Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Waterways Problem The report of the Inland Waterways Commission, appointed by the President in March of 1907, again calls attention to the urgent need of some drastic measures which will relieve the coun try from the inadequate facilities for the removal of the enormous tonnage which the nation produces. In referring to the report in his message the President characterizes it as the conservative, sane and just judgment of a body of exceptionally well qualified ex perts, and adds that if it errs-at all it is by over-conservatism. The subject of which it deals is of critical importance, both to the present and to the future of our country. Being in full accord with these sentiments and realizing the urgency of a speedy conclusion which shall make provision for the opening of the magnificent systems which the United States af fords for internal transportation by water, it seems appropriateto review briefly the actual situation and the remedies suggested. Not in a spirit of criticism, but with a View to an early remedy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem Classic Reprint written by Henry Joshua Pierce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem This is a personal appeal for water power legislation. The author confesses that he has an old-fashioned ambition to do a constructive thing - to assist in the creation of an industrial opportunity in a neglected place and to make homes on land now silent. He also cherishes a hope of reasonable and wholesome reward. These are two honorable incentives which have, from the beginning of things, animated individual effort. Some people re gard such motives distrustfully but it cannot be believed that such sentiments which, if manifested in an earlier day, would have impeded or stifled our greatest commercial achievements, will long survive in the present day. Therefore, the author will state his case in all frankness and be confident that those who cannot accept his conclusions will have no reason to misconstrue his purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Right Problems of Bear River The present bulletin is largely a statement of these interstate ques tions as illustrated in the Bear River Valley. This river was chosen for study because in its course of a little over 300 miles it crosses State lines (wyoming, Idaho, and Utah) five times, finally emptying into Salt Lake, which is less than 50 miles distant from its source, thus present ing in small compass a great variety of interstate problems, and offering exceptional opportunities for the inauguration of this class of inquiries.

Download or read book Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea written by O. H. Peters and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report of the United States National Waterways Commission, 1910 The National Waterways Commission, composed of twelve members of the Senate and House of Representatives, was created by act of Congress Of March 3, 1909. The duty imposed upon it by statute was to investigate questions pertaining to water transportation and the improvement Of waterways, and to make recommendations to Congress. The commission has had under consideration the topics assigned to it, and has held numerous meetings, both in the United States and Europe. Seven 'of the twelve members took a somewhat ex tended tour for the examination of European waterways in the months from August to October last. In addition, a majority of the members of the commission examined the Mississippi River from St. Paul to New Orleans in November, 1909, and some of them also, during the same month, inspected the Missouri River from Kansas City to its mouth, and the Illinois River from its lower portion up to the head of navigation. It may be added that the commis sion includes in its membership Senators or Representatives who at different times during the last ten years have examined nearly all of the waterways Of the United States. Consequently its mem bers are enabled to bring to the consideration of the problem a very considerable familiarity with the waterways both of the United States and of Europe as well. The commission has been aided in the course of its investigations by Officials detailed from the War and Navy departments, and has Obtained the assistance Of other experts in waterway transportation. In the framing of this report, especial aid has been rendered by rear-admiral C. S. Sperry, Of the Navy Department; Col. W. H. Bixby, and Maj. F. A. Mahan, retired, of the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army; and also by Prof. Frank H. Dixon, Of Dartmouth College, and Mr. E. O. Merchant, Of' Columbia University. Numerous inquiries have been sent to com mercial bodies and waterway improvement associations, most of which have met with a cordial response. The officials Of European countries, in which waterway systems have been developed, and our consuls abroad, have rendered generous aid in the furnishing of material and in affording suggestions.
