First Lumber Raft To Arrive In Mid May At Mississippi River
The Littl Child of Mr and Mrs Zenker passes away from pneumonia and digestion. The infant son of Mr Otto Zenker on the cost river road died yesterday. Friends extend sympathy to the bereaved family. The first lumber raft of the season will be received by Mississippi Lumber and Box company around mid May. Steamer Lizzie Gardner will tow the raft from Minnesota forests to the city. Delays in cutting north have slowed the season and South Muscatine Lumber and Box company plant closure reduces raft arrivals along the river front.

The plan would create the corps of United States civil engineers to oversee harbor and river improvements, surveys, plans, and preservation, potentially shifting many duties from the war department. No action this session is expected, but momentum grows as river and harbor matters seek central control.
