AUGUSTUS FLOODS.
The Digging of a Mile Canal as a
Relief Under DiRcuSsiOn.

AUGUSTA, GA, Feb. 19-The river is
settling back slowly to its bed after reach
ing hight of 80 feet and 1917 inches.
Much concern was felt during this morning
over news Of heavy rainfalI up the coun-
try, but further than keeping the water
in the streets longer and making the
fall slower, no evidence was found of
it here. The Port Royal roads trains ara
delayed by damaged trestles below the city,
and the Augusta and Knoxville trains came
in several hours late, with the fires about
out from running through water. The
present high water has reopened the ques-
ton Of taking some steps to prevent inunda-
tions in the future, and at the next meeting
Of the city council the question Of digging
siK-mile canal from Miller's mill to Rocky
Cut on the river below the city, az a relief
from back water will be discussed. All the
property owners along tae line have given
right of way. Much is expected of the
work and the community is IN a mood to
back up any efforts toward relieving the
situation. Something will certainly come
out Of the discussion of the matter.

From the Rome (Ga.) Tribune.
There was party Of gentlemen seated in
the brilliantly lighted arcade of the Arm
strong the other night discussing Washing
ton city, the inauguration of President-elect
Harrison and various public men. Finally
one Of them remar ked:
II believe if a delegation Of Romans
would go to Senator Joe Brown and tell
him they wanted a government appro-
priation Of 100000 for opening the
Coosa river to the Gulf of Mexico, he
would get it. / know thst he has as great
influence as anv man In Washington city.
"A year or two ago l was in Washington
for a good mauy weeks trying to get
a friend cf mine government posi-
tion. He was smart and capable fellow
and | wanted Sl25 per month position for
him. | knew good many congressman
and senators and tried in vain to get my
friend a place. / knew Senator Vest very
well, and | said to him one day that | did
not see why he could not get the position
for my friend. He replied;
play cards too much. Are you from
Georgian
Il replied yes, that it was my native
state. He then continued;
"'Well, you 90 to see Joe Brown and tell
him where you are from and what yoU
want de will get a position for your
friend. II there IS not one vacant he will
make a new office for him.
"t went 70 see Senator Brown, explained
thing, to him and he told me to call next
day and he would see If he could get my
friend position. kept the engagement
for the mex day, and when called Senator
Brown told me he had position for my
friend on the interstate commerce commits
sion with n salary of $3.50 per month.
Now, I'll tell you if the people Of Rome
want to get that river appropriation they
should &c, Joe Browns influence. He could
go bef1. 2 tle committee on appropriations
for rivers und narbors and get just what is
needed.
"Whst became of your friendp was
asked.
"Oh, he's got the position yet. -
And the Tribune reporter walked 10 the
desk aud t).k down the names Of the
arrivals, wondering and building air castles
about imperial Rome when her commerce
was open to the Gulf OF Mexico.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A telegram

saying that Special Heath and two
employees of the Nez Perces reserva-
ton had been arrested by the civil
authorities. Mr.. Heath has been hav-
ing trouble with some Of the agency
employees and it is thought at the
department that his arrest has been
secured by IN employe named Will
liams. There has been trouble on the
Nez Perces reservation between the
agent and the employees for several
years. 1t grew so serious that Special
Agent Heath was sent to relieve
Agent Norris about two months ago.
This has not quoted matters, as the
present difficulty shows. To-day
Special Agent Welton, who is now at

of the Nez Perces agency, and a
thorough investigation was ordered
by the Indian office with a view To
removing from the reservation every
white person who has had any guilty
part in the disturbance there.

as rolling waves wipe out tiny foot

The selection of delegates to the
constitutional convention by the two
central committees of the county is a
new departure from the time honored
method of choosing them. The present
plan takes the naming of delegates
out of the hands of the people and
puts it in the hands of committees.
Ordinarily this would be seriously
Objectionable, but the present exist
ing state of affairs in the Territory
justifles the plan and makes it best
and cheapest for all. The people will
be called on to pass upon the acts of
the convention and it will be by their
voice whether they stand or fall. The
selection of these delegates then is a
new duty imposed upon the committee
and by the selection they make will
they be judged, and for which will
they be held responsible. THE News
trusts no mistakes will be made, this
is the time for committeeman to rise
above personal considerations and
personal favoriteism and select men
who will best serve the county in this
field of work new and untried to all.
In addition to the selection of men
who win do their duty and whole
duty, county pride should prompt us
to select those who will take rank
among the best and foremost on the
convention floor and who, while al
the capital, will reflect credit upon
themselves and honor upon Bingham
county. We make an appeal to the
committees to act with more thar
usual art in the matter because the
people entrusts them with this new
duty that properly belongs to them
selves and We express a hope that
the confidence of the people will no.
be misapplied.

WHEN Idaho, with a constitution
equal in every respect to the constitu-
ton of Montana, of Washington and
Of the two Dakotas, comes to knock
at the door of Congress for admission
to Statehood, the door will, most like
", be opened But to frame that con
stitution and have it ratified by the
people will require the adroit and
harmonious, workings of the best men
in the territory. That there will be
opposition to the measure, at home
and abroad, there can be no question.
Already a number of parties stand in
battle array against it; but by wise,
conservative and temperate action
the opposing elements can be over
come and Idaho admitted along with
the four Territories provided for by
the enabling act of congress. To
this end politics must be entirely
eschewed, ambitious men must bride
their ambition and be silent about
offices and more than all the bone and
sinew Of the Territory, the honest tax
payers, must be satisfied that the
move is for the lasting good OF the
whole Territory. and above all that
some provisions will be made to cur
tail the heavy current expenses and
lessen the taxation now so efectuaIly
sapping the very life blood out Of
them. With this hope they cheerfully
acquiesce in the nov for Statehood,
but obliterate this hope and the last
vestige Of q chance will be wiped out
