THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE ?

More Drainage Matters .
by R. Eo Grinstead
" . . Many persons living I in the west
' . end of the county have an idea
; , , I that when thc : Mo. River has a
'maximum raise then the Ncmaha
. :
. .
.
It. . back water
with
I River is affected
as far up as Salcm. 'l'hc time
, was whcn many Salcm people believed -
licvcd that at thc Exchange Milts
alms City is at thc level line of
back watcr. Now .Saletn pcoplc
1 don't believe that way. 'l'hcy
I have been invcstigating. Salem
pcople also know that a maximum
I raise ' in Mo. River docs not affect
thc Hood line in thc Ncmaha
\ River more than a few hundred
i
I feet above thc mouth of thc
t Ncmaha : Rivcr.
1 If both rivers were at maximum
flood title at thc saute time which
would be a coincident not likely
. ' - to happen in a century , even then
thc flood in thc Ncmaha would
bc niodlflecl in thc Ncmaha by thc
saute for only a few hundred feet
abo\'c. A maximum raise for Mo.
River is 20 feet and only once in
40 years , on an average , does ( it
reach this lleig-ht. The average
annual maximum ; raise is 15 fect.
Once , in every few years there
is no noticeable annual raisc in
the \1o. at thc usual timc which
is about June. 'l'hese facts arc
all well known and arc compiled
from statistics furnished by U.
S. Geodc(1 survey rcports.
'l'hcy arc given here to correct
entertained
an erroneous opinion
by peoplc throughout thc county.
' ' - used somewhat
'l'he samc : is beingused
as a supposed reason why thc
disastrous effects of our overflows
may not at all times be eliminated -
ed by thc methods discussed in
these articles on drainag-c.
It is a pleas : ngfact and wc
take delight now in enunciating
the same that about aU opposi-
tion to . these . inlproveulents i on
account of any fear formerly entertained -
tcrtaincd , that others than the

improvements made 'l'hc good
results will be to all in furnish-
ing- thc only possible solution of
having good roads across these
bottom lands and that at a maxi-
mum , cxpcnse to all tax payers.
It is also pleasing to know that
whcn these improvcmen arc
madc that all owners of bottom
lands may plant and sow confi-
dcntly expected to reap thc har-
vest that others dOi ; and that at
thc same time they arc collcctive-
ly thc benefactors , not only of
their own interests but of that of
the entire county.
It is also a pleasing fact to
know that thc concurrcdt t opinion
of all who have had experience
along this line is that results arc
always good and that \\'e ma.y
know in ad\'ance just what they
will be. It is also significant to
us of thc best results because of
thc facts that the natural environments -
.
onmcnts such as gradient , and
alltt 'ial soil , in many places a.
limestonc. rock in bottom and
bank as a factor to aid in the
controling- the forces of nature
and conserving thc same in tak-
ing- care of our channel when
it shall have been intelligently
made.
l emember then this the new
channel will be located by a com-
petcnt civil engineer at the right
place. Nobody will be damaged
by this location but all will bc
bene 1 tcd.
'his will be done indepl'ndent-
ly of what you or 1 may wish to
say. The best general results
will be conserved by thc action of
thc engineer in chargc. The .
best local and indh'idual results
of thc particular land owner is to
thc lands through which the
channel is located , howcvcr much
he may bc averse to thc samc.
In Salem . township wc have
three land owners who are each
actull\ ' anxious to have thc channel -
nel made through his own lands.
When thc same hall have been
completed , all will see why this
is so. It is because it is best for
all and will be especially beneficial -
cial to thc lands of thc particular
owner. Yours truly ,
