CONSERVATION 



With the sources of the Missouri 

 River wisely utilized by reservoirs, a 

 six-foot channel in the Mississippi may 

 be assured as far as Dubuque, where it 

 would contribute to and be supple- 

 mented by the systems employed for 

 improvement of navigation extending 



the entire length of the Mississippi 

 to New Orleans. 



Added to this great achievement 

 would be prevention of disastrous 

 floods and development of the water- 

 powers, the value of which cannot be 

 overstated.
