Lock and Dam 19. (Lockmaster, Keokuk, Iowa.) The locks and dam 
can be seen from the towns of Keokuk, Iowa, or Hamilton, Illinois on U. S. 
Route 136. This is one of the best places to find wintering eagles. 
Lock and Dam 20. (Lockmaster, Canton, Missouri.) Can be viewed from 
Meyer, Illinois, from top of dike at the river edge of town. However, the 
best view is that from Canton. The river can be crossed on the ferry between 
the two towns. The car ferry runs from March 15 to December 15, daily 
from the hours of 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. The charge is $1.00 per car one 
way, or $1.50 for a round trip. A city park furnishes ample parking next 
to the ferry landing. 
Lock and Dam 21. (Lockmaster, Quincy, Illinois.) From the south edge 
of town on Route 57, turn right towards the river, 2.3 miles away. Look for 
shore birds in season as you travel towards the river. 
Lock and Dam 22. (Lockmaster, Route 2, Box 102, New London, 
Missouri.) The locks run from Saverton, Missouri to the Illinois side. Should 
be viewed from Missouri. From Hannibal, go south on Highway 79 to 
Saverton. This can be reached from the river road; in bad weather, stay 
on Route 79 until a sign shows the way to the locks. The locks are 1 mile 
east of Saverton. 
Lock and Dam 24. (there is no Lock 23.) Address: Lockmaster, Clarks- 
ville, Missouri. Can be conveniently viewed from Missouri only. Park in 
town and walk a short distance to the locks. The open water along the 
business district should be studied for eagles flying low or perching in 
trees across the river on the midstream islands. 
Lock and Dam 25. (Lockmaster, Winfield, Missouri.) Best viewed from 
Winfield on Highway 79. From the Illinois side, the area can be reached 
by crossing the Mississippi on the West Point Auto Ferry. This ferry is 
below Batchtown, on an unmarked road. The locks can be seen from the 
Illinois side, but it would be best to make local inquiry, as all the roads 
are unmarked. From Missouri, the locks are east of the intersections of 
State Routes 79 and 47. Go 3 miles on Missouri Road N to the shore. The 
river below the locks and dam is usually free of ice. The ferry runs the 
year around from 6:00 A.M. to 7:30 P.M. daily, except when floating ice 
is a hazard. The fare is $1.00. Ample parking, as well as modern restrooms, 
are on the Public Access Area by the locks. 
Lock and Dam 26. (Lockmaster, Alton, Illinois.) The locks are west 
of the intersection of U. S. Routes 67 and State Route 3 in Alton. The 
river can be seen from the business section of town. There is ample parking 
at Riverside Park, scene of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. 
Dam 27, Granite City. This is a rock dam which has no roller locks. 
It can be observed at the end of West 29th Street in Granite City.

DISASTER BY DEFAULT: Politics and Water Pollution, by Frank Graham, 
Jr. Evans Publishing Co., Inc., New York, N.Y. 1966. 256 pages. $4.95 
Water pollution is the most important natural resource problem facing 
the United States. The most affluent nation in the world has refused so 
far to face this urgent problem. It would take at least 40 billions to make 
a serious dent on the pollution problem, and about 95 billions (according to 
water resources experts) to restore the health of our streams and lakes.
