No grander idea has ever been sug-
gested than that proposed by our Ma
tional Survcy--to dam the canyons OF
the Rocky mountains, in order to form
vast reservoirs Of water that may be
used as needed to keep the arid lands
Of the great dry basins irrigated and
fertile. Tho plan will, If carried out,
be equally valuable in prevcn1ng
floods In the Missouri and lower Mis-
sissippi valleys. II is believed that
100000 square miles of land may thus
be reclaimed for cultivation. The ex-
tent of this may be seen by the fact
that the total extent Of land now un-
der cultivation in the United States is
less than 100000 square miles. Dams
can be constructed strong enough alb
solutely to regulate the spring flooding
retain the supply and feed it out slowly
as may be needed all summer We
shall by such works not greatly sur
pass the engineering feats of the an

Car building has become large In
dustry in the South, conditions being
highly favorable there. The manager
of large car works in Alabama is
quoted as follows: ~We can buy the
lumber here, saving transportation, as
the mills are here in the oak and yell
low pine districts. We get our lumber
at $l2 and Sl4 thousand, while the
same lumber is worth $22 and S24 at
any northern works. Besides, we get
a better class of lumber, by being
located near the mills We can buy
our pig iron here at Sl2, when it is
worth about SIG NORTH Atthe above
figures car plant consuming 5,00O,-
600 feet of lumber annually would save
from $4,000 10 10000 a year by being
situated as indicated, or s or 10 per
cent ON an investment of 100000.
There is further saving to car build
ers in the South who manufacture for
Southern roads, because they have less
freight to pay on the transportation Of
finished ears. Independent of the rail-
roads, there are now about 20 shops in
the South where cars, wheels or axlcs
are made-some works turning out all
three products. Some roads build
nearly all their own cars.

GERMAN TARIFF.

sGermany levies a tax Of $3.50 on
every 300 pounds Of beet sugar pro-
duced for "home consumption but
allows a drawback about equal to the
amount on all beet sugars exported.
The result is Germany collects inn
mense sums from the home consumers.
every dollar Of which, and more too, is
paid to the manufacturers exporting
beet sugars. Another result is the
people Of England consume four
pounds to one, and those of this coun-
try three pounds to one, consumed by
the people of Germany, who, with the
exception of Holland, pay more for
their sugar than any other Christian
uation. This Is the pattern protection
country, of which Bismarck is the
protectlonists' patron saint, Of whom
so much Is heard in this country
They are all alike the world over
The interest of the manufacturer is tn,
all-governing principle. Other people
must pay tribute to them.--Meridial

War Letters Yielding Campaign Ammu.
milton.

From the headquarters of the mill
tary division of the Mississippi, under
date of July rs, 1864, Major Gen. VIII
liam I. Sherman, addressing Col. James
Hardie, Inspector General, Washing
ton, d. G., said 81 wish to put on
record this, my emphatic opinion, that
II is an act of injustice to officers who
stand by their posts in the day of dam
ger to neglect them and advance such
as Gen. Hovey who left us in the midst
of bullets TO go to the rear in search of
personal advancement. II the rear be
the post Of honor then we had all bet
ter change front on Washington" The
letter has certain Importance at this
juncture because Hovey, as Republican
candidate for Governor Of Indiana, is
now posing as great savior of the
Union.

benefit they win derive from the pro-
curement of their bagging at actual
cost. One practical success win inspire
faith, and will bring another, until the
farmers win realize the potency of
combined effort and influence.
Whenever this point is clearly and
fairly attained, the trouble which has
so long handicapped and bnrdened the
producing class will be at an end.
Then we urge, If possible, by allmeans
to work up and carry on this factory
inside of your own organization.
We regard the establishment of
factory by the Alliance as of the great
est importance in the event that cotton
shall prove to be substitute for jute,
as now seems probable, aud as we trust
may prove true.
1t may be found after full investiga-
ton that faith is wanting among your
people to induce them to invest tho
necessary means to establish this
factory. we understand, in part at
least, the obstacles that have to be
removed-faith has to be inspired, and
it may be fairly to be expect
ed that many of your members will
decline to subscribe even the small
amount of stock asked. We trust,
however, that among your large mem-
bership there may be sufficient
amount obtained to carry out the OBJ
ject In view. But in the event you
fail to have the necessary amount of
stock taken by your own members, we
feel fully authorized in saying that it
will be readily taken by the business
men of our city.
The matter is deemed to bc of such
great Importance that we feel entirely
safe in making the above offer. We
might in fact be able to carry all the
stock, but this, in our opinion, win not
accomplish the purpose. We believe
this factory, as we have said, should be
inaugurated and operated under the
auspices of the Alliance of Mississippi.
The matter is with you. We have
hastily embodied our views as here
with set forth, and we tender you the
hcartiest cooperation of our Board Of
Trade, (Which represents 95 per cent
of the taxes paid in the city Of Jack,
sony, in any effort you may decide tc
make on this lInc.

Remarkable and Disastrous Flood.


Augusta, Ga, Sept 1.-The worst
food known in the history Of Augusta
is subsiding tonight. The river be-
gan rising ominously Friday. and at II
o'clock Saturday reached 2S feet 8
inches. AT this point II began falling,
and went down to q feet by Sunday
noon. This filed the people with a
sense of security, all idea of flood
was generally abandoned and the citi-
zens retired on Sunday night not gcn-
orally apprised Of the fact that at 4
o'clock on Sunday afternoon n second
rise had set in. This was the most
rapid rise over known in the history OF
the river, the gauge at the bridge
showing the rise between 7 p. m. and
1 a. m. Sunday night of five feet ono
inch, or over fifteen inches an hour.
From four to six inches is considered
a rapid rise. After o'clock the rise
continued at the rate Of ten inches an
hour, and by daylight had flooded the
lower portions Of the city, and the
people were awakened by the water
running In ON them. This occurred
in many instances before daylight, and
the unexpected rise, combined with
the darkness, caused great fear
among them.
The river rose rapidly all day Mon
day and. Monday night reaching n
maximum Of 80 feet inch at o'clock
this morning, which is the highest
point on record. The whole city,
from the first level Of the canal to the
river was completely submerged, the
water varying from three to fifteen
feet IN depth.
The crops ON the lowlands along the
Savannah River and other streams
adjacent have been utterly destroy
ed, and the loss TO the planters
must be very great. In the freshet of
1910, the severest ever known, the
water did not reach its present height
by fifteen inches. There is consider
able distress in portions of the city
where people were compelled to seek
refuge in second stories and were cut
off from food supplies by the water.

Electric prostration may be called
new disease. II troubles workers
under electric light Severe cases are
reported from Creusot, France, where
an electric furnace is used for quickly

suffer from IT, and not from the heat.
After one or two hours the workers
have q painful sensation in the throat,
face and temples, the skin becomes
copper red, and an eye irritation be-
gins that lasts forty-eight hours, the
discharge of tears being copious. AZ

colored glasses somewhat mitigate the
effects of this tremendous light, but
not entirely.
