supplemental appropriation estimate
sent to congress by President Hoover
today was an estimated one million
dollars for use on the upper Missouri
river, to be made available imme
diately upon passage of the defici
ency measure in which the estimate
is expected to be included.
This amount, which is in addition
to the three million dollars carried
for the upper river in the war de
partment appropriation bill now
pending:, will be used for speeding
up work as rapidly as possible in
accordance with the announced pro
groin of the army engineers tinder
Ceneral Lytle Brown.
Not to Be Drawn Back.
The funds are said to he extra al
lotment proposed for the Missouri,
and will not be drawn back out of
the war department appropriation
which will become available after
June 30. Although none of the mil
lion is expected to be applied to that
sector in the vicinity of Sioux City
and Omaha at once, the additional
amount points to the extension of
work there in the near future, it Is
believe:!.
This view Is further bolstered by
the fact that the department is now
selecting an engineer to take charge
of the Sioux City office, and will
probably direct a man there in a
short time and push work all along
the river as rapidly as possible.
To Speed Channel.
In addition to the upper river al
lotment, about two million dollars
of the supplemental appropriation
will be expended on the lower Mis
souri between Kansas City and the
mouth. 'This will expedite the final
opening of the six-foot channel for
that sector, enabling the department
to turn its undivided attention to
the section above Kansas City there
after. Steps will be taken at once to in
clude the supplemental estimate in
the deficiency bill recently reported
to congress, according to congres
sional leaders. World-Herald.

2 months and 4 days.
In 1860. she was married to
Chauncey L. Bailey, at West Liberty,
Pennsylvania, to which union there
was born three children.
In 1871, she came west with her
husband and family, stopping for a
short time near Clinton and Marion
Iowa. In 1S74, they started for Ne
braska, in a covered wagon, consum
ing about a month's time in making
the journey, finally locating near
Elmwood. where she continued to
reside until the time of her decease.
While a small girl she joined the
Lutheran church and after her mar
riage transferred her membership and
joined her husband in the Methodist
church, in which organization she
remained a true and faithful member
until her death. Her greatest Joy was
in the service of her Lord and Mas
ter, and in reading her bible when
too ill to attend the services of the
church. She was a charter member
of the Elmwood Rebekah lodge No
1SS. and took great joy in her mem
bership.
She is survived by two children.
Charles G. Bailey and Minnie I.
Clements, both of Elmwood. Nebras
ka; nine grandchildren, thirteen
great-grandchildren and a host of
relatives and friends. Her husband
and one daughter, Louella Lefler,
preceded her in death.
All the hardships and joys of the
early pioneers were hers. The rail
road was built across their farm af
ter they located in Cass county. She
knew of the grasshoppers, the drouths
and the blizzards of the early pioneer
days, but endured it all with a cour
age and cheerfulness helped by her
unbounded faith in God.
Because the road was steep
and long.
And through a dark and
lonely land -God
set upon her lips a
song.
And put a lantern in her
hand. ' '
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church on Wednesday af
ternoon and interment was made in

There has passed from the life of
the community here a life, quiet and
unassuming but one that has left its
impress upon many others with whom
this lady, Mrs. Betty Mostin, came
in touch. To her the cup of life
had held much of bitterness and in
her pages of the book of life, disap
pointment and sorrow had written
large chapters. Despite the burdens
that she had borne, the departed was
always of a cheerful nature and un
selfishly gave of her own services
and small means that she possessed
to aid others who were less fortun
ate in ber opinion, or to cheer and
make happy some child. The life
time of Mrs. Mostin was largely spent
in this community where she came
as a young woman, where she rear
ed her only child, a son. who later
was to serve and die a soldier of the
United States in the far off Philip
pines, the widowed wife and mother
receiving this last great blow with
christian fortitude and since which
time she has made her home alone
here, finding her solace in helping
as she could others whom she knew
as friends. .Her faith and confidence
was betrayed by some she had trusted
but still her faith in the general
honesty and goodness of her fellow
nian was not shaken, she passed with
the spirit of the teaching, "love thy
neighbor as thyself." The com
munity has been better for her liv
ing.

Strong Omaha Team Wins by the
Score of 32 to 18 From Local
Basketball Quintet
From Saturday's Dally
For the second time this season
the strong North high team of Oma
ha last evening scored a victory over
the Plattsmouth quintet, the score
at the final whistle bfinj? 3 2 to IS
for the Vikings.
The contest was featured by the
work of Paul Mason, one of the out
standing players of the Omaha
schools who had 14 points to his
credit as his contribution to the vic
tory of his team. For the Platters
Captain Roy Turner was outstand
ing and earned the comment of the
Omaha sport writers as one of the
cleverest guards and floor men that
has played on the North high court
this season.
The Plattsmouth team led at the
first quarter 5 to 4 but in the sec
ond period the tall and rangy Norse
men were able to add to their scor
ing to make the score at the half
10 to 8 for the North high team.
In the last half of the game Mason
was going hot and hung; up many
field goals against the Platters ami
while the locals played a good guard
ing game they were unable to suc
cessfully stop the Norsemen's ace.
This was next to the last game
of the season for the Plattsmouth
team as they are to play Kt. Francis
high school of Council Bluffs here
on next Friday evening and then
will participate in the Peru district
tournament.
As the preliminary to the main
game list night the Plattsmouth
Colts were defeated by the North
Reserves by a score of 12 to 2, Tri-
vely with two free tosses making the
only Plattsmouth scores. The larger
part of the regular reserves were
sent to Eagle to play in the tourna
ment there and weakened the re
serve force of the Platters.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:
