River Channel The Washington Citizen says: The Citizen was informed this week that Major Lytel Brown, chief of army engineers, has ordered the new federal dredges. Lewis and Clark to duty on the Missouri River to assure a six-foot channel from Kansas City to the mouth. When these big dredges are put in action they will move obstacles the current has not been able to move from the channel. In the immediate vicinity of Washington there are a number of low sand bars that need to be removed. One long bar extends to the center of the stream a-bove the new dikes built this spring below the boat landing on the Warren County side.

Up near the government supply yards there are more smaller sandbars that interfere with the boats during low water. The new dredges operate on the principle of a vacuum sweeper. Out in front will be a great maw into which will be sucked the sand and silt that obstruct the channel. Forced by enormom pumps, it will pass back through the vessel, through hundreds of feet of pipe line and be deposited wherever the engineers desire placed. It will dispose of the last of the obstructing sandbars.

One by one the hundreds of problems of the "Big Muddy" have been solved. Engineers have learned things as they have labored. There still is much tc do work that will cost in the neighborhood of six million dollars but when Secretary of War Hurley announces that he will make his initial trip upstream, the six-foot channel car not be far distant. to the high esteem in which Mr. iEckelkamp was held as a neighbor and a citizen.

Regarding the Washington to Union road, the Washington Citizen says "It was explained to these of 7 LESSON OF MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day is one of the most impressive, most touching and most typically American of the days we set apart.

From earliest childhood one remembers the gathering of old veterans, the mafch under the warm spring sun and the graveyard where gay flowers and the bright Stars and Stripes are placed at the headstones of the dead. "What hath this day deserved? What has it done that it in golden letters', should be set among the high; tides of the calendar?" It is, indeed, ah easier question for the ipoet to ask than for the average person to answer. The day symbolizes so much sacrifice and recalls those critical moments so rare in the history of a great nation that words and phrases too fail. But if we cannot express all that the day' we can let it remind us that from the birth of the Republic there havealways. been men and women who have so richly prized America that they were willing to igive up their all' that America might survive.

If the blessings of peace which these dead gained for us make similar sacrifices on our part unnecessary, they should' not blind us to the suffering which the soldiers of past conflicts, endured. Rather should they impel us to care well for the country they prized so' highly. Pride in their achievements may, indeed, be ours on this day. The American people hold in grateful memory the soldiers who fought in the French and Indian wars; soldiers and sailors of the American Revolution heroes of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War; soldiers and sailors who fought in the War for the Union, 1861-1865; veterans of the Spanish-American and the World war; soldiers and frontiersmen who fought in the Indian wars; and those hardy pioneer men and women who endured danger and privation and death by torture at the hands of savages, in order to advance A-merican civilization upon thlc continent.
