HITCHCOCK VISITS
XFLOOD DISTRICTS!
TO ASKJU. HELP
Senator to Request War De
partment; to Make Survey
Preparatory to Installation
Of New Equipment.
Senator Hitchcock, Mayor Smith,
Superintendent A. B. Hunt of the
Metropolitan water plant, County
Supervisor Louis Adam and city
and county commissioners went
through the entire flooded area of
the north river bottom lands and
Iso investigated the river and road
conditions north of the Florence
pumping station, yesterday after
noon. The senator was interested in the
situation and was convinced that
teps should be taken by the federal'
government to prevent a recurrence
of the devastation of the last few
days.
The visitors were impressed with
the necessity of protecting the high
way which leads northward from
the Minne Lusa water station. There
is one point in the road where its
cinder edge overlooks the river,
making a perilous situation for
motorists, who are warned when
traveling this road in the night time.
To Seek Immediate Relief.
Senator Hitchcock will take the
matter up with the War department
with a view to having a preliminary
.L, survey rnade and w;II do some tol-3;fsTow-up
work, to the end that some-
r thing may be done without pro
' longed delay, he said.
County and city officials will do
temporary repair work, which must
be temporary for tje most part, be
cause it is a situation that calls for
ubstantial rip-rapping and current
deflectors. The river follows a sin
iious course from a point north of
' Florence. Superintendent Hunt of
the water plant told the inspection
party that within his memory of
nearly half a century he had never
" ieen the river so wide as it was yes-
terday afternoon nortli of Florence.
Tramp Through Sand.
The officials and senator went to
. " a point along the river near where
the break occurred in Florence lake.
They tramped through stretches of
sand where automcbiles could not
be driven. The itinerary included a
trip around Carter lake boulevard
y as far as it was possible to go from
the west, bringing up at a place
where the road ahead was inundated.
The bath houses at Municipal
beach are several feet in, water and
Sandy Point is marked only by the
bathing house. The boat house of
Carter Lake club rests in the water.
Carter lake has been rising, but in
other-parts of the lowland there
, were evidences of recession of the
! water. The . river also has been
showing a lower water stage.
Three-tenths of a. foot drop was
bserved in the river yesterday at
v Sioux City and the bridge at Blair
indicated that the river stage had
lowered one foot within 24 hours. '
Joseph Hughes, custodian of Car-
ter Lake club, said that the lake con
tinued to show -a 'rise,-wfckh was
glower than observed durmg Mon
wtay. The lake water rose yesterday
at the rate of pne-tourth of an inch
an nour, as against an men an nour
on Monday. Mr. Hughes believes
that the crest of the flood has
passed. The club's bowling alley
' and motion picture theater were
flooded and the water reached the
wall of the dance pavilion. Many of
the residents of the club grounds
were bailing out their cellars yester-
. day.
Men and boys are spearing fish in
places where they may traverse in
wading boots. It is feared that
, many carp have entered Carter lake
and that these cannibal fish will eat
he bass and other desirable species.
' . The Stock Yards pumping station
tthe South Side was accessible
om the land yesterday, after hav-
htg been isolated for 24 hours.
Auto Trucks Are
Used in Shipping
Cattle and Hogs
. Owing to the growth of the de
mand for farm trucks the public
market in cities has been a great suc
cess and has provided an outlet for
.. the farmers for his garden and other
produce, according to L. J. Swanson
of Noela, la:, who was a shipper to
tfce local stock yards this week.
, "The 'Shipby-Truck' campaign Is
' getting the full support of the far
mers in my neighborhood, said Mr.
Swanson. "We had our cattle in
from a distance of 60 miles, my
neighbor, Tames Arrick, and my
aalf. He had eight head and I had
nine. The total cost of trucking
both bunches amounted to consid
H arable less than if we had shipped
Jirail. Practically everyone in mv
part of the country has their prod
uce trucked to market now and all
are well satisfied."
According to Harry Brown of
Dumfries, la., sending hogs to
market by auto beats the old way
of .waiting two weeks for a car to
snip them. He said he found it
much cheaper to hire a truck to take
the hogs to market than it is to send
. by rail and that he believed the mod-
' em , truck is the greatest help the far
mer has received from the outside
for a great many years.
. Would Seek Injunctions
In labor Suits in Iowa
Fort Dodge, la., May 18. Reso
lutions asking the Iowa state feder
ation of labor to go before the next
session of the legislature and ask
the use of injunctions in labor suits
were presented at the first session
, of the federations convention.
